Recorded: 2026-02-06 | 38 min

A geeky but fun episode about rescuing old mixes from cassettes, MiniDiscs, and random CDs. You walk through the process of transferring, cleaning, normalizing, and sometimes failing miserably, plus the emotional side of hearing sets you barely remember recording.

Behind the Mix: From Dj to Streams

Recorded: 2026-02-13 | 41 min

This episode tracks the jump from deejaying vibes to full online streaming and how the energy changed, what stayed the same, and how it was different. A then-and-now comparison of "being a dj vs a streaming dj."

Recorded: 2026-02-20 | 41 min

Remember tapes that snapped, or got eaten by the deck? This episode digs into the art of rescuing old recordings, tracking down originals, cleaning up noisy audio, and turning something almost lost into a clean master. Nostalgia, problem-solving, and a few saves you are still proud of.

Behind the Mix: Archive Digs & Audio Upgrades

Recorded: 2026-02-27 | 41 min

A crate-digging episode, but for hard drives and storage bins. You dig up old mixes, radio shows, and half-forgotten recordings, then talk about how you re-process, re-encode, and breathe new life into them for the modern listener.

Behind the Mix: Tape-to-CD вЂ“ The Great Conversion

Recorded: 2026-03-06 | 41 min

The long, sometimes tedious, but oddly satisfying mission to move from tape to digital. The switch from cassette tape to CD and the new technology. You walk through the setup, the glitches, the late-night transfer sessions, and the emotional part of hearing the difference in your headphones for the first time.
