NOAH PRED
When Rayna first invited me to contribute a mix for Modyfier, the idea intrigued me as an opportunity to share a different side of my musical interests. So I endeavored to create an iconoclastic mix, something that would display my varied sophistications - but every attempt turned out wrong: overcooked, underdone, you name it; nothing worth serving to friends or family, let alone the general public. It seemed my ambitions had doomed the mix to failure, toppled by the weight of its own concept. As I forged ahead with other projects, it became apparent that I should go in another direction for Rayna's mix - another direction entirely. I abandoned outright the overwrought notions that were hemming me in and headed in the opposite direction...
The resulting mix was recorded live in those very first infant moments of a new decade, spinning on three decks from 0:00 on January 1, 2010 for the CMKY New Year's Eve in Boulder, Colorado - a raucous event not only amplified by the holiday's festivities, but also by the fact that it was the final event to be held at B-Side, a key venue in the area that had nurtured the nascent (now burgeoning) local electronic scene over the past five years. Veering towards potent party tracks in the best tradition of NYE techno, I hope this mix, loose and wild in parts, captures some of the mania of that night - a packed and sweaty room filed with the haze of the past, hope for the future, and the promise of impending novelty just around the corner: intensity, excitement, a fresh moment for all...

Nice one, thank you!
Great mix Noah! As always.
Wow! It's awesome blog post here....
Thanks for the post, pretty helpful data.
What namely you're saying is a terrible mistake.
This blog post takes us on a fascinating journey through the creative process of a musical artist. It's a testament to the dedication and artistic integrity of the creator who, when faced with the challenge of crafting a unique mix for Modyfier, didn't shy away from experimentation.
The initial quest to create an "iconoclastic mix" highlights the artist's ambition and desire to showcase their multifaceted musical tastes. However, the candid admission of the mix attempts going awry, being "overcooked" or "underdone," adds a relatable human touch to the story. It's a reminder that even seasoned artists encounter creative hurdles.
The pivot in the artist's approach, shedding the constraints of their initial vision, is a crucial moment in the narrative. It's where creativity truly shines, as the resulting live mix, recorded on New Year's Eve, becomes a raw and passionate embodiment of that moment in time. The mention of B-Side, a venue that played a pivotal role in nurturing the local electronic music scene, adds a nostalgic layer to the story.
Ultimately, the mix serves as a testament to the power of music to capture and convey emotions. It's a snapshot of that thrilling night, filled with anticipation and the promise of what the future holds. The description invites the reader to experience the intensity and excitement of that evening, and it beautifully encapsulates the essence of a fresh, musical moment for all to enjoy.
