I’ve moved my studio space into my new domicile and I’m remembering just how much I enjoy having turntables. I’ve had a few dj mixes floating around in my head for a while, probably about time I kick ’em out so I can begin formulating some new ones. After all, if I’m going to start up a dj night again, I’d better get my ass practicing.
Ran across this one by DJ Brackenfern by way of a mailing list I’m on. I’ve been given permission to repost it here (right click, save-as). I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, its a bit older, but its really well mixed and programmed.
FYI, if your in Seattle, DJ Brackenfern will be playing soon:

I got to thinking — we have a vibrant mailing list here at downtempo.chron, complete with archives that go back to July 2003. I can’t tell you how many great new artists I got turned on to by that very same list, why not share it with the world.
But before I do that, I thought it would be worth asking *you* the mailing list (and web) community if you thought that *we* should open those archives up for public perusal.
What do you think? send us some feedback by way of comments
I’ve added Ken Wallace’s Groovetech Darkside mix as promised — find it here. Props to Ken for sharing it, and giving me his blessing to post it here. Enjoy!
Downtempo.com’s very own Ken Wallace dropped a nice little DJ mix on me yesterday. Got a chance to check it out today, and I dug it. KayDub’s got mad DT mixing skillz yo! Its an older mix, circa 2001 I believe. Nice little intro, darker tracks, a little electronic, a little hip-hoppy, all dope tracks. I’ll be posting it to the site soon so y’all can check it out. Nice mix Ken!
As per a request on the Downtempo mailing list, I’ve put up the old background pictures I was using up.
Are you down?
Are you still down?
I haven’t had a chance to add myself to the mix yet, but this is a sweet little linky: http://www.frappr.com/downtempo
Brandon at Properly Chilled was nice enough to post one of my old skool dj mixes which I recorded at the Seattle Aquarium circa 1999
