About

Quality house grooves from Washington DC

dchousegrooves was originally set up in 2004 as a site to host house music mixes from washington dc based dj andy grant. that’s me, by the way. over the last few years, free time has become more scarce, the mixes dried up, and the web site fell into disrepair, with dead links, unhosted mixes and seriously out of date content. welcome to the new dchousegrooves site, reincarnated in blog form. here i hope to add new mixes, photos, and commentary about whatever happens to be on my mind. will the content flow, or will it stagnate like the old site? who knows. i guess we’ll find out!

the mixes on this site are intended to help promote music by underground artists. if you like what you hear, please seek out and buy music from these artists.

    One of my favorite mixes was titled “Last Call”. It was posted here several years ago. I need track info for a song with the hook “once you fall, there’s a moment, where you learn to fly”. Plz help.

  • westside says:

    Could you put “Shaken not stirred” back online plz? I loved that mix…

  • Ernest says:

    Hey Andy…I am so glad your site is back. You are one of my top house dj’s. I’m glad I check the site resently for updates since I last tried during the quite times of the old site. Where do you spin in DC? Do you every spin in NYC or Boston?

  • Hi Ernest – thanks for the props! I was recently going through my old mixes and found a bunch that I’ve never posted before, so check back soon! I’m pretty much retired from active dj-ing these days…apart from the very occasional gig, I don’t really play out any more.

    Cheers,

    Andy

  • Brian says:

    Hey Andy is there anywhere I can find an archived tracklisting for all the Planetsoulnetwork mixes? I am looking for some of the songs, especially a certain one. I would put down the lyrics for the song I am wanting but it’s very long.

    Could you hit me up here so I can send the lyrics to you. synapticflow@hotmail.com

    Thanks.

    Brian

  • Hey there – I’ve got track lists for all my past Planetsoul mixes, but I don’t have them for any of the other mixes. I’ll email you directly…hopefully I can help!

    Dear Sir/ Madam

    Would it be possible to tell me who’s going to represent your company at the Winter Music Conference in Miami in March 2OO9?

    Kind regards

    Ashley Anderson, IRONYX Belgium

  • I’m not a business, I won’t be at the WMC….

  • EPrince says:

    Hi,

    Just wanted to tell you that i downloaded all four of the mixes and I love love love them. I found your website from the links page on klubnut.com

    Do you ever spin in NYC?

    I think I’m hopelessly in love with your mixes!

    Keep it coming

  • Hey there EPrince – glad you like the mixes! I don’t really play out these days…I guess you could say I’ve retired….although I love NYC so maybe I’ll get to spin there some day. Keep checking back at DC House Grooves…as I mentioned in my latest post, I’ve got lots of mixes in the archive that I’ll posting up soon.

    Cheers,

    Andy

  • TW says:

    How do I download the mixes (am I missing something)? They’re fab, my man. Excellent work!

    Thx.

  • Just wondering if you post mixes from other DJ’s?

    Stay groovy.

  • Hey Laurent….so far I’ve just been posting my own mixes, but I’d love to add mixes from other DJ’s in DC. Are you based in the DC metro area? I think I’ve seen your mixes on District Soul before…anyway, send a mix my way along with tracklist and description and I’d be happy to add it.

    Andy

  • Achim says:

    Hi Andy … learnt to know your kind of mixing and music from deeprhythms (Moving House). Just that one blew me away ;-)
    Well, downloading the mixes is a little ropy ……….

  • Glenn says:

    Hey Mr.Grant ! Great to see your still making mixes :) Was
    looking at my old PC’s Harddisk and found some mixes from the
    PlanetSoulNetwork.com era ;) And found this gem “Destination
    Unknown”. Great to listen it again ! And there’s even a shout of my
    name in it. PSN was the best. Thanks ! Glenn

  • Hey Glenn…good to hear from you…yes, the Planetsoul days were quite something. I miss doing those shows.

    Cheers,

    Andy

  • Kicks says:

    Heya!
    Any way I can get a hold of Andy Grant’s Christmas Card Mix? I forgot to copy it over a few years ago when I got a new PC and was bummed when I couldn’t find it there or online.
    Thanks for the great mixes!

  • Hi there….damn – I’d completely forgotten about the Christmas Card mix. I sure hope I still have a copy! I’ll have a dig around on my hard disk and see if I can find it. Definitely worthy of a re-post. It is the right season after all! Hopefully at some point I’ll get my act together and do a new mix :)

    Cheers,

    Andy

  • Kicks says:

    Link seems to be broken :(
    I think it’s the same one I tried from Discogs.
    If there’s any way to get it back up, well that’d be just stellar. The track list is a big help though.
    I’d love to see a new Christmas mix too!

    Thanks a bundle, I can’t get enough of your mixes!

  • My bad…I’ll have a dig around and see if I can find it.

  • I found the WAV file buried deep in my hard drive. Here’s a link to a 320kbps mp3 of the mix:

    Woo! A true hero!
    Thanks so much, man. Merry Christmas!
