Introduction to Electronic Music Show 359.
To give you a bit of insight on my weekly selection procedure for this electronic music show. I started out with 130 tracks in my pre-selection that i liked when first hearing them. I download these tracks to my computer and start curating the EP’s and albums these tracks are on from a more critical point of view..
In this part of the music selecting process i end up deleting many of the tracks that i don’t feel or find useful for Dirty Disco. And so i ended up with still 98 beautiful tracks that i would like to incorporate in the electronic music show somehow. Clearly not all of these tracks make it to the final selection but at least i have some room for playing with vibes and harmonies.
I add the final selection of tracks to my Rekordbox library and let it analyze them so i have a better understanding of the BPM (Beats Per Minute) and so on. In this created playlist i do one more final selection with tracks that i feel i must play en these end up in another final playlist. These tracks than get mixed into this weeks electronic music show. While this is not the full procedure of making a show, there is a lot more going on for example the administration and so on. But last but not least i add the presentation and guide you through the new releases.
Music highlights from this week.
Among the EP’s and albums that i curate are always a lot of promo releases from all over the world. Well established names and unknown talent. In this the selection for this show there are:
* 23 new tracks* 12 free downloads (I’m only playing you two of them)* 10 tracks are pressed on vinyl next to being available as digital formats.* 8 tracks are on the time of recording this music show forthcoming music promo’s.* There are 2 albums listed.
Every week i randomly pick a few EP and or album releases from the full selection to feature and highlight them here on the blog. First to give you a better understanding of what’s going on. Which music is being played and where to get it? Next, this way i can promote the music labels and artists that i play.
Featured highlights and music reviews.
Check out a few of the highlights from this electronic music show that made it to the essential mix selection in Dirty Disco 359.
Simon Hinter – Tired Up | Freerange Records.
I love the Freerange Record label and play their music occasionally but this is the first time i heard from this producer Simon Hinter. It appears to be that he is been making music for more than a decade releasing a handful of EP’s. Nevertheless i’m glad that i found him and his music as i really like the tracks on his Tired Up EP.
I ended up selecting and playing two of the tracks from the four brilliant tracks that are on this release. All are dancefloor ready and give a good perspective on his skills in creating diverse music. You’ll find me playing the tracks ‘Looking Back’ and Heaven & Hell.
Tired Up came out on 22-5-20 on Freerange Records.
Blaqkongo – 38 Ways, 38 Days | Odd One In.
Another producer i have never heard about until now. I’m happy Blaqkongo reached out to me and sended me his music as i immediately felt it. Great quality that easy goes among the other names i’m playing you in this weeks selection like Felipe Gordon...
