UDG customer service

By DJ, In EnglishNo Comments

UDG serves you well. After one wheel of my UDG Trolley Bag broke, I contacted UDG Customer Service. After sending the receipt, a couple of photos and an explanation, the Customer Service contacted me with a really nice email and promised to send a full repair kit.

UDG Customer Service

This is what I got today. Spare parts more than I needed and indeed a FULL repair kit. The only thing which seems to be missing, is the manual for those (read: “me”) who don’t have a clue how to remove the broken parts and replace them with those above.

I’ll be off (again) from Sunday to Wednesday, so here’s another possibility to dive back to the past. The Orb’s Little Fluffy Clouds is pretty trippy. Perfect stuff if you had a rough weekend.

I’ll be off from Rovaniemi for the next couple of days, so here’s some Pausenmusik until I’m back. I adore this track and the samples taken from Opus III’s Fine Day. Yes, it’s Kirsty Hawkshaw on vocals.

New mix: Orion – Agave

By DJ, In EnglishNo Comments

A new two-part mix named Agave is ready.

Agave is a plant, also known as Century Plant. Its common name derives from its habit of only occasionally flowering, but when it does, the spike with a cyme of big yellow flowers, may reach up to 8 meters in height. The plant dies after flowering.

Blossom once, then die – fascinating.

Now what does this plant have to do with this mix? You don’t have to be too smart to figure that out ;)

Brand new progressive trance, classic trance tracks, breaks and hypnotic drives. Holden, Way Out West, Shiloh, Max Graham, Andy Moor, Hybrid etc etc…

Download Agave (99mb).

Did you like this mix? Agave has also part 2 – Agave (postlude), available only via Orion’s podcast. To get that as well, go and subscribe to podcast.

Oh, and comments are always welcome (I like communicating with you people;). Use the comment option below – or if you feel like sending a private message, use the shoutbox on the main site and choose “private” when writing. Or just write traditional email :)

Jeff Mills: The Exhibitionist Mix

JEFF MILLS: The Exhibitionist Mix (part 1/3)(2004)

“I can never remember such a piece of work ever existing where a techno DJ was captured on film in a very graphic way so we could see exactly how he’s mixing and piecing records together to create a very streamlined soundtrack. I thought this would expand the ideas that are conveyed through DJ mixing to people who are not aware of what a DJ really does – and what is the difference, between say a hip hop DJ, or a techno DJ… Just simply focusing on the creative motion of a DJ would allow more people to become interested in the art form. I thought starting with what a DJ does is the best way.”
– Jeff Mills

At the moment Worldwide Mix Selections -podcast serves a nice ’99-’01 trance mix by DJ Thomas. The mix is already 4-5 years old, but it hasn’t lost a bit of that original feeling. Not so usual for trance mixes these days, huh?
After casting LOTS of house music, WMS is now concentrating on other genres for a while. There are SO many good progressive, drum’n bass, techno, trance and chill-out etc.etc.etc mixes around, it’s just a matter of finding (and podcasting) them. Suggestions for new mixes are always welcome.

After two nice guest mixes from Loopy and San Mejor (thanks, guys!) DJ Orion’s podcast casts now Dead End, the latest mix of the author himself. Expect new stuff appearing shortly, one 30min mix and one full-lenght trancey mix coming up.

If you clicked those links, you might have noticed that the podcast section has now been improved. The subscribing should be now easier than ever. But just in case, here are the direct links to iTunes:
