Deep Reactions with Catalyst

Recorded live at Balearic FM radio station (balearic-fm.com) on 2021 April 16. LOTS of listeners from many places around the globe today. Good stuff!

Tunes today from all kinds of great producers you know, including Kerri Chandler, Copyright, Jamie Lewis, and ones you don't like Toby Tobias, jovonn, Brame & Hamo, Salvia Commandos, and more.

Tell your friends about the station, and encourage them to listen in at the station, which they can find on Apple's music app (just search for "Balearic FM" in the Apple Music area), or at the website - http://balearic-fm.com - where we've newly-installed a chat feature for the community.

Recorded live on 2021-04-02 at Balearic-FM.com, 3-5pm EDT.

Reminder that this is a new station for me, and I'd appreciate you spreading the word. Good music plays 24x7, and a full live DJ roster is being built out. Tell your DJ friends to apply for a residency slot (website above).

This past week was the anniversary of the passing of Frankie Knuckles. Are you familiar with his tunes? If not, you'll hear plenty of them in this set! (Also, are you familiar with island shown in the show cover image? Name the island in the comments!)

This is a set from the new internet radio station I've switched to:

Balearic FM

Come listen at either https://balearic-fm.com, or find the station on TuneIn (or other internet radio apps)). My live-play time slot is 3-5pm Eastern Time on Fridays.

I'll have a bit more musical freedom here than at my old residency (dogglounge.com). I played there for many years, and loved every set I played with that team. But Balearic FM's format gives me the freedom to play more Tech House and Techno. And it's listener base is about the same as Dogglounge's (though the station needs to work on its website sophistication and podcast distribution. We'll get on that right away ;-)

Still, though, THIS set would still fit in at the old station, with lots of great tunes from Motorcitysoul, Kruse & Nümberg, Reel People, and one of my all time favorites Everything But The Girl.

Enjoy!

This is a 1-hour set (vs. normal 2) because of a time-schedule collision with the DJ on the station before me. This is more from the crate I assembled for last-show's "notable tunes from my first 150 shows".

As my 150th broadcast at the station, I collected 2-300 of songs I liked from the previous 149 sets into a digital crate from which to select this set of 34 as I went along. So the song style varies quite a lot, from straight-up deep house all the way to heavy tech house at the end.

I hope you've enjoyed the last 150 sets, and will stay with me for (at least) the next 150.

Recorded live on 2021 Mar 05, just AFTER I got home from Miami. I couldn't completely shake the high energy of Miami, so there was some "residual energy" in this set - less than my last one, but still some fun here. Tracks by all kinds of greats - Atjazz, Two Armadillos, Demarkus Lewis, Low Steppa, Keri Chandler, David Harness, and many great tracks by lesser-names like Boosh, Dee Montero, Mike D, and more. Enjoy!

Recorded live on 2021-02-19 while I was in Miami, FL, filled with tracks that reflect the fun energy of Miami. Includes tons of new and old tracks from producers you know, and don't know - like Kerri Chandler, DJ Aakmael, Atjazz, Ben Remember, Anna Tur, Nicolas Masseyeff, and many more.

My normal Friday residency slot crept up on me, and I hadn't prepared as well as I maybe ought to have. So, this one is a bit ad-lib. But, it turned out pretty good.

I hope you enjoy tracks from a WHOLE BUNCH of unsung producers that aren't household names, but are pretty darn good, including Lady Alma, Marquis Hawkes, Masaki Morii, Austin Ato, Phaze Dee -- along with others you DO know like Demarkus Lewis, Phaze Dee, Giom, Robert Owens, and Groove Assassin.

Nothing major to say this episode, except that I really grabbed ahold of a feel, and ran with it. Pretty un-planned, but it came out good.

Tracks from Sebb Junior, The Cube Guys, Shur-I-Kan, Hot Since 82, Dennis Ferrer, Atjazz, Ministry of Funk, and many more.

With a general theme inspired by my lead-in DJ (Voodoo Lopez), this set is full of tracks that have a good bass rhythm. Do you feel the funk & swing in it?

Tracks include tunes from Junior Jack, Basi Grub, Photek, Kerri Chandler, The Deepshakerz, NY Stomp & more.
