Thallowe'en 2010

I played at the big Thallowe'en party at Mount Allison University on Saturday night. It's a mainstream/top40 sort of event. I put this post up for anyone who wants to see a set list, or download a copy of the recording from the party.

44. Yolanda Be Cool, "We No Speak Americano" (Jarleen Bootleg).
45. Duck Sauce, "Barbara Streisand" (O God Remix).
46. K'Naan, "Take A Minute."

Like I said, it was a mostly mainstream/top40 show. I started with an hour of 90's hip hop mixed with modern hip hop, and then went into more upbeat tracks for the last couple hours. I think that the only thing I really regret is throwing the Usher/Pitbull track in near the end. I had to speed it up quite a bit to make it beat-mix, so it sounds out of place to me. There were a few minor slips in the beat mixing and key mixing, but overall, considering the chaos, the mix is pretty good. This was mixed live on CDJ's, not on a laptop. I ended up "mastering" the mix heavily with the Waves L3 Ultramaximizer plug-in, which I am not fond of doing, but it makes the end mix sound more like it did in person. That's kind of important, since a lot of people won't be listening to this on a loud system like we had at the party.

Harper Havoc 2010 Set List

This is another top40/mainstream set, not house/trance/techno. It was a booking at one of the major residences at the University. Not a huge party, maybe 300-400 people, but a lot of fun.

I did not record this show. To be honest, I was scared to. I put out a call for requests before the party, and got a few pages worth - enough for about three nights of music. I tried to play at least one request from everyone, so it led to a very patchwork set for the first few hours. So for any of the professional DJ's looking at this who are thinking, "how can all that flow together?" ... well, it can't. But a busy dance floor works wonders when you're playing popular songs, even if you're switching up the genres frequently. I wanted to mix in some down-tempo, some classic rap, some contemporary hip hop, some rock, and some 128bpm dance tracks. Musical chaos. The last hour and a half felt like it flowed decently though.

Here are the set listings from tonight's show.

01. Kings Of Leon - Knocked Up.
02. Beastie Boys - Paul Revere.
03. ODB - Got Your Money.
