Cosmic Pulse Guest Mix

 Not the usual tunes for the Cosmic Pulse Dance Cast, but I'd like to introduce a guest DJ for this update. DJ Dev, PA is an aspiring DJ who dabbles with house, hip-hop, and the occasional trance track. Inspired by my recent trip to Ultrafest, he decided to put this mix together, and it ain't that bad at all!

Stay tuned for the April edition of Cosmic Pulse, which will be the beginning of my new episode format. This format will consist of either a two hour trance mix (of course highlighting the newest tracks), or an hour of trance and an hour of electro / house. I figured there was just too much good music coming out each month to limit each episode to an hour.

Tuesday March 27th

Back from Miami, and all I have to say is "woah!" This was an awe inspiring weekend filled with amazing music, great friends, and warm sunny weather. Each DJ was great in their own way, and special acknowledgement goes out to DJ Shadow, New Order, and Kraftwerk. DJ Shadow, who never played Miami before, and who I haven't seen in years is still just as amazing and laid down a performance set that many artists these days are simply incapable of doing.

Here's a little video of the footage I took with my phone, it doesn't show nearly as much as we experienced but figured I'd share. Enjoy!

Cosmic Pulse Episode 4

Another filler mix while we wait for next months new one. This is a tribute mix I made a while back for DJ Kristoff when I heard that he was going to retire. Its a two hour set full of my personal favorites as well as many of my favorites of his.

Cosmic Pulse Episode 3

I guess it was less of a wait than I expected. Had some free time and hooked up my mix for the reddit - trance contest. Definitely getting my stride back, mixing smoother than I was earlier this year when I decided to get back into it. Still not where I want to be, but on my way at least.

You can listen via the embeded mixcloud player, directely download, or subscribe to the podcast. I'd suggest doing it through iTunes found on the link over yonder ---->

Right now planning on waiting till April for the next episode. Got some busy stuff coming up over the next few weeks, including a trip to Miami for Ultrafest, but that'll mean the April episode will full of crazy new tracks. Between now and then I'll likely post an old mix of mine, or possibly a special guest DJ. Till then, enjoy!

Cosmic Pulse Episode 2

Episode 2

Just checking to see how things are running. No new material yet, but I'm working on a mix for a mix contest hosted by reddit in the trance sub-reddit. Here in episode 2 we have an old mix from back in my vinyl record days circa 2003 when I was known as DJ Dex. The mix was entitled "happiness in hell," I did the mix so long ago that I don't know the full tracklist off the top of my head and would have to dig through my vinyl which isn't in the same state as me right now. It includes many classic tracks from the late 90's and early 00's. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for episode 3 which should be up by the end of the weekend.

In other news, had the chance to catch Gabriel & Dresden this past Friday at Pacha in NYC. Great show! They played for almost three hours which for the ticket price (25 bucks) was a crazy deal. Their set was similar to the one played at Electric Zoo 2011, but was still a great time and a great precursor to the upcoming Ultrafest.

Cosmic Pulse Episode 1

Hello and welcome to the Cosmic Pulse Dance Cast!
This is episode 1 of what I hope to continue as a monthly series showcasing the latest in electronic dance music.  This first episode is composed of mostly trance with a few electro tracks mixed in towards the end. Between monthly episodes I will likely be posting updates on DJ's, events, and new tracks of note from some of the best DJ's and producers around. Feel free to add questions, comments, complaints, whatever you like.

Enjoy episode 1 of the Cosmic Pulse!
