I am kellydallen, a.k.a. David Allen Kelly, a web designer and developer who dabbles in music production and remixing. Some of my music productions have been played worldwide including by renowned DJs Sasha & John Digweed, on BBC's famous Radio 1 Essential Mix (by Carl Cox), and included on a "Balance" compilation (by Chris Fortier). Currently I'm working for the Palm Beach County Library System as lead web designer deploying and planning a brand new site with Drupal CMS. I also maintain the Library's Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter pages. As always, the views expressed on this blog/in these posts are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Palm Beach County Library System.
Apparently Undergroove is off. I don’t know the details, but it looks like it’s just not happening.
EDIT: Apparently Undergroove is back *on* again, but I can’t do it because it’s too short notice for me to shift gears again. Hopefully they’ll have me back again in the next month or so.
Okay, so I’ve decided to end my long self-imposed DJing exile by doing a set at Underground Nistro in downtown West Palm Beach. It’ll be May 4th, which is a Friday. This is the Friday of Sunfest and the venue is basically right there in the same area.
It’ll be a 100% laptop set. I am unpredictable and unique. I may never DJ again, or I may DJ a lot after doing this. Come help me decide.
I’ll post some more details in a day or two.
In case you hadn’t noticed the site has had a bit of a redesign and redistribution. I decided to do away with the Typepad-hosted weblog since I had plenty of space to run my own sites on my own hosting space. At the same time I have decided to split my personal site into two pieces, one for my music-related exploits and one that deals with my professional life (web design / development).
If you are looking for the music site it is here (obviously) at http://www.kellydallen.com. The site dealing with my professional work is now available at http://www.kellyd.com.
Many people have also asked what my status is on music production. You may remember I had nearly sworn it off entirely but depeding on how things shake out I may be working on some things very soon. In many ways I feel I can’t make enough to survive being an independent producer and remixer, but I realized that it is one of the things that make me who I am. Without music creation in my life, it feels like something is missing, so I’m taking things up again, although I’m going to take it lightly and just try to have fun with it. At the point it ceases to be fun, I’ll take a break again, because it is too important to have it feel like “a job” to me.
Some of you probably know exactly what I am saying and have similar feelings about other hobbies and pursuits in your lives.
