NC GUEST MIX#38: MI AMI

When we were setting up that Sex Worker guest mix with Daniel Martin-McCormick, we talked about Mi Ami doing a guest mix somewhere down the line. Unfortunately, the guys haven’t had a chance to make a mix recently, BUT they dug out this crazy mix they made back in 2006. Here’s what Daniel had to say about it: “This is a mix Damon and I made in the fall of 2006. We had met a few months before, ending a stretch of loneliness and aimlessness that had taken over my life after moving to SF a year and a half prior. At that point, our band was just the two of us (as it is again now), and to say we had no idea what we were doing is a true understatement. We practiced in a closet, me jamming loops on Ableton, playing occasional guitar and keys and singing, while Damon worked the percussion. We started with a snare drum, sans snare, and then added in the following order: roto toms, hi hat, rack tom, shakers, maracas, and a cymbal before eventually purchasing a kick drum in August of 2007. Practice tapes circa the weeks surrounding this mix are 100% unlistenable. But I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this proto-dj excursion, and how much of the vibe remains intact today. Most of the gamelan, Sandy Bull and minimal techno was me; most of the italo, asian pop and (surprisingly) Polish men’s choir was Damon. We called it the Deth Kult Mix after some favorite Mission St graffiti, and passed it on to Kat from Donuts as a demo. We ended up opening for Tussle in the spring and she and Damon started dating and the next five years passed so quickly in a warmly-glowing blur of life/love/learning/jammin’.” A beautiful story with a happy ending!
