Boogie Buttons Winter 2015

I was feeling inspired to make a new mix today, so I did! This one's a little more uptempo than some of my recent ones. Anywho, enjoy:

January Tune Scoop 2015

So I've been doing this thing lately where I like to put my entire iTunes collection on shuffle and just see what happens. Then, I'll make a playlist of faves that come up and save them as "cool things I heard this month"-style archives. I've been having so much fun doing this (the breadth and wealth of music buried deep in my library, some of which would never make it to my ears without the shuffle function, regularly boggles my mind) that I thought it would be fun to start doing an occasional mix series, which I'll call my "tune scoops" for any given period of time.

And so, I present the first such mix, my January Tune Scoop 2015. I'll plan on doing more of these as the mood strikes me. This one has got some jazz, folk and other good things. Hope you like it =)

Boogie Buttons Summer 2014 Mix

So it was quite the fun summer in the Maritimes this year, not least because of all the music festivals, and the joy of playing at them. Here's a short mix of some of my favourite tunes I played this season:

Two New Mixes

So here are two new, very different mixes I just made.

The first - "No Pants" - is the kind of mixtape I used to make back in the day, first on cassettes and later on CDs. It's a break from the usual bassy/clubby music I usually bother to put into mixes these days, and is pretty fun to listen to: basically just a bunch of tunes strung together back to back, covering a whole whack of styles, from Hip-Hop to Metal to Punk to Electronic and more. Listen and download here:

The second - "Auditory Cheesecake Volume 3" or "Fancy Pants" is the sort of mix I've been meaning to make for a long time but haven't gotten around to until now. It's a more serious-sounding collage of experimental electronica, classical music and other things designed to take you on a bit of a head trip. Some friends may remember Auditory Cheesecake Volume 2., a mix CD I made years ago and burned dozens of copies of... that one was a bit of a hit, I remember... maybe this one will be too? Enjoy:

The good folks over at HIGH ON BEATS did a little write-up for my recent mix, which was nice of them. You can read the words here.

Here's a mix I recorded recently - have a listen and/or a download if you like. Gonna make a Volume 2 sometime soon.

Dubstep.Fm Mix up on Soundcloud

On Tuesday (Feb. 5th 2013) I had the pleasure of doing a guest DJ set on Construct's radio show on Dubstep.fm. It was fun to play a genre of music that I've been playing a lot less of lately, but which was also one of my first DJ loves...

Here it is:



Edit: I took this mix down from Soundcloud to create space for some new stuff. It's archived at Mixcloud still though: http://www.mixcloud.com/vipond/live-on-dubstepfm-feb-5th-2013/

New DJ Mix for Summer 2012

Here's a new mix I recorded, with my ears fresh back from the BassCoast festival in BC. Lots of genres squeezed in there, but I think it makes sense ;)

Stick it on your iPod, have a little dance party, or do whatever it is that you do. Leave a comment on Soundcloud, too, if you do that kind of thing.
