DJD AT NIGHT


"DJD AT NIGHT" get it's name from an old time favourite song of mine, "AT NIGHT" The song has been remixed in 2008 and the outcome was great!
There is also GREAT remixes of "LOLA's THEME", "SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE" and "CHILDREN" by Robert Miles. And again, all these remixes are from 2008! It's a very funky mix. Lots of Vocal and quite heavy Electro right in the middle of the mix, but only in one song and then the mix have a great uplift again.

BRING IT ON DJD


BRING IT ON DJD is one of my favourite mixes. It’s very upbeat and reminds me of dancing the night away at around 6am in the morning in an afterhour’s club. It has great rhythm and it’s great for dancing. The name, “BRING IT ON DJD” came from all the requests I had to do more mixes. I originally decided to do one mix per month, but I ended up doing THREE in October! The finale song, a remix of ENERGY 52 is GREAT!!!

DJD VOCAL


Now this is the one mix which I don’t think is ME! I thought it’s time to experiment a little. Listening to a lot of mixes by other DJ’s and especially those once who are highest on the charts... this was the type of music they were using. So I thought, let’s give it go! I don’t consider it my best work, because I don’t feel that I have put my heart and sole into it. However... the response was good and I have tried something different. Every single tune in this mix have vocal in, so this is where the mix got it’s name from, “DJD VOCAL”

THE DJD LOGO



I didn’t have the DJD logo right from the beginning, but I had the idea for it for YEARS!!! I have a tattoo on my back of a D in a SUPERMAN sign, “SUPER D” which comes from my real name, DEWALD. I got the tattoo when I was 27 years old and I always said that the day I become a DJ I will incorporate the DJ in my tattoo design and that will be my LOGO and also my DJ name. So, with a very basic program, PAINT on WINDOWS, I managed to draw up the rough design and this is where my interior architectural designing skills finally paid off! The first sketch was a very rough drawing on paint, then it all got measured out and then it got passed on to SAAR MAOZ who was the APPLE DESIGN EXPERT who put it all together for me. And trust me, it was not a one attempt. It was very difficult to get on the screen what I have in my head and we communicated over email. We never actually sat down together to work on it. But with about 50 emails send back and forth.... we got the end result, the DJD LOGO! Although I was just never happy, because it had to be BETTER than perfect, I really like the design. So, I am happy and poor Saar is stuck in a mental institution for the rest of his life, because I drove him NUTS!!! Thanks Saar for all your trouble. Will come and visit you in hospital over Christmas, LOL

THE WORLD OF DJD


THE WORLD OF DJD was inspired by one of my all time Favourite DAVID GUETTA songs, “THE WORLD IS MINE” It was released in 2004, but even up until today I LOVE that track!
Now it was time to get really serious so I went out and spend a small fortune on proper DJ equipment. So with all my new gear I started playing with the music a little bit more and I mixed in an intro for “THE WORLD IS MINE”
So I guess it’s no secret where this mix gets it’s name from.... “THE WORLD OF DJD”

ULTIMATE DJD


The third mix was not called “ULTIMATE DJD” originally. It was called “ABSOLUT DJD” and the artwork was of a ABSOLUT VODKA ad, but it was time to get serious and I strike a deal with ITUNES, but they could not accept the artwork of the mix, so it needed to be changed. Although I was quite sad to change the name and the artwork, it had to be done.
So the new name became “ULTIMATE DJD”
This mix also have a great mash up of “PJANOO” and
“4 MINUTES TO SAVE THE WORLD” in and it’s called “4 MIN OF PJANOO” It was produced by my very good friend DJ SUPERSEIYA.

THE SOUND OF DJD


The second mix is called "THE SOUND OF DJD" However... this was not the original name of this mix. I was inspired by my all time favourite Dj, DAVID GUETTA. Now DJ DAVID GUETTA have a record lable that is called:

"F*** ME, I'M FAMOUS!" As this was my second podcast I told my friends that one day, I will be famous, but as I was not famous yet and as David Guetta was the inspiration for the mix, the original mix's name was:

"F*** ME, I'M NEARLY FAMOUS!" However.... I had to change the name due to legal reasons. So it the mix got re-christened to "THE SOUND OF DJD" The finale song of this mix is one of David Guetta's brilliant tunes, "LOVE IS GONE"

THE RHYTHM OF DJD


THE RHYTHM OF DJD is my very first podcast. After being in Ibiza in June 2008 I was inspired by all the great remixes from the early 2000's. Songs like "Miracle", "Rhythm is a Dancer" and New releases such as "Shine on Me" The choice to mix with was so great that it was almost very wrong NOT too, so I got on decks (virtual decks on a computer program) and started mixing and after many attempts and weeks of practicing.... I created "THE RHYTHM OF DJD"
