GenErik

Previously my They Came Down From the North mixes have been months in the making studio mixes with everything planned and mixed to the second. There is a reason for that, mixes on a theme is hard. Much harder than live mixing a single genre. And this is what I have tried here: Whittling down a playlist of only Norwegian and Scandinavian artists of the last decade and a half into a semi-cohesive whole. It is much harder than it sounds, but then again I appreciate a DJ challenge.

And here is the result. I hope you enjoy the cool scandi sounds I have collected from 1996 to the present.

So this week's set didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. An hour before my set was scheduled I got hit by the iOS8/iTunes 12 syncing bug, which necessitated a complete nuking of my library. To even get tracks on to my iPad, I needed to do a full restore. Which of course also meant deleting any built up metadata: key, tempo and cue-point information. I ended up getting my music synced over, but none of that useful metadata. So for this one I had to lean back on my non-digital DJ skills. It's a bit rougher in some of the transitions that I'd normally like (especially some bad key changes), but for a flying by the seat of my pants sets I'm overall happy. It's got some orthodox programming, starting off with my favourite Beatles remix of all time, moving on to a good chunk of classic hip hop, some mashups and ending up at tropical house. Once I relaxed from my initial panic I had a lot of fun with this. Hope you do to.

1. The Beatles - Come Together (Rhythm Scholar Remix)

2. The Nextmen - Blood Fire (Feat Dynamite MC)

10. St Germain - So Flute (Mozambo Remix)

11. GenErik - Something Good Can Make a Lisztomaniac of You

12. GenErik - Warehouse Parties (Sample)

13. GenErik - How Do You Really Know Something to be GenErik? (Sample)

An important lesson for all (digital) DJs: Your equipment will let you down sooner or later, be sure to be ready for that.

Teja (https://soundcloud.com/tejavuofficial) is a local up and coming talent I have been tracking almost all this year. Been hunting her down to get on the podcast for a while, so I am finally glad to have her. She's certainly on to a great start in her career with being a finalist in the Your Shot 2014 competition, mentorship from the best in the business and gigs and residencies aplenty. I am super stoked to have her on the show and she's selected a cracker selection of tracks including the SBRBN 21 Questions remix I featured in episode 11: Into the Sea.

Unfortunately Teja had some bad news regarding a close family member just prior to this mix, so she'd like to dedicate this to her grandfather. <3

Slightly less bro-ish ghetto funk edit. All credit to Funkanomics. Slightly edited and remastered for 2014.

Just edited and mastered to fit in better with my current sets. Again: FUNKANOMICS.

Sorry the Podcast is late this week. Had a late cancellation, and a disastrous attempt at a mix of my own. Fear not, bringing you an absolute classic: They Came Down From the North I + II. The cream of nordic and scandi electronica with a bias towards Bergen and Norway (of course). Poured my heart and soul into these in 2012, and again when I had to remaster and partially remake them again last night until 4am. Enjoy!
