Animated visual loop from our I Need Sugar launch party

There were so many people engrossed in the porno popsicle-licking animation I made and projected last night @ our I Need Sugar launch party that I thought to upload and embed it here so you can get your jollies once more :P

BTW - I'll be posting images from the gig in the next couple days so do check back!

Its become a habit to press record whilst randomly going through tracks in prep for a gig (i.e. unrehearsed track selections and transitions) - this mix runs just over an hour and surveys a bunch of 4/4 rhythms - from all types of dance/house to rock, funk and more.

Feel free to download the mix or just listen here through this post - and please pass the word around about the gig its being posted to get you excited for - that's our 'I Need Sugar' launch party on June 13th, 2009.  You'll find all the necessary links here in the blog @ peopledowntown.com :)
