The second mix I ever released, originally in 2003 as an mp3 and on CDR audio in 2004.
Like Rat Poison, this was born from a live routine I had started on CD tables. Also like Rat Poison, sharing this mix helped me land the one and only professional DJ mix album release I would undertake. That happened in the Spring of 2003 and it was called “Merck Mix 1” — more on that later…
I’ve remastered this mix in 2022 to address some engineering shortfalls from 2003 when I was only beginning to understand that audio production choices matter. Here is the tracklist:
- squarepusher – rustic raver
- squarepusher – i wish you could talk
- plug – a subtle blend
- klute – three of us
- lamb – little things (klute remix)
- we – vulpecula
- squarepusher – do you know
- nightmares on wax – date with destiny
- congo natty – bladerunner b1
- squarepusher – mask500
- klute – splendor
- beaumont hannant – psi onyx (autechre remix)
- afx – arched maid via rdj
- boards of canada – 1969
- ozomatli – dos cosas ciertas
- asian dub foundation – culture move (adf vs mc navigator dub)
- prefuse 73 – love you bring
- palmskin productions – the beast (autechre remix)
- def leppard – pour some sugar on me
- arcon 2 – the beckoning
