if you’re not familiar with jimmy valentine’s, it’s the only bar in dc that made playboy magazine’s list of “america’s greatest late night bars”. a little off the beaten trail, but well worth the trip.

so i’ve finally moved into the 21st century and recorded my first mix using serato. i resisted the technology for a long time, but now i’m using it i’m kicking myself for not making the move earlier! i’m still a vinyl junkie at heart, but i’ve fallen in love with serato. this mix was an unplanned mix… i was checking out some new music for my snd+vsn gig at the science club in dc, and remembered to record it. mixing is a little rusty in parts as i was hearing some of the tracks fully for the first time, but there’s some quality tracks there. starting off with some nice, slow, deep selections, then building to some quality dancefloor action. enjoy!

inspired after several hours on the dancefloor yesterday at the secretsundaze mansion party in DC, i spent some time on the decks this afternoon and knocked out a new mix. 2 hours of slow burning hypnotic house grooves….. put on your headphones or crank up your speakers, turn the lights down low, and lose yourself in it. i haven’t had this much fun on the decks in a very long time! thanks to navbox, juan zapata, giles and james from secretsundaze, and all the stranger than paradise crew for a fantastic party that inspired me to get back on the turntables.

recorded using 2 x 1210′s, a mixer and proper records, as always!

in know, i know. waiting for me to do a mix is like waiting for a bus. you wait for ages with nothing, then two come at once. if you enjoyed elementary, i think you’ll like this one. starting off with some us and european deepness, then a bit of funky disco action before heading into club territory. something for everyone!
