For those that weren’t able to make it last night, I successfully recorded my entire 2-hour set at the Downtown Café in the East of Paris. A couple of months ago I had already done a warm-up set for Bounce 2 Live, but due to hardware difficulties the entire night wasn’t recorded…
I prepared a playlist that balanced my tastes in jazz, dub, reggae, rocksteady, ragga, hip-hop, soul, funk, and even some drum n’ bass. Of course during the actual set the playlist was adapted according to the crowd’s reactions, which was pretty good.
I hope some of the minor technical mistakes don’t keep you from enjoying my first real live performance (i.e. in front of a crowd of friends and strangers).
Enjoy!
For those interested, the mp3s were played using the MixVibes software on a laptop, itself connected to a mixer (thanks to Antoine for the laptop!). The other gig I’d played at had a laptop and Serato, and I have to say I’m seriously considering investing in that magic piece of equipment. To be continued…
I’ve been waiting to get the chance to post some of the 8track playlists I’ve been preparing, but it takes some time to compile and the embedding function wasn’t always available…
This coming Thursday (Feb. 4) I may be playing some tunes at a friend’s farewell party at a bar in Bastille, so I’ve been reviewing some of the latest tracks I’ve accumulated lately. I’ve come up with this playlist which should give a good idea of the stuff I’ll be playing.
Enjoy!
