CKWAL MIX 2017012

Hmm. Made another attempt last night and spent about 12 hours in a spiritual war after a decent day. It’s got some transitions to die for, but it’s a little too much for a list. So far it’s been like days of nightmares alternated by dream days. I am calling this a Good Samaritan mix dedicated to Catholicism, my guiding denomination since about late September/October 2016. Although I’m not moving per say, seems like some have requested this asap.

On another note: I donated blood for the first time this year and found out where it went finally and I’d have to recommend doing it when you can, unless you have to do some real heavy manual labor for a few days after.

CKWAL MIX UNP04

So far I’ve made two longer mixes. They are difficult to listen to in one sitting. Both are similar in many of the tracks old and new (like the next top model), but as they are more difficult to make successfully without flaw it is going straight to UNP04.

A candidate for #12 ends with ‘Changing’ by John Mayer and as we are still on break, keeping the 11’s as the background/focus; Ckwal stays there. This mix (UNP04), I hit sync a couple times and it matched up to the high hat. This flaw and a controversial interruption of a slow version of ‘Rollin’ early with ‘Build the Cites’. This could be a cool technique, but it isn’t perfected yet, so this amazing nearly 1.5 hour mix is not able to be #12.

So, here is the new UNP. The previously scheduled UNP04 is actually main mix worthy because it doesn’t have any mistakes like this, but it is staying scheduled at the stroke of midnight on July 4th, 2017 (Independence Day in the U.S.). Obviously, it will be called UNP05, because it was a candidate earlier in the year that was never published or mainstreamed.

By the way, we just passed one week in and around our new base after our ‘Firestone’ (which I think is a mistake if you listen closely). Heading Westward…

Update

Dear Online readers,

The first CKWAL MIX 2017012 Candidate is finished. It was a tough blend of styles and I can’t wait to share it with you. It will probably the twelfth Official mix of the year. I don’t really want to move on from 011! One because I’m worried about being able to get more music and also because I relieved to be where it finally took me. To top that off, I was barely able to stay Vegan. Tougher than you would think. Anyways, it will be a year near the end of the summer and that is something I thought I’d never say in my life and definitely not for that long. When the budget gets tough and your trying to buy tunes for two or more mixes a month and juggle a really strict diet of course there is help out there, but not if you are really picky. I will also be sorting through these Unpublished Mixes and trying to get this album master out before the end of the year. The one I have up is good, but the newest one was worth the wait for this kind of music.

Having fun out in the sun.

CKWAL MIX UNP03

I am posting this unpublished mix early to help honor Fathers’ Day. To my father and parents’ fathers (some not here to share this with us in person).

In other news… the Ckwal LP has received a final master for iTunes by Darkart Mastering. However, Ckwal is moving this week, so it will be some time before I can publish CKWAL on the store.

Links

When you click on one of these iTunes links look for the track highlighted in blue for the one I am linking to. The one with the star next to it is one Apple suggests for whatever reason.

I compiled many links for some of the key posts below on PromoDJ for some super-quick reference.

I think we are moving the base of our operation before the end of the month, but more regular updates are of course.

Are you here yet?
