Pretty dark, moody laid back Techno mix recorded this weekend. Stream or download Here or on iTunes
Note: I was totally high on Vicodin when I did this and that drug causes me to have pretty bad amnesia. Therefore, I cannot say for 100% certain I mixed this. But it was on my PC and I bought all of the tracks, so there's enough circumstantial evidence to send it to the jury.
My next mix will be a lot more energetic with me getting back to my roots. I already have the tracks selected but need to put them in proper order.

| Coincidentally, I subscribed to this earlier this morning. I wasn't aware of the iTunes store link, so I subscribed in iTunes via the RSS feed in your blog. Look forward to checking it out. |

I listened to the "Minimal Mix" on my run today. I don't usually wear headphones on the run, but I was on a 12-lap to the mile indoor track. Good stuff, helped my drift off and not worry about having to do 72+ laps.  |

Well, I am glad it worked out for you 72+ laps. Dude, that's like my 22 mile dreadmill runs. Eww.
Wait until I post up the one I have planned to record this weekend. It's going to be a mover. You will want to run, dance, climb a pole or something. I am still selecting which tracks to drop on it and I might make my first 120 minute mix. Yes, I have that much new good music.
The style is going to be progressive house which is like a little bit of trance and a little bit of house. Actually Jeff, a lot of my progressive tracks will remind you sonically of Floyd. Think of One of These Days off of Meddle, evolve it about 35 years with a few little tweaks and that's where my stuff is.
And all you female beauts will like it because it's going to have several vocal tracks on it. My wife (and most women) like vocal tracks. And I don't mean cheesy club remixes of top 40, like Britney Spears. Any DJ that plays that crap and believes it's good should be shot.

Drop in on your iPod Zoomie. I EQ'd it so it sounds great with your iPod EQ set to Electronic. Not too much bass like Hip Hop, but just enough.

I banged the hell out of it on the bottom of our bed (it's wood) about 3:00 am Sunday morning. Went back to sleep. I forgot about it until I stepped out of bed and put weight on it. It got horribly black and purple yesterday and hurt like a mo-fo. Made me all gimpy too. WTF?
Knowing me, I almost posted a pic but you know how I am about feet. I am going to have my ortho look at it today when I get my stitches pulled out, although I don't think there's much that can be done for a broken toe. |

I hope it didn't take you 2 hours 
That's a long run mix. |

Heh. No, it was about 43 minutes.
If I'm not mistaken, since that's a podcast, it should pick up where I left off next time, which is nice. I have it on my Shuffle (or rather, my wife's Shuffle). I also included some tracks from The Power And The Glory: The Original Music & Voices Of NFL Films. This is in case I want to pick up the pace a bit.

Yeah it should pick right up, at least it does on my iPods. Whenever I need a push in a workout I always listen to old school rave trance which is usually spun around 133-135 beats per minute. As a comparison, my stuff is usually around 126. Huge difference.
You can find decent trance on iTunes for free. When you get to about the last 4 songs on that new mix, it's trance as far as I am concerned. I just slowed it way down. You should be able to hear it too because the trance tracks are mixed much differently than the rest. You can't do long mixes playing trance or it sounds like all hell...too noisy. |

'bout half way through it right now (listening whilst toiling away for the man, grrrr) and it's pretty right on, Marcus! I don't know shit about Techno, and figured I wouldn't go for it but that it deserved a listen. I must say, I've been impressed and have gotten caught (twice) by passers by doing the head bob. For a guy that listens to mostly hard stuff, that's saying something!
