Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

We want to THANK every single visitor for coming to our site over the last 15mths. We love house music just as much as you do. We started this site at the end of jul2009 not knowing what to expect from all this online stuff (we're a few years removed from all the younger people who actually understand the internet). But WOW... over 65 mixes on this site now- it's oct.7th, 2010, and our backend says that we've had

37 393 total plays/ downloads in last 12mths, 6088 unique visitors, 5554 subscribers and an average of 102 plays/ downloads each day!

It's humbling to know that people from all over the world are listening to these two non professional DJs who are just like little kid geeks when it comes to house music& dj related stuff.

Also a big Thank You to the Podomatic Team for creating such a simple to use and affordable platform to share our passion with anyone who happens to visit here.

It's been a while since we posted. Sorry. We wish we could put more time into his love affair we have with this thing call HOUSE, but going to work, family and paying the bills has to come first.

Just wanted to throw this mix up here to share with everyone. The mixing is not the greatest by any means (hope no big DJ listens to this), but the house tracks are incredible (none of our doing of course) and it's such a fun mix, so we hope you enjoy it. House music has alway been about fun and when it stops being fun for us, then we'll stop.

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

Mixed w/ two technic 1200 vinyl turntables, pioneer djm500 mixer and a serato set up.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

Made this mix with M-Audio's Xponent midi-controller, their Torq software & my laptop.

After using my friend's Xponent a few times I'd have to say that I'm not a fan. (Sorry, not being ungrateful Devon. Thank you for letting me borrow it). The cueing of tracks from the beginning on the jog wheels don't work each time, so you have to use the forward/backwards buttons a lot- major pain and time waster. The cross-fader and pitch controls are way too loose- it's difficult to be precise. Feels like you're playing with a toy.

BIG TIME PROPS to all the DJs I've seen on youtube who rock it out on these plasticky controllers. MAD SKILLS!! I suck on these.

The mid-range EQ's on each channel had to be set at 11 o'clock all the time (I usually have to set to 1pm for all other DJ mixers), and it still put out too much mid & the mid sounds very hollow. Overall, not really too fun to play with. Got my house music fix with the making of this mix though.

For max DJ'ing fun, I'll stick w/ cd turntables, serato w/ vinyl control discs or reg. vinyl turntables.

Will be trying a friend's NuMark NS7 soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_4NIKpuHI

That looks like the best controller out there because of the motorized platters that spin (and you can adjust the tightness of the platters), and the heavy duty metal construction. The NS7 doesn't feel like a toy, but at over 3X's the cost of Xponent, it better not:)

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

I've recently been reacquainted with some old DJ friends and met some new ones on FaceCrack. It's been a blast sharing each others' house mixes online (no more cassette tapes or cds!!). I've been inspired time and time again by tons of great house music from Toronto DJs & Producers. We always think that the grass is greener elsewhere. Torontonians want to talk about how great the house scene is in New York, Miami, San Fran or Europe.

We forget that the reason why there are soooooooo many House Producers, DJs and regular HouseFiends in Toronto is because of all the great DJs here that we grew up listening & dancing to. DJs like Aki, PTS (Peter, Tyrone & Shams), Dino & Terry, Gene King, Kevin Williams, Dave Campbell, Jason Palma, Nick Holder & Patrick "D" Nice to name the foundation of Underground House here. They got us loving and deeply addicted to this genre of electronic music back in the day.

Can't even describe the feeling of joy to find and hear a good house track. Hope you get some of the same feelings after listening to a few of our mixes. Blended with love & devotion.

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

It amazes us how house has grown into so many genres within itself, but the love of house is universal. It's so much fun to make a mix and share it online with HouseHeadz all over the world. DJing is such a blast!! You get to put together your favourite songs anyway you want. Any speed, any length for each track, how you mix trxs in or out, how you like it to sound with more bass for some or more hi's (guilty). The best part is that you don't have to know any music theory or have any musical ability. (Like us, we're probably putting together sounds that would grate a real musician's sensibilities).

...You just start spinning. And it's such a blast that you want to do it again and again. You listen to lots of other DJs and get inspired by their various distinct sounds.

We love finding the gems in all these mp3 stores, even with so many genres ranging from house, deephouse, techhouse, minimal house, electro house and progressive house. You know when you've found one when you get goosebumps and whisper 'WOW' to yourself. And then there are the exceptional tunes where you put your fist in the air and you're not at a party and no one is around. It's weird sort of.

We hope that this happens to you when you hear this mix (even if just a little). Most of the time that you spend DJing is finding the gems, not actually mixing. We're like house miners of sorts- digging away. Best to Everyone in this exciting New Year who visits here from where ever you are in the world. (thank goodness Podomatic finally got their sites mobile friendly, so you don't need a microscope to see this site on your smartphone).

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

This mix was created on a Native Instrument's "Traxtor Kontrol S4" controller MK3 version, a crappy PC laptop and No sync applied.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

This mix is representative of our dattrax sound which is aggressively layered & textured house. We play all sorts of types of house tracks mashed into one continuous mix whether it be deep, vocal, tech, funky or anything else that would make us dance when mixed with house. It's always about dancing or at least bopping your head till you have to see a chiropractor, otherwise, it's just boring.

There is something beautiful about hearing different combinations of house tracks and the different transitions that happen automatically when certain combos are placed on top and through each other. Let alone what you can do to change the feel with volume levels, EQs, crossfader, mixing out, tempo, etc. Our joy is in searching for the perfect mix. It never happens but the journey is a blast. We never repeat a combo, unless it hasn't been recorded in a mix yet. Interesting combos refresh and reinvigorate our love of house every single time.

This mix was made on the new Traktor Kontrol S4, but the 'sync' feature was not used. We come from an old-fashion background of playing on crappy DJ & sound equipment and even on turntables with poor pitch control before we got Technics 1200s. We like to always get back to basics for that raw DJ feel.

When you only play two house tracks at a time and you use a computer syncing program, that's not real DJing. DJing house is about beat matching, layering, mixing out properly, transitions, programming and creating an overall house groove.

I'm not discounting 'sync', it's what it is used for that I'm disputing. If you are fusing three or four songs together and need to focus on being creative by making new sounds and textures and by making sure that the 3-4 tracks don't clash, then beat matching has to take a back seat for that to happen. That's a different type of DJing- that's closer to performance art and a new level in live remixing. Above our pay grade.

New DJs that rely on technology to do the work will get burned. Not everyone will get to play in premium clubs with state of the art DJ & sound equipment, so the basics must be solid, so that you can be flexible when you don't have the 'perfect' set-up. Learning the basics and improving on them is what makes good House DJs. I'm not trying to even compare House DJs to Hip-Hop DJs, those guys are scientists, completely next level. Just complaining about lazy, hands in their pockets DJs in the house world.

My DJ partner Jim has the Serato-Rane time-code vinyl set up and I have the Traktor S4 midi controller set up now, but we both prefer playing out on vinyl and cds. I think we had a combined collection of over 60 crates of house records. I only have five crates left because I got rid of 25crates over the years. I still don't trust a laptop to not crash, but with cds, unless I lose my cookies in anger and decide to stomp on them with my boots, we'll be cruising just fine at any gig. And as far as tactile-feel and modern flexibility of playing digital music files, nothing beats the Serato/Traktor time-coded vinyl systems.

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

Hope you enjoy this mix, loved making it. Please comment & interact with us below on any mixes that you like. Made this mix when I first bought the 1st generation Traktor Kontrol S4. Now I'm mixing on the 3rd Gen for over two years now. It was released at the end of 2018 and now it's Jun2021.

This is the 2nd mix made with the Traktor Kontrol S4 (pictured top). 1st mix w/ S4 is "DIRECT DRIVE" below. Starting to get used to the basic functions of this gear. Pretty good response time on the jog wheels (but not precise when you release the jog wheel for cueing), and nothing beats the tactile feel of time-coded vinyl set-ups whether with Serato-Rane or Traktor Pro2 DJ systems. I also really like the feel of Numark's NS7, so I'd probably like the Numark V7's also since they're a grade above NS7s.

Native Instruments (NI) made a good product with this Traktor Kontrol S4 midi-controller and their online support is top notch. I'm not a tech person, so had to contact them often and read 90pgs of their 235pg PDF manual. Heavy duty construction, very cool black enamel finish, rubberized EQs and EFX knobs, spacing between knobs are not too tight, and an overall larger footprint than regular controllers, which I like. Cool to have an internal soundcard that records your mix right into your computer. I can stop lugging a mini-disc player to friends' places for a while. Still be visiting my best friend and DJ partner, Jim's serato-rane-vinyl set-up. Still like that best.

My main complaint about the S4 is that the pitch/tempo faders on either side & the crossfader are plasticky and too loose- not enough tension. I mean you'll get used to it eventually, but not ideal. The pitch faders also need to have a longer physical range (but I guess they think not too many old school DJs like us will use and every kid in their bedroom is just going to sync everything). And although the jog wheels have a slight magnetic weighting, it'd be cool to be able to adjust the tension. And it would be amazing to have spinning platters that are a lot bigger (at least 7inchs in diameter), but that would defeat the purpose of what they want to do in creating this product to be portable. I wouldn't use it to play a gig though. Good for making mixes at home, but still not trusting of fully digital systems for live events. CDs are a more sure bet for now.

I also got tons of static system pops and clicks when attached to my laptop (Intel's dual-core2 at 1.67GHZ w/ 3gigs of RAM, 32bit Window's 7- Home Edition) and this is even after following NI's suggestions for optimizing computer for audio DJing. So now I plug into my desktop (Intel's quad-core at 2.67GHZ w/ 8gigs of RAM, 64bit Window's 7-Ultimate) and haven't had a problem since.

Haven't used the sync, hot cues, sampling, looping or any of that extra stuff yet. Don't have time to finish the manual and play with those features right now. With the type of house that we spin, probably won't be doing too much of that stuff anyways, but it is fun to have options.

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

---------------

Still having a challenge assigning the EFX boards on either top corner to any channel. Right now they are locked to one channel each side, so I can only apply three effects to each channel instead of six to either channel. I'm sure Native Instruments will help me with that. And they also gave me a BONUS Traktor Pro 2 upgrade in early april which is super cool and worth $80USD and multiple bug fixin' updates since I bought it a month or so ago (much appreciated NI!!). Very happy with this company, Native Instruments' support and quality of software/hardware is top shelf.(continued)

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

Hands in the air and your head bopping as you drive to this... my favourite testing ground for a new mix is nice & LOUD in the car. Drive safely though...

Been trying to find time to lay these new tracks my DJ Partner Jim and I bought over two months ago, but work has been crazy and I'm still behind some deadlines, and I don't let house music interrupt my family time with my wife and children (as much as I love it). I wish I had a soundproof room though because every time I had time, it was at 11pm or later. That's life... There's a few tracks on this mix that are almost classic house now because tons of good Toronto House DJs have been playing them since Jan & putting them in their mixes also. Good thing that great house is timeless and if someone hasn't heard it before, then it's NEW to them.

In this mix: many many tracks from Toronto's Finest Deep House Producer right now, JASON B. (in my opinion. I think 5 tracks- time for a 60min Jason B. Tribute Mix soon. It's gonna be called "TORONTO DEEP" so I got dibs on this mix name Everyone!)

The first track is Jason's treatment of SADE's Morning Bird and it's exquisite. Can't get enough of his tracks. A good house track for me is when you can listen over and over and still get a grin on your face and this refreshing feeling flow over you.

Last track is by Toronto's Nick Holder and it's one of three vocal tracks on this mix called "Heartbeat", so the name of this mix was obvious. Don't think we ever bought three house songs with the same name before- weird. We have many of Nick's vinyl records, but this is his finest remix- PERIOD- gonna blow your mind!! I first heard it on Roland Gonzalez' mix in feb2011 and freaked out!

Nick is representing Toronto in South Africa right now- much respect to one of the most successful House Producers Canada has ever produced- a pioneer in this scene. A scene that we all have grown to love more and more. I've been told that SA is the center of the House Nation right now, I don't disagree with this with so much great production coming out of SA recently for deep house, but I'm biased and think Toronto is where it's at for house music in general. Don't believe me? Blowing hot air?

A friend of a friend that I recently met, Chris Z. went on a trip to Hong Kong in the summer and posted this image on Facecrack that he took at a party. I asked for his permission to use it. Thanks again Chris!

Read the sign, it's the best ever! Love it because it has happened or will happen to every House DJ out there when you spin at every crappy venue just to hear your music LOUD.

So funny. I saw Karizma on a youtube vid talk about people requesting stuff when you are deep into a house mixing fever. (Karizma btw... is a wicked DJ. Saw him for the first time in Toronto a few months ago. He cut up some double tracks. Tight. Can't wait to put his remix of Cajmere's "Brighter Days", feat. Dejae's on a new mix. Have had it for months now.. can't wait! His treatment kept all the elements of the original- but he 2011'ed it with crisp hi-hats and tight kick drums.)

As amazing as house music is... the feeling, the ear to ear grin of dancing to an awesome mix, the instant connection with other House Fiends- most regular folks don't know what it is. They only know what is prevalent in music videos, movies, etc. People know what they know from what is fed to them. (btw...House is not that euro crap on some TV shows and commercials.)

Just recently met on FB, Stas Shiprinksi, who is one of my favourite house producers right now. When I first heard his tracks on Traxsource... WOW!! Bought 8 of his tracks in 20mins of listening to his catalogue.

I told him that he makes House Grooves, not house beats- that there are lots of producers that just make house beats. (You can listen to a ton of his tracks in the mixes below like "THE DEPTH FIELD" & "DIRECT DRIVE". Better yet, go to traxsource and type in his last name.)

What's the difference? The difference is that with house beats you wouldn't pay money for them and with house grooves- you happily dish out your cash and you get HAPPY on the spot. Chills run down your spine, your chin starts bobbing, feet start tapping and you pump your fist in the air almost cheering. Can't explain that feeling to non-house lovers... that's why you gotta love this sign.

About this mix:

Super HOTTTTT!!!!! GREENSKEEPERS' cover of the Steve Miller band's "Abracadabra" remixed by John Larner, and SOUL CLAP's incredible remix treatment of RAZE's "Break 4 Love" (dub & vocal mix)- WOW!! Reviving a house anthem that has survived for decades. They made this track current yet giving us the same feel and kept all the cool parts of the original.

AND TONS of wicked house tunes for your enjoyment! Burned through 35+ tracks in 77mins here.

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

Wanted to put these tracks into a good mix before they became classic house... really, really wanted to make this mix before Christmas.

Unfortunately best laid plans often times don't become realised as work and family leave very small opportunities to indulge in my hobby.

But if I had a soundproof room where I can have house music blaring at any time of day or night- wow, that would be a dream!

Apologies though... there are two instances where the track playing skips... don't know why because there were no skips when I mixed them. Will have to contact Native Instruments and find out if some of the updates they gave me messed up my Traktor S4 and if it can be fixed. On the otherhand, if I waited till the problem was fixed, then this would come out in feb and I couldn't wait any longer in sharing with Everyone!

Jim, my best friend and DJ partner of many years (yes, we're too old to be in clubs : ) each bought about 2 batches each last few mths, and I pulled about 30 tracks for this mix. Jim usually tackles beatport and I go through traxsource. It's a long tedious hunt for tracks that we like, so we hope that someone out there likes these tracks also.

The next mix will be the bumpier stuff from those 4 batches. Have about 40 tracks left that needs to go in a mix, but around 20 tracks that must be deleted since they 'sounded good at the time', but not now.

Enjoy this- as always it was made with love and had a blast making. These tracks that give us goosebumps when we hear them, want to go shake it off, stomp our feet and raise our hands in the air. Ahhhh... nothing like house music is there?

As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!

In an ideal world I'd love to pump out a mix a week, and much respect to the DJs that regularly pump out house mixes. Lots of discipline and love displayed there. Thank you to all the HOUSE DJS out there for sharing with people your hard work finding the gems, and piecing together something that can be enjoyed with multiple listens and shared with like-minded friends.

Now with the internet- there's too much choice and it's so easy to share one's vision of house music with others. So I wanted to enjoy, learn and be inspired by my fellow Brothers and Sisters in HOUSE in our beloved city of Toronto.

IT'S NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD FOR HOUSE MUSIC!!

Toronto is a city brimming with underground house music fiends for over 20yrs because of so many great DJs paving the way and making people fall in love with this music, DJs that have influenced my DJ partner and best friend, Jim and I through many many great memories and tons of record hunting... back to influences: Kevin Williams, Mark & Aki, Peter, Tyrone & Shams (PTS), Dave Campbell, Jason Palma, Dino & Terry, Noel Nanton, Nick Holder, Patrick "D-Nice", Eric Ling and many more. More recently Jason B., Gene King & Jason Hodges.

Some of our Outside-of-Toronto house dj or producer influences have been (that first come to mind): Little Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez (MAW), Derrick Carter, Wally Calleiro, Phonique, Luke Solomon and Justin Harris (MFF), Roger Sanchez, John Tejada, Alland Byallo, Stas Shiprinksi, Lee Kalts, Soul Clap, Greenskeepers, Said Chaara, Matthew Dear, Chuck Love, Chuck Daniel, DJ Sneak, Cevin Fisher, Rob Mello, Dub Taylor, Steve Lawler, Danny Tenaglia, Doc Martin, Frankie Knuckles, Fingers Inc., etc., etc., etc. and then some...

With every track bought, every mix made, and every gig played we pay tribute to all the house producers and house DJs that have impacted us over the years and to all the house promoters that gave us all those magical nights and even the not so great nights to learn what we didn't like. We are very grateful of all these experiences and all the wonderful people we've met over the years. Afterall, are we not the sum total of all we've every experienced and the result of every day to day decision?
