I have opened a new section where I will post my free promotional sets from now on. It is electronic dance music, mainly progressive and songs that combine different styles that either groove or are harmonic. I also break the beat from time to time in my sets. Leave a comment if you feel like it. 

last monday we went to cologne to underworld live. i had no great expectations, since the new album is kind of weak. but seems like underworld themself agree - they only played 2 new songs and filled the evening with old tunes. great stuff.

And meanwhile I get more familiar with ableton live, I finished a first set today and will post it soon. For now I am looking forward to tomorrow and see how eightpage can be kicked up a notch. Its been a weak start and I must say I am aggravated by it.  

is fun. besides the fact that my phone would not stop ringing today, it was a fun day. i read a very interesting article a little bit ago. I think everyone should really have a look - wondering how to raise smart kids?

I will attend this years european juggling convention which will be held in Karlsruhe in August. We will probably go in a group - all jugglers from Mainz. I have played Poi for 3 years now, but my new favourite is to contact juggle. 

Contact what? Have a look and get an impression:

I’ll see you when i see you

it's the new year, so here are some spontaneous new years resolutions:

live eightpage
don't go to cocoon on fridays
learn how to remix a music track

I have found myself frequently with interesting things so for now I will try and post them here (once again - i hope i can prevail this time). For all you women out there here is isabel allende for you telling stories about powerful women at the TED. Still one of my hobbies: neurology - meet Vilayanur Ramachandran. In a wide-ranging talk, he explores how brain damage can reveal the connection between the internal structures of the brain and the corresponding functions of the mind.

I say goodbye with a screenshot from my version of traktor dj 3, my tool of choice at the moment for mixing music tracks. It is tons of fun and worth the purchase, though i recommend virtualdj to start out as a beginner :). take care.

Hui, first attempt of an own one hour set, i still have to work out my sound settings and get to know my ASIO drivers - so there are minor sound glitches and partially overdriven bass along with transitions where i could have been more patient :). enjoy. Click on the play button below to start playing, the file will be loaded - you can also skip forward or rewind as long as you keep the window open. the file will not be cached, so if you close the window playing this file, you will have to reload .

thanks to all the great artist for making this kind of music. thank you beatport for distributing music in a contemporary way. you can buy all the tracks that i included in this mix at their site. this mix was produced using virtualdj, hercules dj mixing console mk2 and the formidable ASIO4ALL drivers. 

Well then. I found time for a new design, let’s see if I can find time for new posts as well
