Ua Mixes

My newest project is that I’ll have a radio show that’s broadcast over the Internet from the KAMP Studio here in Tucson, Arizona. Listen in at kamp.arizona.edu and look for the player on the top right side of the page. You can also find the KAMP mobile app on Android and iPhone, or use TuneIn and search for “KAMP” as a show. 

My show, called House Party, will start at 10 pm US Mountain time. For all my fans around the world in different time zones, please double check the conversion to your local time zone so you don’t miss me! I’ll be spinning all the massive house tunes you’ve come to love in the Black Label Session series of mixes. 

This is the biggest project I’ve ever taken on and I’m really excited for all the new opportunities it brings. I had to train with an existing DJ and pass a qualifying exam and it’s really cool to see the inner workings of a terrestrial radio station. 

If you have any shout outs, post them on my Facebook page at facebook.com/uamixes or tweet me, @uamixes, and I’ll try to read as many as I can on-air. 

Thank you so much for sticking with me and I hope you enjoy my first radio show!

• Over 50 hours of pre-mixing went into the production of this mix. Most of the work involved shaping the tracks I want to use into the “flow” of the mix. 
• There are a total of 37 tracks in the mix. 
• The order of the tracks changed at least 3 times before I settled on the final version heard in the mix. 
• Keen listeners will say that “Sending My Love” was released in 2011. This is true; however, the version I used was the R3hab bootleg (“Sending My Love” vs. “The Edge”) from his EDC pack. It was a great choice to capture “The Edge,” a big tune from last year, and some EDC memories in one track. 
• The cycle for Blue Label tracks runs from December to December. Anything released in December or possibly even late November, depending on my time constraints, will be skipped for the current year’s Blue Label mix and considered for next year’s mix. One example from 2012 is Alesso’s “Clash,” released December 10th.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments!

There won’t be a Black Label Sessions coming up - the release at the end of each year always lines up with my Blue Label yearmix so it gets shuffled into that. I’d like to do another hip hop / rap mix as that’s been getting a lot of traction and plays. If there’s time between finals, projects, and holiday travels, I might get in another Sensual mix. 

Anything you want to hear? 

I’ll be mixing Black Label Sessions 13 live tonight on Mixify. Same as last time: free to listen, free to sign up so you can chat with me and other listeners. 7p US Pacific time. See you there!

When talking to the press, I’m often asked how Electronic Dance Music (EDM) sprang up out of nowhere?! These guys. These journalists who make their Santa Claus sparkly eyes, enthusiastic and curious as to how EDM could just pop onto the music scene, *poof* and then dominate festivals, nightclubs,…

It’s planned for Monday, September 17th at 7pm Pacific time. I’ll have more details coming in the next few days. 

I hope everyone can join!

I’m looking at the calendar, and cannot believe that the seasons are changing. Summer is close, but behind us, and Autumn is threatening to be here. It makes me wonder if everything actually happened? It’s only this past week that I’ve had the time to actually reflect on everything that…
