Nick Thayer | Vs. Sevenmilligram | VJ Mix

With 30 releases, 2 Mix CDs, a Breakspoll Award, and a catalogue of remixes being played by everyone from Breakbeat dons the Plump DJs, The Cuban Brothers, and Baltimore godfather Scottie B, Nick Thayer is no stranger to variety.

Here Nick goes into VJ battle with designer and image maker Theo Robinson a.k.a. ‘Sevenmilligram’ to create this VJ mix of the DJ and VJ show which Nick uses in some of his Live shows.

Theo explains some of the processes going on in this video…

“I created it using After Effects but have tried to capture the more raw style captured by early Arkaos when VJing.  I have a preference towards choppy video and layers which feel appropriate to the style of music and Nick’s DJing as a whole. It’s about the references and context as much as the technical ability.”

“One of the other key concepts behind what we are trying to do is what I guess you would call something like a ‘key moment’, which was being able to link up 5-10 songs throughout the performance with specfic visual layers – the ‘I’m getting high’ or ‘money’ loops are examples of this – allowing for 30 odd seconds of sycnhronicity both visually and musically.”
