A smooth sentimental mix to end 2009: This Moment - Erik|Michael

It's been both the best of years and the worst of years for myself. I have been through moments like reoccurring lengths of incarceration, trouble with the law and the public in general. from losing people I love and meeting other I loath to the starting of a new job with great opportunities and the wonderful welcoming of my first child, a daughter. For me, change was the only thing that was constant in 2009 and so I can't help but wonder with both excitement and worry what 2010 has in store. With that said, here are a few tracks that were there with me through some of the pivotal moments of this year past. Be careful tonight, people. I hope you all enjoy a safe New Years tonight.

The Flying Skulls: Live at The Arcata Theater

 This mix is my first exposure to this west coast trio The Flying Skulls , and it is absolutely outstanding! I am currently scouring the net for more as we speak. I'm not even sure exactly what this genre/style of music is but I love it. Be sure to check their link and find out more info on the group, I cannot at the moment, as myspace is banned at my office coz some chump was caught spending their entire day playing on the site. If you have anymore info on this group, or want to share other artist like it be sure to comment or email me cause I'm very interested! Daps to Chrome Kids for my Flying Skulls cherry!

Reso - New 1Xtra DJs We Trust Mix

Reso is for sure, one of my all time favorite producers when it comes to Dubstep. For me being so isolated in the hills of VA unexposed it becomes a great treat to hear anything from him. This set here was wonderful, you receive a full spectrum-like experience... Using a full palette of colors so to speak, going from heavy and dark to dubstep to much more atmospheric and abstract sensations and dive back into dense puddle of DnB. A true rollercoaster, and I loved every minute of it. Cheers!

Sorry for the delay, I have been promising these podcasts for some time now, but, the site in which I fashion the rss feed was down and so I could not update the feed itself. Podcast No.12 Will be posted at the end of the week as I would like to watch my stats and guesstimate how many subscribers we have.

Also, I have 3 other mixes planned out and in the making and currently looking for DJ's who would like to contribute guest mixes and lengthen the podcast up a bit, and maybe add interviews and other information as opposed to me just naming out songs in the track list.

If your a DJ or a blogger who would like to contribute hit me up via email and I'll be sure to get back to you ASAP....

Thanks to those who are patient, and loyal.

Erik | Michael: Old Track - OIV_Demo

OIV Demo by erik_michael

A minimal dubstep track with dark tones and reverb. In 2003 I toyed with the idea of producing my own music, I knew nothing then and still don't anything about sound design or production, but I did this track with reason 2.0 on my laptop during a flight from Boston, to Curacao. I might also note that I created this track in 03, and my exposure to dubstep wasn't until november of last year. I am considering getting into production again, and would like comments and suggestions as I think I will start by trying to revamp this piece. Thanks!

Paul says,

“I tried to make this mix different from most of the mixtapes that i receive from people. I tried to not make it about new niche genres, super exclusive mp3s or even themed. I just put together a bunch of songs that i have always liked and that I wanted to share. There’s a bit of everything in here and i tried not to go too over board on the weird dial. Anyways, I like this mix, maybe a bit too many sirens but its 8am and i’m too tired to take them out. Hope you enjoy!”

More EDM related websites...

Ugh Yezzur..
Erik_Michael here,

Just dropn' a little note on old web-find from a Tweett I'm following, Electronic Explorations is a blog site I used to check for unheard and obscure tracks of the EDM underground. I have not been there for quite some time and almost forgot about the site completely when twitter/blogger DUBSTEP posted a link there this morning. I have browsed the most current post and wasn't overly impressed with anything in the first half of the mix. Nothing stood out, however, 16-bit kicks off a mini mix of his own around the 46 min mark.. and yes, I like. 16-Bit starts with some really slow and dark minimal tracks and sets the tone for what could be a really good session. I'm signing off here and gonna try and enjoy the rest of this set... I does hopes you's enjoys it too.

Some Favorite Mixes from 08

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

I thought i would break the typical posting of sets and pin up some of my favorite and influential sets of 08, well, at least for me they were. Do keep a good a ear and an open mind and experience some other flavors of the dance music... This weeks submission includes Mixes from The Crookers, one of my favorite dj/producers at the moment. Annie Mac who is well known for her radio shows and mini-mixes in other european communities. Rusko, who is often to referred to as 'The King' of dubstep. And finally, some classic mini sets from my favorite drum n bass trio, Noisia... sweet sweet bass, vibrations, and beats. More mixes coming soon my friends... requests welcome. hit me, and spread the word.

Blogs And Tracks Of Note:

With work and everything being so crazy I have not had the chance to talk about some of the other things that are influencing my life as of recent, well here's a quick little tid-bit:

Jungle & Drum n Bass: Put This In Your Earhole Blog
Doesn't matter who this chic or guy is, I love everything they post! I am frequent visitor and very much enjoy the consistent and fresh array of mixes they post. Everything from old-school jungle to through the modern works of producers all over the world well mixed and great quality. The 'Ragga-jungle' post has been number one mixset in my headphones since it's download they day they posted it. It's best you check, listen, and culture yourself in the ways of DNB.

Dub-Step: Blackdown Blog
All eyes on London as the new genre Dubstep continues to boil and brew like a bubbling cauldron bout near to expand and pour into the streets changing the face of hip-hop and electronic music as we know it... This style, what I once thought was a sub-genre of dnb is clearly an animal of it's own and the sound is MASSIVE. Where do I go for bits and pieces? I turn to blogger "Blackdown" from the little I know, he's the blogging guru of the genre with more than a fair share of information and musical content on his posts.. A must have in your google reader.
Click Here for the Blackdown Blog

Other Music: Electro Kill Blog
Another cool blog with eclectic tastes spanning several genres, though, mosty electro influenced notes. I have just stumbled onto this blog recently myself and more often then not waste time playing with the interesting little search/tag ball-thingy on the right hand side... How do I get one of those on my blog?!

Anyhow, I thought I would share some of my sources as well as favorite digital places of interest. Do read on and check em out, you might find yourself following them as well! Keep your ears peeled, new mix coming out hopefully tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest. I have also submitted the podcast to iTunes, the podcast is still in the review phase and hopefully will pass and be available for everyone soon!

Love, peace, and beats...
