Where's Summer?

Posted on Jun 6, 2008

Well...

 After a long hike into the bush last weekend in search for the mythical Dewar Hot Springs turned into a survival of the unfittest; my bones, feet and back are finally getting back to normal. Although we did not find this true legend of the B.C. wilderness, much fun was had by all. A bit of an unusual idea for a stag, but it was still fun. Darvin looked pretty hot in his pink hiking outfit. Probably kept the bears away!

 Wes has asked me to submit a mix for his radio show in July. I am about halfway there, and the mix will be posted on the site in July after the show. More progressive goodness from my end.

 The last Underground series of parties happened way back in April, and it was a good time to see the old faces again. Jay flew in from Vancouver, and Shadow FX was in from Australia with his sweet blend of progressive Psy. Everything was recorded, and I believe turned out great for the most part. It was nice having the original crew together again, and sad to see these parties come to an end (for now!). I will be posting the mix after Hana's first birthday bash on Sunday!

Speaking of Sunday... Hard to believe that it has already been a year! I cannot express how much love and joy she brings to me and Ada. Can't wait to see what the next year brings. Perhaps I should get some new photos up!!

Ibiza is just around the corner, and this will be the trip of summer. Sun, clubs, tunes, insanity, can't wait. Eric, book the damn flight already!!! I think the whole crew are totally pumped for this. Everything is in order, just got to go. Luckily for us Ada's Mom is here to babysit.

 Next on the agenda is surviving my final exam on Monday, then off Darvin and Reener's Hand-Fasting Ceremony on June 21st. I think some tune playing is in order for the night, and with Wes and myself and some cold ones, you never know what might happen! I think Darvin had said clothing was optional!

 Hope everyone is trying to stay dry, and is enjoying the start of a wicked summer. 

 Peas,

Rusty.

Where To Begin?

Posted on Feb 3, 2008

After many moons I am finally getting back to updating this blog. Happy extremely belated New Year's to everyone! Nothing has really changed at my front, still thoroughly enjoying being a Dad and still working a couple of jobs. This leaves very little time to update this area and create new mixes! The third Kultura event went down last night and it was a blast. Cheers to everyone who made it out on the cold night and hung around to the end, and thanks to the Steamers for rocking it upstairs! I was a little nervous about playing as I had not done it in quite awhile, and after following Cory and Andre, Darvin and Norris, the ante was quite high. I hope I did not disappoint! I should have a new progressive mix up this week based on the one I sent in for Wes' radio show. Hana finally has her first tooth! and has been sitting by herself for about a month! Christmas and New Years was a blast as Ada and I went back to Ontario for a couple of weeks. It was busy, but a lot of fun. Have to cut this short, but here's to hoping everyone stays warm and the New Year has found you in good spirits. Cheers!

FINALLY!!

Posted on Nov 11, 2007

At last, the new mix is up! Sort of a tribute to the Nano records label. The last few months have been a tough slog (finding the time to get this done between Hana and work, plus the old school method of mixing the the set straight with no edits!), but it is finally done! Not much in the the way of new melodic Psy that has been peaking my ears lately, except from Nano, and for them I am truly thankful. Found this to be a little bit of a challenge to keep it focused on the Nano records label and at the same time find the variety within the music so that it did not sound the same throughout. Getting psyched up as well for the Ecliptic event here in Calgary next weekend! Any reviews of the new mix would be appreciated (good or bad!). 
Rusty.
