Dj Polaski - Midnight Aboretum (part 1)

Would like to introduce my third published kahvi mix featuring the artists at kahvi titled "Midnight Arboretum". If you dont know me outside of the podcast I've started mixing for kahvi about a year ago doing full CD length albums to be featured on their site. 4T (nik/choogy) saw great potential and offered me a spot on board. The podcasts featured before were crafted by me and I had alot of fun doing them, but now its time to show you a little bit of the my talent as a mixer when it comes to the full length stuff. Midnight Arboretum clashes with classic sounding techno-beats and soft ethreal tracks to provide a nice clean album. Featured this week will be part 1 of the mix. Part 2 will come next week and the full download of the mix will be featured then.

Remember, all the tracks you hear can be downloaded full length @ http://kahvi.org.

I'll provide a tracklist later!

Donation Request

If you've been reading you know that I have some bad news. Awhile ago, my computer blew and all of its contents (excluding one harddrive) literally went up in flames. So I'm making a huge effort to build a new computer. This donation drive is STRICLY for that cause, and that cause ONLY. All the money that I put forth towards developing mixes and mashups and buying tracks, equipment and sound editing programs come out of my own pocket. So if you like what you hear, feel free to donate. Here's how:

Paypal is completing confidential, when you make a donation, no matter where you are, I don't see any of the credit card or money order information, just a name and an e-mail. You don't even need a paypal account. You can location the "pay without an account using a credit card" to the bottem left. Plus if you make a donation, I'll let you into a little area where you can download unreleased kahvi mixes at any desirable codec including .WAV and .FLAC(I have 5 of them!)

My ultimate goal is $160. The purpose of the $160 is to buy a new computer sound system which boasts some great sound quality with a bunch of sound input and outputs including midi, optical, digital, RCA and a host of others. This will help me to develop new kinds of mixing techniques as wel as opening up a studio for a free friends of mine to officially make releases.

General Fuzz and Dj Polaski collaborate to make: Fusion

So if you've been keeping up lately on my recent release you'll know that I've been working with General Fuzz to make a collaborative continuous mix. Well it's finally up and ready to go! I'm proud to release Fusion. You'll enjoy this Electronic Jazz pieces with nice flowing grooves.

I'll upload the tracklist later:

3 Mixes coming out soon...

So now is the time that I would like to announce the coming of three new mixes for everyone's pleasure.

1) A special new mix/album using tracks from one of my favorite IDM artists: General Fuzz

2) Brand Spankin' new Vibrations Vol. 7 Mix which will be released after it hits DI.FM radio

3) An old, unreleased LIVE mix, Tranceaction Vol. 8.

The first mix, between me and General Fuzz, has been a month long collaboration in developing a mix album featuring all general fuzz albums. If you liked the Searching for Planets kahvi mix, then you'll like this one.

The second mix, Vibrations volume 7, is a brand spankin' new trance mix I've conjured up over this last week. The mix features all new Trance tracks and remixes released just within the last week or so (two tracks released within the last two months). The mix has been sent into DI.FM and should be seeing another post shortly about the time/date it will be airing on the Trance channel.

The third and final mix is Tranceaction Vol. 8. For those who don't know the Tranceaction series, they were my first series when I just started mixing. Vol. 8 features live mixing via turntables and actually was unreleased because I was too busy to release it! It features some unheard tracks that were released about a year ago that still haven't hit mainstream yet, but are still Trance to the core.

While I haven't released any of the mixes yet, keep reading, each mix will be released at different times and will have its own individual post, so keep an eye out and RSS this blog.

News mixes, with some bad news later

Well, I've finally put some finishing touches on three new mixed albums. One featuring a highly favored artist, General Fuzz and two kahvi mixes (one done awhile back, but just touching up some finer points of the mix). While you most likely will not see these things on the internet for the next two months, I have plans on getting in-touch with Mr. Mendia (the guy i mentioned from monographic) to help me out with generating some interest. I'd also like to get my hands on his track database and do some mixes. While I will stay close to kahvi, I think doing album mixes across the full spectrum of netlabels will be very interesting, and having monographic's name to it will help alot. The trick will be identifying netlabels and actually getting quality tracks to mix. However, with the rising number of netlabels on the net and the amount of releases they do a month, I could about a mix per month.

I also have some bad news (involves exploding equipment and loss of data). I'll inform you guys on my next post.
