Dj Mike Nouveau – Be Here Now (free mix download)

August 21, 2009 mikenouveau 4 comments

BeHereNow

I didn’t expect to be cranking out so many mixes this year but after positive response to the Summer Bumber and Beach Bump mixes I was urged to do another summer-themed mix. Because it’s always summer in California getting into the groove of partytime was easy for this one. Be Here Now demands your attention for a rump-shaking party groove and 60 minutes of push and pull mixing. House vibe, tech sounds, funky bass, big drops, nasty samples and lots of groove.  Hope you dig it..

Sounds Defy Gravity Podcast 001 – Dj Mike Nouveau: Push and Pull

So I finally got around to launching a podcast series..  and Ok Ok.. don’t flame me just yet because I haven’t set up the feed properly.. but I’m workin on it! In the meantime I’ve uploaded the first podcast for direct download – HERE. This one’s a tech/housey romp at 122-124 bpm.. a little Mistress Barbara and Chris Leibing for the tek-heads, Drums of Death for the ravers, Dance Mania for the freaks and househeads. I’m kinda psyched about Drums 95 (Metalheads) pitched to 122.. makes for a nasty break under Derrick May. I had fun with this one and I hope you like it too.

Stay tuned for the proper launch (with subscription) SOON! Got mixes coming up from Claire (DJ Isis), Sergio Santos, Randy Deshaies, James Alderwood and plenty of other talented DJs from around the globe.  I wanted to let you guys know I am open for submissions if you have something fantastic that might fit our groove.. housey, tech, glitch, idm… more or less the flavors that run around this blog. Love to hear what you’ve got!

Here’s a little preview of what to expect from the upcomming Defy Gravity Podcast! (aka NuvoFM.) As an avid collector of find electronic music I find these mixes to be theraputic ass-shaking release of creativity. Please note I do not crank these suckers out easily or quickly.. I hope you find these excursions to be complex and deep journeys into sound. I am an avid fan of genre-mashing and love to find those moments when a few odd elements combine to create something amazing.I hope you enjoy!

This SUMMER BUMPER mix was created last summer (2008) for my sister and friends on the east coast.. as well as a promo piece for dj gigs. It was followed by a second part called WINTER WARMER (released in December) which I will post next. Proud of how these came out and thought you might like the flow. Comments, love, hate, critique appreciated!
