Now that all R-evolution sets are on-line I have a small service announcement:
Starting with tomorrow's weekly :BEATNATION: mix I'm changing a few things in the background.
I'll still be playing the best new releases each week, but to shake things up I set up some ground rules for myself.
I created 3 folders ('Newest', 'Recent', 'Older').
Tracks from 'Newest' will move to 'Recent' when they've been played - these are tracks that are just released, sometimes several from a new album which get played over a few weeks.
Tracks in 'Recent' will move to a folder 'timeout1' when I've played them. The next week all tracks in 'timeout1' move to 'timeout2'. So for 2 weeks these tracks won't feature. The week after they're available again for me to spin.
Tracks in the 'Older' category will follow a similar process if they're fairly recent (last few years). If they're older they'll be deleted and replaced with others from my collection.
Of course if I find a track doesn't work at all for me when I'm mixing or re-listening (it happens) they'll get deleted no matter what folder they're in 😅
My aim here is to be more dynamic with what I play apart from the newest releases. A track can only be in successive mixes if it's just been released.
This won't be directly noticeable in this week's mix, but I've already moved the tracks in there to their new folders, so next week's mix should already reflect these changes!
If anyone has any feedback on this idea - feel free to comment!

And here's the closing set for R-evolution Halloween! Got a few newer tracks in again and some less obvious ones. Special props to the people enjoying the Chem track a lot - dancing to it and checking out what it was :) Made my night

The final set meant looking for a mix of keeping myself happy with some newer music and the remaining partygoers happy with music I knew they'd enjoy. I was getting pretty tired by the end of this one but still pretty happy with the balance I struck. More requests in this than any of the other sets....

R-evolution Halloween Set 3 has also come on-line. from 2-3am so I don't think I left the hits folder for this one. I swear I haven't played this many hits in 15 years 🤣 Tomorrow set 4 comes on-line with some newer stuff as well. Still tried to have some diversity in what I played here and the crowd seemed happy with it! Special Mention to that awesome remix Matt from Organ Donors did of Rob Zombie's Dragula which probably got the stompiest dancefloor of the night!

the third slot meant more hits, so anyone looking for a healthy dose of classics look no further. Not what I usually do, but it was what was needed for the night. Still managed to get a few unexpected licks in by the reactions from the crowd with the Dragula remix proving especially popular.

Here's the midnight to 1am set at R-evolution Halloween. People were looking for comfort music and I needed to deliver. Still tried to keep things varied and sneak in a few newer tracks, all of which went down very well luckily. Oh and anyone wondering, yes these are the live recordings from Friday night!

The Audience was craving hits by midnight so I guess it wasn't up to me to deny them. I haven't played as many as this in something like 15 years though. But if that's what the night demands sometimes you give in. Still snuck a few recent favourites in especially by the end of the set that went down...

The opening set for the Halloween edition of R-evolution is on-line now. 10-11 so mostly doing what I wanted. About halfway through I started seeing the first dancing. Set 2 will go on-line tomorrow, with 3 and 4 following saturday and sunday

Opening set for the Halloween edition of R-evolution. Not too many people there so I just had some fun with this. By the end started aiming for the dancefloor and finished with the Ginger Snap5 track so I could shake my legs a bit too!

It's not because I had a great time at R-evolution (sets coming on-line soon) that I'm not going to do one of my weekly sets! over 30 new tracks in a 60 track set! Halloween week is release central!

Because it's been a hot minute: track focus time! This one from one of the nicest people making music - Paul Batchelor. First met him as guitarist for the mighty Ultraviolence, but since learned to appreciate his own music with ctrl alt del and Bitman. This one surpasses those easily for me, bringing a mature, dark, poppy electronic sound that just works so very well!

I focused squarely on recent music for this week's mix, simply because I was in that kind of mood. And because I'm working on a new way to categorise my music for more versatility when making these. New music by Après La Nuit (Mark Loodewijk remix), Assemblage 23, Athamay (Ghosting mix), Causenatio...
