Another session of practicing with my mobile setup. Stuck pretty close to 130 BPM for this set, just pulling some of my particular favorite tracks out.
Run-DMC
Thor’s Day Night Dance
This past weekend, I was the DJ for the Thursday Night Dance (which we named the Thor’s Day Night Dance) at a local convention.
We call it Thursday night, but we used to know it as Thor’s Day…and you can kick off your weekend of saving the world with a celebration worthy of Asgard itself! Join DJ Wüdi for an evening of tunes new and old for gods and mortals alike. Come dressed as your godlike representation or as your mortal alter-ego. Requests are not just welcome, but encouraged!
Here’s my full DJ set from the night, recorded live as the night went on! The full track is huge (4 hours, 23 minutes, 296.6 MB), so I’ve also split the night into four sections of roughly an hour each for easier downloading. In all the tracklists, tracks marked with “•” were requests.
Enjoy!
The full mix:

It’s tricky
Well, this just sucks — Jam Master Jay, DJ for Run-DMC., was shot and killed in the studio.
While most of my music listening is more on the side of goth, industrial, and electronic, there’s a lot of ‘old-school’ rap in my collection, and Run-DMC were some of the true pioneers of the field. They also stayed in the game for fun, making a lot of good, upbeat, fun songs, without stooping to the guns and violence of the ‘gangsta rap’ that has become so popular of late. Truly sad to see something like this happen.
