Lunch Trance – 2024-08-28 – Newsflash

Today’s show started 10 minutes late, because my wife and I were out, looking at a couple of houses because we are (once again) thinking about buying one. Today we looked at one that has high-ish values for satisfaction, and now my wife is rearranging furniture in her head all the time. We are probably going to look at least at a couple more, and maybe there’s something that we’ll love, and maybe not. We’ll see.

However, one thing that we absolutely do know, is that we had a huge bunch of new tracks in tonight’s show! New stuff by Daniel Skyver, Simon Patterson, Metta & Glyde, Artena & Inversed, Christina Novelli and Ciaran McAuley, as well as many others, and I was also able to pick a Favourite of the Week: Bryan Kearney’s “You Will Never Be Forgotten,” remixed by Lostly.

But as usual, you should give the whole show a bit of your attention. Do so right here:

There is not going to be a show next, as I will be unavailable. For reasons. However, the week after that you will get two shows, one on Tuesday (September 10), and one on Wednesday (September 11), both at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

Well, the flash drive experiments are pretty much over by now. It Just Works™, which I am very happy with. 🥰

Also, no time to waste. You need to listen to this week’s Favourite of the Week™: “High Wire” by Roman Messer, ThoBa, and Veronica Bravo! No delaying!

Don’t believe me? You shouldn’t! Trust your own taste in music!

The next show will be on Wednesday, August 28, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

The experiments are still not done! Today’s experiment: can I play from and record to the same flash drive at the same time? Preliminary results say: yes, I can!

That is pretty great because it changes my after-show workflow in a way that allows to move the DJ table out of the way before uploading the show; previously everything would stay where it was until I finished encoding the show from the USB drive the player exposes. Now I can simply rip out the flash drive and put the player away!

Yes, that’s very good, indeed.

But that is not all that is awesome, we also had a bunch of great tracks tonight! “Orion” by Driftmoon & Hel:sløwed was great, “Syndicate” by Renegade System was great, Alan Morris’s remix of Robert Nickon’s “Delyo’s Voyage” was great, and the Novakaine remix of “Never End” by Yoji Biomehanika was — you guessed it — great!

However, greatest of all (today) was this track: “Love Again Like That” by Miyuki and Tara Louise, remixed by Sam Laxton! ❤️

Just do me a favour, listen to the show, and if you find a track that you think is pretty great, tell me about it in the comments. 🙂

The next show will be on Wednesday, August 21, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

More experimenting: not only did I play today’s show from a flash drive, I also recorded the show to a flash drive; to a second flash drive, nonetheless! And from what I can tell so far, everything has worked absolutely flawlessly, which actually saves me a good deal of work of every week, because connecting the player to the MacBook is almost infinitely more trouble than just putting stuff on a flash drive, which takes mere seconds and doesn’t even require a USB cable. Technology! ❤️

And again, the Stream Deck worked great. Really glad I finally got that, really mad that it took me so long. 😄

Anyway, we had a bunch of cool tracks, like “Venezia” by Alessandra Roncone, “Emotion FM” by Craig Connelly, and The Favourite of the Week™: “Timelapse” by John O’Callaghan (disguised as Joint Operations Centre), remixed by Sean Tyas (disguised as abstrkt). 🔥

But once again, there’s so much more music to listen to, don’t let my picks keep you from listening to all the tracks, right here.
