Bryan Bowers: The Scotsman (PG Steam Beats)

Sure, it's a simple A+B mashup. But I wanted an easy way to toss "The Scotsman" into my mix at Norwescon, and the original's an acapella, so why not add some backing beats from Peter Gabriel's "Steam"?

Recorded live at Norwescon 46: The Thursday Night Fandom Mash

It’s the Thursday night dance! On our first evening venturing Into the Wylde, who knows what manner of fantastical beings we will encounter… or we will be? Mix-and-match from whatever outfits you brought for the weekend to create mashup costumes, or wear something to represent your fandom(s), and come down and dance to a mix of dance tracks across eras, convention favorites, and all manner of mashups and oddities, all brought to you by DJ Wüdi!

This weekend's practice session is now live on Mixcloud. A little darker and gothier, until it gets a little bouncier towards the end, with totally otherwise unconnected nods to St. Paddy's Day at the open and close.

DJ Wüdi's Difficult Listening Hour is about to go live! An eclectic mix of ebm, industrial, goth, electronica, mashups, retro, pop, and whatever randomness I come up with. Best seen on Twitch at http://twitch.tv/djwudi

Yesterday's practice session mix is now live! Honestly? Not my best effort. I blame the damn Daylight Saving Time hangover. These things happen! Still some good tracks in here, even if the order and blending isn't top-rate.

Yesterday's mix is now online! Mostly goth/industrial/EBM-y stuff, but with a couple bits of mashup random silliness to break up the gloom.

The usual unplanned, random selection of whatever seems right in the moment.

After several months of nothing, here we go again! The usual seat-of-my pants randomness. Starts EBM-y, then gets goofy with some mashups, then darker oontz-oontz again to wind it up.

New Mashup!

This is one I’ve had bouncing around in my head for years, knowing it was ridiculous, but all three songs are so similar that I had to give it a shot. Now you get to suffer too! 😉

Why Don’t You Get A Job-La-Di, Cecilia? (Simon & Garfunkel vs. The Beatles vs. The Offspring)

Now you get to suffer too! ;)

New mashup!

I was listening to the Barbie soundtrack, and every time I heard Ava Max's "Choose Your Fighter", my brain just tossed the iconic "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!" yell in. So, I had to see what I could do with that.

Ava Max vs. The ImmortalsJust a silly little idea I had. I don't do these very often, so the quality could probably be better if I had more idea what I was d...

Pre- and post-ceremony background music for the 2023 Student Employee of the Year celebration at Highline College. Much poppier than my usual style, heavily (and welcomely) influenced by suggestions provided to me beforehand by the organizing committee. Thanks to the SEotY committee for inviting me to help with the event!

Had a fun few hours playing tunes for Highline College’s Student Employee of the Year celebration today. Went well! Congratulations to all the students who were nominated and won!

I'll be DJing today for the Highline College Student Employee of the Year celebration! Going to be a bit different from my usual sets, with a lot more modern pop mixed in, but it should be fun helping to celebrate the students here.

I've never really found a good, succinct way to describe my DJ style. While I like a blend of lots of different genres, I naturally gravitate towards a mix of 80's new wave, 90s-current darkwave (in the goth/industrial family, leaning towards artists like VNV Nation, Covenant, etc. rather than the harsher/screamier industrial stuff), synthwave, dance/electronica/house, whatever pop ('80s-current) catches my ear, novelty/parody dance tracks, and mashups.

I'm now pretty sure that my style is best described as "dorkwave". ;)

(The only downside being that nobody would know what that meant, and I'd have to explain it all, so it doesn't really save any time or make things any clearer.)

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Multiverse of Music at Norwescon 45 this weekend! I had a great time playing music and watching everyone having fun out on the dance floor. Fingers crossed, we'll see if I get to come back next year!

Did you miss out on the Thursday night dance at Norwescon? Never fear! All three and a half hours were recorded and are now uploaded to my Mixcloud page!

All set up for the Thursday night dance! Officially starts in about 20 minutes!

Another session of practicing with my mobile setup. Mostly pop/new wave, some electronica, started with the '80s and moved into the '90s. The usual random selections.

03/27/2023

Another session of practicing with my mobile setup. Stuck pretty close to 130 BPM for this set, just pulling some of my particular favorite tracks out.

03/27/2023

From last week: Just a short 30-minute practice set as I get used to using a mobile (laptop-based) setup instead of my home (iMac-based) setup, and to incorporating Beatsource as a track source instead of solely relying on my own library.

A Sunday afternoon practice session from this weekend is now up on MixCloud!

Usually an unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants session where I'm just grabbing whatever seems right in the moment. Almost anything goes.

Okay -- for those of you who are going to Norwescon: The request line is open!

(Well, it's open here in this post and comment thread. Eventually we'll have a form up on the Norwescon website, but we're not quite ready to push that page live just yet.)

What do you want to hear at the Multiverse of Music (NWC45 Thursday Night Dance) (or, really, any of the dances)?

If I have it already, this will make sure I put it in my Norwescon playlist; if I don't have it already, this gives me time to go out and get it!

My usual unplanned, seat-of-the-pants, anything-goes style. Been a few months since I did this regularly, and with Norwescon 45 coming up, it's time to get back into practice!
