Mathsmix20150212

Artist: DJ Noggin
Title: Mathsmix20150212 (Full mix)
Album: Full Mixes
Date: 2015
Part 1

The funny thing about this mix is that I started trying to figure out a formula I could use to quickly resample songs so they would mix together, because I wanted to make mixes fast, programmatically. I sort of started guessing (educated guesses you could say) what the formula would look like, and actually got pretty close on the first go…though I was able to refine the formula to make it more universal.

Anyway so I made this mix in Audacity using some new flacs I had ripped from vinyl and my newly discovered formula for beatmatching.

A week later Audacity released a new version that included the ability to do this formula built-in. I thought that was pretty cool.

This mix includes hits from, but not limited to:
Dub Taylor
James Blake (thanks Kyle)
The Rip-Off Artist
Heiroglyphic Being
etc, etc…

Part 2

This is my last solo Groovesday for a while. We keep it all over the place just trying to push every button I can before I step out that door down that old dusty. The AC is broken in the station so this is literally the sweatiest show I’ve ever done as well – wonder if that comes through to yall?
Gets rolling on the jungle tip then cruises into familiar four to floor and finally all-bets-off territory. Even hit that requested Euro flavor.

Show this morning includes poetry mixed with snooze button sounds, some more live (even requested) performance, and some fairly epic, long-playing tracks.
This is the last Morning Groove I will do at the KEOS Bell Studios. Its been a blast bringing yall the jams so early in the morning. Really what I consider church, and the best way to start a weekend I could ever think of – get up before everybody else and start getting those fingers dirty spinning wax.
Had some nice company for much of the show and so all props to Greg and Chuck. Chuck especially as he sort of took on the roll of resident kolache technician.
So much thanks to Jason for making the trip so regularly and sharing his incredible taste in choice vinyl with the Brazos Valley.
Much love to Branton and all the folk at the Aggieland Humane Society for everything they do, and their devotion to getting the word out about their organisation and what they do to help.
Props to everyone who listened regularly, sporadically, or caught the archives later on.
So so so much love to those who called in just to say what up and/or make a request.
Sincerely, thank yall for listening.

Boards of Canada
Here We Go Magic
Joy Division
Getz / Gilberto

You could consider this kind of a ‘best of’ kkic show, as I’m not sure when I’ll do another one.
Lots of good requests, tons of love, a live rendition of Townes, and a solemn prayer for those on the road.
Thank yall for listening.

For this very special edition of Groovesday / Groovesday presents, we take you on a trip to Paris and around the world, visiting the many sides of Daft Punk, etc. The new album dropped today, so what better timing to focus the lens on some artists who have had such a huge impact on our lives. I think I speak for Dag-Nab-It as well when I say, Homework was what made me fall in love with house music.

Another mildly mellow show, even though we do manage to drop in some newish Wayne Hancock that keeps us going with a bit of diesel in our veins. Also more vocal stuff, even if we do start out instrumentally sedated. I hope yall realise how this is my church.
Oh yea and bust out those samplers on the Mel Tillis track.

Dag-Nab-It helps me pull off maybe the best episode of Groovesday ever. Hot off the heels of Austin Psych Fest, the only inspiration we had was ‘psychedelic’. We just took that and ran with it.
What makes the show great though, as always, is the feedback loop. We had people listening all over Texas (at least) and sending love our way frequently, which just spurs us on to be better.
I hope yall enjoy this show and we sincerely thank yall for spending the time with us.
