| "One
take sessions" are DJ mixes recorded in one take with no
planning of any sort: no prior programming, no practicing mixes,
no re-recording. Essentially, they are live mixes recorded in
the studio. The result is a mix that reflects what I sound like
when I play live, both in record selection and mixing. This
installment was recorded on 01/24/05 and serves as my winter
'05 breakbeat demo. |

| This
mix originally began it's existence as a live mix. I liked the
records together so much that I decided to put more work into
the mixes and make it a studio mix. (If your download is .mpa
change it to .mp3 to get it to play). |

| Jhaeda
Breaks is the second part of the Jhaeda mix set and includes
some of my recent favorites. Some have some grity, brutal basslines,
while others spotlight more melodic elements. |

| Jhaeda
was inspired by my trip to Barcelona and the records I bought
in London, many of which are in the mix. It isn't as hard as
Wonderland, but includes plenty of the bass heavy, techy, progressive
house that is always in my mixes. |

| Wonderland
begins dark and brooding, then gradually adds more percussive
elements, stronger basslines, and more synth elements until
ending hard and strong. To be succinct, this is a vigorous mix
of techy, percussive progressive house that will grab one's
attention. |

| Recorded
at the happening San Francisco happy hour party, hosted by Spesh.
This was an opening set, so it starts in a mild vein. It gradually
builds through many textures and melodies and ends in a more
Spivak-styled energy and sound. Some favorite tracks are Freaksound
and Underworld's "Two Days Off." |

| The
first Spivak mix. Overall, this mix isn't quite as aggressive
as more recent mixes. It starts deep and moves gradually into
heavier tracks that are more typical of what I play today. I
still like many of the records towards the end, specifically
Pappa & Gilbey's "Void," Fluke's "Absurd," and Satoshi Tomiie's
"Atari." |
