First Blog!!

My first blog!
So a little about myself for those of you who don't already know me...
My name's Emily AKA Cupcake (My rave & DJ name).

I started raving in January and it completely changed my life. I had always loved music and had been playing, writing, performing it since I was 5, but raving added a whole new aspect to it. I won't get all into that. After my first rave (Pajama Jam 09), I decided I wanted to learn how to spin.

Coincidentally...my school, UCSD, had a DJ Club called the DJ's and Vinylphiles Club (DVC). So of course I join, a little hesitant at first since I was the only girl, but continued nonetheless. George trained me and introduced me to electro music. Over the course of 5 months, I learned about tons of new genres, subgenres, mixing styles, etc. etc.

I was soooo amped that I was getting the chance to learn how to spin! Mixing is all I think about now and I love it to death. I'm always looking for new ways to improve so I'm open to any criticisms/comments/suggestions you may have for me :)

So anyway. Here's one of my mixes. I call it my "Sungod Mini-Mix" from my timeslot at UCSD's annual Sungod Music Festival. I'm sooooo grateful to have had the chance to spin at Sungod. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life!! ESPECIALLY seeing GIRLTALK! wow. ridiculous.

Anywaaaays...download and enjoy this little cupcake treat! :)!!)
