DJ Chris@ Spring Equinox Party at Anagra, Tokyo

Since I had no car transport available, I was unable to take my usual pile of CD cases, so for the first time I loaded DJ software onto a laptop, quickly figured out the basics, and took it and an external HDD to the venue. However, since the audio card has only one output, I was unable to pre-listen to tracks, so all crossfades were done on the basis of memory and graphic display. Therefore, some of the transitions are less than optimal, though none are actual "trainwrecks". But I am really happy with the selections I found myself making on the fly, and with the overall arc and development; Despite its lack of precise beat- and key-matching on the crossfades, I think it may be the best set I've ever done. It ranges from ambient to fairly intensely rhythmic downtempo and back to ambient, with ethnic and classical samples mixed in with some of the tracks...
