Way back in the early days of the interwebz, I was part of an online magazine: Selekta. Over the years, the magazine faded away, but my buddy Dennis Lowry kept the name alive with a web-based record label. With over 100 releases and 15+ years of good vibes, he asked me to put together a mix for their upcoming podcast and release on the label. All of these, except for my edits, are available wherever you buy awesome House music.
Last one in the Quarantine Series, I decided to make a mix on my birthday that is mainly Playa & deeper House. Things stay pretty tame, til half way through, when the tempo picks up, but everything ends on a chill note.
This is a collection of Tech House, Progressive House and some other stuff in between, all representing the Past, Present and the Future of the sound. 26 tracks mixed on 3 decks as seamlessly as I know how, to let you sink deep into that 3am warehouse experience. Approximate track start times added, if you want to trainspot. Enjoy.
I found this mix on an old MiniDisc and forgot I had made it. This was a vinyl/CDJ hybrid set, back when I had a CDJ100, and I played much more of songs than I usually do, but it’s a fun ride. Mixed in throughout are some samples from “Deep Relaxation- Stanford Audio System” (1952). Sit back, light a spliff and relax. Wish I still had the source, because this mix is only 256k. :/
If my dates are correct, I recorded this in Spring 2002 and I’m pretty sure I plonked a tape in the tape deck after visiting Platinum Records for the first time, after moving to Seattle. San Francisco style house was all the rage and I made it a point to collect all of it. Is it perfect? Far from it, but there’s some old gems in there. I trainspotted everything I can recall.
