Hexstatic release a mix a day for a month

Hexstatic release a mix a day for a month… so thats 30 mixes! Too good to be true? Apparently not, grab them all HERE via Robin’s Mixcloud page.

Here’s the first 2, i’ll try and keep up and embed them all

Hexstatic – 42Mix by Robin Hexstatic on Mixcloud

Blankets at the ready, this mix features several snippets of dialogue from the radio version of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Hexstatic – 333Mix by Robin Hexstatic on Mixcloud

A recording from the infamous ‘All Night Schlong’ nights at the 333 Club, London,..run by our good friend Neil Boorman aka the original ‘Shoreditch Twat’. He invited people to take over a floor of the club for the whole night. Sometimes we played for 6 hours straight, sometimes invited guests. Neil wasn’t too impressed when he found our friend Laura playing her first ever DJ set while we got wasted in the VIP room upstairs, but thats how it went. A brilliantly curious mixture of people just up for a party. It was always very, very, very messy. This half hour is the only recording.

Hexstatic – BreezeblockMix by Robin Hexstatic on Mixcloud

A mix recorded for Mary Anne Hobbs Breezeblock show on BBC Radio One sometime in 2000,..I think? Again, some repeats, notably the Unsung Heroes track which features in about 3 mixes including the Solid Steel CD.

Useless fact: I’ve never met Mary Anne Hobbs.

First glimpse at some of the tech set up for the new AV show

First glimpse at some of the set up for the new AV show. 2x Serato Scratch Live set ups, one of which runs through a modified QFO. There are also multiple cameras mixed via a Roland vision mixer, customised OSC layouts on iPad and iPhone and more… all being tested and tweaked at the moment.

2013 set up with V4EX

siPad is getting remixed again…

Every time i do a show or rehearse AV routines i consider how i can improve my main OSC layout. What features do i actually use? What needs to be clearer and larger? What buttons/faders should i group together?

Im still changing it all the time but here’s the current version… (Click image to enlarge)

Danny Byrd ‘Red Mist’ (DJ Cheeba re-edit)

Quick re-edit of Danny Byrd’s ‘Red Mist’ from the LP ‘Super Sized’ out on Hospital Records. The lyrics screamed Scanners and the head popping bit to me so i made a build up to sit better with that. Sent it to Danny and he suggested i upload it, so here it is! Enjoy… be warned, a head does erupt.
