Here’s the week’s catch of hot house tracks, mostly deep, a lot of classic deep sounds in there, and catchy beats to help keep you in the swing of things as we all return to the post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmahannukwanzica home stretch of the year. Sorry for the lack of posting all last week, but I doubt […]
Here are some hot dancefloor tracks I’ve come across in my travels, a little more positive and sociable than usual, where I prefer to post up deep tunes that make a sexy face rather than a smile, so to speak. Nicolay – Saturday Night Nicolay is a pretty unassuming musician to be including in a […]
To switch things up completely today, and to give a case to support my love and interest in all types of music, not just the stuff I spend most of my time listening to, here are some of my favorite reggae tunes. As with every genre I explore, I’m generally very picky…however, I find that […]

I guess I haven’t been spending quite as much time exploring for new tracks, aside from these guys and a few others. Most of my time over the past few weeks was devoted entirely to my portfolio, with lots of deep house and ambient. At any rate, some excellent new releases came out, and during […]
Came across some awesome news and previews about the upcoming LP from one of my favorite producers/DJs, Trus’me. In The Red LP comes out Dec 7th on Fat City and Prime Numbers, but I think it’s pretty cool that we can all get a listen beforehand. This stuff is considerably more refined and has more […]
This might be a project worth sharing, perhaps someone out there looking for help organizing their work would benefit from reading about my experience.
