April's Deep House Mix

Happy Easter!

Thank you for everyone's feedback recently to my decision to change from a monthly mix to a quarterly mix. The April mix has some great new music and my mixing is pretty good. The tracklisting is listed below in case you want to add one or two songs to your collection. I currently buy all my music from Beatport.com.

As some of you may know I use to buy all my music from EDM Digital. When I made the transition from progressive to deep house, I started buying my music from clickgroove.com and Beatport. I recently visited EDM Digital to find out they have stopped operations. It is unfortunate because they had a great website and was able to attract some very solid producers.

Again thank you for supporting my mix sets by downloading them and your encouraging posts. Have a great spring.

No more monthly mix...now quarterly

Aloha Everyone,

Well you may be wondering where the April mix is and when will I post it and podcast it. I have decided to try to drop one new mix every quarter. You think it would be easy to record one mix a month. I have some things in my life that have taken a priority over the monthly mix. For those who have gotten accustomed to a mix very month, I apologize. I do have a new mix in the works, so hang tight. I love DJing, finding new music and continue to spin weekly at Furio in Scottsdale.

Please feel free to drop me a line or post your feedback.

Collect More Bees with Honey

Hello everyone,

I wanted to pass along some news...I have recently had an online article published. You can read the article here. I want to thank Tastyfresh for believing I had something worthy to pass along. I realize I am not the most skilled DJ out there, yet I know its important to be responsible, professional, and friendly. Hopefully the article will provide some food for thought.

The March Podcast!

Howdy everyone!

Back to some funky deep house to get your body moving! Thank you for everyone who posted their feedback for February's mix. The March mix was a lot of fun to put together. Most of these tracks have proven to be solid room movers over at Furio for my weekly residency.

The past couple of weeks have been tough to keep my regular Thursday night because of work therefore I have been spinning on Saturday nights. Definitely a different feel with people ready hear things kicked up a notch on Saturday nights. I am very thankful and appreciative for the flexible management at Furio. It helps that I am the only DJ they have employed to play.

I have some great tunes lined up for April. See you then.

The February Mix

Aloha everyone!

Welcome to 2006! February's mix is some deep Nu Jazz and a bit of deep house. This is typically the sound I drop the first hour or so at Furio. Hopefully you will find it super groovy for your late night excursions!

Thank you for all the feedback from the New Year's Eve mix. I really enjoyed putting that mix together.

The New Year's Eve Set is here!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The two hour set for the New Year has finally arrived. This mix includes tracks I just bought weeks ago and tracks I have been playing for the past three months at Furio. Thank you for the feedback emails, they are very encouraging.

This two hour set allowed me the ability to really move things around. Having the recent experience of spinning 4 hours straight every Thursday at Furio has been beneficial in regards to incorporating different themes/sounds to a mix. I hope you enjoy the music. Again, I have to give a lot of credit to the producers of the tracks I spin.

I will be spinning at e4 in Scottsdale for New Year's Eve. e4 has four rooms and I will be in the earth room from 10pm-2am. You can check out their website at e4-az.com.

Thank you for all your support.

Moving into 2006!

The August Mix for November

I have recently received some emails asking me to post my August mix. I recently changed hosting companies because I was blowing out my bandwidth limit. I had to take down some of my older mixes. With my recent weekly residency and work related activities, it has been difficult to dedicate some real time to the November mix. Bam! Problem solved. I give you the August mix.

There will be no mix in December allowing me to prepare for a two hour mix I will release for New Year's Eve which hopefully will be picked up by some internet radio stations.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thank you again for your support.

Big thanks to eveyone!!!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone that has sent me feedback in regards to the October mix. If the new direction didn't turn you off which from the number of response I assumed not, than there is more to come. I have recently discovered some new tunes that are down right smooth and funky.

Here are some pictures from my weekly residency...Furio in Scottsdale









So if you are coming to Arizona and will be town over a Thursday night, please let me know.

Again, thank you for the great feedback.

Yeah...finally the October Mix!!!

Aloha everyone...well Arizona is finally starting to see some cooler weather, I have a new weekly residency and I am dropping the new October mix. This mix is super groovy. Sorry for the delay but it is worth it!

I want to thank Mike from the UK for creating that awesome graphic of me DJing. I love it so much I wanted to share it with everyone. Please visit Mike’s website for some of his other creations. I especially dig his Coldplay graphic. http://mikebeecham1.blogspot.com/

Please feel free to drop me your feedback. I was pretty stoked with my mixing and most of the programming. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did mixing it. The set includes music found on the web from 2Loop from Russia and Bergen from the Netherlands.

September mix coming soon

Hello and Happy Friday! This is the big weekend...I am going to record the September mix. Just to inform some of you new to the Mint DJ Monthly mixes...I do not re-record my sets or fix any user errors i.e. bad mixes. What you get is exactly what I sound like in a club or lounge. Some months are better than others depending on my mixing abilities for that given mix session.

I do clean up the audio file if there is a small pop, click or skip from the hard drive.

I am experiencing a gentle dug from the deep house sound. I am sure you will hear some new sounds this month. My goal is to provide a one hour mix that will be groovy and smooth whether you are at work, chilling by the pool or taking a late night drive.

I saw Coldplay last night....simply amazing! If you dig this group, I highly recommend seeing them live. They rock!

A few more days away till the September Mix. Again thank you for all your great support, encouraging email and posts. It is very appreciated!

Odeo.com....a new podcast portal

Hey all you ipod people, this might be old news to you but I still thought I would share it. Odeo.com is a podcast portal with shows, a sync application and other goodies.

Mint DJ now has a podcast channel over at Odeo.com. I know people into podcasts are always looking for new shows so this might be a website to check out. Here is the link to my "channel."

Mint DJ Channel

Talk to you later,

Geoffrey / Mint DJ

Thank you, thank you!

I want to say thank you for all the great feedback on the blog and by email. It is very encouraging.

I am already getting requests to submit mix sets for upcoming guest slots. I have a few more friends that I will use in months to come but will email everyone when I will need submissions.

Thank you again!

The August Mix....my best mix ever!!!!

IT IS HERE! I finally deliver on a mix with supreme mixing skills and exciting programming. I am really looking forward to your comments about this mix. This also the first time I dropped some progressive breaks into a monthly set.

The podcast is longer (2 hours) than months past due to the new feature...a guest mix. Dave Epstein is up for the first guest mix. Dave is the DJ would taught me how not just to spin records but techniques and skills that create smooth, intelligent mixing. Please feel free to post your comments about Dave’s mix here or send him an email at detroitdave@cox.net.

If you do not receive my set via podcast you can either (A) get with the program and buy an ipod or (B) download the individual sets posted to the right under "mixes." Each individual set will fit on a one cd yet the individual sets do not have my babbling introductions. For some this might be a good thing.

Great feedback...look out for the August mix

First off….thank you for all the great feedback. I really do appreciate it. After reading an email from my new friend in Greece, Stratos, I got super motivated and recorded a set that night. That set will be the mix for August. I believe the new August mix is best set I have ever recorded. The mixing is super tight and the programming is a lot of fun.

I will also have a new feature for August....a guest mix. Dave Epstein who is the responsible person for teaching me how to DJ will provide a guest mix for August. It will be attached as one big mix.

Thanks again, and count the days to August.

The July Mix

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the delay. Over the 4th of July weekend, my best friend Jeff and I were working out the web server stuff. The July mix is fair compared to past mixes. Don't get me wronmg, the music is top notch of course yet the mixing is a bit sloppy. My day job and traveling has paid a toll on my practicing and it shows. There are a few tight mixes for your enjoyment. I also realized I have fallen back into some old habits that have hindered my mixes from being exciting. Next month's mix will be much better.

Thank you for the great feedback every month.

Here is the track listing:

Gazor - Stabilized ( Blue Haze Natural Groove Mix )
Jordan Daniel - Porcelain
Smight - Pres. Asif Ahmed - Peanut Butta
Blue Room Project - Out Of Area ( Habersham & Numinous Remix )
Charles Jetzer - Organix
Chris Scott - Dance Device
Logiztik Sounds - Try Me
