Over the holidays I treated myself to Serato Scratch Live to compliment the new laptop, DJing was becoming a very expensive hobby as I stuck with vinyl for quite a while. Now I was in a position where I have a collection of 150+ vinyl and equipment that wasn’t exactly cheap, I didn’t want to get rid of it in favour of a MIDI controller and Serato allows me to use my decks with control vinyl to mix the MP3s within the Scratch Live software, perfect!

I haven’t had a lot of practise on it yet but after a wee spend on Beatport.com I thought I’d put a wee mix together, 13 songs lasting around 50 minutes to be exact. Took the opportunity to use my nanoPad too, was interesting to say the least! The track listing is as follows:

01 – Boys Noize – Kontact Me
02 – Les Petit Pilous – Wake Up
03 – Strip Steve – Breakin’
04 – Ke$ha – Tik Tok (Fred Falke Radio Mix)
05 – Uffie – Pop The Glock (Felix Da Housecat Pink Enemy Remix)
06 – Daft Punk – Digital Love (Algeronics Remix)
07 – Justice – DANCE (MSTRKRFT Remix)
08 – Funkagenda feat. MC Flipside – Nobody Listens To Techno
09 – Felix Da Housecat – Silver Screen
10 – Busy P – Protect & Entertain (Crookers Remix)
11 – Crookers – Love To Edit
12 – A-Trak & Laidback Luke – Shake It Down
13 – Bloody Beetroots & Steve Aoki – Warp 1977

There are a few rough bits, especially between tracks 4 & 5 and track 8 simply wasn’t that good a choice for the mix but other than that its no bad (honest!) – if those tunes appeal to you then its available to download here.

A little known producer that goes by the name of Fear of Tigers released his debut album ‘Cossus Snofsigalonica’ today, its a cheeky little electro/easy listening number, and what’s more it is available for free from either his myspace page or from deathelectro.com – enjoy!

Don’t say I’m not good to you

What a trip it was, great banter all the way through from start to finish, Thursday night to the Sunday morning was nothing more than a blur… what started off as a few ‘quiet’ drinks in the hostel on the Thursday night turned into chaos as happy hour was introduced and, I quote, “what’s so happy about happy hour?” Basically €1.50 beers and equally cheap Jagermeister… aw naw. Lets face it, it was pretty much game over from then on, we went out to watch the Celtic vs Hamburg Europa League match, which as I recall at the time being utter gash, we left to get munchies and I ended up having the best noodles I think I’ve ever had while certain other people opted for “Chhhiiiippppssss” – tell you what, the Dutch and the Belgians LOVE their chips.

The Amsterdam Dance Event itself (a 5 day and night thing), tremendous, we only took in one performance at the Heineken Music Hall on the Friday night that started out with Groove Armada then Deadmau5. Groove Armada were beyond tremendous, they performed a lot of new material and threw in the odd classic like Superstylin – Deadmau5 should take a lesson from them on how to work a crowd, every single person inside that arena was dancing from start to finish… then Deadmau5 came on… and what started off like a good set with a couple of new tracks from his latest album before throwing in an odd classic such as The Reward Is More Cheese turned into an utter bore, I know the guy is a minimalist electro house producer but jesus christ, awful. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan and have been for a long time, I saw him in Edinburgh in 2008 and he did nothing but chuck out tune after tune after tune that night but at the ADE it just wasn’t happening for him… his Macbook even crashed!

Got a taxi back into Amsterdam city centre with some other random guy who was kicking about from the gig, he sat in the front seat and did nothing but paint the side of the car the whole way back… ‘lol’

Saturday was harsh, we had to be out of the hostel early doors before getting a train through to Brussels where we would be staying in a quality little basement flat for a few days before returning home. Probably just as well we left Deadmau5 earlier than planned otherwise I doubt I Love Techno would’ve happened for us; we were burst all day so just wired into Jupiler (probably the European version of Carling) with a few energy drinks for good measure and got back on the wagon. The event itself was outstanding, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life, 35,000 spread out across 6 rooms, all there to have a good time and not the slightest bit of trouble… apart from a couple having a bit of a domestic and literally knocking the shit out of each other, again… ‘lol’… highlight for me at ILT was definitely Vitalic… lowlight… having to sit in a train station for 2 hours to get the train back to Brussels from half 5 in the morning.

Definitely would like to go to that again next year, maybe without half ending myself in Amsterdam the two nights leading up to it though.

It was good having the extra few days in Brussels after ILT to chill out and take in the scenery, its a really really nice city, and anyone wanting to have a decent night out there could easily have one. One word. Delerium. Two words. Ginger Nicky. And six more words. Davie Howatson what were you thinking? “SSSAAAANNNNDDDDDYYYYYY”

I’m still trying to figure out what would’ve happened if there actually had been a reservation for Davis :/

8 points from a possible 24? Fucking pish. Finishing 3rd behind Holland and Norway on goal difference in a group of 5? Fucking pish. Scoring only 6 goals in 8 games? Fucking pish. We were, in general, fucking pish and our squad was made up of more or less the same players that beat France home and away not so long ago, so thanks George, you’ve put us back to where we were under Vogts.

Gordon Smith, the man who introduced Burley to us 22 months ago as the new Scotland manager, the man who managed to leave the Scottish Cup without a sponsor only to then create the worst named cup competition in the world in the Homecoming Scotland Scottish Cup, was also the man pictured pishing himself laughing down in Cardiff when we were 3-0 down.

Get him to fuck, another penny pinching appointment by the disgrace that is the SFA, Smith is a bawbag, who’s contribution is only made to look good by Burleys, his tea is oot – P45 time for Gordon.

The next day it’ll be a quick trip down into Brussels before heading to Gent for the annual I <3 Techno festival, lots going on there too, looking forward to seeing A-Trak, Vitalic, Boys Noize, The Bloody Beetroots and maybe even Deadmau5 again! It’s going to be aff the scale!

It’s got a run down of some of the better work I’ve produced over the past few years, still to add lots more to it and get my university work uploaded too so feel free to have a look!

I feel as though the past few years since I left uni have absolutely flown in, the wonders of having a full time job eh? Days, weeks and months just escape in the blink of an eye, I mean what I find hard to believe is that it has been a full year since I was involved in my car crash which needless to say is still being sorted out by the insurance and lawyers.

Its been a tough past 12 months for a number of reasons, but I’m determined to make the most of things while I can, I am getting ‘old’ and I’m not going to be able to go at this pace forever so fuck it, 25 is going to be a good year, starting off next month with the Amsterdam Dance Event and I Love Techno (Belgium) over the course of one weekend which I am dubbing the Techno Triangle.

Youth is wasted on the young.
