Finally... Rylectro Winter Thaw Remix

Sorry it took me so long to upload this. I finished it before we took off to Miami for WMC 2010, but have slacked on getting it uploaded and posting it for you all to enjoy. If you're in the Bay area, or I like you (A LOT), I have cd's created with the tracks split. I am also including the track list here in case there is a song you just have to grab the info for.

Thanks for listening!

Great Analogy... Read this in a book about the history of DJ'ing

The Audience
Some are ravers—high schoolers, college students. Some are what society calls young professionals,in their 20s and 30s, with 9-to-5 jobs. Some are young, but not so professional aspiring artists, actors, athletes, musicians, DJs, or writers, making ends meet at a day job somewhere so they can pursue their passion in between, on the side.

What brings them together is they like to go out at night, move to good music, have a good time in a room, club, warehouse, or field with a bunch of other people having a good time. Maybe they go to the club to get lost (or found) in the music, to forget their other life. Maybe they go to celebrate: a new job, new love, new friends, the weekend, coming of age. Some say they go to capture that sense of community, of shared ecstasy.

Point is: they go. They dance. They listen. They get lost for a while on the dance floor. They take part in an ancient, time-honored ritual—dance—for all the reasons humanity has ever danced.

It’s tribal. It’s cultural. It’s communal. It’s spiritual. It’s about transcendence, transformation, transfixion. It’s about release. To some, it’s about PLUR: peace, love, unity, and respect. To some, it’s about passion, play, sex,mating, and fun. It’s about them—the audience and their self-expression through dance. It always has been.
