I really miss riding on the train, and often think about Japan, London, and France — the subway systems that I've ridden outside of the U.S. I got my DJ name from an a beautiful moment I spent with my father, who passed on his love of train rides to me. So this month's mix leaves the station in the deep house area with Andrius Zamba's "London Underground" (London's subway system, also known as "The Tube"), which I have ridden. From here, it's a smooth ride until we get past the 7th track, "My Lips" by Crazibiza, and onto "Sunglasses" by 2Lovers where everything picks up a bit. We even enter Tech House territory before ending up in the land of Techno, with Ramon Tapia's "Bang The Box". Let me know what you think!
This mix pounds the floor at a relentless 130 bpm, and has enough sub to fuel you through your workouts, and your day. I have had a really fun time playing at this speed, and it actually makes you want those longer, 6 minute tracks when your mixing, allowing you to be expressive. There are 17 tracks played here, with time for you to get lost amongst the notes, but also to keep your heart and feet locked in for the ride! Enjoy!

I have been doing a lot of reflecting lately, about all the music I’ve heard over the decades, and I can definitely say that House and Techno have always been constant for me. There’s nothing like either genre, and there’s always something new just around the corner. I’ve been in a very house music mood as of late, and I thought it’s been a minute since I did a house mix. I did my usual digging online and came across some real gems. Some I hadn’t heard in a good long while too. So I started fleshing out some classics, some new, but more importantly, some you may have never heard of. Like “When I Think About U” by Rob D’Shawn out of Detroit (who I know, and is releasing some seriously amazing music), and an excellent find like “Moving To The Sound” by Deep Fiktion on DT Weapons. I also contributed to this mix with my own “Everlasting” (releasing at the end of the month on Daibutsu Music), to help keep the dance floors busy. Enjoy the mix! TRACK LIST: 01.

I have been a raver since 1992, and have been to lots of events over the years. My hope with these mixes is that I can somehow teleport you — my listeners — mentally to the spaces that these kinds of events went down in. Illegal “Outlaw” parties, full-blown armory/convention hall sized raves, super sweat-soaked club nights, all where you danced yourself into happiness. The DJs at those events brought their “A Game”, and everyone left at the end having made new friends, and sore legs walking out. I have stories upon stories of nights like this. This month’s mix reaches back yet again to encapsulate the feeling of these massive warehouse raves from the 1990s, as well as just providing sick tunes to dance to if there’s no nightclubs or DJ nights near you. I hope these mixes provide you with the motivation to push the tables back, roll up the carpet, and get your groove on. I’ve included a track that I’ve written at the end called “FLOORFILLER”, that has done just what the title says most times I’ve played it. Something else to know about the show: All of these episodes are hand mixed by me (and the guests do theirs by hand too), and none of the mixes are repeated. Not a one. I hand pick the tracks that really speak to me from sources across the internet. Beatport, Bandcamp, Traxsource, Juno Download, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and others, as well as from my vinyl, cassette, and CD collections. The order in which they end up in the mix, that happens at the decks. I really hope you enjoy this mix. If you check out the video mix for this episode, you’ll get a sneak peek at some merch that will be available for you at the party on October 26th.

This mix was inspired by the DJs I got to see this past weekend (April 20th) in Los Angeles. They really had the floor eating out of the palm of their hands. It had me thinking the whole way back to my hotel, and again on the way back to Philly. So, I when I got behind my own decks, I immediately started recording. This mix is a result of just going for it. There are four of my own tracks in here, and are surrounded by some sweet tracks. Please share this mix with your friends. Enjoy!

Episode 89 is a 90 minute, blistering ride through the heavier and harder facets of the techno genre. When I made this, my head was clear, I had had enough sleep, and I was excited to do my absolute best. I honestly feel that this is one of my best mixes thus far. Mainly, because I took the time to get it right. Not like I didn’t for the others I’ve done, but I am extremely proud of this one. I hope you’ll agree!
