Counterpoint is: the use of two or more melodies at the same time in a piece of music; it was an important part of baroque music. Certain composers, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, have been especially skillful at counterpoint.

When I was about 16 I read a book by Walter Piston called “Counterpoint” (like all normal 16 year old kids reading a book about music composition). Combining the melodies from two pieces of music (mixing records) can create counterpoint. I try to create a linear progression from one piece of music to the next so that the song never “ends”. The music develops and grows into something different by the use of counterpoint.

Another three hour Thursday night mix… I really dig playing Thursdays from time to time because it allows me to play tracks that are not strictly dancefloor. I can experiment a bit more with the tracks I play and I don’t have to be FULL ON DANCEFLOOR like I do on the weekends.
