I am retired from music!

Aloha,

What a great run! I thoroughly enjoyed DJing in the public, producing mixes and making new friends. I want to say thank you to all the people who supported me, taught me about DJing and provided feedback over the past 3 years.

Along with rock bands, a successful live pa (Mint) and DJing I have been seriously involved in making/playing music for over 16 years. My desire now is to devote more time to my family, career, ministry and other hobbies.

Below is a link to my last CD which is available through Kunaki.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Saved by His Grace!

Mint DJ's This Week at Beatport June Mix

Hello,

Sorry for the delay. This mix is hands down the best I have ever done in regards to mixing and transitions. I really brought my A game and I give all the glory to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. It is surprising how mixes turn out when forced with a short timetable for This Week at Beatport.

This weekend I am playing for Pete's (TWBP owner) birthday party that happens to be 7-7-07. I am excited and hope I do well. I am also doing a sort of "Best of This Week at Beatport" mix. This mix will be made up of tracks I played on the past six mixes. I will podcast the "Best of" mix in several weeks. If you can't wait, it should be available sometime next week on www.thisweekatbeatport.com.

Enjoy the summer!

I need help Europe!

Hello,

I will be traveling to Sopron, Hungary in the first part of August. If you know the city well or have friends that live in Sopron...I am looking for a place to DJ one night while I am there. It could be a nightclub or a pub. I mainly want to play some great music while I am there.

If you have any contacts or ideas, please email me or post on this blog.

Thanks!

What does deep house mixed at 130 bpm sound like?

Howdy everyone,

So you love deep house yet sometimes you what something with a little more movement...a little faster. I was wondering the other day what it would sound like if I really pushed up the bpm (beats per minute) to 130. Last night I had some extra energy (caffeine) and decided to record a quick half hour deep house set mixed at 130 bpm. Most of the mixes are good, some small slippage yet please provide your feedback about the sound and flow of fast, deep house.

Thanks.

New Mint DJ set at This Week at Beatport

Howdy Everyone,

I am very pleased and surprised that Pete Smalls continues to invite me to contribute a DJ set with all the technicall hoopes I ask him to jump through. Thank you Pete. (My love/hate technology relationship!) The set can be found over at This Week at Beatport. Sign up for the podcast if you haven't already done it. Pete puts together both sets each week in a "show" format including his awesome Tour de Genre sets.

It is a techy and progressive house set this time out. I totally dig the vibe which is different than what I have done in the past. The mixing is a bit sloppy in the beginning yet rocks once I get into my groove. (No excuses, I need to practice more!)

Here is the tracklising.
