control leds at the numark mm control

today i got my numark mixmeister control surface and i not even installed the included software since i mix music with my traktor pro. the mm control provides all the encoders i need to completely remove the keyboard and mouse from my mixing hours. input mapping worked okay due to the cool controller editor from ni, but making the controller show stuff like track cueing or fx status… that worked not so well.

as i didnt find them over the net: these are the (channel 1)  notes to trigger the leds of the mm control

weird thing is, that you need to substract one octave from every note inside traktor´s controller editor. so, if you read D4 make it D3 and you´re fine.

soundtrack for worQ – 08/10

It´s about time to put you three more techno emeralds into the browser. you decide whether you click (take the colored pill) or whether you leave (because you´re not 18 or older).

koxbox – the great unknown

check this funny vid out and hear by yourself what´s the deal of good psytrance. digging into ontologies.

sleeparchive – research

this is what i do. research. this is the soundtrack to my every action. and it´s also greatly mixable 10 of 10!

holgi star & miro pajic – oldschuhe

good grooving basslines and a perfect shuffle make this track a lovely tool for the feet while the fingers keep flying over the keyboard. a head nodd of it´s own kind. enjoy the clowns.

soundtrack for worQ – 04/10

First of all: Luke Slater´s new masterpiece. I selected the most annoying track from it, because this is such a great mess for my brain when programming.

grooves and shuffles ftw… Uto Karem

and one more classic techno smasher pump panel´s ego acid… because it reminds me of nice parties had back then…
Did McDonald’s make this tune? Cause I’m lovin it!

my remix for röyksopp´s tricky tricky

today is the last day of the remix contest for röyksopp´s fantastic track tricky tricky and as i had spare time for the weekend, i attended with this remix. It´s my straightbeat weekend story to interpret… maybe it´s an aural time lapse for a clubbing time from friday afternoon to sunday midnight, maybe it´s a two parter to be played in a club from one style to another, or… maybe it´s all nonsense and it´s just 7m 25s for the subwoofer. as the track itself sais: this is what you get, a bunch of stories to interpret.

Dare to listen to it :)

As, like for the most, the voice makes up the most of the track, i took that and adapted it in whole. a saw synth is quasicoded by the vocals and brings the needed body for the track. even more important to me is the sub line of the original track, which i took into account for my remix. it has been a little bit boosted for club convenience. A little fm synth in a 3/2 pattern is installed so those nerds have something to shift on and the main part is aided by röyksopp´s marvelous chord part. this is the stuff i´m searching for in the acid-music: beautiful melancholy. 143 BPM.

Hope you like it. Nevertheless, you may find another remix more fitting your taste. a lot of cool work is summing up there!

tapea new mix, over and out. it features current music opinions with minimal and maximal techno ranges, listen to it and you’ll get it. the first half hour is for warming up and can prepare for the coming. with noise hiding in the middle part there’s the most fun part hehe. supposingly the end does not go off too harmonic. after all that synthetic mood there could come some warmth, which is placed at the end. hope you like it.

duration: 81minutes.
