lowercase sounds... podcast

ok so here is drifting 003, i came home after a really hard nye/nyd of working... but i felt like i still needed to play some tunes. i lowered my stand that my gear is on to halfway sit. i also included an old kaoss pad that i hadn't used in quite awhile. i think i was able to add to the set without getting carried away with effects.. i need to work with it more again and remember what each effect is and how it works... since i am playing music that isn't like house mixing, it is nice to add some embellishments... something else to know is that i feel like drifting is taking the place of "on a path" for the time being. i will still play deep house and work some into these sets here and there, but i am really feeling the direction i have been going. i hope you are too! some of these tunes are from the era i was going to raves and such, when i listen now as older, it really takes me back to those wonderful moments hearing loud music in warehouse settings... thanks as always for taking the time to download, and listen.

hope you all are having a great holiday season! since christmas fell on sunday this year, i decided to do a special ambient broadcast that night. i figured most people were going to need a chiller vibe after dealing with family all day. the chatroom was alive with some familiar chatters, and i think we even picked up a few new peeps. i was going to go longer on this set, but for some reason i was getting a tune ready and the cd deck struggled with it, and i ended up with dead air, so instead of going on i just ended with the last tune before the silence. maybe for drifting #003 i will start where i left off.

i hope you all dont mind this shift into ambient music that i have been doing. i am not tired of deep house, just been needing to explore other avenues of music... speak up and let me know your feelings!

have a happy new year!

hi there!

this is #150! i just got a copy of biospheres cd that came out earlier in the year, and really needed to hear it. at the same time i realized it was time to get my 150th podcast posted. i had the first tune picked out for making a special mix, and the timing with the biosphere cd was pretty much spot on. i played a lot of tunes off the new biosphere cd(n-plants) i just shot from the hip, and ended up with a pretty dope journey through deephouse, techno, and ambient. i would really dig it if you listened either loud or in headphones in a dark space, in order to get the complete vibe. let go of all the bs in your life and let the music take you to a spot i often find in the music.

tracklist:
peace - simon optik
sendai - biosphere
cuerpo celeste - murcof
shika - biosphere
altostratus - biosphere
ikata - biosphere
imagine - deep spell
oi - biosphere
deep water - echofusion
fujiko - biosphere

let me know if you are unable to download the set, i have been going over in bandwidth the last few months, and so if i need to pay for more bw i will... i might just lower the bitrate of my casts again to accommodate more traffic without spending more money.

thanks as always for taking the time to download, listen, and share. it means a lot to me to have people that want to hear what i want to play.

hi all! things are starting to get back to normal around here, so i should be getting sets up on time again soon! the last few weeks have been so great, getting to go back to denver at the beginning of october, and then thinciowa in des moines last week. this week libba harmon, and i started a new friday night weekly of yoga and music. it was over full with people working it out on their mats while i was creating the vibe for them to achieve the space they were after.

that brings us to last night... i invited cicio aka anthony mazzara to come by and drop some techno tunes on us... so we traded off every 3 tunes until the half hour, where he took over and finished out the night.

the chat room was bumping with visitors from berlin, saudi arabia, detroit, los angeles, omaha, tuscon, and one dude we dont know where he was from! i love that this little project of mine as extended so far beyond omaha!

thank you as always for taking the time to download this set, and listen to it!

what's up! i hope you all are doing well this week! sorry i had been promising to get a set up for a few weeks now, and nothing was getting done. to be honest, i wasn't 100% feeling the sets when i listened back to them.

the past month+ i feel like i have been taken up by a whirlwind. really solid events have been popping up for me to dj at, including a wonderful trip i had to denver. i dj'd at a great party on the cherry creek reservoir right after the sun came down... brett starr played the sunset slot and slaughtered it! after we left the "res", we headed to opal, where i through down all vinyl with the dirty funk squad. on sunday am it was yoga rocks the park denver. there were so many people there, and right before the yoga started there was a sweet acro-yoga demo going on right in front of the decks. sunday night i got to chill and went to louis marr's sunday evening party. he offered me a every 3 month residency, that i will start on the weekend of oct 8! so if you are in denver lets dance some more!

once i got back to omaha, i did a set at black light yoga at the new blk. lora haase led it. that day i remembered that kyle douglas of myhouseyourhouse.net was in town, so i connected with him, and he shared the mixing duties! was so happy that we got to dj together!

i have been also playing a lot at io speak in the old market in omaha. if you dont know about it, ask me the story, i will fill you in!

that brings us to this last week leading into last nights set. i was part of a street art/graffiti demo, in which we got a bunch of artists together on wednesday night, and we went to town on some plywood. danger bunnie, a friend and supporter of lowercasesounds.com showed up on wednesday too... she was driving an all white van headed to burning man. in the spirit of the painting demo, she allowed everyone to cover her van with art! was pretty epic.

thursday night we ended up making friends with a group of people, at a party for a burning man group traveling though to the burn. matt warburton, and i dj'd deep into the night, only breaking for the fire show!

friday night was the showing of the art from wednesday night. there were so many people there! it was remarkable how many people in omaha love street art and graf! in the middle of the show, i had to head to io speak, in order to play a small after party for the show. we ended up having a packed house grooving out to the deep!

saturday night was my first one off in a few months... it was pretty nice. amber, and i decided to go out for dinner and drinks at io. so we got to also catch matt warburton jamming the deep house again!

so, now we have this weeks set. i did it last night. there is a spot where the tune skipped and i came off beat for a second. i fixed it pretty quick so it shouldn't annoy you to much. about 40 peeps tuned in to watch live, and they all really kept me into it. i have yet to listen to the set, which is really rare for me to post something before i quality control it... since i have been slacking on sharing sets i felt it was time to sort it out!

thanks for reading my ramblings! thank you as always for taking the time to download and/or listen! you really do keep me doing more!

tres.

yo! thank you for last week taking me so high in the download charts! this weeks set is pretty solid from start to finish. there is one tune that was good, but didnt fit the overall vibe and that happens towards the beginning. this set is deep and will definitely take you on a journey, and there is a message in the music. the chat room the night of this set was bumping, and we pulled some new friends in. anyway i hope you have a wonderful weekend! denver friends see you in a couple of weeks!

hope you all are well! thank you to everyone out there, taking the time to stream, and or download out there. i love that you spend some time with me. the last few months i feel like a wave of creativity has hit me hard. so i have been spending time working on some visual art. here is a link to a visual view of my world. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lowercasesounds/ you can see art that i am working on and finished pieces. some of my day to day life gets in there too.

so this weeks set i am sitting here finishing off writing about it, and doing the art to go along with. it has been a few weeks since i have listened to it. i keep getting lost in bits of it. i love how it starts out. looking now i realize it is a 3 hour set! i must of really been feeling it that night. oh i remember now, it was my first week to play on the air, after taking a few weeks off for gigs. awesome!

its deep. let it take you on a journey.

i saved this at 192 so it is going to take forever to download. maybe while it is downloading you get yourself a cocktail or whatever you need to chill out.

dont forget to check out http://www.lowercasesounds.com throughout the week for live sets.

wow i was on such a roll with getting sets posted, then the last 2 weeks nothing. i have been a bit preoccupied with doing art at the yoga rocks the parks events. the last couple weeks of sets i decided to delete. i could never find the groove that i was looking for. that leaves us with this set. it was deep and pretty solid. i think there was a couple weird key changes in some mixes but nothing that is intolerable. most of the music in this set came out within 2 weeks of 06.05.11 so there is some pretty fresh music within. i guess that is about it for this week. i will let the music speak for me now. check out http://www.lowercasesounds.com for live djs streaming every night of the week. we are adding some djs during the day from around the world too. i am guessing that we will be full soon, and may have to add another channel or something. you can find me on twitter, facebook, wordpress, or instagram @lowercasetres reach out and let me know if you are digging the sets.

hello! glad so many people are downloading and streaming, it is keeping me inspired to get more up, and to stay on it as i have been. the last few weeks have been incredible. i am trying to get a post done for my blog, but i run out of time to do things like that, but hopefully in the next few days i will start to tackle that task.

this set is almost 3 hours long, i was really feeling the vibe that night, and the chat room was def on the same wave length as me! i saw that someone posted a tune that weekend that i just got, so i decided to start with that. i feel like this set was full of energy while staying kind of mellow. i have listened a few times in the past week, and i really am happy that it has come time to share it with you. i hope that you can feel the same energy that we all felt.

thank you as always for taking the time out of your day to download and listen! find me on facebook or twitter @lowercasetres hell find me on most networks under that name! have a wonderful week!

when i uploaded this set, i couldn't remember how it went, or what was going on. i drove around running some errands this morning, and started listening. it all came back to me. this set is full of deep vocals, and heavy grooves. the mixing is smooth, and the vibe is uplifting love fest! i cant get enough of it!
