On Thursday a friend asked if I wanted to play a warm-up set on Sunday for his trio performing his original music at a hipster bar in San Francisco's Mission district. This is what I came up with. I was aiming for a blues/funky/jazz techno vibe, and like this pretty well aside from the levels problem during "I Been Looking" and the rushed mix of "Beat This" into "Rebound Bro." "Plis Infinis No3" is an example of what I've come to think of as the "clearing space" track, which isn't about groove or beat matching as much as it is about setting a tone, especially when you're the first DJ of the night.
