An introduction to Pulsewave

Hi there.

After just releasing the 7th episode of my Pulsewave series, I thought maybe I would take some time to explain what it is, and it's purpose to me.

After getting rid of my very basic Sony turntables about 20 years ago, I recently got back into DJ'ing after getting myself a DJ Controller (a Pioneer Opus Quad, if you were interested) and have instantly fallen back in love with the process. I have been a lifelong fan of dance music, but mixing sets yourself is just something else.

In an attempt to keep me interested and try to get as much practice in as possible, I wanted to set myself a target of trying to record something every two weeks, This allows me to be constantly looking for fresh music, as well as an opportunity to keep me using my equipment just the right amount to keep my technique.

Every episode of Pulsewave is recorded straight from my equipment and never edited (other then adding the spoken intro at the start). This is on purpose, to capture the good moments, as well as some of the "wonky" mixes, and levels etc., as this helps me learn. I also always prefer hearing the raw, unedited mix, warts and all, rather than something refined in a studio.

So, hopefully that gives a bit of background to it. Please feel free to go and check out episode 7 (biased but the best one yet I think). The mixes are there purely for fun, but hey let me know if you like anything you hear!
