dc house grooves

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!
