phillip’s words:
speaking only for myself: it feels really redundant – reactionary, even – to record a mix and put it on the internet. like that awful guggenheim youtube exhibit, you know – you just cringe at the total cluelessness of superimposing heavy-handed curation on a medium that’s amazing because it’s totally personalized and disrupts archaic (vestigial?) unidirectional content delivery channels.
that’s to say: anyone and everyone can and should be mixing dance records, and all records are dance records, and there’s no reason to treat an mp3 file as a static object when you can be interacting with it, so why am i giving you a pre-mixed file and acting like i’m doing you a favor, right?
whatever, i’m giving myself douchechills “talking about music;” besides, it’s almost 2011 and people still care about pavement, so a dance mix is practically straight out of the motherfucking jetsons, right? here’s one of mine, hope you hate it!
