A random selection of lower-tempo (sub-100bpm) favorites. Just getting back into the swing of things after many months away. Got a gig coming up again, so time to get some practice in! There are a couple definite goofs in here; just picture everyone in the club turning to good-naturedly point and laugh at the DJ before going back to dancing. :)

Seattle Worldcon 2025 Wednesday Night Dance
As described on the Seattle Worldcon 2025 schedule:
From dance clubs in Alaska in the ’90s to being a recent regular DJ at Norwescon, DJ Wüdi spins an eclectic mix of dance tracks from across the decades. Pop, electronica/dance, wave, disco, goth/EBM/industrial, convention classics, mashups… (almost) anything goes!
The opening night’s dance at Seattle Worldcon 2025, recorded live at the Sheraton Grand hotel in downtown Seattle where the Worldcon After Dark programming was held, just a few blocks away from the Convention Center Summit building that was home to the daytime programming. Because this is an unedited live recording, there are a few flubs (some subtle, but some notable train wrecks right off the bat)…but hey, that’s just proof that I’m a real human and not genAI. ;) Pop it on in the background and enjoy four hours of the Seattle Worldcon nightlife!
Norwescon 47 Thursday Night Star Trek vs Star Wars Dance
From Norwescon 47: Are you Team Enterprise or Team Skywalker? Do you dream of the final frontier, or a galaxy far, far away? Lightsaber or phaser? The Force or the Prime Directive? Let your attire display your affiliation as we dance the night away with DJ Wüdi!
One note: Due to technical issues that plagued the start of the dance, the first 20-some minutes of this has been reconstructed at home. Everything from 27 minutes on was recorded live at Norwescon. This also means there’s one duplicated track…have fun finding it!

A little darker and gothier, until it gets a little bouncier towards the end, with totally otherwise unconnected nods to St. Paddy’s Day at the open and close.
Norwescon 39 Thursday Night Dance
Now that I’m prepping to DJ the Thursday night dance at Norwescon 45 in a couple months, I realized that I’d never posted my Norwescon 39 Thursday night dance recording here. Whoops! So here it is, a few years late — four and a half hours of music from the opening night of a science-fiction and fantasy convention. As is standard for me, it’s a mix of all sorts of stuff. Enjoy!
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.12.12
Week thirty-seven of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday afternoons. These are the results. Anything goes.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.11.07: Biden/Harris Win Edition
90 minutes of upbeat, happy, celebratory songs. No real plan; I started by searching my library for the keywords ‘party’, ‘celebrate’, and ‘America’, and improvised from there, with a few requests tossed in as the set went along.
Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris! It’s been a long four years.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.07.04: America 2020 Edition
To celebrate All Countries Matter day, a (somewhat cynical) genre-spanning selection of songs for the Fourth of July.
If you’re American and will be 18 or older in November: Make sure you’re registered to vote, and vote this November. We could be so much better than we are right now.

Week fifteen of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday mid-mornings. These are the results. Anything goes.
Difficult Listening Hour 2020.04.04
Week eight of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday mid-mornings. These are the results. Anything goes.
