DJ Cor - Not Live At Booty Black Tie Ball

We throw around the term “epic” quite a lot when promoting events, but it’s not often we can look back at a party to find the adjective holds true. This New Year’s Eve was such an event. We’d have to look all the way back to our days in “The Dungeon” in the early 2000s to find a party we threw with such a great crowd and positive energy… but this time we were fortunate enough to have the smoking/porta-potty area located outdoors.* The set up and breakdown were both relatively painless, and we didn’t have to break up a fight or pick up a plunger all night. All in all, the party went off without a hitch.
Well, almost.
See, setting up live sound can be a tricky business. With a large array of various musical devices from seven DJs all connected to the same mixer in a mass of wires tangled enough to rival a plate of linguine, there’s a lot of room for things to go wrong. So naturally, they did. Somewhere around midnight, the computer we set up to record our sets got disconnected from the mixer and from that point on, the music was lost.
But fear not, Beatery fans. Thanks to the wonders of home recording (and for my part, Serato’s history folder) we’ve been painstakingly reassembling the sets to recreate our New Year’s mixes as accurately as possible.** The first of these is below, with more to come next week, and you can find the pre-midnight sets, you know, the ones that survived, on our Black Tie Ball wrap-up page. We hope these sets and the photos on the page help you to remember the night as fondly as we will. Thanks a grip for spending the night with us, everyone. Keep bumpin’ in 2011.
*If you were there, you know the stench I’m referring to.
**You’ll forgive us if we don’t recreate the drunken beat-matches and bumped turntables.

live or not thanks for sharing some of the fun for those that missed the party of the (last) year! great set as always DJ Cor!
there are some seriously saucy tracks in this mix! i mean i was listening at the party but damn. nice work.
Excellent set! I would like to be able to annotate each track a la soundcloud, but in the absence of that feature let me just say that the transition to dnb around 30:45 was divine. Keep killin’ it Cor
And thanks for the DL!!
Oops, it just came to my attention that I stupidly converted and uploaded this as a 320 bitrate file, meaning it’s huge and slow to download. I’ll keep this one as is, but I’ve now replaced the podcast file with a smaller one, so hopefully that helps speed up the downloads. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the kind words, Neutronium. I actually just started a soundcloud profile the other week, and just got around to uploading the NYE set up this morning… http://soundcloud.com/djcor/dj-cor-not-live-the-booty-black-tie-ball-nye-2010
Kind of hard with a 120 minute limit. I can’t put up a new set without first taking down an older one.
<3 <3 <3 this mix. (and not just ‘cuz i’m bangin the DJ)
Killer Set from a Killer Party! Thanks DJ Cor! I can only hope that the tone set at the party will propagate through my whole year. It’s great that you remade the set, I needed to hear it again for the first time, if you know what I mean. And again, and again…anyway, I Love the last few tracks, they make for a strong feel-good finish!
