Agents of Empire

Since it’s been awhile, I figured I should probably put something here and maybe revert back to an older theme. My inactivity on this particular website doesn’t necessarily indicate that I haven’t been doing much of anything; more, I’ve been extremely busy with my job, RIFT™, working towards two one network security certificates, and the occasional gig that drags me out of my cave.  Many thanks to Sailorgloom and Missguided for allowing me the opportunities to shake the rust off.  To add to those two, I must also put a shout out to C-P of DC 949 and Unall{Ø}cated Space – not just for allowing me to provide the tunes for Unall{Ø}cated’s 1 year anniversary party mid-November last year, but for bringing me back for their Shmoocon 2012 after-party Jan 27, 2012.  Already a great start to a new year.

Over a year had passed since I found myself behind the decks in a club. The dry-spell had been broken Saturday, July 23rd, 2011 thanks to DJ MissGuided and the Dancing Ferret sponsored event, Dracula’s Ball. I packed my backpack with my somewhat new Apple 13” MacBook Pro, an upgraded Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro 2, the old Denon headphones that I’ve had forever now, and some 11.7 thousand songs at my finger tips I may have been a little over-prepared for a night where I would only have 2.5 hours or less of playtime.

So I finally broke down and shelled out the cash to upgrade my current virtual DJ software to the latest and greatest version of Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro 2.  What prompted this upgrade, you ask?  Well, a good friend of mine decided to call me out of the blue one day to invite me to this crazy event out in Philadelphia, PA called “Dracula’s Ball” and, of course, I couldn’t say no … it’s been over a year since I’ve last stood behind a DJ booth – I need a bit of release.  Thank you, DJ MissGuided, for the opportunity.
