dc house grooves

found this mix deep in the dc house grooves archive, and figured it needed another airing. a 70 minute mix of varied deepness, with classic tracks from labels like fxhe, strictly rhythm, rotters golf club, kms, global communication, strictly 4 groovers etc…. and if you haven’t heard the track “ocean” by the mole people before, prepare for an assault on your senses! a timeless classic. best listened to with eyes closed and the lights down low….you’ll thank me for it

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!
