The posted video is one of only a few publicly posted (not muted in most places) full stream VoDs from the livestream episode 103 dated 4/2/2019 Tuesday, and uploaded to YouTube as “Best Uplifting Vocal Trance Mix 2019 #1”. I wouldn’t say it’s even close to the best mix even best that I’ve done, but tried to play the YT algo game with it. Being that it was episode 103, and I probably ended up with over 150 episodes, my last real DJ live stream 4/22/23 is probably my actual best Trance mix and should easily supersede the video, but being that this page is centered towards my DJ live stream arc, I had to at least post a video of a live stream!
The rest of this post will be a generalization of my DJ streaming “career”, any notable highlights, followed by a photo dump “highlight reel” of screenshots and memories from DJ streams that I have record of. Since I am just now creating this post in 2025, I will add more as I stumble back across them.
Here is an audio stream of the mentioned 4/22/23 personal “Best Trance” set hosted via Mixcloud, along with the previous 10 live sets in audio form
I started DJing back in 2017, after stumbling across a livestream event of Ultra’s Ultra Miami in 2017. I didn’t really know what or how DJing was at that time, but the livestream looked really neat (and in retrospect, was apparently around the “peak” of EDM, some say). I didn’t really take action much at the time until I later stumbled across another livestream, an individual who went by the name “Jovian”, that was DJing from home. I hung around in stream for a bit, and chatted with him and others throughout various different live stream sessions. Eventually, I started picking Jovian’s brain for DJ tips, how/what/etc. and his recommendations and advice are what really started my dedication to getting involved.
Apparently he had a kickback sort of partnership with this store/service DJTechTools, and while I was browsing their site for gear, I began talking to one of their live chat representatives. I was recommended to get a specific gear based on my budget and potential use(s), and then I mentioned I was talking to Jovian about it as well. When I mentioned that, the chat rep was all, oh you know Jovian? I was like yea? (honestly not really, though, at least not at that time) and the rep said if I used this certain code during checkout for that month, it would be a pretty good discount. I ended up getting the brand new controller and DJTechTools branded chroma key caps for it for the price the controllers were selling used. I thought that offer was too good to pass (if I hated DJing, I could likely brake even, or take a very small loss by selling the controller used).
After getting the controller in, I spent a couple hours trying to familiarize myself with the controls, layout, software, and then started looking up where/how to build my song collection. My initial resources were looking up set/tracklists from Jovian’s live streams as well as other DJs I seen that I liked their sets. After getting about 50-100 songs built up, I took maybe 5-10 more hours trying to figure out how to “mix” the tracks. After getting the basics, I then decided I was going to livestream the whole process of “wanting to become a DJ”, and started at episode 1. Basically, I was livestreaming the entire progression of me learning how to DJ, improving, and expanding my collection and techniques.
My first episode stream was dated 6/21/2017 on a Wednesday, and I titled my live stream “I want to become a DJ Episode 1 – How Did I Get Here”. Through the end of 2017 and through 2018 I ended up streaming 88 times, with an average of 3 hours per set. By the end of 2019 I had streamed at least 140 episodes before winding down the frequency of DJ streaming going into 2020+.
These are mashups I’ve created, and most are available on my DJ/Car/Entertainment YouTube @aeonpsych (Embedded YouTube Playlist above). Not all in the list below are available publicly.
