Omgosh!

Omg I haven't posted in way too long and almost all of my content is down due to server changes! That and I am currently on my honeymoon in Thailand with my lovely wife, Amythia. We've been to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and eat happy pizza, Chiang Mai to visit the highest point in Thailand and see all the beautiful waterfalls, as well as partying with locals in Bangkok at the Chang Beer stage in front of Central World. Everything has seemed to return to normal since the volatile period I witnessed at the beginning of the year here, I think "everything will be ok" as read on the side of Central World where fire damage was suffered.

Also I've managed to start a Sound Cloud account finally and have loaded two mixes up there for you to enjoy. The first one is a new one exploring the new phenomenon of bass music that is sweeping the world more and more everyday. The other is a mix I did in 2009 reflecting on a more bubblegum club side of danse music. Click the link to jump to my account and give them a listen...

Tribute to Techno

Finally got around to doing a new mix, this is a selection of songs that reflects both a love of techno and a longing to be back in Berlin. Didn't make it to ILT2009, but that doesn't mean we're not still just as in love with the techno as ever. We've even got some ideas to bring that which inspires us so much to new audiences here in Calgary. For now though please enjoy this mix.
ps Never been to Berghain, but we're definitely feeling ostgut alot lately, someday.

InOrderToDanse - Dreams Of Berghain Mix by InOrderToDanse

Moderat is fantastic!

You probably already knew that, but have you watched this video yet? I loved it too much to not share it. If ever there was a perfect progression for two artists as amazing as Modeselektor & Apparat to take next this would have to be it. My only regret is not being on it enough to go see them at Mutek in Montreal this year.
In other new we're getting ready for Shambhala 2009, InOrderToDanse is on the line up for Friday night 5:30am, or Saturday morning more accurately. I imagine songs like this as the sun is rising, hope to see you there.

Romances Remembered

This last weekend was more intense then I would have expected, it started Thursday at The Amsterdam Rhino, which is sadly not in Amsterdam (Thanks for reminding me Nina). However, despite that it was a long weekend and with everyone having friday off throngs of people showed. We couldn't get a break in all night, so it was bomb dropping time at it's best. Friday & Saturday night I put another 10 hours of turntablism in at Stampede Casino to a loyal following of gamblers, this human jukebox takes 20s. Then Sunday night was our Illuminaughty Secret Society Session at Dickens Pub, this is where I had to pull a transformation from pop beats & club shwag to PVC Pants & Industrial classics. 18 hours in total, truly I am more machine than man, however my back would bed to differ.
The musical offering today is a mix of some of my favorite early electro clash tunes, enjoy...


The Made Up Break Up Mix

Danse Classics

Thanks to the lovely Violetia we now have content up again. So we thought we would start you off on our new server by offering up a retrospective of the mixes, some of which have never seen the light of the blogsphere.
First up we have a pre-serato mix that was done completely with 12" vinyl records, some folks get a jolly out of that sort of thing. So please enjoy the early minimal blip house musings of...

(Warning this mix has been damaged and enters a world of cd scratch hell mid way, hopefully one day a full rip will be found)

I'll post the track listing soon too if anyone wants it.
In addition to being back we have a event coming up on April 12th. We've found a new place to host a Crimson event. If you can make it show us some love on the event page wall, the poster will link you to it on facebook.
