I’m a BIG TIME ReCycle user and use the Dr Rex a lot as it is, this looks like big things for people that work like me. Of course it’s going to take a long time to get used to because that’s just the way I am with new music software but this looks like something I really want.

We’ll wait for the next few days to pass to see if I will spend the $$$ to upgrade to Reason 5 from 4 or just stick with what I currently use and am totally happy with. Propellerheads, what you got?!?!?!?!

I’m playing with Vince at the grand opening of the Escape at the Fugu Lounge. Vince and I are the opening night residents and will be exclusively hosting “THE BACKROOM” monthly going forward. Gavin and Vince, backroom style.

Of course the party is not just for you underground beat freaks, Escape will include more commercially friendly music in the main room every week. So it’s safe for you to bring your friends that don’t quite “get it” just yet. And who knows, they might just venture into the backroom with Vince and I at the helm and get an underground education!!!

Yep, it’s a little early for my annual WMC mix but this is going to have to be it since I will only be working on finishing up new original tracks until after the conference.

I did this last Saturday before heading out to my gig with J Phlip. Hit record and started playing. I wanted to capture a more easily digestible mix for the masses since underground minimal and techno is just not going over well at too many parties in Sacramento. What I came up with was about 2 and a half hours of dancefloor friendly house and techouse, often using my formula of taking a step back after taking two steps forward as if I was playing live at a gig. This is in no way preprogramed or mixed, just throwing down from the depths of the dome, testing out what I thought I might play later that night…

This is only part 1 (I split them up to fit on CDs), part 2 will be uploaded soon…

It’s looking up Sacramento! A long time coming but it’s time for a REVIVAL!!!

]]> http://djvaritech.net/sorry-the-site-isnt-done-sacramento-d/feed/ 3 Please vote for my mix in the new Lets Mix contest sponsored by Beatport and Pioneer!!!! http://djvaritech.net/letsmix_contest_beatport_pioneer_cdj2000/ http://djvaritech.net/letsmix_contest_beatport_pioneer_cdj2000/#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:27:23 +0000 admin http://djvaritech.net/?p=55 Pioneer and Beatport are sponsoring a new contest to find an unknown deejay and show them some love. I decided to submit my Bangin2.0 mix from this Summer rather than make something new as people really seem to like it. 100 lucky winners make the finals and then they have to make something new with a Winter Music Conference theme to it. So if I’m lucky enough I’ll be making a new mix soon enough….

VOTE FOR: Gavin Varitech Presents ‘Bangin2.0′

Yep, it requires you to sign up to vote BUT this is very important. Help me show the world that Sacramento is more than an afterthought in the world of global dance music! It only takes a few minutes and would really mean a lot to me…

Thanks,

Gavin

P.S. I’ll be giving away both of my CDJ800 MK2’s if I win!!!!
