Episode 1 - Cary Chang
Here it is, the new look and feel of the podcast! I know it has been a long time since any of you got a new episode and well... I've not just been sitting on my arse. Some traveling, some beer drinking in exotic locales, some hard drive failures and a general rethinking of what I'm doing has brought us here to the new and improved podcast - Textures. Presented by yours truly and still committed to bringing you all the very best in electronic music of all types. I have added new graphics care of Area709, a new intro sequence and coming soon some dialog intros to the mixes as they come out. I hope you all enjoy this more professional looking and sounding show and I look forward to growing our audience in the months to come. And as always, pass this along to other like minded peeps out there and share the love!
To kick off Textures, I have a mix from a good friend of mine. He has been DJing forever as far as I can tell. He has opened for every major DJ you can think of and has retained a sought after spot on the Balance Record pool for years. He is perhaps the god-father of Progressive in Calgary and just an amazing person in general. I hope you enjoy this live mix from none other than Cary Chang!

From Cary:
I am going to come at this bio thing from another perspective cause generally I find bio's thoroughly un-interesting and self aggrandizing at best. If anyone is at all interested they can check my site - but even that bio is sort of weak. I will however share some stories that are pertinent to this mix!
This mix is a piece of my warm up set for our Sander Kleinenberg show at Tantra nightclub. This was the second time I played with Sander - and my story comes from the first which must have been around 2001, just as his Global Underground mixes started to come out - and in the slump of our local scene. I had been playing to a very very slow warm up crowd - lethargy pervaded and the trainspotters were out in full effect - not a good equation to warming up a dance floor for a dj I couldn't wait to see! The sound of the time was a very boring era of progressive - the dark tribal days and I was in an area I was calling Nu.House - a very open interpretation of what fits together - more clubby then progressive house was known to be, but also more divergent - playing more techno, break beats - really pushing different things into one place. Needless to say - the crowd was not really sure of what to make of me. Sander had been in the club long enough to drop his record bags - and run to get some drinks - probably talk to some girls.. that's what all guest dj's do right? .... well I have all these trainspotters probably tearing me apart in their heads, no dance floor to speak of - and Sander comes running over asking if he can buy the last two records - having owned a shop, the records themselves are no big deal to me.. but in jest I said I couldn't accept his money and that instead I would trade him... He promptly opened his bag - tore through it and handed my back four of five new promos. The trainspotters jaws were on the floor and I felt totally vindicated! To be honest - it has been interactions like this that remind me of the true community of people who just love dance music!
of special note on this mix - due to Sander's tour, we were playing on the new an unreleased Pioneer SVM 1000 mixer - I am rarely intimidated when I get into a club or booth - but this thing made me sit back and look for five minutes before I did anything - a real pleasure and a highlight of the show! check this thing out, it will blow your mind.
Anyways - thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my mix with your listeners - sorry its like three years over due - and I look forward to our mountain biking season in the coming year bro!
