"Warm Night" Mix for Baby Sabine
April, 2007
My friends Adam and Katy just had a baby girl. Isn't she beautiful!!! I made a mix for her, soft music with a few peaks. There are a number of non-English lyrics, but I figure, she's only 2 weeks old, she doesn't understand any of it anyway. She'll grow up to be multi-lingual.

Sparkle Set - 3am
March, 2007
I had the privilege, once again, of spinning (I try to use that word in the least pretentious way, since I'm really NOT a dj... I just love music. I listen to new music voraciously, and I like to think my tastes are ecclectic and varied. And, bottom line, I'm a musician and a composer. Not really even a performer of any kind.) at a Rhythm Society event. And, for once, all of my planning and selecting of the music I would play actually paid off... the equipment worked, my laptop didn't die, I didn't lose my entire CD collection somewhere between the opening ceremony, 2 hours of psy-trance, and then my set at 3am, and best of all, I didn't make anyone cry.

So, it was fun. And if you want to hear some nice, downtempo, varied and ecclectic chillout music from 3am, here's the set:
