It's been a minute since I've released a new mix and lately I've been quite inspired by both progressive and tech house. House Is...Vol.4 explores the more tech side of house which seems an appropriate progression from the last volumes in this series. Vol.3 explored the more melodic, groovy side of house; where as Vol.2 played an homage to classic 90s house. The energy is high with sharp tech sounds throughout to add interest. House Is...Vol.4 features such DJs and producers as Stacey Pullen, Andrea Oliva, Green Velvet, Riva Starr, Nicole Moudaber, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Tiga, Camelphat, Leonardo Gonnelli, Sidney Charles, Datmun, and Clio, just to name a few. Enjoy!

It's been a minute but I'm back with another session of Late. Dark. Nights. Now up to Vol. 21, this session features some of my favorite tracks and artists at the moment. I was particularly drawn to a deeper techno sound on this one being quite inspired by the track "Wild" by Amelie Lens. This track was a jumping off point for this mix with the track selection evolving from there. Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.21 also features tracks from Fur Coat, Hollen, Christian Smith, Ambivalent, again Amelie Lens, Tale of Us, Roberto Capuano, Luigi Madonna, Truncate, Ellen Allien, and Josh Wink. Take a listen and experience once again, Late. Dark. Nights.

Late Dark Nights Vol. 20 features such artists as Dubfire, Oliver Huntemann, Joseph Capriati, Metodi Hristov, Adam Beyer, Harvey McKay, Julian Jeweil, Loco & Jam, Paride Saraceni, Layton Giordani, Pig & Dan, Marco Faraone, Nicole Moudaber, Domino, Matador, Jay Lumen, and Recondite.

Late. Dark. Nights. is back in 2017 with an all new mix and over an hour of pure techno. Up to now Vol.19, this session features new mixes of classic Moby tracks reinvented with a techno sound as well as several other artists. As always, Late. Dark. Nights. sets out to achieve a certain mood or experience in the music, and this session is no different. The bpms are kept low and sexy gradually building to move the set forward with both sounds and bass. At times, a familiar vocal, a whisper will further enhance the sexual nature of the music. This session features such producers and artists as Enrico Sangiuliano, Gaga, Alex Fuente, &Me, Pig & Dan, Miss Kittin, Boris Brejcha, Nicole Moudaber, ANNA, and Bart Skils to name a few. Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.19 is a live recording.

Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.18 features such producers as Enrico Sangiuliano, Jei Ford, Paride Saraceni, Loco & Jam, Spektre, Hollen, Alberto Ruiz, Alan Fitzpatrick, Axel Karakasis, and Mark Reeve, to name a few. Vol.18 comes after a debut performance at Halcyon in Brooklyn, New York on October 13th as part of the ClubbersGuideNewYork showcase alongside Spin D and Lot.te. Halcyon is an independent record store specializing in marginally popular music genres but provided the perfect backdrop for another "techno electric" session of Late. Dark. Nights.

Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.17 is taken from another set at Bossa Nova in Brooklyn, NY on August 16. Again, Bossa Nova is a modest venue but caters to local artists who serve anything from industrial techno to deep, underground house. For this volume, I give you an extended session of over an hour and a half of techno. Vol.17 brings a more melodic sound to keep with the sunset hour but keeps a pure underground vibe. At times, this set is hard and driving and at other times dark and a bit mysterious. Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.17 features such artists as Clio, Christian Smith, Tim Green, Francesca Lombardo, Timmo, Sian, Enrico Sangiuliano, Oliver Huntemann, Julian Jeweil, Dubfire, Ian O'Donovan, and Layton Giordani to name a few. But hopefully the music will speak for itself and Vol.17 will become yet another classic Late. Dark. Night.

Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.16 is taken from my set at Bossa Nova in Brooklyn, NYC on July 26. Bossa Nova, located in Brooklyn, New York is no stranger to good techno. It is a modest venue but caters to local artists who serve anything from industrial techno to deep, underground house. This was my 3rd time to play at Bossa Nova all during happy hour. I still bring that signature techno sound but given the time and occasion I've dubbed my time there as the Sunset Sessions. Late. Dark. Nights. Vol.16 features such artists and producers as Kydus, Secondcity, Luca Morris, Hot Since 82, Sidney Charles, Nicole Moudaber, Adrian Sanchez, Javi Bosch, Prok & Fitch, Nick Curly, Arjun Vagale, and Chus & Ceballos to name a few. If you haven't experienced Late. Dark. Nights. or Bossa Nova, make this session one you download.

For this next podcast, I take a break from the Late. Dark. Nights. sound to bring another edition of House Is... where I explore the melodic, groovy house genre, this time taking a much deeper take than the previous 2 volumes of the series. House Is...Vol.3 is taken from my live set in Montreal at Galerie France Cantin on June 18 for the Soiree Levee de fonds pour la Societe de Leucemie & Lymphome du Canada.

I played in support of my good friend Joe Sylvestre who has been involved with the organization Team In Training whose goal is to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Joe has made this his personal mission and I urge you to visit his site to learn more about his great achievements and how you can also help by donating to his campaign today.
