Last night’s broadcast was the prefect reflection of the week which preceeded it. I was ready, and had a set sketched out which was really exciting to me. Mostly comprised of new music, and ideas I’d been wanting to express about internal dialogs, the question of what beauty really is, and how it finds us, how we reflect it back into the world. As I began the broadcast I realized that my Vestax VCI-100 control surface (which had begun to stutter a bit in Halifax last week) was completely fried. I unplugged it after a couple of bungled mixes without volume control, and went into manual mode. Anyone who mixes with Traktor knows that manual mode is pretty awkward… point and click, one thing at a time mixing is not the elegant DJ experience required to accomplish my goals for this week’s broadcast. I was gutted, a little vexed, and started getting pretty hung up on how I was going to scrape together the required $500 to replace it. I closed my eyes, and just let go. The controller was broken, lost to me, the show had begun… all my beautiful sunday friends were present, listening, talking, there with me, and I was in the hands of you… my community, my people. So I let go and set about mixing the broadcast as best I could.
To me this is a most unexpected reflection, entirely unplanned, of what it is I really wanted to ask myself — what I really wanted to pose to you. Is it the selection? Is it the hour? Is it our shared history? Is it the technique? Is it the intention, the tempo, the sentiment, the purpose? How can it be any of this when each of us is entirely unique? Perhaps the magic of house music, mixology, transference, dance, and all that makes us reflect the beauty of our hearts is a unique combination of each of these things. An unrepeatable, irreplacable, and precious expression of our humanity, where the error is beautiful, and the unexpected is little more than the gems in our tiaras. Take it for what it’s worth. And don’t mind me. I love you, and am so grateful for your participation in my sunday night expression of my thinking, and heart’s fires.

The archive is posted now to the bottom of the community area at Treehouse Muzique and Sunday Soul. You can download it, stream it, and open it up in a new window and continue on your way. You can also donate a little something to my control surface replacement fund by clicking the “donate” or “keep it alive” links below the archive if you’ve got a couple bucks to spare. That would change the world for me. No presure. I’m going to continue this adventure with or without a control surface. Here’s to experiments and surprises and everything beautiful in this world!
