<br />
Today marks the 10th anniversary of armyoftechno.com. As promised, today we would like to announce the winner of our $5000 contest. Anthony Hudson of Cincinnati, Ohio has proven to be our number one fan by answering our trivia contest questions with honor and integrity. He has decided to forgo the prize money and told us he would rather see the company invest in our future growth. We congratulate Tony on winning our contest and hope that more people will compete in future contests.<br />
<br />
This will be the last post on our Google blog. We are working on some really exciting things at Army of Techno and plan on unveiling them later this year. Our number one priority is a redesign of the site. Many of our other projects will remain behind the scenes until they are ready. I hope you have enjoyed the last ten years of armyoftechno.com. We have reached 100s of thousands of listeners and are very humbled by the amount of music that has been downloaded from the site. Thank you for joining us on our journey from a leaky basement in Ann Arbor to a dock in Long Beach Harbor.<br />
<br />
We love all of you.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned,<br />

<br />
So I did a really unique mix today. I incorporated both my Roland MC-909s, my MacBook Pro and my Technics turntable. 5 total sources of sound as I was using my Mbox and onboard soundcard to play Reason tracks and iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I sampled two articles using Mac's Speak function:<br />
<br />

<a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/07/07/using-google-glass-a-series-of-awkward-encounters">- AppleInsider</a><br />
<br />
I played two records:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiKITW9kWgQ">Negativland's Helter Stupid</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td56XAHxLpw">The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot</a><br />
<br />
The mix includes originally produced Reason and MC909 tracks and my vocals as well. It is 1 hour and 43 seconds long.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Optimist has been with Army of Techno since the beginning. He has spun amazing sets at our past parties, but many of those performances went unrecorded. We are really excited that the Optimist has recorded two new DJ mixes for our listening pleasure. The following electro-house/techno mix is 28 minutes and 59 seconds long.<br />

Army of Techno would first like to say thank you to Steve Jobs for inspiring us to do what we do.<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D1R-jKKp3NA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Secondly, there is a movement underway within the network. Anonymous, Lulzsec, and Antisec have been engaged in several displays of anarchy since the beginning of the year. We continue to watch this battle between the anarchists and the establishment as it seems to be manifesting itself in reality now. On Wall Street, in the streets of Greece, in the Arab world, and many more places we are seeing citizens stand outside and demand better from their governments. Now, they are calling for a Global Revolution Day...<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/K8spSX5qgn4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />I am concerned about the state of the human condition in the world. I do not want 2012 to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. All I can do is go back to the studio and offer the internet this mix. I love electronic music.<br /><br />This mix incorporates samples from both of the videos on this post. It incorporates my 19th, 20th, and 21st MC-909 tracks. Better Today, Anomaly, I Wanna Drive Your Bus, respectively. I end it with a preview of my next Reason track, 10 Trillion Dollar Plan. It is 20 minutes and 49 seconds long.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.armyoftechno.com/pc/PC - Human Condition Mix.mp3">PC - The Human Condition Mix.mp3<br /></a><br />We will be here for you.

IAH is the symbol for Bush Intergalactic Airport and I was delayed there. This is why this track is called iahdelayed. It is 128 BPM and I used my MBP with Reason 5, my Tascam X-9 Mixer, and my Korg Kaoss Pad 2 for the recording of this mix. I recorded this mix just now back in the Dagobah System. This mix is 14 minutes and 46 seconds long.<br /><br /><a href="http://armyoftechno.com/pc/PC%20-%20iahdelayed.mp3">PC - iahdelayed.mp3<br /></a><br />Peace,<br /><br /><a href="http://www.randumbstupidity.com">PC</a><br /><br />PS<br /><br />It is very hot here.Productive Citizenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04379000735299825565noreply@blogger.com0
