DJing and Music
    I went to Eric Prydz in Copenhagen on Friday; man I wish I liked it more, but I wasn’t connecting with what he was putting down. Yesterday I put in studio time on the CDJs and had a lot of “a-ha” moments. Putting them into practice today as I start work on a new set.

    Catching up on the last few weeks - Armin van Buuren and Bird vinyl bar in Copenhagen, touring absinthe bars in Prague.

    Swedish House Mafia, Gothenburg. An estimated 40,000 people attended their free show at Götaplatsen.

    From a rave last weekend. Amelie Lens headlining. Awesome lineup from start to finish.

    Caught Electric Callboy in Copehagen this weekend. Metal plus a little electronic flavor. Had an awesome time!

    DJed for a minute at Heery’s in Waterford, Ireland. Funny story, great venue!

    Last night - went to Plan B in Malmö. Really reminds me of an all-ages club I used to go to as a teen. Good vibes. Two dance floors inadvertently set up a case study in laptop DJing vs CDJ DJing. Neither was better than the other, just cool to compare. Had a blast, stayed past 1 am - will go again!

    I felt AWESOME about my livestream last night but I hit a snag with the new gear RIGHT AT THE END 😭 So I re-recorded today, and lo, IT IS DONE! I love this set; it perfectly captures my five years DJing. I hope you dig it! DJ Harrison Ripps · Totally Normal Dance Mix #37 - 5 TOTALLY NORMAL YEARS

    This is happening tonight, and it’s going to be a lot of fun :-) I’m doing the whole gig on the new gear, from a thumb drive, without a laptop. I’ll be sound-checking with some slow jams at 8:30 PM US EDT and then things get crazy at the top of the hour. Come hang out!

    Saw Väsen in concert last night. I wouldn’t have picked this show, but five minutes in I knew that I was listening to two absolute masters of their craft, and I am always in the mood for that. 🎵 {{< apple-music url=“https://music.apple.com/us/album/melliken/1670368963" >}}

    The Omnis Duo gets a lot of hate, but I have to say that sitting on my couch and coming up with a set on the fly was a LOT of fun. 512gb SD card with my whole music collection on it FTW

    My usual Thursday night hang-out isn’t happening this week, so the plan is to 1) eat pizza and 2) work on my next DJ set. The new controller (and the new-to-me rekordbox ecosystem) has me rethinking the way I build and perform sets. I also love the challenge of trying to do more with less… 🎵
