BPM Edition 2010 Volume 1 | Take 1

Every once in a blue moon, everything just falls into place. I can say without any modesty that, that is the case for the very first BPM Edition of 2010. This and the upcoming final two sets that comprise volume 1 fell together with such ease that even I am amazed at how awesome these sets are. I did perform some modest editing, but for the most part, the songs are as is. Basically, the only thing I had left to do was go back and remaster all the songs to rein them in for a smoother listening experience. In short, this entire edition ROCKS! By August of last year, I began experimenting with this series and started mixing in underground house with the mainstream. I had received a perfectly legitimate critique of my work from someone on my Podbean site. Basically, the song selection was redundant. When the same producers remix everyone under the sun over and over, you run the risk of having your sets sounding the same or better yet, like a month old loaf of stale bread. As a result, I started playing around with the set list and frankly, I’m more than pleased with the end result. Going forward, this series will continue to be more inclusive of a variety of styles from electro, mainstream, funky and progressive house. On the first two sets, you’ll find a good mixture, while the third set relies more on underground house with a smattering of mainstream, which delivers a more peak hour feel. The goal here is to hit all the right notes, without coming across as generic or the same shit everyone else is doing. Just trying to keep it fresh. Ultimately, my goal is to continue to deliver the finest selection of non-stop dance podcasts for your workouts, parties and/or drive time to and from work, while providing exposure for artists and producers that most of you may never have heard of otherwise. The old saying goes “you have to spend money to make money” doesn’t necessarily apply here, because I just don’t even come close to covering my costs. Nevertheless, I’ll be happy if I can break even and keep things chugging along. Right now, it’s a balmy 34 degrees outside, though the sun is out; so who am I to bitch? For me, any day with sunshine and without rain is like a gift from the gods and certainly one I don’t turn down. So, I’m going to wrap this up and enjoy the rest of my day. I hope everyone is staying warm and having a fabulous weekend. I’ll be back on Tuesday with part two. Until then, enjoy!
