DJ Aristocat - 1 Week 2 Go Obama!.mp3

Hey Ya'll,

Put this track together today, we're in the election home stretch and I felt inspired so I made this from a speech Obama gave last night. I'm normally not a very political dude but I love speeches about unity and hope, so I've been feeling a lot of the speeches this year. (I also love Public Enemy.)
Holla,

Zshare F'd

Apparently the site that hosts my downloads on this blog has been shut down via lawsuit in order to stop music piracy so none of the download links on this page work as of a few days ago. I'm going to wait and see what happens with zshare and if they are down for good I will re-up through another site when I get a chance. Thanks to all,

Back In The Lower 48

Hey everyone, it's been a minute since I updated the blog, or anything else for that matter, been travelling like a madman the last month. I was on a sabbatical in Europe. Amsterdam, Munich for Oktoberfest and then visited one of my homelands, Prague/Czech Republic. As soon as I got back from Europe I hopped on a plane up to Alaska to spin in Anchorage. Alaska is dope. Great people, beautiful landscape and terrific food. Anyhow, I'm going to get my ish together and update everything this week. Doing 2 shows this weekend in L.A., Friday night at Bar Lubitsch and Saturday night at LAX. Hope to see you all out and about.

Stand Up Toto

Hey there peeps, just got back from a short trip to the Chi, spun at a chill spot called Swig with DJ Once A Month, had a blast. Trying to do the blog more frequently so keep your eyes peeled and as always check the bottom of this post for a free Aristocat related download. It's a little blend I did called Stand Up Toto, this is a b-side that I drop sometimes, it hasn't been on any of my proper mix cd's so it's pretty much exclusive to this site and djcity.com so enjoy it and spread the seed.

In other news, still grinding the axe on the new mixtape. Still spinning gigs in LA so roll through sometime and say hi. I usually do this spot Bar Lubitsch on either Friday or Saturday, play mostly dance/electro/house there so if you're looking to hear the latest T-Pain track you may want to avoid my night there as your requests will not be honored. Also, Happy Birthday Mom! Stay frosty.

Still Working On New Ish...

Hey Everyone, hadn't posted since my cross country road trip to Chicago so I figured I should chime in here with some updates. Still working on the new mix, a.k.a. Aristocat Untitled Mix #8 (no title yet) it's going to be uptempo, more than halfway done and I haven't dipped below 126 BPM's. I've also begun preliminary work on the next mix, I keep saying I want to do 2 mixes a year but this time it may actually happen, now that probably won't mean 2 in the calendar year of 08 but mixes 8 & 9 will be out I have a feeling about 6 months apart, maybe sooner.

The vinyl volume 5 has been put on hold for the moment, still working on a couple of the tracks for that, wasn't happy with where they were so when it's done, it's done.

I want to post a track everytime I post so keep a lookout for outtakes, b-sides, and sometimes cutting room floor junk that I can't bring myself to delete. And in the spirit of nostalgia, here is the first track I ever made on Reason, this is from like 3 years ago, it's a remix of Drop It Like It's Hot, very minimal, dark, never used it for anything.

That's The Chicago Way.

I leave in 5 hours for my cross-country drive from LA to Chicago so I thought, hey, I did a track called LA From Chicago so I might as well post that up. For those who care, yes, this track is all original production and scratching from your's truely and it can be found on the mix cd "A World of My Own" at http://www.djaristocat.com/ in the shop section. (plug). It can also be found as Brian Wittenberg's ringtone from time to time. Now, I must sleep.

P.S. - The photo is from when I drove out to LA way back in 2001, it was taken at The Painted Desert.
