So this week's set didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. An hour before my set was scheduled I got hit by the iOS8/iTunes 12 syncing bug, which necessitated a complete nuking of my library. To even get tracks on to my iPad, I needed to do a full restore. Which of course also meant deleting any built up metadata: key, tempo and cue-point information. I ended up getting my music synced over, but none of that useful metadata. So for this one I had to lean back on my non-digital DJ skills. It's a bit rougher in some of the transitions that I'd normally like (especially some bad key changes), but for a flying by the seat of my pants sets I'm overall happy. It's got some orthodox programming, starting off with my favourite Beatles remix of all time, moving on to a good chunk of classic hip hop, some mashups and ending up at tropical house. Once I relaxed from my initial panic I had a lot of fun with this. Hope you do to.
