New Mix — Boat House

Boat House!

A throwback and homage to the Cabana Mix, this musical journey takes you through a melodic archipelago of warm, seductive house beats — kicking off with fresh and effervescent progressive house, then weaving through deep liquid funk sounds, touching off on sandy Balearic inspired tunes, docking with a tech-itch soul, and tying the ropes on a remix of a classic, ubiquitous anthem.  This is Boat House!  Enjoy.

New Mix — Eclipse

Dark, progressive, rich in texture, bitter, intense, seductive, addictive, complex, dramatic, hypnotic. If you think I’m describing a Dagoba Eclipse Chocolate Bar, you’re absolutely right.

But enough about chocolate bars!! Let’s get down to the new mix, which bares all the same characteristics. For my trance fans, this is a BIG one. No nonsense. One hour of unadulterated pumping trance. This is the playlist I’ve been crafting to give me that break-through inspiration at the gym. If you need something to really get your feet in motion, this might be it.

My 10th official release! Enjoy this one.

New Mix — Sunburst

This year has certainly been an amazing one!  From summer in Ibiza to Halloween in Miami, it was in one word: captivating.

So now, after all of this journeyman business, I’ve listened and learned from the best — tightened up my musical tastes in terms of quality, and honed my skills/techniques on the decks!

My latest mix is entitled “Sunburst”.  It’s a powerful, musical reflection on the year of 2011.  Basically, the music and experiences this year in Ibiza and Miami completely blew me away.  I admit I had a couple of emotional moments making this one.  It’s just really good trance music.  Without a doubt, this is the most masterful, harmonic, and captivating mix I’ve ever put together.  If you have never listened to anything I’ve ever put out, and only decide to listen to one mix I have ever done, MAKE IT THIS ONE.

New Mix: Dimensional Impressions

A couple of years ago I came out with a certain mix entitled Sounds From The Green Room Volume 1. Kind of like a step-out-of-your-skin type of mix, layered with jazz fusion and introspective undertones.

Welcome to Sounds From The Green Room Volume 2: Dimensional Impressions. This is a musical journey — through space, time, and wherever your little mind may take you.

Download it here (1:01:01-146MB – 320kbps):

Dimensional Impressions — right click save as to download

Since many songs are taken from old vinyl, there’s going to be some popping, clicking, and overall gritty character to this. Enjoy.

I’ll break down the tracklisting here:

1. Marc Moulin — Tohubohu (Part 1). Curiously interesting jazz piece. It is a five part, 17 minute epic poem sort of song. The exerpt here is only a couple of minutes before we transition to Homunculus. Bring your miner’s helmet with a light. Off his album Sam Suffy, 1975.

2. Passport — Homunculus. Led by the saxist Klaus Doldinger. If you’re privy to Progressive Rock, Krautrock or Jazz Fusion, you’ve probably heard the name. Extremely influential. You know how Doc Brown from Back to The Future gets in his Delorean and floors it to 88mph, then disappears into a track of flames? Yea, it’s kinda like that. Off of the album Cross-Collateral, 1975.

3. Pat Metheny — Third Wind. This track is one of my favorite songs, period. I’d be willing to say it’s in the top 3 out of everything I’ve ever listened to. Uplifting, inspiring, purely magical. Off the album Still Life (Talking), 1987.

4. Weather Report — River People. I’ve had an affinity for Weather Report for quite some time now, and this is the track that hit it all off for me. Powerful aura, Jazz Fusion at its best. It’s just a two minute snippet. Off the album Mr. Gone, 1978.

5. Jose Padilla — Orientation. Ibiza resident, chillout pioneer, and largely responsible for popularizing the Sunset Sessions at Cafe Del Mar. This ambient track is particularly moving. Off the album Souvenir, 1998.

6. Neu! — Hero. I got the ambient plane/nature noises from the end of this track. Nonetheless, I strongly urge you to listen to this in its entirety on your own; it is an amazing historical tune in Rock. Stellar Krautrock. David Bowie was extremely influenced by this offshoot of Kraftwerk’s demise. Off the album Neu! 75, 1975.

7. Quant — Blow My Mind. A funky breakbeat that has a similarly themed jazz fusion sound as previous songs, but twists the direction of the mix into deep cut house. This exclusive rarity came off of a Naked Music label compilation released in 2003, titled Bare Essentials Volume 2. From what I gather, this was the only time this song ever got released. I get the chills with this one.

8. Justin Martin — Night Owl — Manoo & Franois A Remix. Deep, ambient, chilled, minty house. This San Francisco native has been a major deep house breakout — his sound described as melodic and tough with a hint of soul. He was featured on Pete Tong’s buzz chart and continues to produce A-List caliber work. Released 2007.

9. Weekender — Weekenderstyle. Funked and chilled, shaken but not stirred. This house tune was also taken from Bare Essentials Volume 2. I actually found this album stuffed underneath a load of CDs, and was pleasantly surprised when I popped it in for a listen. I was even more surprised to find that most of the tracks were exclusive to this release.

10. Jaydee — Plastic Dreams. Yes. Robin Jaydee Albers’ Plastic Dreams. When was the last time you heard this song?! This was an on the cusp, gotta throw it in mid mix track. I saw it in my crate, and it was perfect. Released in 1993, this permeated every club and disco in Ibiza for years. MASSIVE track — dark, dangerous, ominous yet playful, jazz inspired, and epic. A historically important blast from the past for EDM fans.

11. Master H, Francois Dubois — La Balance — Dirt Crew Mix. Remember Chicken Lips’ He Not In? How about Dogtown Clash’s Ya Bitch? If you know the sound — that dark, dirty-funk disco, underground, Super Mario Bros. Level 1-2 type of sound — this is it. Funky and fresh. Released 2008.

12. Billy Cobham — Stratus. A legendary jazz fusion song of epic proportions. From far out psychadelic effects to guitar busting solos, to laid back groove, to Dead type drum solos, this track is a concrete abstract. The break is one of hip-hop’s most well known cuts, ever (IE See: Gag-Seal Breaks by Dirtstyle Scratch Records). I found it appropriate to end this mix with a bang. Off the album Spectrum, 1973.

New Mix — Pool House Volume 3: Ibiza

Pool House Volume 3 is finally here! Bit of an Ibiza Closing Party Mix I’ve put together, to send out the year with an explosion of mental musical madness. As far as inspirations go, I really got into the zone with dirty electro this summer, but don’t worry — there’s still some sneaky little Cabana inspired choons embedded deep in the mix, along with some absolutely essential balearic Ibiza sounds. The progression on this one left me shining. . .super excited to release this one! All killer, no filler. I hope you thoroughly enjoy it! Check out the tracklisting below!

New Mix — Sunrise

I’ve always wanted to record a sunrise mix — If for anything, to commemorate all those epic memories overseas where DJ’s threw down
completely mind bending house music sets.
Reality blurred as we worshipped
the arrival of the sun under the envelope of tropical paradise.

My first release in over a year, done on two Technics 1210MG’s and an SL3. Hope you enjoy it. They say it’s always darkest before the sun comes up. . .
