Anyway, you can check out Paxahau’s Movement weekly podcast on Tuesday nights from 7p-9p on Paxahau.com

Here is #6 in my Impromptu series of mixes. This one is going to require a bit of a story, though. About a year and a half ago, I had my basement waterproofed, but the company did a crappy job and didn’t cover up my stuff in the basement when they jackhammered through some concrete. Resulting in a ton of cement dust on top of my record collection as well as everything else in the basement. To make a long story short, they need to come back and do more work, so I’ve been slowly but surely digging out the records and cleaning them off to make them playable.
This mix is from a handful of records I was going through one evening in late August and decided to make a mix with them. I strayed from the deep dubby stuff for this one as well. It’s a little scatter brained, I think, but I was able to dig up some old favorites of mine.
It should also be mentioned that this mix was done using 100% vinyl. I did switch to Serato a couple years ago, but I did this one using nothing but the wax I pulled out from the archives.
So, here’s the mix. Tracklist below
Craig Gonzalez - Impromptu Mix 6 “Dusty Sleeves”
I:Cube - Poo Pah (Herbert Fibre Remix)
Steve Tang - Visions Far Away
Gamat 3000 - Gentleness
Peak:Shift - Disinter
Ian Pooley - The Brickenkopf At 7AM

Circulation - Scarlett
Isolee - Beau Mot Plage
Roman IV - Altes Testament
Curious - Sun, Sun, Sun Instrumental
Gusto - Headbanger
Hot Lizard - The Theme (Live from SF Remix)
Ian Pooley - What’s your number

I finally got around to converting my Impromptu Mix #4 to MP3 last night as well as making and uploading Impromptu Mix #5.
Impromptu Mix #4 - Hip Hop Instrumentals
Mix #4 in the series is basically me playing some of my favorite hip hop instrumentals. I actually made it a couple months ago, but didn’t get around to upload it until just now. To make things clear, I am not a “hip hop DJ” by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like to buy it and I used to play a lot of these cuts among all kinds of other music out when doing gigs at places like the Buddha Lounge with Michael Geiger. I don’t scratch and I just try to mix them like I normally would with electronic music. It was actually a learning experience once I went back and listened to it, though.

Impromptu Mix #5 - More of the Deep
I made Mix #5 last night. It contains more of the deep dubby stuff like previous mixes. However, this time I didn’t stay strictly in the dubby side of things, but tried to play some other kinds of records as well. Especially the last two tracks in which I’ve always wanted to put on a mix, but never got around to it until now.

Here’s my mix from Bandwidth on March 21st. It’s got a bunch of dubby/laid back jams on it. I’ll admit it’s not the best mix, but it has it’s moments.
Craig Gonzalez - Live at Bandwidth 03.21.08
I also have Impromptu Mix 4 down the pipe as well. I made a mix of all hip hop instrumentals a few weeks back, but haven’t had the chance to edit the volume level of it yet.

Here’s a new impromptu mix that I recorded last night. This one is a lot like the last one with the dubby, droning techno, but hey, that’s the kind of stuff I really enjoy playing. It’s a lot of fun to me and I don’t quite understand why more DJ’s play this kind of stuff.
Anyway, this is a pretty no frills kind of mix. I let the tracks play as long as I could while giving myself enough time to get in and out of the tracks properly. No effects were used or external processor. This was done on a pair of Technics, a Vestax PMC-50, and Serato since I did turn to the dark side about a year ago.

I was hanging out at the house on Friday night listening to records while having a couple cold guys when I decided to record another impromptu mix. So, i did. Obviously, it’s not a technical masterpiece and it basically is what it is, but I think it has some good dub/minimal techno that you can just pop in the CD player and let play for awhile.
So, check it out if you wish..
