My newest mix is up again! This one will have to last at least a day longer as I'll be away until monday so won't be able to do next week's before tuesday evening. On the bright side, this is another 3hour+ mix and I've included a few massive (forgotten) classics among the week's new releases!

The new single by TECHNOLORGY is probably not the first one to exist - but it is the first track I've ever heard to use a sample from Kathryn Bigelow's amazing but highly underrated film Strange Days.

Friday is as per usual Youtube day! My latest weekly mix can now be watched with glorious album art and rhythmycally bouncing bars! For those who prefer a different platform to mixcloud and a bit of a visual stimulus! Other than that it's the same fully mixed 3+ hour collection of mostly brand new music!

Here's another weekly mix for you all! A day late because life stil...

A bit later because life sometimes comes first but that just meant I had a few extra new tracks to add that were released after the weekend! It also meant I could start a bit earlier resulting in a 3+ hour long mix. And with 43 debut tracks on a total of 61(!) Your next musical obsession may very well be contained in this mix!

Like on general I release my weekly mixes on Mixcloud on tuesday, Fridays are for the release on Youtube! I love that I can add the original album art and make that visible for listeners. Album Art is a part of the identity of a Song/album! (And it's pretty easy to see which song is playing at any time, which is a weakness with Mixcloud)

Another week, more new music in another weekly :beatnation: mix. The heat made me sin against one of my principles as I already put in a faderhead track before realising I also had a new one ready (and caused a few more lapses in concentration) but there's some great new music in this one so I hope someone finds a new favourite here!

A very sweaty new weekly :beatnation: has arrived! Despite the heat in my living room where I mix these I still managed to get a 2 hour set done featuring several recent classics and new music by Slichtnacht, Flesh Field (Schneider mix) Bustié feat. Gina Kuhn, Vioflesh, Alienare, Noir (Gencab mix),...

With the weekly :beatnation: arriving a day later (as I wasn't home yesterday thanks to the long pentecostal weekend in Belgium) I have a question. Who among you listens to these weekly mixes? Do you have anything you're missing in them? And if you don't listen, what could get you to listen? Or do you just not know of them and are only getting this post because I tagged it with followers?

For those interested I'll add a bit of the anatomy of my weekly mixes. Generally on friday I will go through my mails for the latest releases on bandcamp. I'll listen to every track that was released that got my attention this way. When I find a track I like enough I will add it to my shopping cart on bandcamp. If I like enough tracks from a full album release I'll buy the full album. 'Like' in this context basically means that I feel I can incorporate it in a weekly mix and preferably also can conceive playing it for a real life club night. I'm away most weekends, so on monday after I get home from work I check my mails again for any releases added during the weekend (usually just a few at most) and will also check for any promo material I received either from bands/labels directly or from the few pools I'm a part of. This is also again just a few tracks at most, and I'll listen to each one but still hold to the same principles as the tracks I buy. I'll remove any I may have added in my bandcamp cart that also arrived as a promo (for which I'm always grateful) and buy the music that remains. Most weeks I will also check the german charts to see if I missed any band that may not be on bandcamp (or my bandcamp radar) and if I find any I want to add I'll look for other sources like Qobuz or Beatport to legally get my hands on these tracks. In the end I spend on average between €30 and €60 on new music every week.
After I bought all the new music I prepare my music folders. Moving tracks I played in the previous mix to my cooldown or 'replay' folders and copy the newly downloaded tracks to my 'newest music' folder.
I boot up my DJ software and load in all the music and have the software analyse it for characteristics like BPM and key and I'll check that the album art shows correctly. This makes the mixing easier as I don't do any more preparation for the mix. I set my software ready to record a video stream and the next 2-3 hours I play the mix. If you've ever seen me DJ live you know I'm quite enthusiastic and it's no different for the weekly mix. I treat it like I'm at a club.
After the mix is completed I convert the video file to audio and upload it (with a bit of a description) to Mixcloud, where I'll also add the automatically generated timestamped playlist. And I'll upload the video file to Youtube with a timer so it releases on Friday.
The next day I'll post the mix to my social media (FB and Instagram). On FB it's a straight link with the tagged tracklist in the comments. For Instagram I create a quick image with a QR code to the mix on mixcloud. The rest of the week I do some more promotion.

I don't know if this is something anyone was interested in but who knows right? On average through the week I spend about 7-8 hours on making and promoting these mixes and I still hope more than anything that someone discovers a new band or even just song through these and spends money (or time) on that band. I really mean it when I say the people making the music are the actual artists and they deserve your love (and money/time).
