dj non sequitur.

So I have a little crush on Mitchell Niemeyer.

2012-02-19T19:06:00.000-08:00

Yunno who he is? He made this track:

I dig it. It's dark. It's dirty. And yunno why I have a crush on him? Because he looks like this:

Yeah. Come to America plz! :)

EPR/Love and how much it sucks/Songs about love and how much it sucks

2012-02-14T11:31:00.000-08:00

Happy &%$#*!@ Valentine’s Day everyone! I’m really not very enthusiastic about this occasion. At least I didn’t get dumped just days before this awful holiday this year, unlike several years in the past! There’s an up-side to everything, I guess? Yeah, whatever. Love sucks. Boys suck. Bah humbug,

ANYWAY, tomorrow night, I’m playing at the Bloody Valentine edition of Electro Pop Rocks featuring Doorly and my friends Eric Sharp and DRRN. It's DRRN's birthday! Woo! I will probably be wearing some amount of fake blood. I’m not sure if I’m going to cover myself with the stuff, but I feel that at least a little is necessary.

There are a couple of songs that I’ve had on repeat lately. One is about love and how great it is, and the other is about how much it sucks when it goes wrong.

First up, I have Ken-C’s remix of “Love You Like A Love Song” by Selena Gomez (yes, Selena Gomez. Don’t laugh before you give it a listen).

Ken-C (who’s actually a Bay Area local who has migrated to So Cal) turns it from a sappy little Disney piece of crap that only the likes of Justin Bieber’s girlfriend would sing, into an electro rave power anthem. I dig.

Second, I have a remix of Gotye’s “Somebody I Used to Know” by some guy/guys called 4FRNT. Now. I have NO IDEA who these guys are. I can’t find anything about them anywhere. I can’t even find this song for sale or download anywhere. They have a Facebook fan page with nothing on it. Who are they?!?! This remix is SO. GOOD. I find it especially relevant because when I first heard it, I felt like I was singing Kimbra’s part with regards to the most recent asshole to break my heart. Boo hoo. Check it out:

If you know anything about 4FRNT, tell me! Comment! Post it on my Facebook! SOMETHING! Who knows, maybe they’ll show up at a future EPR if I can find these people...

CAZZETTE this Thursday at TORQ!!!!

2012-01-24T19:31:00.000-08:00

So guess what, everybody? I'm playing with Cazzette this Thursday at TORQ at Ruby Skye!

I'm really surprised I haven't blogged about them yet. They broke onto the scene with some amazing remixes of songs you know and love, like Avicii's "Sweet Dreams." Amazing!

PREVIEW Avicii - Sweet Dreams (CAZZETTE meet AT NIGHT Mix) by Cazzette

Just before the new year, the Swedish duo released another Avicii remix, this time of "Levels." Check out a preview!

AVICII - LEVELS (CAZZETTE NYC MODE RADIO EDIT) by Cazzette

So if you want to see me pwn the dance floor with these guys this Thursday, you should definitely sign up for my guest list to get in for just $10 before 10:30. Don't forget to check my name! ^_^

I think I might even premiere my new track "Flattery" on Thursday as well. Or maybe on Wednesday at Electro Pop Rocks with Harvard Bass if the mood so strikes me. We'll see. So excited!

Update of updates!

2012-01-15T14:12:00.000-08:00

So. I've fallen off the bandwagon. I haven't updated since November! What happened?!?!?!? Well...stuff happened. You know how it goes. So.

Since my last update, lotsa stuff happened. First off, my first Beatport release came out on Thanksgiving. My remix of Kid Wobble's "Crazy Pills" came out on Mizumo Music, and you can buy that on Beatport!

Also, I just finished a track called "Flattery." Here it is:

I'm compiling an EP that will include this track, my track "Moon," and a third track that I have yet to finish. Woo! That'll be fun.

Hopefully, I will be able to update more often with more fun stuff. Until next time...

Darth & Vader/Electro Fright Rocks w/ AC Slater!!

2011-10-25T10:53:00.000-07:00

So once upon a time, a friend showed me this track, and I played it at my then-upcoming show at Temple. AND IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING.

I've always been a Darth & Vader fan. They broke onto the scene with a Perfect Cell remix, and established themselves as amazing producers with their remix of Freefire's "Dataloss." I heard this song EVERYWHERE for months, and I still never got tired of it ^_^

Freefire - Dataloss (Darth & Vader Remix) by Darth & Vader

Now, they're teasing us all with a *preview* or their killer remix of "Prutataa" by Afrojack and R3hab. RELEASE IT ALREADY!!!

Afrojack & R3hab - Prutataaa (Darth & Vader Remix) Official Remix [PREVIEW] by Darth & Vader

But *fortunately* I don't have to wait until they decide to release it...yunno why? BECAUSE I'M PLAYING WITH THEM TOMORROW AT ELECTRO FRIGHT ROCKS WITH AC SLATER. HA.

It'll be extra awesome because I'll be performing as my spooky alter ego, DEAD SEQUITUR. Be ready. Come in costume. Prepare to have the pants scared off of ya.

Lovevolution, New track "Moon" with free download!!!

2011-09-25T08:54:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! Whew, yesterday was quite a day. I played at Lovevolution on the Electro Pop Rockin' Skill's float! Thanks to my EPR and Skills boys, the production was absolutely off the chain. We debuted our new LED DJ booth (that I lovingly named Bootha 3000. Well, Josh came up with the name Bootha, I added the 3000). It looked SO COOL! We had the badassest float. Not to brag. But. We did. >.<

The other crews brought it too! My friends over at Bay Area Entertainment and Pixel Porn had their first floats this year. Good job, guys!

I premiered my new track, "Moon," during my set yesterday. It was kinda epic. I think people liked it. This track has been getting a great response from friends and fans alike. Check it out! You can download it straight from the player for free!

Also, if you haven't gotten a chance to check out my Lovevolution promo mix, you definitely should. It features my remix of "Crazy Pills," as well as an intro telling you how to pronounce and spell my name! Because people keep getting it wrong! Tsk tsk. Behold:

Now, I head back into the studio. I'm really going to try to get an EP out late this year/early next year. I can do it!!

ok it's here: my lovevolution 2011 promo mix!

2011-09-10T12:44:00.000-07:00

LOVEPARADELUTIONFEST WHATEVER! 2011!

2011-09-07T17:54:00.000-07:00

SO. Guess what? I'm playing at Lovevolution. Not only am I playing at Lovevolution, but I'm playing on the main float, the Electro Pop Rockin' Skills Float!!! Not only am I playing on the main float, I'm playing on the main float with Moby, Markus Schulz, Gareth Emery, and Blake Jarrell.

SOFA KING COOL.

Here's the flyer!

Yaaaaaaaa!

I'm also putting the finishing touches on my Lovevolution Promo mix. I should have it done by this weekend. Speaking of this weekend, I'm playing at the Color War Day Party at the Berkeley Marina. Everybody should come. EVERYBODY.

dilemn + the clamps.

2011-08-19T17:00:00.000-07:00

SO. I really like Dilemn. He's always been one of my favorite producers. He's dirty and gritty, just the way I like it. For his most recent release "Audio Control," he paired up with The Clamps, who I had personally not yet heard of. But alas, I am impressed! They've made a new fan. It's a 2-track EP. The title track is quite catchy and surely a dancefloor killer, but I really feel like the other track, "Got U" totally steals the show. It's dirtier. And darker. Just the way I like it.

Czech it out. Here are some previews:

Dilemn & The Clamps - Audio Control by Dilemn

Dilemn & The Clamps - Got U [Burn The Fire Records] by The Clamps

Aaaaaaaand if you really like it, peep it on Beatport.

I also cross-posted this entry to B33's blog. Twofer!

my first official release!!!

2011-08-11T10:50:00.000-07:00

So the time has come. I shall have a remix released on an ACTUAL label! Not just your buddy's label based in his garage...an actual record label with hundreds of releases on Beatport!

DJ Denise is a good friend of mine, and I entered her remix contest back in March. Even though I didn't win, she still gave me an opportunity to remix Kid Wobble's track "Crazy Pillz." So I did it! And I just got word yesterday that she wants to release it on her label, Mizumo Music! Yay! It should be out sometime in October. Why so far???

Check out a preview here:

all that she wants (is a song title that makes you lol)

2011-07-18T17:44:00.000-07:00

MOOMBAHTON. You know, moombahton! That hot new thing that's not dubstep? Yeah, that.

I like it. Mostly because a) it reminds me of EDC (tee hee heeee) and b) it's a hot new trend that doesn't make my ears explode like dubstep does (I guess some people like the explodey ear thing...)

ANYWAY, so this track showed up in my feed on Soundcloud, the the title literally made me laugh out loud. I present to you an Ace of Base Remix by some guy named Baan. I like it.

SPEAKING OF ACE OF BASE...I made this.

LAZER CATS....

2011-07-17T21:50:00.000-07:00

?

Zen Compound Radio Show!

2011-07-16T12:15:00.000-07:00

So first off, I've decided to start capitalizing things because I suppose that maybe some people critique my intelligence on whether or not I capitalize the first letters of sentences and proper nouns. I believe this is an inaccurate way to determine someone's intelligence, let alone musical talent, BUT WHATEVER.

In other news, last night I was featured on Temple SF's online radio show, Zen Compound! I did a 2 hour mix, and it's really great. You can listen to it here: Non Sequitur's Really Great Radio Show On Zen Compound FM.

You could also listen to it from here:

Non Sequitur. Live at ZCFM by Zencompoundfm on Mixcloud

But then you wouldn't get the *full effect* or something.

z-listers are pretty great.

2011-07-15T12:06:00.000-07:00

so it's no secret. i love z-listers. they're weird and dark and loud, just how i like it. they remind me of what it would sound like if the weird dark alt-metal bands that i used to love when i was 16 decided to produce electro instead. and that's funny because that's exactly what circuit freq did. ha!

so yeah, they decided to upload this pretty cool remix and give it away for free (!!!!), so i figured i'd share it with y'all. you can bet this track will be in my next set. yay!

i guess i could also let you in on my little audio-crush on neon stereo, who remixed z-listers' track "tweak & repeat." here's that one:

i've already played this out. i love it so much! weird and dark and chordy...and loud, don't forget loud...

anyway,

2011-07-05T06:00:00.001-07:00

so i finished this track that i've been working on for almost 2 years.

i first laid down this melody in garageband right when i was starting to think about producing, and it sat on my hard drive untouched for several months. then once i got logic, i messed around with it, and it sounded like music made on a keyboard from costco. THEN i eventually tried to finish it when i realized, "hey, i could probably make it not sound like it was made on a keyboard from costco now." and there it was.

and here it is.

things lately, busy-ness, feed me show!

2011-06-17T13:28:00.000-07:00

Whew! What a week...

So as you already know, I played with Feed Me last week! That was so fun! He's a very nice fellow. He speaks very good English and is quite charming. We had matching shirts.

I played my new track, "Intergalactic", and it was so neet to hear my music on Ruby Skye's amazing sound system! People seemed to like it. It made me feel kinda cool ^_^

All of this was only after playing at Electro Pop Rocks on the previous night. We had just moved to a new venue, 715 Harrison Street. Bigger and better than 525.

And then on friday, i played at Merry Making at Supperclub. Fun stuff.

Then this past Wednesday I played at EPR again for our 3 year anniversary, and then Phonic at the EndUp last night. Whew! I'm not used to this popularity...but it's most definitely flattering :)

For the time being, I don't really know what's next, aside from EPR every Wednesday, as usual. Any ideas? :D

new track - intergalactic!

2011-06-15T15:17:00.000-07:00

yeah, i made it. czech it out.

I'M PLAYING WITH FEED ME.

2011-05-04T12:39:00.000-07:00

yep. behold:

June 9th at SF's famous Ruby Skye!

With supporting acts John Beaver, K Theory, and me! And 414 lounge: Rudebrat, Luke Nukem, Sublock, and Bassex.

i get to play my tracks on that awesome sound system. woooooot!

bass down low remix!

2011-04-23T07:42:00.000-07:00

soooo yunno that song by DEV called "bass down low?" and how she says that "i like my beats fast, and my bass down low," but the beats aren't really that fast? well, maybe compared to a lot of hip hop that's like...90 bpm...but...it's not really that fast...

WELL. i remixed it. and the beats are faster. and the bass might not be much lower, but it's definitely louder. and meaner.

hate to toot my own horn, but this track makes me wanna start a mosh pit.

so go listen to it and openly praise my awesomeness.

porter robinson is a total fox.

2011-03-11T15:52:00.000-08:00

there. i said it. and he makes some dirty beats.

i ran across his remix of innerpartysystem's "american trash" and i fucking loved it. the original is such a great song, plus it's totally true (lol). here 'tis:

Innerpartysystem - American Trash (Porter Robinson Remix) by Porter Robinson

go buy it on beatport.

i also really dig his re-edit of this track:

Porter Robinson - I'm On Fire by Porter Robinson

he doesn't have the re-edit itself on his soundcloud, and i don't wanna link it for free because i think that's rather gauche. but that one has a nice breakbeat behind it, and you all know how i feel about breaks :)

yeah, he has some good shit. check him out.

and he's hot. someone give him my number.

quick and easy way to my heart? remix nine inch nails. DUH!

2011-03-07T07:10:00.000-08:00

sooooooo i woke up this morning to an email from death proof recordings saying that not only is that the coolest name for a label ever, but benjamin vial has done an edit of "ringfinger" by nine inch nails.

NOW. for those of you who don't know, nine inch nails is my FAAAAAAAAAAVEORITE BAND EVAR. so favorite that i'm writing about this at 7 AM. yeah, notice the time stamp? yeah.

AND. they're giving it away for free! fucking check it out!!!! listen below, and there's a download link in the comments. or just go here.

FEED MEEEEEEEEEE!

2010-12-28T23:16:00.000-08:00

so once upon a time, i stumbled across feed me and his "the spell/raw chicken" ep. i really really really liked "the spell" and kept an eye out for his next release, but it took foreeeeeeeeverrrrr so i kinda forgot. and then Feed Me's Big Adventure came out on christmas. a lovely christmas indeed ^_^

I FACKIN LOVE IT. upon my first listen through, "silicone lube" really caught my ear. here 'tis!

go buy it on beatport!

big booty bitchezzzzz

2010-11-23T22:28:00.000-08:00

so i've run across some pretty awesome remixes of the infamous meme lately.

first off, we have one of my favorite artists, dirtyloud, doing their rendition. you can stream it here or buy it from beatport. you should totally do both.

Bombs Away - Big Booty Bitches (Dirtyloud Remix) by Dirtyloud

next, we have 8*B1T doing a breakbeat remix of Crizzly's dubstep remix. i like it a lot.

Crizzly - Big Booty Bitchez (8*B1T's Big Bitch Refix) FREE DOWNLOAD!! by 8*B1T

that last one you can download right from soundcloud. i dig it.

new original track "the visitors" DOWNLOAD IT NAO!!!!!

2010-11-22T20:58:00.000-08:00

so i wrote a song. i made up this riff forever ago, maybe a week or two after i first got logic. when i was stuck on the verse of "anyway," i opened this up and went back to it. and i put a breakbeat in back of it and it sounded pretty good. so i made it into a song.

this may be the first song that i've ever finished on my own. i was in a band called The Stir in high school, and we completed songs then, but i always had help with songwriting. so...this is a first. i'm kinda proud of myself.

when i finished it, i still didn't have a name for it, so i went to these composition books i kept in high school called "book of random." i had pages and pages of random phrases that i someday wanted to use for something. so i found "the visitors" and i liked it.

so, yeah. here it is.

the visitors. by non_sequitur

soundcloud's new player?

2010-11-14T22:45:00.000-08:00

so APPARENTLY soundcloud has two pretty new player options for sharing tracks. now, it is entirely possible that it's not that new and i just missed it, but this still excites me very much. so check out my latest mix, AND the pretty artwork (made by me, of course)!

deadmau5 - "strobe (plump djs remix)"

2010-11-13T20:50:00.001-08:00

i must say that when i dropped this track at EPR 124, i got a brief flash of plump djs dropping this at the nocturnal festival. highlight of the year.

i'm not much of a deadmau5 fan, so nothing that has his name on it really gets my attention. consequently, that was the first time i heard it. man that was awesome.

yeaaahhh some shit + dada life!

2010-11-01T09:41:00.001-07:00

yeah so this is actually gonna be more of a blog than a website. i REALLY wanted a blog-based website, but i don't really feel like paying lots of money to have other websites embed my blog within my website (which you can find at http://www.djnonsequitur.com, woo!), so i just aborted that mission. aaaaaaaaanyway...i will be posting semi-relevant shit here from time to time, like my new favorite songs.

speaking of those, i'd really like to share with you my favorite song of the week. those of you who are my friend on facebook have already seen me rant about how great this song is. i'm totally obsessed with "unleash the fucking dada" by dada life. the boys had posted a preview of it a few weeks ago, and being that i had JUST seen them at the nocturnal festival and i TOTALLY remembered them playing it, the song really brought back some great memories :D

so here it is in its entirety! go buy it on beatport!

welcome!

2010-10-31T11:10:00.000-07:00

so here it is, my very own website. this is quite exciting. i haven't made a website since i was 13. the internet has gotten a lot harder in the last 10 years. damn, 10 years already? i truly am a child of the internet...

anyway, happy halloween!!!!!!
