As of today, my music collection stands at 797 songs. Its taken me a decade to build this library of music and in this age of digital DJing I’ve noticed its become easier for some tracks to get burried deep down in the pile. After a period of relative “DJ hibernation” the search for new material for my dancecast has led me back to some old an forgotten tracks. I’ve decided to make a concerted effort to incorporate them into my sets, so don’t be surprise if you hear some from a few years back, or even the late 90s.

The DJ culture we’ve perpetuated since moving to the digital format has been one of “churn and burn” but it wasn’t always that way. When you had to spend 10 bucks per record and could only haul 30 to 40 of them to a show we were a much more select group. These days I can download any track I like from beatport instantly for $1.99 and have the ability to store millions of them on a single hard drive. $1.99 in 2011 vs. $10 in 2002? When adjusted for inflation, I believe that is the equivalent of 0.12 cents…lol.

On a serious note though, the diversity we have access to digitally now is amazing, but maybe we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

This is a day I’ve been both looking forward to and dreading for a long time but knew would eventually come when I decided to set out on making my own music. Looks like today is the day. Below you’ll find two tracks I’ve decided to finally release out into the wild. I think you’ll find they might not exactly be what you would expect from me. Its not what i was expecting either, but its what ended up coming out and I went with.

Please give them a listen when you have a chance. Feedback and comments are welcome. If anyone is interested in a free promo copy of either track, email me and I’ll send you a high quality mp3 version.

Enjoy.
-Mike Charles
