Desert Dwellers – Crossing Beyond (Duke Mushroom Remix)

The desert is an interesting place to compare the unique aspects of the way we view both the day and the night. To those who know what internally it means to be a dweller of the desert is to also know what it means to be a survivor. The hot desert sun gives way to the cool clear sky of the desert night. What is both real and unreal take on their own unique characteristics! Enjoy!

DJ Splash ~ Dance Club Mix May 5 2011

I’ll be DJ this evening from 10pm to Midnight (PST which is also SLT). I’ve put together a lively, up-tempo vocal house, electric dance music, funk with perhaps a few hip hop song’s in my set too for tonight’s gig. I live mix, mix in key and provide live voice over introductions for my songs. DJ in Second Life is a cross/hybrid between DJ in Real Life and DJ on the radio. All the songs in my set list are chosen by me and I don’t repeat sets from one gig to the next. I leave room in my sets for requests and really enjoy the feedback I get from my listeners while DJ. If you haven’t heard me DJ in Second Life before, please join me if you can and are on the “grid” while I’m DJ. The experience of DJ in Second Life is 10X better than DJ on the radio, as you get immediate feedback from those who come out to your gigs!

DJ Splash Dance Club Gig

I’m DJ this evening, Thursday April 14th from 10 pm (SLT = PST) to Midnight. Peak listening audience was 55 last week during my regular set time and we kept the club crowd in the mid to high 40 range for almost my entire two-hour set, so it was lots of fun.

I always get up for my DJ sets, with a great choice of up-tempo funk, hip hop, and vocal electro dance music songs. If you’re a resident of Second Life and on the grid during my gig time this evening, please drop by for a bit to check out my vibe, you won’t be disappointed if you do!

DJ Splash Kidd’s DJ December 1st 2010 10 PM to Midnight PST

I’m DJ in Second Life this evening. Not all the people who read this blog are residents of Second Life so I’ll place my stream URL here so you can plug it into your web browser if you like so you can hear me DJ. Hip Hop, RnB, Pop and some Remix are the flavor for tonight. If you listen via this method please leave me a quick note on the blog telling me so and what you think! Thanks a lot

DJ, Music Gig Schedule – November 29th to December 5th

I’ve only got one gig time lined up for this week so far. With a busy RL schedule and the winter holiday season now here I have less time sadly to DJ.

Hip Hop/Electro Dance – 10 pm (PST) to Midnight – Wed. Dec 1st, 2010

I’ll be utilizing my Traktor Scratch Pro software this week when I DJ at Ambrosia. While I still occasionally use my SAM Broadcaster software to DJ with, Traktor is definitely my equipment of choice first and foremost. Traktor, which is made by Native Instruments, is just way more powerful, flexible and fun to DJ with compared to SAM. SAM’s a nice program too, but doesn’t have the range or interactive tools to work with like Traktor does. I’ll be mixing in key and keeping the BPM’s at 124 or higher for most songs I play during my set, to keep the vibe up-tempo and fun. If your out and about on the gig on the evening of December the 1st, please drop on by to listen to me DJ for a bit if your free!

DJ Splash’ Invite Card to his Gig at Burn2 – Thursday October 21, 2010 10pm to Midnight (PST)

I’m scheduled to DJ at Burn2 in Second Life on Thursday, October 21st, 2010 at 10pm to Midnight (PST). I’ll be performing on the Berlin Stage and plan on doing at Vocal House/Vocal Electro Dance kind of mix. All things being equal I should be using Traktor Scratch Pro as my mixing DJ software for this gig.

For those who are not aware, Burn2 is a Second Life community run event that goes from October 16th to October 24th and is the virtual world equal to the real life Burning Man event that is held in the desert location of Nevada, USA. The Founder, CEO of Linden Labs, the company behind Second Life, has previously indicated in interviews he’s given that he went to a Burning Man event several years ago when he was just putting together Second Life and found the experience to such a great inclusive community based experience that reflected a lot of the values he wanted to develop into the Second Life virtual world platform. As such Burn2 helps to celebrate for a week some of the core values of what the Second Life virtual experience is all about. Even if you can’t make it out to my gig this Thursday, and you’re a member of Second Life, please take some time to check out this great event that celebrates so many areas of creative expression within the artistic communities.

Debut Video – Humans “Bike Home”

The attached video was just released by Vancouver, Canada based indie band “Humans”, the song is called “Bike Home” Whats great about this video that’s on Youtube is that it was made on a shoe string budget at a house party and goes to show the level of professionalism and creative quality that can be delivered today without the need of a larger studio/label being involved and then injecting their concept of what the style of video should be based on their views of the “target” market. Enjoy the video and more importantly the song!
