April 2008 - The Sound with Jesse Brede
Funny story on this mix, I was mowing my lawn and broke a porcelain statue I had in front of my house. As I was throwing this piece of sh*t in the trash, it slipped out of my hand and cut my hand. It was pretty deep and at the base of my palm where my middle finger and ring finger met so I went to the hospital and got 5 stitches. The nurse wrapped my hand with about a mile and a half of guaze so I basically couldn’t use my left hand at all. I had planned to record my mix that night and when I got home, I downloaded 30 new tracks and recorded this mix using only one hand. If that ain’t rockstar, then I don’t know what is. Tommy Lee ain’t got nothing on me, b*tches. Sorry for all the profanity.
A few notes on the mix, its starts off with some classic deep house moves into some tech house then techno and progressive. After a couple of heaters, I drop back down into some tech house and finish it off with a round of breaks and electro buzzness. If you like it, leave me a comment and let me know.
Jack Schaedler was my guest this month. He and I got to open for Adam Freeland on April 17th at SKY and I have to give him some props for throwing down. He played Asher’s track in progress and played Francis Preve’s newest unreleased track and they both sounded great on the big system. Check out Jack and Asher every Wednesday at Light Bar.
Austin Nights . TV covers LickSamba and Slow Motion Music at Firehouse
My good buddy Tarek from LickSamba was in town a few months back and Austin Nights . TV showed up to cover the event. Toddy, myself and Tarek played that night. Luis, Toddy, DJ Grey and I were all interviewed by the lovely Laura. It was very loud and I think we all were having a hard time talking over the music, but I’ll post the video anyways for you to check out. My interview is at the end.
Ghostland Observatory with UT Marching Band
I was lucky enough to see the Ghostland show at Austin Music Hall for the CD Release party of Robotique Mystique. I found a youtube video of it and thought I would share. It was a great show, completely sold out, packed to the walls and the crowd couldn’t get enough.
March 2008 The Sound w Jesse Brede
Here’s my latest mix for “The Sound” on Proton. I had to pleasure to feature 4 Texas producers on this mix and they are all quality tunes. A quick recap: The mix starts off with 5 tracks of dance rock, two Alex Metric tracks off his new EP In the Machine and a nice Lance Cashion re-edit of LCD Soundsystem’s “Got to Get Away” which I played at the Austin Electronic Music Festival and did amazing. After that, I move into some tech house and prog and cap it off with an electro chunker by DeLuna from Del Rio. Towards the end of the mix, I drop Tritonal’s newest track “What I Say” which features vocal’s by my good friend Cristina Soto. This is one hell of a track that would likely get filed in the Trance section but to me its funky, progressive, electro and trance all in one. Tritonal is Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed who are both names to watch in the trance scene and have recently had tracks featured on Above and Beyond’s weekly internet radio show “Trance Around the World”. Last but not least, I end the mix with a track by Tarek from Licksamba. I love the live guitar in this track and Tarek really establishes a groove and brings it home.
