And now for something completely different! This is a recording from a radio show I did last week.  In my segment, “Professor Dan Amitai Explains It All”, I played a tune, and followed it with a famous dance track that sampled that tune.

I discuss artists such as Prodigy, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Kenny Dope and 4hero. Awesome!  Definitely check this out.

This is a mix I recorded for my friend who has been helping the DC–SDS organize anti-war dance parties in the streets of Washington.

A couple of things you should know:
1. Ninety percent of the tracks in this mix were selected by DC-SDS members. I picked a few that I just couldn’t not play (Michael Jackson)

2. I recorded this without practicing bc I am a busy man!

ANYWAY HERE IS THE TRACK LIST Continue Reading »

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 if I had more time (to learn the tracks and to find higher-bitrate samples) I could do a lot better. Anyway, the mix is only on sendspace for now.
