New Promo Mix - “Life In Transition” - Summer 2009 Summary

It’s that time of the year where we need some boost and energy. November is generally a very dark month here in Sweden. So I rewinded and made some memorable moments from the past summer in a compilation, adding my Summer favourites.

The mix can be enjoyed here through the stream, or you can download it to your own gadget.

NEMCOM at Pallen, Big student party at Linköping University. DJs: Loa, Dunn, A2R, Heart’n’Beat and DJ Anders. The party began at 10pm, but recording started around 11.30pm. I played two sets, in the warmup session 10 to 10.30pm and at peak hour 1.30 to 2.00am approximately. One tune at around 1.00am as well, for an intended dance performance, but it was too crowded.

The single song played at 1:32 in the stream: 1. Claude van Stroke - Vocal Chords (Original Mix)

The peak hour set at 2:03 to 2:30 in the set:

2. Bansi & Riktam - Green Space
3. Pryda - Pjanoo
4. Gaia - Tuvan (Gareth Emery Remix)
5. Simon Patterson - Smack
6. Rank 1 - L. E. D. there be light (Wippenberg Remix)

The set times for the full stream:
00:00 to 00:39 Dunn & A2R (dubstep)
00:39 to 1:32 Heart’n’Beat (house)
1:32 to 1:40 DJ Anders (minimal)
1:40 to 2:03 Loa (progressive/psy)
2:03 to 2:30 DJ Anders (tech-house, house, melodic trance, tech-trance)

I play 10 to 11 pm at UV-kravall, that kicks off the party for students from Lingsektionen, Linköping University.

I have consumed music as long as I can remember. With the first 7” single bought from one of my weekly allowances as a kid – Abba “Waterloo” – my record collection started to build up. Starting out as a Radio DJ in secondary school, I soon got my first live gig 1983 in front of some hundreds of students at my school. Electronic music was early on, from “Pop Corn” with Hot Butter, via Jean Michel Jarre, to Kraftwerk and the full Synth Wave in early eighties.

From the moment I picked up Farley “Jackmaster” Funk with Love Can’t Turn Around most likely from the first import batch of that 12” Chicago House Classic in mid-Eighties, EDM has always been there in the crater. Totally hooked to “Joy of Life EDM” as I define it, I continue to spread the love vibes from the booth, with a contagious smile and energetic spread in full contact with the audience in high spirit. From the progressive sweaping meditative beats sliding over at the other side of the scale via the melodic and big hall room peak-time anthems, to the techier, harder beats the longer into the night the set continues, they all fit in into my sets - from veterans like Armin, Above&Beyond, Markus Schulz and Marco V to shooting stars of more recent date like Mat Zo, Benya, Tenishia and Sander van Doorn. I love to mix the classics with the hot new tunage in a blend where I am closest to “Be the Change I want to See”, and living my vision RE:LOVE THE WORLD – “a world where you meet your fellow human being with Love and Respect, and can be expected to be met with the same”.

I cooperate deeply nowadays with the proud association NEMCOM, Norrköping Electronic Music Community, and I’ve had several gigs on their events and also other promotors here. In daylight time when the cyber/strobe/spots are turned off, I am run a freelancing business with all related to “sustainopreneurship” (entrepreneurship and innovation for sustainability - I started the Wikipedia article on subject) with the brand SLICE Services and Publishing™, a topic I also do pioneering academic research on with many publications, and which is blogged extensively in many formats, both in English and Swedish. I also author a book on the subject at the moment. All in the name of Peace, Love, Unity and Respect!

See you on the dancefloor!

Peace, Anders

Hello World! DJ Anders Blog is here again!

Beyond ending the blog over at Typepad, and after an experiment to create a community around the “brand” of the “Musical Me” over at Ning, I let that rest, and now I decide to focus two main destinations for me. One tumblelog, “shortblog” - this is the one - and my mix archive over at Soundcloud. The navigation bar in the header links the latest update within each category in this tumblelog - that means clicking on “gigs” will filter the tumblelog to only show postings with calendar listings and new gigs added. And so on - you get it.

Complimentary virtual spaces: I also keep a Facebook Group for irregular newsletters called DJ Anders Update. There is also Twitter account for short updates, mostly auto-retweets from my @sliceonline account tagged #djanders - you can follow @DJAndersAlerts to get notifications. This Tumblelog is feeding both Twitter accounts when new things are up. For “all” of me, follow @sliceonline. For stuff only related to DJ Anders, follow @DJAndersAlerts.
