Feb 25th
A quick 30 minute mix featuring some of my favourite recent releases. A quick one so the tracks don’t go brilliantly together at times, not in same key etc but these are some of my faves at the moment.
Tracks included in part 1 are Arnej – Ping Pong, Estiva – Friends and Enemies, John O’Callaghan – Striker.
Part 1 of 2 on youtube below (part 2 coming soon)
“This Is House” DJ Kevin-E Live at The Loft
Nov 21st
“This Is House” is my monthly night at the Loft Sports Bar in Swansea, playing the best and latest in Funky, Progressive and Electro House.
After a successful trial night earlier this month, I’m back on Saturday 19th December 2009 from 9pm until 2am where I like to play a variety of funky vocal house, commercial, progressive, electro and trance.

Quick Video – EQ In The Mix
Oct 9th
Here’s a quick video showing one way of using the EQ to make a smoother transition between two House tracks. I’d do it using equipment (which I’d prefer) but it’s hard to get the right angle and DJ at the same time so I did it in Traktor instead to show a close-up of the high-mid-low EQs.
There’s no right or wrong way to mix, just as long as it sounds good. This is just an example, different songs and genres will require different EQ methods (taking the bass away at different times, bringing the mid down more if they clash etc) Unlike in this video, it’s best to operate the two EQ knobs at the same time usually, so whilst taking away some bass on one side, you add bass on the other at the same time.
I hope it helps and it gives you an idea of how to use EQ effectively. Generally you’d change the EQ after every 4/8 bars.
There’s more info on the Traktor Pro software here as well as a link to buy it from amazon.
