Midsummer Meander

Well, that didn't take long. I filled in a rough draft of this thing in Ableton last night and then mixed it live tonight. Mostly the DJing consists of basic transitioning from track to track, though I did take advantage of the equalizer a bit here and there, isolating the bass or cutting the midrange, what have you. I could imagine really killing it in this fashion on a radio show; it'd be a much easier method than I was employing in 2005 (burning tracks to a pair of discs with notes on how to mix them togeter) and probably a better-sounding one as well.

It's mostly easy-going minimal of various shades and stripes. With thought-provoking album art as usual. Largely stuff released this year, but not necessarily a "best-of" compilation.
