Heh, did anyone catch on, or at least make some comment about the selection? Or did they just keep on going (and drinking)?

This is amazing dude, mind if I post it on a few other forums? I'm sure they would like it too.

That's four squarepusher tracks including the Chaos AD stuff @_@

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 11:18 pm

I would bow, but I'm still trying to figure out how you have 50 cent and Square pusher in the same set.

Isn't ESPGaluda II the most dance-music like?

dial911 · Post by **dial911** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 5:45 am

The transition between Polyrhythm -> Garegga was simply amazing - thank you much, kind sir, for making my day

pixelcorps · Post by **pixelcorps** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 6:28 am

@elixir - sure but stagger the postings per forums as it would kill my bandwidth!

@bulletmagnet - a fair few people noticed the tracks, there were a good few gamers there! a whole bunch were yelling 'row! row! fight da power!'

@udderdude - I wouldn't play espgaluda tracks because I hate that trance sound..

@ shelcoof - it was at gamers cafe, I don't normally spin stuff like that but I decided to have some fun..

@GP - but its a commodore 64 remix of fiddy!!

Awesome mix man, props. That Mushi/Perfume/Garegga part was pure sex.

Aahh...forgiveable then. I was about to lump you w/ the "DJ's" (finger quotes) found in Honolulu and Las Vegas: the two most musically devoid cities in the free world.

*confession* I'd been practicing that particular segment for weeks before hand

Pardon the newbie question, but you mixed those tracks live? Was anything pre-recorded by you to make it easier (like isolated vocal or rhythm tracks or transition effects)? I'm trying to understand what constitutes DJing nowadays (aka I don't get out much anymore and last remember DJs mixing vinyl

).

Anyway, love the mix you got there!

Rupert H · Post by **Rupert H** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 2:07 pm

I must admit to being a little sceptical when I saw this thread and half expected it to be, well, a bit rubbish if I'm honest. Hell though, I needed to hear Namiki and Squarepusher used in the same live set and I must say I was blown away.

Fantastic choice of tracks and some seriously nifty DJ work in terms of beat matching, etc. This will be getting some serious public exposure at my shop and I know more plenty of folks that are really going to appreciate it. Excellent work!

Any more where that came from? I reckon there's room for the Garegga, Ketsui, DDP DOJ and DDP Dai-Fukkatsu TLB tracks in another mix.

this was done live on 2 pioneer CDJ decks and a laptop using a virtual DJ package..
you drop the bass on the EQ to get rid off a little of the low end of the track, and there's lots of EQ fading along with the volume fades.. none of the game stuff is on vynil as far as I know.. there's a few bits where I set the beats from other tracks to loop to keep the mix a bit more solid, but while thats looping i'm cueing up other tracks and wrestling the faders..

the owner of the place was scratching over the top, but I recorded it direct from my mixer outputs into my cowon D2 mp3 player / recorder, so I didn't get his outputs, probably a good thing...

@ rupert - I only play at that cafe every few months, and i might be moving to tokyo soon, so I dunno if i'll play there again, but there's plenty of other gamer spots I could try and play at.. normally I just spin electrotechno, so that was a one-off, for now at least..

Even if you didn't include any shmup tunes, you are awesome for the Metroid theme.

pixelcorps · Post by **pixelcorps** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:14 am

you guys HAVE heard my madonna VS super shinobi mashup, right?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:26 am

It's the same thing for the most part, but there is equipment that can mix CDs, or other digital formats. The high end CD turntables even have "vinyl" mode, which make it (as one would expect) feel like you're mixing vinyl. Arguing which is better is a LOT like bitching about games on media versus downloads. CD sound has apparently caught up, and its WAY easier on the artist to carry around CDs than 200 records.
