Today's mix:

Global House Diva 2 by DJ Irene 2001 House / Trance / Hard House / Progressive House / Tech-House

God, I really can't fuckin' stand this frenzied and debased style of DJing, man. It's just such a terrible joke. Don't get me wrong, prolific LA scene vet DJ Irene definitely stacked up a whole bunch of turn-of-the-millennium bangers here, but that doesn't really mean much, because the way she went about it is just so transparently cheap and silly. I mean, I often think that DJs can be an overappreciated bunch in the first place, because at the end of the day, they're really just playing other peoples' music, and then with the right marketing, they can overshadow the musicians themselves, but there is glaringly so little care that went into crafting this monstrosity here. Basically, DJ Irene tried to stuff 10 pounds of shit into a 5-pound bag with this totally jumbled-up, incoherent mess of a set, which is really more like three mini-sets in one: atrocious, mindless, simplistic, blaring, transactional, Euro-rave-type hard house to start; then a run of vocal trance; and then some sweet house tunes to close out.

Now, I have nothing against genre-hopping as a concept. In fact, as I'm sure some of you are all too aware by now, I love it when shit's eclectic. 80s DJs mixed all sorts of stuff together, from synthpop, to electro, to disco, to house, and so on, and I love that spirit. But there was a certain sort of logical fluidity to it all, and this is just so goddamn slapdash by comparison. Between the three mini-sets, there are pretty clear lines of rigid demarcation, and then within those sets themselves, the transitions are often times just dogshit, and are sometimes attempted to be masked with some sort of vocal interlude.

On top of that is the fact that there are a total of 31 tracks in this 69-minute mix, which means that a song, on average, only lasts for about 2 minutes and ~15 seconds, which is *way* too short, considering how long dance tunes typically are. But then when you take into account that two of these tracks, which are run back-to-back, actually take up around an *an entire fifth* of the whole set itself, that means that the average length of the other 29 are shrunken down even more significantly, which *really* prevents the listener from getting into *any* sort of rhythm.

And my final complaint within this multifaceted rant about this soulless waste of time is that, while I certainly dig a whole lot of the songs that were chosen for this mix, when it especially comes to the trance, DJ Irene is really doing little more than scratching the surface. She too often just haphazardly mashes together some of the biggest commercial hits that this genre had to offer at the time, not really connecting them in any type of way that could be considered even close to satisfying. There doesn't seem to be, like, any super deep knowledge of this particular type of music, because, I mean, any DJ can slap together Bedrock, Ferry Corsten, and Tiësto, man; it's not impressive, and you're basically the equivalent of a top-40 bar DJ spinning Pharrell's "Happy" at that point. And likewise goes for lining up Roger Sanchez' "Another Chance" and Kings of Tomorrow's "Finally" in the house set, and then cheesily transitioning into the final track with Chuck Roberts' iconic, but frequently used "In the beginning there was jack" monologue too. Please, just spare us all 😒.

So, believe me, I really hate to sound like a snooty purist here, but this thing was pretty much unbearable from start to finish. Grating, empty-calorie madness that feels like a forerunner to what our soon-to-come generation of AI DJs are gonna be spitting out, which honestly, might be better than this.

Beyond wonderland time

Among who will headline the varied bill include Alesso, Galantis, Dada Life, Armand van Helden, Seven Lions, Ferry Corsten under his revived Gouryella alias and many more. Unsure of what it is or how it got there, you toss it in the trash and step outside, ready to experience Beyond Wonderland for the first time.Insomniac Events' Beyond Wonderland SoCal has announced its 2016 lineup. As you head for the door, you slip your hand into your pocket and pull out a piece of candy. You shake your head and gather your belongings, the crazy fever dream growing more and more distant with every passing second. Memories of Wonderland flood through your mind and then disappear as quickly as they came. Sitting up, you catch a glimpse of your face in the mirror. You check your phone: dozens of missed calls and texts from your friends asking where you are. You must have dozed off while getting ready for the festival. You awake on the floor of your room, propped up against the wall. No more lights, no more music, only darkness and stillness. No longer in control of your limbs, you stumble and reach out to touch it… and everything stops. It has come alive, and reflected in its surface you can see the reality you came from. You focus on the diamond, but something about it seems different. You feel lost and disoriented, like you have no power over your actions. A strange feeling creeps through your body, and as though sleepwalking, you slowly make your way towards it. You have been there for a few minutes, or perhaps hours, when you manage to fix your gaze on a large gemstone in the shape of a diamond hanging over the stage. These tunes are delivered by the likes of Qrion, Spencer Brown, Tinlicker, Kevin Saunderson, Len Faki, and Reinier Zonneveld, and you begin to lose yourself in the crowd as you listen. More strange music comes from the stage, this time much faster than what you have heard elsewhere in Wonderland. It is completely dark aside from the lights bouncing off the walls. Was it even there before, or did it only just appear? You enter through the side into a tunnel-like room. Once you exit the Castle, you notice a structure you have not yet investigated. As more people pack themselves into the space, you move on to the next attraction. How this is even possible you are not sure, and yet the sensation is authentic. A man in a wooden cart is giving out strange-looking candies you take one from him, and are surprised to find that it tastes of childhood and something else you cannot quite place. To your left is a trading post, where people are lined up to exchange what little they have for different trinkets and baubles. Friends and strangers are gathered on the floor of a large tent hosting a tea party, while a live band provides entertainment. Sprawling before you is the Mad Bazaar, and all around there are creatures smiling and celebrating with the people of Wonderland. Behind one of the doors you can hear the sounds of music and joyous laughter, so you turn the knob and step inside. You come across a corridor lined with doors, each one a portal to yet another new world. You wander through Wonderland, almost aimlessly but not quite, as though you are being beckoned by an invisible force. By this time the sun has almost vanished and this new world has begun to shift shapes, warping in unexpected ways, brightly colored lights dancing across the landscape of this mysterious so-called Wonderland. As you approach, you see it: a large sign with “Beyond Wonderland” painted in bright letters. The sun sinks as you walk, and looking around you notice some rather unusual characters among the throng of people marching forward… foxes and mice, rabbits in checkered suits, psychedelic dogs, and peculiar men with clocks for faces, all heading to the same unseen destination. Odd-sounding music floats toward you from an unknown source, and you decide to follow it. All around you are others who look just as confused as you are, and no one seems to have any idea of how you came to be here. It is then that you realize you are in a strange, unfamiliar place. Confused, you slowly look around, taking in your surroundings. You find yourself gazing upward as the sun beats down overhead.
