When I hop on the decks, I generally have one of two types of sessions.  Sets when I know I’m recording I’ll tend to be more even keeled about my mixes.  I focus on the cleanliness of my mixing techniques.  I play mostly songs that I’m at least passively familiar with if not intimately with.  Sets when I’m just practicing, my technique gets rougher, my range of material gets broader, and I generally just sort of meander wherever I feel like at that moment in time.

Sometimes the output is dreadful.  Sometimes it’s pretty cool and I find myself really getting caught up in the moment and just keep spinning, sometimes for hours on end.

This mix is more the latter.  I try to always record myself these days, even if I’m “just” practicing.  This is what I ended up with last night while trying to burn off a bit of stress.

Hello people. DJ Retrospekt bringing you a short little mashup mix of my own. I’m venturing away from the typical cheese I usually post on here to give you this one. Retrofit consists of a bunch of 80’s songs mashed up with recent hits. A little bit of my cheesiness can still be found in some of the goofy mashes such as Kool And The Yang and Superman’s Humps Don’t Impress Me Much. The last track isn’t really 80s (although a sample of Tone Loc’s Wild Thing can be slightly heard), but I thought I’d add it since I thought it was funny. Anyway, hope you like it. I apologize for any slight stutters or skips you may hear…I really need a new laptop =(.

Watch out for when Kool And The Yang pops in though, my hand spazzed out on the gain just as I was mixing it in so it comes in sort of loud.  I try to lower it as quickly as I can.
