mixing and improvising

To me windows is good for two things: games, and music software. Unfortunately there aren't as many programs as I would like for linux with the same capabilities that many windows programs have. It's good to know that more and more people are turning heads to open source apps, and OS, but we aren't there yet. Still there's a larger path to be walked in this matter.

Virtual DJ was one of the first virtual consoles I tried. I remember using versions 1.8 and 2.x,

Back in those days when I was more into mixing than music production I did this track, using a jazz track I found in a collection I had... but anyways leave you with this.

I used to put songs (a.k.a. dj) for a spanish online radio station, my music space (which consisted in a 2 hours playlist) was called El taladro electrónico, which means The electronic drill, and I played a lot my favorite electronic musicians.

Aphex twin

Venetian snares

Squarepusher (the link is to an interview back in 96, this is the link for his "official site", I just want to say that this new squarepusher is far from being what he was)

Amon Tobin (being my favorite the Cujo project)

Muziq

Black Sun Empire

The prodigy

Sometimes I would include anime soundtracks, like Ghost in the shell SA, Cyberia (from Lain), Metal Gear Solid RED disc, Music for Freelance (Cowboy Bebop), and many others.

This is one of the tracks I made mixing and making samples in Virtual DJ to use as background music when I was speaking.
