Breaks @ MindSay

Hey people! Look at this… it’s a brand new mix. Yup, quite fresh, this one. Good smell, nice weight, firm, bouncy beat.
I like to call this one It Goes in Cycles. It’s a tad eclectic, jumping around genres and eras as it damn well sees fit. Pfft, kids these days.
Anyways I suggest you download it.
“But why? Why should I waste my precious bandwidth on this file of yours?”
Huh? Oh. Wait, what? This is hardly what I would call a waste my friend! Why, with this mix you can do all kinds of things! Listen to it when your blue for a quick pick-me-up! Show it to your friends and they’ll think you’re the bee’s knees! Listen to it at work and get fired! Wait, no don’t do that… Show it to that special someone and you’ll be all kissy face in no time! Play it for your kids to make them shut up! Put it on your desktop so your dorm mates will think you’re a real hipster because you listen to a DJ no one has ever heard of!
Yesserie, not much this miracle mix can’t do, I tells ya.
Just look at all you get! (Statistical information follows)

For more information read the above paragraphs again, or read some of the other entries in this blog. That oughtta keep you busy for a while.
Fun Facts:
- 11 of these tracks are direct vinyl rips, one a free internet download, five ripped from a Cds and three I have no idea where they came from but they are somehow on my computer.
- Most of this mix was made during my free time at work in Japan.
- This mix was originally just an attempt to re-create the On The Floor At The Boutique (Fatboy Slim) version of “Because I Got It Like That”. The stutter in the middle (“Never work a day in my life…”) was shamelessly ripped off from that album. The stutter at the end (“You see Afrika was the one they loved“) was shamelessly made by me.
- I wanted to include the song “Dooms Day of Rap” (Hijack the Terrorist Group) in this one but the software I am using simply could not map the beats to it, even when I placed each beat marker by hand. It was replaced by “Prepare for the Battle“.
- I finished the mix at 11:00 am, but I have no internet at work, so I had to wait until 6:00pm, when I got home, to upload the thing. It drove me nuts.
- Since this is the first mix I have uploaded in a while, despite the fact I have a ton just sitting around waiting to be uploaded, I will get on more entries right away. Keep on eye on this spot!
This track combines "Check the Skillz" by Freestylers and DJ Z Trip and "Gremlins Rag", AKA the theme song to the movie Gremlins by Jerry Goldsmith.
I originally used the two tracks in a mix that I will post here later, but I liked the way they blended so well that I made a separate, stand-alone track.
Download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wodgxjzpsnq
The track is about 5:30 seconds. For those of you that are really impatient, the mash part begins at about 1:30 and lasts pretty much until the end. From 0:00 to 1:29 it is just "Check the Skillz". I kept that intact to use as an intro for when I play it live.
In the file, I spelled Gremlins' wrong. I don't feel like uploading it again just to correct one little error, so if it bothers you that much, just go in and take out the extra "i" (My exact error: I spelled it Gremilins').
Thanks again for listening. I've noticed that people are downloading these files, but very few if any are Mindsay members. I will setup a g-mail account for taking requests and post that with my next mix (get ready for some old school hip-hop). This way, I can still get requests and you, the listener, won't have to register a Mindsay account. Everyone wins!

Well, except maybe Mindsay...

A little about this mix:
I had the idea to do a straight up battle mix and this was the result. I also chose to give it as much of an old school sound as possible, so none of the mix points use anything but volume tricks (no EQ changes). I broke my own rule a little with the adding of "Renegade Master" with "Old School Scat", but the effect was just too cool to skip.
Tom's Diner is a rather famous acapella track that most people recognize instantly as it starts to play. The version I used here is a break remix with no name attached (from a white label record). I sped this version way up to blend with the other tracks and I ended up really liking how it sounded.
"Last Bongo in Brighton" actually is "Electric Rain Dance"... or at least the beginning is. "Last Bongo" starts with the sampled drum beat of "Rain Dance", adds a little more bass, then quickly switches to the guitar and horns part. It's actually kind of hard to distinguish the two tracks and where the mix point is exactly even tho I just slammed from one to the other.
"Clear" by Cybertron is the beat that Missy Elliot used for her hit single "Lose Control". Drop the Boom is a remix of the Freestyle track "Don't Stop the Rock". "Renegade Master" is technically a remix of "Old School Scat".
I used two Zeb Rok Ski tracks on accident, but would have used more if I was paying less attention. Zeb Rok Ski is a standard name when it comes to Old School Breaks. The fact Zeb makes mostly compilations and medleys makes mixing out of his stuff a breeze and adds a more playful air to the overall mix.
I am listed as DJ Maru as the artist here. The first nine or ten mixes I post will have that name only, but after that it will be split with DJ Maru/KillerJunglist. I haven't quite decided if I want to change my name on my mixes yet.
Please use the Mediafire link (once it is posted) as your main download source. It will have the most updated file information and album art etc. If the Mediafire link doesn’t work for some reason, please feel free to use the mirrors provided. Thanks!

Hey everybody, it's me, DJ Maru AKA KillerJunglist.
In this, my super brand new blog I will be posting all my music crap including mixes, mash-ups, original tracks and possibly more. I started posting my mixes on my old blog (www.mindsay.marukun.com) but that blog isn't about music, so I am starting this one in order to keep everything nice and neat.
In the next week or so I will start putting up the most recent mixes that I have made as well as some of my better practice sessions. I will also put up some tracks that I made in the past that I am proud of and some mash-ups that I made as well. I would also like to post links to other artists' tracks that I like, but I am currently making sure it is okay with them so that might take a little longer.
As this is my first blog entry, allow me to introduce myself.
I go by two DJ names, DJ Maru and KillerJunglist. My nickname in real life is Maru, but it turns out there are a bunch of DJs with that name already. KillerJunglist was coined by a friend of mine a while ago when I was spinning a Jungle set. And speaking of Jungle, My preferred styles of dance music are (in order):
1. Jungle/Drum and Bass
2. Battle/Old School/New Skool breaks
3. House (mostly UK Hard, but also Funky and Disco)
4. Old School Hip Hop
5. Unclassifiable (I like taking old rock and roll and such and mixing it... sort of like medleys).
I use software and turntables to mix. I am currently living in Japan (until November of this year) and far away from my turntables, so I have been making all my mixes on MixMeister; a simple but very useful (and inexpensive) piece of mixing software. My turntables are Numark TTXs and my mixer is a Denon DNX 100. I plan on getting a pair of CD mixers upon my return to America so I can include more songs into my live mixes.
My philosophy on DJing is simple: as long as it sounds good and/or moves the crowd you're doing it right. I don't care if you use two tape decks with no mixer, if you can keep the flow going then you are doing your job. I feel that creativity in DJing is what it's all about.
As an added bonus, I am willing to take mix requests. Here is how it works:
Leave a comment with your idea for a mix. You can give a specific playlist, some artists you like or just a genre with some song titles and, if I am inspired enough by it, I will take your requests and make a full length (30, 45 or 60 minute) mix out of them. I will post the mix on this blog and give inspirational credit (song credit too, if you happen to be an artist) to you. Mix requests will be considered by song availability (in the case of artists wanting their own music mixed by me please tell me where I can download a copy), time consideration and mixability (if you want a mix that goes from Elvis at 102 bpm to KMFDM at 165, I doubt it's gonna happen). I think it could be fun tho, so let's hear what you want to hear!
So that's my story. I will have my first mix posted within a few days, so stay tuned and start thinking of those requests!
-KillerJunglist
Post Script - I am not posting a mix today because I plan on writing some trivia about the tracks I used in each mix first. I am also planning on making a podcast soon that works on the same idea; talking about the artists and songs used and then playing the mix in full.
