Burning Man

It's Burning Man time and unfortunately Coda is not making a return visit to the Playa this year. After almost not going this year Sharon and I got off the fence and decided to go. Better late than never. I've got a few gigs lined up. In true Burning Man style the time slots are a little vague. Below is all the information I currently have. Track me or the camp hosting the party down to get more details. Hopefully see a bunch of you out there.

8/26 Tuesday - Garage Mahal Bus
DJ slot - Unknown (sometime after sun down)
Location: 9:45 & Dart - bus leaves ~9pm from their camp. Otherwise find it out on the playa.

8/27 Wednesday - Phamily Gathering
DJ Slot - Midnight - 1am (party is 6pm - 3am)
Location: 9:30 & Fairlane

8/28 Thursday - Shagadelica Bus (bright fuzzy glowing double decker bus)

New Mix

My Definition of Chill - Vol. I
Deckard Chill CD - Helvetica_400

Summer is here and the time is right for... chillin' with my new mix. Decidedly non-club oriented. Some of these songs I've collected over the years and keep coming back to. Not to denigrate other downtempo mixes, but I can only listen to Kruder & Dorfmeister so many times before it's time for something different. So I made this mix for me, but I hope you enjoy it too.

The finished product is nearly 2 hours mixed with songs ranging from Brian Eno to LCD Soundsystem, Royksopp and Boards of Canada. It begins and ends without beats, but in between you will find some of my favorite downtempo and progressive tunes for those times when you're ready to kick back.
