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!

inspired by my recent hike to the bottom of the grand canyon, i’ve finally pulled my finger out and recorded a new mix of recent and not-so-recent deep-ish housey doings. recorded on 2 x 1210′s, and effects box and a zoom handy recorder h2.

lack of focus

another day, another repost……i’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of the dchousegrooves mix back-catalog being surfaced here over the coming weeks until I can pull my finger out and get a new mix together. i’ve got my brand new zoom h2 handy recorder ready to go, but a business trip to the uk next week stands in the way. next weekend i will do a new mix. promise. got a stack of fantastic new records from dj-hut standing by and ready to go.

anyway, i digress. here’s another mix to keep things ticking over – lack of focus. this was done over 2 years ago, but many plays later i feel it has stood the test of time. particular highlights on this one are jori hulkonnen’s “the moment” (a true timeless classic) and alonzo savoy’s “life drifts”, although in calling them out i don’t want to downplay the rest.
