I put this breakbeat mixset together for a last minute event that went down on Friday March 31st 2012. So far there has been nothing but positive responses to it and I hope you check it out and Enjo! as well. - DJ_Jon_Doe
Ok folks, Here's my 1st official mix of the new year & it was recorded Live @ Keep On Truckin On New Years Day - 2012.
This year I'm challanging myself to create a new mix & to produce an original track for every month of the comming new year. This 1 should take care of the January mix because it was done after midnight on N.Y.E. but I'll have to see how the progress on the track goes before I make up my mind as to if this 1 counts or not, so stay tuned & as always - Enjo!
Here's my pre-midnight 100% all Vinyl Dj Mixset recorded Live @ Countdown To The End Of The World on New Years Eve 2011~2012. Hope ya Check it out & as always - Enjo!
I just started messing around with some of my older trax & a few of my new jams today. Thankfully I had hit record before I got started & was able to capture a lil mix magic.
This is the DJ set I did last time I went to the SXSW (South By SouthWest) Music fest in Austin Tx. I was booked on the rooftop @ Light Bar along with a copule of the Spundae Guys & I was the closer for the evening. This is what went down so check it out & as always Enjo!
P.S. Big Up's to DJ Luna (seen in pic w/me) for organizing the event, everyone I spoke with afterwards all said they had 1 hell of a good time.
DJ_Jon_Doe - Doin Some Favors For My Friends (Special House-Sitting Mix) -10.1.11
I did this mix as a favor to my friend Matt (who had asked me for a mix with some of the stuff that I used to play when I had my residency @ the Velvet Hookah in Dallas) during an impromptu house party I did not mean to throw, but that just kinda occurred when I was house-sitting this past weekend. Now my plan was to only invite a couple of girls over keep me company and listen to some records while I had access to my friend (well just call him -J-) -J-s house. I thought these women understood what the deal, but for some reason they could not keep it simple and instead decided to bring a whole entourage with them, so now rather than sharing something small and intimate - it began with -Who the hell are all these people.- Then of course, as these people were on the way over, they just had to call just 1 or 2 people because no one would notice or mind if a couple of more people tagged along. So without even meaning to or trying we were about 20-24 people deep in under 1/2 an hour, that was when I had to put my foot down. I told everyone to call anyone who WAS NOT there - right then and tell them to turn around cause it was not happening. Then I said DO NOT call anyone else and just turn their phones OFF. I told them if they could follow these couple of simple rules and not wreck the house then they could stay for a little while. That is when I started the recorder, began spinning and here is a lil chunk of what went down. Hope ya like it and as always Enjo!
PS - Everyone was cool and my friend -J- didnt have a clue anything had even happened when he got back last night.
I made the 100% all vinyl mix the other night @ a friends house party & it's not quite an exclusively techno, glitch, fidget or tech-house mix. Instead it kinda skates around the edges where these genre's rub up against one another with plenty of acid to help grease the wheels. So I hope ya give it a listen & if ya like it gimme some feedback on it. Thanks & as always - Enjo!
DJ_Jon_Doe - All Of My Jazz Is So Sexy and Fine With those Syncopated Rhythms That Swing Out Of Time - 2011
I put this Jazzy House mix together from some of the 728 new pieces of wax that ive added to my collection this year (so far).
Hope ya check it out and as always - Enjo!
This is a 100% all Vinyl mix of Funky Nevo-Soul with some Dub-E~Break~Step sprinkles that I call - A Post Relationship Self-Destruct Sequence_Code Name - Off Into The Deep End.
Here's my advice for when a relationship has run it's course -
Don't throw yourself a pity party for one because 1.) You won't yourself drive off the deep end @ top speed & 2.) No one else wants to hear that mess all day everyday.
Instead Ya gotta 1.) Try to understand it wasn't meant to be (without focusing on the 'why' aspect too hard), 2.) Gather up your game pieces & 3.) Go out-n-find someone who's gameboard werks even better with your game pieces on it!
I made this to be a Free Give-A-Way Mix so that I could surprise my friends with a gift from them on my 40th B Day. This was a Pre-Party Mix Project for my Birthday 2011. Hope ya Enjo!

DJ_Jon_Doe - Damn! Your Scruffy Looking Beasts Ate All My Pot Brownies - (They were consumed In The Short Amount Of Time I Was Working On This Mix Project)
This was my opening # @ the Kansas City Electro Music Fest that happened back on July 22-24th 2011. I played this and 9 other original tunes from the funkiest of house to Breaks-n- Electro and on over to DnB with a couple of surprises thrown in just cause.
Now as far as this track goes it took me over 8 hours to get that piano line just right. That is why I went with the stripped down style mix so that nothing would detract from it. Hope ya like it and as always - Enjo! DJ_Jon_Doe
My boy Binks asked me for this mix a couple of months ago, so after a short vacation & a bout with a cold I finally got around to doin it. It's a lil D&B mix & he picked out most of the trax for it, so he best enjo! it cause I'm not re-do'n it. I got a Dubstep mix request to crank out now so I'll be werkin on that until I get that finished up.
Just wanted to make sure I was "Feelin it". It only took a minute or 2 & I knew it was on! This was a lil Pre-Party Warmup mix I did before my 1st of 2 sets Live on NYE 2010~2011. Enjo!
DJ Jon Doe back again with another Dark D&B mix I did back when almost everyone else who was into the D&B scene around here was listening to or playing Jump-up & only Jump-up (not that there is anything wrong with that or anything), but enough about all that & as always - Enjo!
Here's a portion of a live mix I did @ this bar in Dallas called Monkey Bar. I just found out a friend of mine who used to work there had a set up to record the DJ sets & that's how I got my hands on this lil' gem. It's a swingin house set & hope y'all Enjo!
As another turkey day draws near I find myself pondering what I've got to be thankful for this year & this is what I've got on the list as of now; Music, Friends, Family & The good times I've shared with some supa hot moms.
I designed this mix for them, but it goes out to all the hot moms everywhere. So Thank you ladies (you know who you are) & Enjo!
Last time DJ Kiki & I had the opportunity to throw down head-2-head on a 4 deck setup was in the spring of 2008 & this is what went down! It's a multi styled house mix that's infused with a few surprise twists-n-curve just when ya need'em. Also - In case your were wondering, No _ we didn't discuss/plan/or set up da order of our trax-n-stuff ahead of time or anything like that.
That's because we already knew that we only needed 3 things & we had’em all in vast quantities! Those 3 items were;
#1) Our confidence in our communication skills (soooooo very important when undertaking a task such as this - otherwise it's truly you vs. the other DJ which ends up in a futile attempt to control chaos & I've NEVER seen it work to get/keep/or win a crowd over in the end),
#2) To bring about every bonus beat~beat loop 12, accapellas, trax of just music & regular songs we thought we'd wanna or get to work into the mix (cause it's all about da give & take - ya gotta be able to accent & highlight one another whenever your not the one behind the wheel because conflicting vocals, baselines that step all over each other & sour beats will all just wind up sounding like "Boots in the dryer"_ [TM-trademarked _ but if ya ask I'll let'cha use it],
& #3) All that + our uncanny ability to not only know what trax we were gonna be playing 2-3 or 4 records ahead of where we were in the mix - we could just sense/feel/understand {whatever ya wanna call it} what the other was settin up 2 be doin that far in advance as well.
So we just stepped up, let loose with the POWER & claimed the GLORY that we'd created!
P.S. Yes, there were a couple of minor slips that were caught-n-corrected before they got away from us to become noticeable, but hey! That's cause it's @ a live performance & besides if your gonna Mixmaster PC any piece/part/or section of anything proclaimed as "live", Well kid - you ain't playin your just perpetrating.
So to everyone who checks this mix out - Enjo!
Whazup Whazup everybody, Well here I am back with the 2nd ½ of my Live @ Conspiracy Warehouse on Hell-o-ween mix & if side 1 got you warmed up but not quite “all the way there” worry not because here on side 2 you’ll have time to that complete adventure of your on before bringing ya back home so that your ready to flip it back to side 1 & start off on yet another adventure. As I stated above this is the 2nd ½ of my set that was recorded live @ Conspiracy Warehouse on Halloween night a couple of years ago.
Once again, I urge you to please use caution when/where you’re gonna be blasting this mix as it can & will frighten small children, produce feelings of dread-n-panic in most people no matter their age(s), upset + unnerve otherwise normally tame house pets as well as other animals & it also has the potential to give your grandparents unspeakably horrible nightmares.
As always, I hope this is another mix of mine that everyone will check out-n-truly Enjo!
