  There’s something about soundtracks. Perhaps it’s their humility. DJ Maurizio Merli has compiled a 54 song mix of just soundtrack cuts. Have a martini. Enjoy.

        Riding on the train on my way to the Dream House to meet up with Lil Hermano. Listening to this here The Diamond Age mix. I think he's struck gold (again) on this one. A good mix of melodic psychedelia and kraut rock jams that all feel very alive and relevant. I didn't know I was waiting for these sounds, but suddenly here they are. I've been meditating a little lately on what role music func Read More...

        Ecstatic to shout from the internet rooftops that I have an album coming out in less than a month! Onze Pedras will hit the world on September 14th, 2010. I think I'm safe in saying that I've never worked on anything so intensely in my life. I collaborated with seven of my favorite musicians on the planet, recording in New York, Tokyo, Dallas, and Chicago. I also had the incredible good fort Read More...

        There are a couple of DJ nights coming up this week that I wanted to tell you guys about. One is here in Brooklyn, and the other is in Dallas. Both nights are gonna feature Reggae music so I thought it might be a good opportunity to share some thoughts on Reggae that have been bouncing around in my head for a while now. I feel like a lot of folks don't "get" Reggae, but I really believe that Read More...

        Things are heating up around here figuratively speaking. Lots going on. First things first. As we've come to expect, Matt's new mix is the jam. A little reminiscent of his Catacombs Mix . The quality that stands out for me the most when listening to this mix is how transportive it is. It feels like something larger is at hand. I sent out a big year-end email to a lot of folks a few w Read More...

        I'm not sure if Señor Edad del Diamente had me in mind when put together this double disk mix. Maybe he was trying to help me survive my first couple months of life in my new environs. Or perhaps these were just the tracks he was digging lately. Regardless, this mix is the fucking jam. I've been playing this shit non-stop. That Gareth Williams track... the Family Fodder track...

        Once upon commenting on how large my friend Drew's record collection was he said something about wanting to have the right music for whatever the occasion was. I like that idea: that life can be enhanced by the music that we surround ourselves with, and, conversely, that music can be more meaningful when played at the right moment. The Diamond Age's new mix is made up of music mostly from Read More...

        I think my favorite mixes keep in mind the idea of narrative. If they really do it right, they'll place you in a location and move you through from one place to the next. There's a cadence to it. There's a language. There's a logic. On the other side of it, there is a commitment from the listener. You gotta pay attention. You gotta trust. You gotta listen. And of course, there's a payoff if everyb Read More...

        The Diamond Age has assembled another set of angular picks. I'm not sure where they fall or how to summarize. I wish I were a little more adept at describing music. It would make this whole "music blog deal" I got going so much easier. But practice makes perfect, right? Just flex that part of my brain and words will comes out eventually. This mix hits me in a different spot depending on if I'm rea Read More...
        
        You and Me and the Rest of Us
        
        June 17th, 2008
        
        I think the new mix by the Diamond Age, YOU AND ME AND THE REST OF US, is probably his best to date. It holds together remarkably well, especially considering the focus is psychedelic rock. Not the easiest genre with which to put together a cohesive mix. As I mentioned in my last post, I've got gig a tonight and next Tuesday doing video projections for Jeff Parker's Trio at Rodan. This came abo Read More...

        Hey Internet. For the record: The Diamond Age = Mix Master Machine. An inspiration to us all. He did this mix live which is what we all should be doing. It's more rock infused than most of other mixes up here. Check it out. It's getting to be cold in Chicago. I don't like it one bit. The only good thing about winter is clementines are in season. Oh and I can wear hats, which kinda keeps my hair Read More...

        Holy shit. The Diamond Age kicked out another one. I think it's his best yet. Some serious thought put into the choice of tracks and transitions. Setting the bar high for the rest of us. Man, I gotta get my act together and put together another mix. By the way, the zip file is broken up into 4 parts and also includes a playlist. Made it too NYC last weekend in support of Who Cares How Long You Read More...

        Two mixes for you all by The Diamond Age and Erik Westra. [Editor's note: I broke these two mixes into different posts with the new format but you can find Erik's mix here.] Both zip files include a playlist of the tracks. The Diamond Age totally gets a big gold star by his name for knocking out a second mix for Bird and Whale. Mr. Westra's mix is one mix in 4 "movements" with a total of 17 trac Read More...

        A mix by The Diamond Age to celebrate the inauguration of Bird and Whale. It's entitled "No Love Lost Mix". The Diamond Age was the first to answer the call by Bird and Whale to put together a mix. For that I am eternally grateful. (People keep on complimenting me on my "No Love Lost Mix". This mix is not by me. It's by The Diamond Age. DIAMOND AGE - No Love Lost Mix: Sonny Boy William Read More...
