Deep Reactions with Catalyst

I'm headed to Ibiza this summer, and *WISH* I had some place to spin there. It is a "bucket-list" item for me to do so.

This set has tunes that seem like what I'd want to hear as the sun goes down on a warm, happy, Ibiza afternoon with a glass of Rosé in-hand, standing among a beach-full of lounge chairs with a no-name, but really good DJ (like, me!) spinning tunes that gets everyone dancing and puts a smile on their faces.

Ahhh - Ibiza dreaming, indeed.

This set is right down the middle of the Dogglounge sound - at least *my* feeling about DL sound is. I tend to get a little clubby in the last couple of tracks - but that's just who I am.

I seem to be on a streak of naming my sets based on my feeling about the weather. Well, it's June, and here in New England, it's still cool (55F, 12C), and I'm still "anticipating" the onset of REAL summer. Please....

Since there are lots of fathers out there that grew up in the Disco era, I thought it would be fun to do a disco-themed set - BUT, make it more modern by using either reworks of old Disco tracks that are more DJ friendly, or fully-new Nu-Disco / Indie Dance tracks.

I had a TON of fun playing this set. I hope you enjoy it, too. Visit and support the station!

After last week's set of full-on Nu-Disco, I decided to stay with the idea of "reworks of old genres", and put this set together using either reworks of old jazz tunes, or new tunes that have a solid jazzy feel to them.

Thanks to the listeners, especially those who come and show up in chat. And credit to Adi (https://ello.co/dyya) for the cover art.

Recorded live at http://dogglounge.com on 13 Aug 2017. I was a bit all over the place on this set; it may not be my most well-crafted arc of music. But hey - it happens.

I have played live at some events recently, and I'm really pumped about getting people to dance. So this was a bit more "house-y" than might have worked well on a Sunday afternoon at Dogglounge, but it's where my music was at the time.

Not sure what to say about this set. I felt inspired by the minimalism of opening couple of tunes, and the closing one. (Thus the title - and cover art.) So I stayed in that vein - a bit. I tilted towards some normal deep house in the middle, but this one is a bit different for me. And fun to have played.

I also discovered a new producer this week, and about 1/3 the tunes are from this guy (Iron Curtis).

Thanks to all the listeners & those that came in the chat room. Support the station by listening, and contributing.

No real reason for the title. I just felt comfortable doing the set. I wasn't sweating what track to play next, all the broadcast tech was working, and I had a glass of wine (though sadly not an ocean view) during the set. So, the title emerged from that as I was doing post-broadcast mastering.

Hope you enjoy the tunes. Support the station!

I originally wanted to call this podcast "Looking Up". I have an original song in this mix, and I felt like (for the first time) like I didn't struggle with the technology to make it - so things were "looking up" for me. But, I've already done a podcast by that name, and Mixcloud seemed to be getting confused (when I did tracklist time stamping). So, I just renamed the podcast (since I could use the artwork because I has a person "looking down".)

This week I went to a club in Brooklyn with 4 hours of great DJs form 8-midnight, and the George Clinton live from 12-2. This got my brain in the funky mode. My crate is not super-deep in funky house, and I don't know that end of my crate well enough. So I think I could have done better on the sequencing of these tracks. But, I had fun, and think I need to play this stuff more. It's so fun to dance to!
