Funk the War 2 mix Thursday, February 14th, 2008	So last night, after Beyond, I went to Five, and then around midnight I got an MP3 CDs to mix for an anti-war protest this Friday. I spent about 10 minutes reviewing the tracks, and then I pressed record. This is now the “official soundtrack” which is kind of weird. I think […] Read the rest of this entry »

Winter Goth Mix Tuesday, December 25th, 2007	As some of you know, I’ve been a regular guest at Club Five’s Arcadia — a weekly “alternative” night that features “industrial, gothic, synthpop, ebm, indie, electro, 80’s, britpop”. I don’t tend to fit in too well there. There are a few reasons why. For one, even though I used to listen to […] Amitai - Goth 12-25-07 [55:33m]: Play in Popup \| Download Read the rest of this entry »
Mix: 60m Wednesday, December 19th, 2007	This mix is a full hour long! Yikes! This one’s a little hard to swallow because I tried to throw all my ideas in one mix, so you have five-minute pockets of great shit in a sea of juxtaposed nonsense. Also I just upgraded to the latest Serato with auto-loop, and those of […] Amitai - 60m [60:01m]: Play in Popup \| Download Read the rest of this entry »
