Randy Boyer just came out with a new track:
Randy Boyer & Kristina Sky (ft Cari Golden) - No Limit

- check it out if you're a fan of trance / dance. I've also seen a couple remixes of his around like this one for darude.

I originally heard about Randy Boyer from a friend at work, another fellow aspiring DJ he was impressed with Randy's style of trance. He introduced me and I caught a show this winter at room 960 in the middle of a blizzard (which s the start to any great story in New England).

It was a great show, he's got an awesome style. You can listen to some of his other tracks over on his site: RandyBoyer.com and if you sign up for the newsletter you'll get a password for the secret area with all sorts of exclusive mixes and songs in MP3.

Check out the video for Randy Boyer & Kristina Sky (ft Cari Golden) - No Limit

Here's another mix I did a few months back, realized I hadn't posted it or added it to the net yet - it was still sitting on my work computer and my old MP3 player.

So check it out - I had mixed it up a while ago but since I had recorded of sirius it had a couple dead spots, I've done my best with this version to blend the dead spots out, you can probably still hear them, but this mix would be top notch if not for those IMHO. =)

Here are a few mixes I've done as of late:
Anavan - The Perfect Sound (WijiX SoundOff Mix) [listen]

The Veronicas - Untouched (WijiX Touché Mix) [listen]

Lady Gaga - Just Dance (WijiX MiX) [listen]

I also have a pretty awful session [listen] where I started playing with my new XSessionPro. It's the first time I've been able to mix between two MP3s... now if I only had a second audio card on the laptop so I could listen to the cue.

I'm asking for a USB mixer for XMass so I can mix my MP3s together.
I'm a bit concerned how it does the BPM matching. I'd really like to have a dial to adjust it for either so I can do it manually - but just as I feared this I ran into the following (Free) software:

Zulu DJ Mixer by NCH Software

Please donate while you're at it since it's currently free and really great.

There are many options, drag and drop files to load them, then drag them to either A track or B track - you get a visual representation of the track so you can see the dips and stops. You also get volume, pitch, synch (sets BPM), and Cue if you have another audio card or USB headphones. It detects the BPM for each track as you load them, and you can adjust them each independently. You also get filters like distortion, high pass, reverb, phaser, flanger, and delay - all available and adjustable in realtime. It's surprisingly powerful for a free program and most likely better then the software included with the m-audio usb mixer.

Rapid Evolution 2

Runs on Java and Java runs like crap.

It can figure out BPM and key and all that, so it looks like it would be really cool but didn't work right for me on VISTA.
If you have XP - you may want to give it a try. It should work on Linux too - there's different distributions since it runs on Java. After fiddling with it in VISTA I finally got it to access the audio hardware by running a command prompt as administrator and then executing it from a command line (.jar files can't be executed as admin by right clicking). Even when the audio did work, it would play for a few seconds and then stop. The file still appeared to be playing but I couldn't hear anything other then the first 5 seconds.

    Well I got the mixer, unfortunately the Zulu DJ does not work with it. M-Audio provides Torq LE from their site to be able to use it. You really need a second audio card to effectively preview otherwise you just collide the other track in but it's got some cool built-in effects, visualization of the track and it's still much better to control an MP3 with then an ipod.

I was practicing some scratching this evening - have a listen...
Cicada Ramada (50% VBR 10mb)
Cicada Ramada (320k Constant 25mb)
(a la roach motel)

I cut it up a bit... I'm thinking my hard drive needs a defrag because right as I was hitting it up style the recording goes all wanky. In any case most of it was still good so I got creative with what I had.

So I was forwarded this little utility for finding random music. I'm still not sure of the full story behind it but I've tried typing in many a random song name and it found something. I'm not sure if it's similar to what I searched for but it's rather difficult to not have something come up.

Hint: Try Song Name - Goose, no Author

Also - I am posting this because I got it to turn out remotely how I wanted it to. I actually redid this one because the one I did last night didn't involve MY NEW MIXER! (and the channels were unbalanced).

So please - listen to DJ WijX - Thrice Baby (Once Removed).mp3
