DJing in Oxford

Hey kids!

I just DJed part of the final bop for this term at Trinity College, where I've been studying this semester.

For those who don't know, bops are themed parties in the college bars (yes, British colleges have bars, the drinking age being 18 and all that).

If you aren't familiar with my DJing, I primarily use a program called MixMeister Fusion, which my old roommate Chris pirated for me after I got addicted to it by playing around in the studios at the V (WVMM, 90.7, Messiah College Radio). It's kind of cheating, as the program does automatic beat detection and matching, but it makes things simple so I can focus on rocking a party instead of the technical aspects of mixing (and also avoids the co$t of turntables).

I made an hour and a half long premix for the gig, was told I had an hour, so I chopped it down, then told I had as long as I wanted once I got there, and it ended up being about an hour and ten minutes. Here is the final live version (contains explicit language*):

If you like it, let me know and I'll post more (hopefully higher quality) mixes.

* I do not have the edited versions of many of these songs, a large number of which were by request. Due to the last-minute mixing, I did not have time to edit them much myself. This was played live for adults in a bar, and if you are not used to the lyrical content of club-based music and/or hip-hop, you will most likely be offended and probably should not listen. If this is a concern for you, but you would like to hear a mix of mine, let me know and I will post one of my better-prepared ones. If you would like an edit of this, you can request that as well, but it may take a while and will not be true to the live experience.
