Area 709

I received some feedback the other day that my mixes available here on Area709 are encoded as 128 kbs MP3's and that simply wasn't good enough. Fair enough!! I did not realize that I could be putting better quality files on the site and now that I know I can, I have gone back through my entire mix collection and re-uploaded them as 320kbs files. I encoded them on the slowest setting for the highest quality possible and as most of you know it makes a HUGE difference. 

So... if you are so inclined you can now delete all those nasty 128 kps versions and nab the new ones. Being the sound junkies that most of you are, I am sure you will do just that.

While you are at it you can have a listen to the new label mix I have completed for Zenon Records. It is a mix of all the tracks on the Small Talk release and they went together like butter. It's a minimal/psy-tech sound that only Zenon could pull together. A new leaf for the label and enjoyable to explore as a listener and a DJ.

Also I have posted up on my Facebook fan page a clip of footage taken from last years Motion Notion. It catches Norris and I as Sons of Aurora right at the beginning of the set, I believe I am babbling about something regarding the bpm... that was an awesome night.

Take it easy my friends!!

Two mixes completed in one month, I'm on a roll. I have just posted a mix which is pumping journey through the halls of psytrance heaven, well at least for me it was! I have to admit, that full -on psy and I have a love and hate relationship. Why? Because it's so bloody hard for me to find tracks that I love, and unless I love a track I can't be motivated to pull together a mix or a set. Mediocre music seems to be flooding the internet and it's making it 1000 times harder to find music that I really like. For instance, recently I was looking for progressive breaks to do a new mix with and after listening to 1300 tracks online, I purchased 12 and of those I only kept 6. Ouch.

So yes my friends, I am basically one big human music filter. If you happen to like some of what I like, well then I just saved you 1000's of hours in searching. So that is my gift to the greater noosphere. Take what you like, leave the rest, and enjoy the music that makes you freak out when you are all alone in your living room dancing with the volume cranked.
