In case you forgot, Late. Dark. Nights. is a podcast series that is underground. It's a mood. It's a movement. It can be peak hour. It can be after hours. It can be acid. Melodic.

ben.jamin is back with another edition of House Is...a podcast series for lovers of all things house music. Now up to Vol.7, this edition first aired live on Mixlr and was centered around the electronic music duo, Moloko. I really wanted to incorporate one or more of their tracks and was really drawn to Forever More, the Francois K and Eric Kupper Vocal Mix which was performed live at Werchter in 2008. This really was the jumping off point for this mix but ultimately this edition is a mix of deep house, some tech house, and indie dance. Some of the other artists featured on the mix include: Hot Since 82, Camelphat featuring Jem Cooke, LondonGround, Luca Lento, Fabio Aurea and Toshi, Serge Devant, Soul Minority featuring Nathalie Claude, Leonardo Gonelli, James Dexter, and Lauhaus to name a few. You can follow me on Mixlr to hear my live broadcasts every Friday from 7 - 10pm at www.mixlr.com/benjamin_dj ...So please sit back, dance, and as always enjoy! This is House Is...Vol.7.

As the days get longer and we enter the peak summer months, it felt like the right time to create a new house mix inspired by the season. House Is...Vol.6 is both energetic and euphoric highlighting productions from Maya Jane Coles, Nick Warren & Guy Mantzur, Djuma Soundsystem, Guy J, Lee Burridge & Lost Desert, Malandra, Jr. and Hot Since 82 just to name a few. House Is... is a podcast series that explores the various genres of house music and Vol.6 taps into the sounds of afro, deep, and melodic house with a harder tech house sound as the mix progresses towards its finish. House Is...Vol.6 has a world vibe with influences from both Africa and Spain, and was created for a boat trip off the coast of Spain, traveling around Cape Town, or relaxing poolside or in your favorite seaside destination. Enjoy this summer edition of House Is and download today!

ben.jamin is back with his techno podcast Late. Dark. Nights. and now up to volume 22. This latest session was inspired by the hard and deep techno sounds of Berlin and the interesting new genre Leftfield House that is abstract in both sound and form. Most people can't pin down the specific qualities that define Leftfield House or how it differs from other forms of house and techno but what particularly caught my ear is how experimental it sounds. It's almost extra-terrestrial. The beat doesn't always follow the familiar 4/4 rhythmic structure and new sounds can drop into the track at any point. It provides for a lot of interesting sounds and texture. Monotony and repetition is certainly avoided. Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.22 features tracks from such producers as Amelie Lens, Joel Mull, Keith Carnal, Mark Reeve, Dubfire, Miss Kittin, Dustin Zahn, Pig&Dan, Adam Beyer, 2pole, Thomas Schumacher, Cleric, Kevin de Vries, and Charlotte de Witte. Take a listen now and experience once again the techno that is Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.22!

House music is multi-faceted with many different sub-genres and varying sounds. From deep house to ambient house to the more progressive style of house music, House Is...Vol.5 was inspired by such artists as Behrouz, Bedouin, and Lee Burridge. As you listen to this mix you'll definitely hear their influence on the track selection and the journey I hoped to create. My hope was that this mix would sound right at home at All Day I Dream, Burning Man, or any open air or festival but true to my own style and taste. This is the music that's been most capturing my attention as of late and I hope it will capture your attention too. House Is...Vol.5 features such artists as Lake People, Bedouin, Atelier Francesco featuring Astrid, Rodriguez Jr., Ben Bohmer, Viken Armen, DAVI, Mind Against, Guy J, Martin Buttrich featuring Tracey Thorn, Aether (DE), Alex Niggemann, Anil, and Patrice Baumel. Enjoy!
