Gagarin Project is the international project that has evolved from the ideas of conscious living, kindness and love to other humans, our brothers and sisters. Moreover it’s activity is greatly inspired by the values and traditions of ancient civilisations, universal principles of love, natural and healthy lifestyle. Nowadays the main artistic realization is centered around live dj mixes combining the music produced by good friends and many other interesting musicians from all over the world. With their music, Gagarin Project try to raise awareness of listeners throughout careful selection of tracks and soft introduction of voice messages recorded for that purpose. Despite a strong involvement in promotion of psychedelic downtempo music, the live sets are not limited to a certain genre, juggling between ambient, modern psychedelic bass music and trance techno grooves. Apart from performing as the collective of artists, Gagarin Project is highly involved into developement of psybient.org project, a web media dedicated to promotion of quality downtempo / midtempo music and events. The project headquarter is currently located in Paris. The team loves to play for people and share its passion with people, and had a chance to play at the biggest festivals all over the Europe (S.U.N. , Psy-Fi, Hadra, Nowhere and Waveform). At the same time Gagarin Project team often organises regular events in Paris based on participation and sharing. you can read more about us here => http://www.gagarinproject.org/about/ and listen to our work online http://soundcloud.com/gagarinproject or http://mixcloud.com/gagarinproject/ With love,

found this facebook group for psy producers https://www.facebook.com/groups/201414789912829 i believe that forum are more adapted for this kind of discussions (history, search), but it still might be useful for some of us. They do have good discussions there.

since young age i was impressed by turntabilist / scratchers skills. Don't remember any psy downtempo mix with a pronounced scratching involved. have a look at this 1990 video of a guy scratcing on tape recorded here is nice video of old school world dmc championship

i imagine that you fix audiolevel on the "low volume" part of the mix? i heard there are plugins that will automatically "maximize" the volume of audio, but i am concerned if it won't change the dynamic of the mix.

Maybe it is not the pro way to do it, but in this way i do feel that i am creating something that is listener friendly. I've seen some other people around me doing and created my own approach. Being probably the biggest consumer of my mixes, i like them to look "nice" on my audio players. I am sharing the technical aspect of creating DJ mix, the "legally" proper way is to contact each of the artist/labels and ask them for permission to use a track in dj mix. Well i guess 99% of dj's in internet don't do it and i am one of those. Actually most of the time if you provide proper credits (information about track-list) most of the artist will thank you for promoting what their music. Creating of mix and archive file Recording a mix (following an idea or experimenting, track pre-selection or improvisation) Checking the mix (i do not like to re-record mixes, but sometimes is necessary) Intro / Outro - fade in / fade out (to make it smooth) (optional) mastering. ( i am not doing it, but i know some people do it). Here is discussion on this subject. Giving the name to the mix Track-list (i think this is a mandatory for all the mixes that are released to public, dj's must give credits to all the artist tracks they use) Basic mix info to the text file Cover art creation (i usually use a creative commons licensed images and i edit them in photoshop) (optional) i create a .cue file.This file is useful when you record a mix to CD, as it give the information to cd recording program about the track length. This way when mix is recorded to CD you can skip tracks. This .cue file will allow to skip tracks when you use some of the software audio players on your computers. put everything to a folder (audio file + text file + cover art file + cue) Preparing mp3 file to online / offline sharing As I record my mixes to the wave format, i keep the lossless version of file for archive (i convert them to Apple lossless format, but FLAC, AIFF can do the job as good). Then I convert it to mp3 (320 kbps). This file will be uploaded. using Itunes i add all tags: artist, name, year, style etc (see screenshot) a add cover art i add track-list to lyrics field (see screenshot) i name the mp3 file properly (something like this Gagarin_Project_-_32_-_Cosmic_Awakening_-_10_-_Earth.mp3).Adding number to the mix allow me to keep them sorted if they are stored in one folder) adding "underlines" instead of spaces can be useful when you upload files. (this allow to view all this information on some audio players, for instance the track-list can be easily visible by ipod/iphone). It also help for people to identify the author of the mix. if i want to make mix publicly available i will upload it to online streaming services (soundcoud and mixcloud) and will share share it to groups on soundcloud and facebook. you can look here the example of a folder with all files => http://www.gagarinproject.org/download-our-mixes/ Last but not least, i think dj's shall support/buy the music they mix, listeners shall support/buy original artists. Let me know if it was interesting / useful for you to read p.s. This workflow might sounds complex, well i do it like this. p.p.s.

i mean after the mix is done, do you process it with audio editing software? Is it all about putting levels up or there are other advantages? A for now, i have never done it for my mixes.

Jonathan, i have also participated in Vipassana retreats and these experiences are indeed very beneficial to me till now.
