Podcast | 11.11 - SESSIONS: with DJ Russ Rich

Hi there disco boys and girls-

This month, I wanted to revisit one of my favorite podcast series - SESSIONS.  I started doing this series because I wanted to collaborate with DJ's I love and respect.  My first podcast was with DJ Brian Maier in January (you can download the podcast here), and this month, I'm working with another amazing guy - DJ Russ Rich.  

Russ and I have a very similar style - we both love vocal, progressive, and upbeat dance music.  I've been fortunate to DJ with Russ quite a few parties together, but I also love hearing him spin.  He has an amazing energy and connection with the crowd, and you can always tell he's enjoying the music just as much as everyone dancing.

The intent of our podcast was to take two hours of T-dance music we both love and create a uplifting journey for you to enjoy.  Everything about our podcast was a team effort.  From the song choices, to the order and the mixing, to even the cover art, this entire project was an amazing collaboration.

As always, you can find my music by subscribing to my podcast on iTunes, or you can download or listen to each mix on Podomatic or Soundcloud.

Without further ado, I present to you:

Podcast | 11.01 - SESSIONS: with DJ Brian Maier

Happy New Year, disco boys and girls!
 
I hope you all had a safe and fun New Year's celebration!  I am excited to release my new podcast - my first collaboration with a fellow DJ!  One of my great friends DJ Brian Maier and I have spun together at Bearracuda in SF last year, and we'll be spinning together again next Saturday January 08, 2011 at Bearracuda's new home of Club 8.  It should be a great night!  Brian will be spinning from 9 PM - Midnight, and I'll be taking us home until 3 AM.

In honor of our upcoming gig, Brian and I wanted to create a podcast that combined our two eclectic sounds, and make a cohesive mix using both styles.  We won't tell you who pulled what songs, but you can trust it's a true and complete collaboration!  I'm excited to share this new and interesting set with you all!
 
As always, you can download my mixes by subscribing to my podcast on iTunes or at www.djcraiggaibler.com.  I have also begun a Soundcloud page to post my DJ sets and edits for folks who don't use iTunes (iLike, aka my "Music" tab on Facebook, has become increasingly unstable, and I will soon no longer support it on my page).  Without further ado, I present to you...
