Greetings Steemit,

I've shared a few of my DJ mixes in the past here with you fine Steemians - but I'm not sure that I've ever shared a video showing what I do during my DJ performances. I started 17+ years ago on Two Turntables & Microphone, upgraded years later to CDJs, and then transitioned into the Live PA/Midi community a few years back.

Discovering a host of new buttons to play with on this setup - I'm no longer content standing around waiting for anything to happen musically on the track - now its all about making Live music while mixing DJ tracks.

So here's me messing around at home last year. I was playing a 'Metric' track called 'Terminus', when I switched over from Traktor (DJ software) to Maschine (Live PA) and started jamming along.

Posting on the heels of my set this pending weekend, the first booking I've accepted in over a year. Admittedly part of me is nervous to play again after proclaiming DJ retirement a year ago, and part of me realizes that after 17 years in the biz - I can still mix any genre by ear, on any device. I also have 2 kick ass sets prepared that have not been played out in front of people before - so it should be fine. I'll certainly be blogging about it upon return.

But until then.. here's GiftedGaia's other alias... DJ PHI... in his element. Hope you enjoy!
