From me to you... ;)

March snuck up on on us this month and none of the folks that were supposed to have done this column followed through, so I thought I would throw one of my old mixes out there.

It was only recently that I stumbled across this mix that I had made for Sherri a couple of years ago. I thought it might be a good anniversary present, but never really gave her this copy with the last 4 or 5 tracks, until now. So, happy 20 babe... let's see where this highway goes, eh?

Honestly, the mix itself is mostly just a bunch of trax that I had on vinyl that she really liked. It's not perfect by any means and I definitely don't know what you would categorize it as. Kinda House... mostly. Whatever you wanna call it, have a listen. The mixer I was using had no channel-by-channel EQ, only one on the master, so the levels are a tiny bit off here and there, but not too much. Hope you dig it.




Here's what in it... track by track
  1. ummmm.... dunno.... it was the first track of a DJ Lawrence demo CD I got long ago that is awesome!
  2. O yea... if you've been around a minute, you know this one by Nalin & Kane - "BEACHBALL!" (The Original Club Mix).
  3. This track is one I picked up on Central Park Recordings, RSVP Remix by John Creamer and Stephane K. Very good inbetween track.
  4. I found this next track on one of Kid Icarus' records that he gave me a while back. It's "Hello Tomorrow" (JV & Red Eye Future Retro Mix)
  5. I just couldn't love this track more.... Joeski & Djulz - "A Night on Clery St" ... you can do anything with it... though this time, I let it go a lot longer than I really intended.
  6. Kinda stumbled here a little, goin into Faithless featuring Dido "One Step Too Far" - Alex Neri's Club Vocal
  7. Romain & Danny Krivit... I really stumbled into... sorry guys, but it is a great track on The Philly Groove EP. I just don't remember if it's "Phillys Groove" or "Ride"
  8. This track is undeniably one of the best tracks EVER! Puretone - Addicted to Bass (Different Gear Mix) But then, I have never been dissappointed in a Different Gear Mix.
  9. I have no idea where I got this, but it really is a pretty cool track. Amber "the need to be naked" (Peter Bailey's Tuff Luv Dub)
  10. What's not too love about this track? John Creamer & Stephane K - "I Love You". Positively Sexy Evil!
  11. The last two tracks were just kinda lobbed in there at the end... a couple that I was working with at the time, trying to decide which one would follow Track 10. Funny, they ended soundin just fine the way they are.
  12. see track 11.

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

running through color

A couple of folks from our crew participated in a run out at a local elementary school.  The entire schools showed for this one, lined up and ready to be splashed with some colored powder or another. The more they ran the more colorful they became.  Beats all around set a festive tone for everyone. Those of us participating chilled on the playground after a few laps, then joined back in for another lap or two to close out the day.    Free drinks and snacks refreshed those otherwise banned from enjoying the ice cream truck.

  An afternoon focused on technology down at J. Rieger & Co. broke up the week nicely, offering a unique learning experience from Pomerol Partners.  Lunch and presentations associated with machine learning and data stack modernization were followed by a discussion around large language models with a few Kansas City IT leaders.   Immediately following that, Abstract Technologies talked about LATAM opportunities through nearshoring staffing services, followed by Black Khaki Brand Communicators discussing maintenance of organization cultural wellness.  Topping things off like a cherry on top, we learned of a new podcast worth listening in on, entitled " Drinks and Data ," hosted by KC technology leaders Kanon Cozad and Shawn Helwig.
