‘Power’ Mix: December 2014
I’ve been wanting to make this mix forever, and booking a gig at a bar in a couple weeks gave me the motivation I needed. I recorded a bunch of tracks from vinyl through an old Zoom H4 recorder from my #noiselife days, and then mastered everything in Audacity. I imported the tracks into Ableton Live, and using the controller I have for that, executed the mix below. It’s diverse and not shy about record noise - enjoy!
