Hard work pays off!!!

I am now the opening DJ at Progression Thursdays at Suede in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since my passion within progressive house music falls on the early night/groovy stuff, it was a perfect fit. I had been frustrated many of times when the opening DJ is banging it out and not properly warming up the people. I now have the opportunity to fix that problem.

I am very thankful that Matty and Eric trust me to get things started right. This opportunity will give me weekly experience of playing on a good sized sound system, learn how to read a crowd and hone my skills. Mixing in a bedroom and mixing in a club is night and day.

I also want to say thank you for the comments/feedback, online and offline, I have received about the April mix. Work has begun on the May mix.

Mint DJ's April Progressive House Mix

The wait is over for your fix of Mint DJ's new progressive house mix. I humbly apologize for the delay. Two factors....I have purchased two new CD decks and I have been working on a new original track.

I recently purchased two new Pioneer CDJ-200S. You can check out the new decks here. These CD decks are really cool. The jog wheel has a very smooth feel and has a very accurate response, much like vinyl.

The new tune is almost done. Rost from Delikate Imposters has been giving me some feedback that has led to some adjustments. I will post the tune when it is finished.

The April mix....I am very excited about this mix. It really came together nicely, especially with me getting familiar to some new gear. Again, all the tracks on this mix was purchased from EDM Digital. This set has a smooth ride with some good twists and turns. Please any feedback would be welcomed. The track listing is below.
