Vapor Funk Continues!

Clearly we haven't been doing a very good job of keeping the blog updated. We had thought that we weren't going to be doing a show this season. The plan was to switch over to focusing on keeping the podcast going. But, fortunately, they've found a spot for us on the air this season. We're alternating Thursdays 4-5:30 with a show called Droppin Knowledge. Check out our show in a couple hours. You can listen to it live from anywhere in the world online. If you don't get a chance to listen this afternoon, you can stream archives from WMBR's website. Also, we will try to keep this blog updated this season.

Vapor Funks 10/22/09 and 10/29/09

Thirsty Ear Gig Tomorrow

Tomorrow night (Friday 10/16) Rhythmic and I will be mixing electronic music at The Thirsty Ear Pub in Cambridge, MA. If you're in the area and looking for something to do, stop on by. You don't have to be affiliated with MIT to get in, even though its in an MIT dorm. Just go through the front lobby of Ashdown House and if the deskworker asks, say you're going to the Thirsty. Cheap beer/wine and good music. What more could you ask for? The music should get going around 9pm and last until closing.

As an example of what we might play, here's my mix from last night's Vapor Funk

Vapor Funk 7/2/09

Finally getting some of the sets from earlier this summer up. Concord Dawn was playing at Elements this week (sick show by the way). Since we didn't want to miss the show, we decided to pre-record our show this week. In deciding to do this I realized one of the drawbacks of Traktor Duo as opposed to Traktor Pro: the recording capability is disabled in Traktor Duo. So, I improvised a funky routing situation with my audio interface and recorded the output of Traktor Duo with Ableton Live. A little roundabout, but the system worked reasonably well. I didn't have time to set the levels properly, so there is a bit of clipping in my set. It was a fun set though, with some of my favorite Concord Dawn tracks along with several similarly heavy tracks by other producers. Rhythmic put together a sick set of smooth soulful drum and bass that contrasted nicely with my set.

Tracklist:

1. Concord Dawn - Raining Blood
2. Zardonic and Peter Kurten - Alerte Rouge
