How to beat tight security - I’m the DJ!
Can’t get in da club? Just say you’re the DJ! Funny as hell.
SXSW Gametap Mix
I had the pleasure of playing the SXSW Interactive party for Gametap at Parkside on March 8th, 2008. Everyone was super friendly and fun and overall the night was a blast. Parkside had some great hors d’oeuvres (otherwise known as snacks) and the staff was very helpful nd cool, especially Sean. Big thanks to everyone that night, I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Here’s the almost 4 hour mix from the night which includes everything from dub, reggae, hip hop, indie rock, house, electro, dance rock, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Hot Chip and everything in between. This is not my normal type of gig which is to say I normally play underground electronic dance music and don’t cross as many styles, genres or bpms/speeds. The mix isn’t the most technical but its very listenable with a ton of great tunes. I might add the tracklist inglater if I can find the time.
Enjoy and feedback is always welcome.

Chris Fortier live sets for Download and Stream
Slow Motion Music had Chris down to Austin to play at SKY in July 2007. As usual, Chris played a solid 3 hour set. I had my M-Audio MicroTrack recorder setup to record and the cable got half unplugged during his set. Here’s a make good on that failed attempt, not one but 7 live mixes from Chris’s recent travels. Enjoy.

My laptop is dying
Played a gig on Saturday and the screen turned all Matrix red on me. I’m 100% Serato based and now I realize how bad it is to be dependent on a PC and not CDs. I’ve got to make it through the rest of SXSW with this cracked out screen or go and drop $1500 on a new laptop. Either way, I’m F’d in the A. Here’s a funny video to cheer us up.
