Sorry for the lack of updates.
I’ve been busy for the summer on tour as part of the Live PA/DJ group The Dark Flow.

The summer has been extremely hectic with up to 5 shows a month.

Highlights included performances at Camp Bisco 9, Summer Sanctuary and Summer Skool.

You can check out everything that has been going on in my musical career over the last few months @

Fly Phishing June 19th

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 10:49:58 +0000

It’s that time of year again. Phish is returning to SPAC in Saratoga Springs for 2 sold-out shows. And we have the after-party to keep it going all night long!

SINsation Sound & Gravity Entertainment Present

“FLY PHISHING”
Our Unofficial Phish After-Party

Featuring…

HIGHER ORGANIX (Great Barrington, MA)
- http://www.myspace.com/higherorganix
- http://www.reverbnation.com/higherorganix
— HiGHER ORGANiX is a power trio hailing from The Shire (Berkshire County, MA). They play an undefinable style that mixes dance rhythms, and electronic experimentation with a jam-rock sensibility and willingness to take it to new places every time. Higher Oragnix’ repertoire includes anything from house, dub, rock, breaks, DnB, ambient, and everywhere in between, Higher Organix does not plan their sets. They completely improvise, sometimes retouching on old themes, or quoting some of their favorite songs in a Dj esque manner. No matter what, you have to see it to believe it. Having already shared the stage with OTT, Marco Benevento, Sub Swara, Psylab, the Breakfast, the Brew and more…. They might be twisting your mind in the near future

APC40 DJ Setup

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 00:27:39 +0000

LIVE DJ SETUP

This is a basic DJ setup for the APC40 and Ableton Live 7.0. It consists of Ableton only effects and requires no VSTs/AUs to run.

I would suggest using some sort of limiter on the master channel. I placed a Compressor on the master but prefer the sound of after-market VSTs personally. I use PSP Vintage Warmer 2 to get a much warmer sound on my master.

Requirements:

live_dj_setup.als : Live 7.0

live_dj_setup_psp_warmer.als : Live 7.0, PSP Vintage Warmer 2

SETUP

3 main DJ Channels

Channel 4 is blank

Channel 5-7 Acapellas,loops and efx

each channel has a “DJ Mixer” rack with following functions

1 – DJM 800 style filter

2 – Super Luper loop Length

3 – Super Luper Nitrous effect

4 – Fade 2 Grey

5 – Bass EQ

6 – Mid EQ

7 – Hi EQ

8 – Gain

-rack consists of the following effects…

1. Utility set to -6db (this allows faders to be used at full volume)

2. EQ 3

3. Fade To Grey

4. Super Luper

5. ALDJM8000

MIDI MAPPED KNOBS/BUTTONS/FADERS

Scene Launch 1-5 = Turn Super Luper on off for channels 1-5

Stop All Clips = removed function so this will no longer stop all cips

Track Control Knobs 1-4 = DMJ800 Filter for Channel 1-3,5

Track Control Knobs 5-8 = Super Luper Length 1-3,5

Rec Arm 1-8 = Track View of Playing Track 1-8

DJ X-Dream
- http://www.myspace.com/xdream
- http://djxdream.podomatic.com/
Recognized as a pioneering force within the glodabl dance community DJ X-Dream has carved a niche for himself as a DJ and producer throughout his illustrious 25 year career.From the moment he put on his first pair of headphones, he knew DJing was for him.

As a driving force behind the groundbreaking techno and break beat label Caffeine Records, DJ X-Dream’s extraordinary ability has led to remix work, collaboration productions and an impressive tour schedule.

During his 7-year tenure, DJ X-Dream has helped propel the label, into hugely successful venture with a permanent place in the rich history of the East Coast dance community. The Caffeine phenominon began on Long Island, NY, as an underground techno club in 1991. DJ X-Dream’s creative force solidified him as an indispensible influence, securing him a DJ spot on four years for the legendary Caffeine Culture Tours while he acted as record label manager for Caffeine Records.

While running the show behind the scenes, DJ X-Dream quickly gained the admiration of Caffeine club goesrs for his impeccable mixing and intuitive girt for rocking dance floors. His crowd-pleasing sets at Caffeine swiftly gave rise to a busy touring schedule. His travels have spanned accross the United States, including stops in Seattle, New Orleans, Orlando, Atlanta, and Houston at such reknowned clubs as Limelight, Tunnel and the Roxy in New York City, Buzz in D.C., and Motion in Philadelphia. DJ X-Dream has spun at such famed events as the Whistle 2 and 3 parties as well as Stuck on Earth Productions BOO 3,4,5,6.
While receiving national recognition, DJ X-Dream continued to support his local dance scene in Long Island by producing weeklies such as Revival, Natural, React and Pure with longtime friend and fellow Caffeine artist DJ Micro.

In June 2002 DJ X-Dream released his first mix compilation titled “Trance Theory” distributed nationally via Topaz records. DJ X-Dream followed up the release of his first mix compilation with “Trance Theory 2″ (June 2003) “Trance Theory 3-D” (June 2004) and “Trance Sessions” (September 2005).

DJ X-Dream continues to be a positive force in the dance music industry. Whether he’s igniting the dance floor behind the decks or inspiring producers and DJ worldwide with his abilities, DJ X-Dream still firmly believes that he’s nowhere near where he wants to be. “I’ve just begun,” he says with a smile. “I’ve still got a lot of work to do.”
