So, before I post episode 40 – the non-stop trance mix (have you bought your glowsticks yet? ) I was listening to DJ Choboo on the SRC @OMGKpop where she played a request for 1TYM’s Hot Duhgo, an old skool K-Hip hop track.

When I first started w. the SRC I somehow volunteered myself to mix one of our dj’s at the time, DJ CeeJay’s fan rendition of that song. She had written this entire rap in English and it was soo good I felt the mix she gave it didn’t do the song the justice. Me, I actually know VERY little about music production, I don’t play an instrument and only got to Level 2 in piano. I just know what sounds good and flows and I guess I got rhythm. I figured I should try and see what I can come up with in my limited knowledge of actual music production.

Anyways, this is what I ended up with:

There are bits of my voice in the background here and there, but it’s pretty much all Ceejay’s voice layered at different pitches. It’s really too bad there isn’t a clean instrumental of the track or else the sound would’ve been much clearer, but it works.

What do you think?

In other news, during one of my sessions @OMGKpop, DJ Amaya said I needed to be taught turntables, meaning I should be Djing like a club dj, which is a huge compliment coming from a person who’s work I respect alot. (I don’t have turntables, but I do have my dad’s old record player from the 70s.)

Apparently some people respect him so much that they steal his mixes as proven here:

Funnily enough, for the mix I did for CeeJay, I used Amadeus Pro to get the sound I wanted and then used the multitrack in Garageband to assemble all the clips together … which is sooo Fisher Price in comparison to what DJ Amaya does. I can’t even figure out Logic Pro.
