dc house grooves

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!

here’s the download link:

time for the annual dc house grooves jaunt to västerås, sweden! last time I went at the height of the glorious swedish summer, but this time i’m braving the winter weather.  two gigs lined up for this trip: friday night 11 december at the circus, playing alongside resident dj klas larsson, then saturday night 12 december at å restaurang & bar, again with resident dj klas.

so if you’re in the neighborhood, drop by either friday or saturday for a quality night of disco, house an who knows what. nights out in västerås are always fantastic. the mornings after, on the other hand….

it’s going to be fun!

skaka rumpa!
