Oh wait, this isn’t Rhythm Mechanics! DJ Sangre was out of town this week, so I stepped in to cover his show cause I’m a nice guy like that. I pretty much did the same thing I did last week, I went and got a bunch of new tracks on the internets and burned a couple new CD’s especially for this show. However it didn’t go over quite as well as last week. There’s good music, but once again, I managed to mess up and hit the wrong cue button when I came back to the decks after talking at the control board… same damn thing happened to me once hosting The Fringe before… maybe it’s a curse… who knows!

Be sure to check out Smartbar this Wednesday!

So I had to follow Johnny Fiasco, which mind you is no easy task (that set will be up on DJ Sangre’s website soon) but I have to say I upped my game for the first half of the show and threw down some house. Of the 20 tracks I played, 17 I had never mixed before, and burned them fresh on CD’s about an hour before the show. I dare you to listen to minutes 10 through 40 without bouncing around… Tune in next week as I host The Fringe again (Sangre is swamped with work this month). Maybe it will be me on the decks, maybe it won’t, but I guarantee there will be someone trying to top this mix right here. Don’t forget to bookmark us at wnur.org… Stay Tuned Chicago!

I don’t normally complain about my timeslot or show, because I’m lucky to have it, but it usually means that I am following some of Chicago’s top DJ’s whenever I come on. DJ Sangre, aside from throwing down some awesome live sets, is known for bringing in top-notch guests to perform on his show. Next week (April 6th, 2009) he will be featuring none other than Johnny Fiasco (OM, Klassik Fiasco), a fixture in the Chicago house music scene. Be sure to tune in or listen live over the intertubes, and don’t forget about my show, coming back after almost a month long hiatus. All I know is I’ve got some preparing to do!

Also, I hosted The Fringe this past Monday night with a jackin’ mix by Bryan Jones! You can get that mix right here! (right click, save as)

Cheers,
