I’m mostly going to be chilling at SXSW but here are a couple of parties where I’ll be DJing with friends:

I’m on at 5:30 at Do It To It, right between Skratch Bastid and Nadastrom.  Living Room Bar, W Hotel, 200 Lavaca Street.

I’m on at around midnight on Saturday at Peligrosa. Saturday March 16 at Chubacabra, 400 East 6th at Trinity.  Lineup TBA, but the logos above should clue you in!  Details on FB

It’s been a long time since I put up mashups or edits, but I never stopped making them. Here are a bunch, which if you’ve heard me play in the last year, you’ve heard me play. Mostly just cute little intros and outros.  Click on the Divshare logo to download.

NORE x Macklemore – Nothin / Thrift Shop (DJ Ayres Clean Edit)

Claptone – Wrong (Ayres’s Tempo Edit to Dr. Dre “Still D.R.E.”)

A$AP Rocky – Fuckin Problem (Ayres’s 99 Problems Intro Edit)

Meek Mill – House Party (Ayres’s Bathroom Intro Edit)

Drake ft. Lil Wayne – The Motto (Ayres’s Becky Edit)
the echo at the end is at 80 BPM because I made this to drop Big Sean – Dance (A$$) right after it.

Rihanna ft. Kanye West x M83 – Diamonds (Ayres’s Midnight Mash)
And some older ones that never made it to Soundcloud or Crooklyn Clan:

M.I.A. – Paper Planes (Ayres’s Accapella In N Out Edit)

Earth Wind And Fire – September (Ayres’s Brooklyn Intro Edit)

Mobb Deep – Shook Ones (Ayres’s Accapella Edit)

Ghostface: Chamber Music (Mixed by DJ Ayres & DJ Soul)on Mixcloud

This was made in 2006, a few years before I got to go on tour with Ghostface Killah for Scion (shout to Rhythm Roots Allstars). Huge shout to DJ Soul, whose work ethic and attention to detail is unparalleled. (Also he’s a ripper).

DJ Ayres – Space ‘N Faders by Dj Ayres on Mixcloud

Download

This one is important to me for a few reasons: it was the first mixtape I made which Turntable Lab agreed to sell, which I think dates it around 2000.  Scott at Ten Deep did the art.  I remember I was asked to DJ an eighties party in like 1998 and I didn’t have enough eighties vinyl so I borrowed a crate from my friend Eli (aka Photocall); from then on I was hooked, and started building up my own collection, mostly digging at the flea markets in Chelsea. Spinbad’s eighties tapes were also hugely influential; I bit a bunch of these songs from his Rock The Casbah tapes and from DJ Red Alert when he was on the old school at noon on Hot 97. If memory serves, I recorded this one live straight onto a Sony CD recorder. Tracklist: Read the rest of this entry »
