Deep House / Melodic Techno / Emotional Robot / Breaks.

 

After watching lots of video mixes on YouTube recently by the likes of DJ Boring and Kilimanjaro (check out their Boiler Room sets by the way), I got inspiration to get creative and use the effects and other channels more and to cut up tracks and do some samples. We don't always have to do missionary do we?! It's nice to experiment and add a bit more flavour to the mix. Check out my YouTube channel for the live video mixes to emobot 4, emobot 3 and emobot 2, including a super trippy version of part 3. As always huge shout out to the artists. There are some bonkers tunes on here that are just too good to explain in writing. My particular faves are M.O.S's Na Vode Luna Igraet and Accidental Lovers by Jody Barr & Felicia Douglass.

Deep House / Melodic Techno / Emotional Robot / Breaks.

 

After Emotional Robot parts 1 & 2, this mix took me 3 months to sit and stew over the tracklist. I've been listening to dozens of mixes trying to find the best tunes for part 3. There are a fair few Sasha and Lee Burridge tunes from their last 5 or 6 mixes. I've also added a bit of Bicep flavour to it in the middle and gone for some breaks and much faster dnb. In fact, there are quite a lot of tempo / bpm ranges in this one. Some amazing tunes. Indescribable.

 

Leafar Legov - In your Mirror, Nelly Furtado - Say It Right (Mass Digital Remix), Bajau Feat. Zoe Kypri - Flip Of The Coin (feat. Zoe Kypri), Declan McKenna - The Key to Life on Earth (TSHA Remix), TSHA - Me You, Bicep - Vale, Tom VR - Golden Memory, DJ Seinfeld - Electrian, Etherwood - Belorama, Roy Rosenfeld - Gran Poema, Matthew DeKay & Lee Burridge - Lost in a Moment, Rodriguez Jr Feat. Liset Alea - What Is Real (Deep In The Playa Mix), Sentre - All I've Got (Club Mix), Technoist - Gabby On The Beach, Baril - One More Rush, Eastern Sun & John Kelley - Rapture At Sea (Original mix)

Following up on part 1 of the Emotional Robot series, which got into the top charts on Mixcloud for deep house, electronica and deep tech house, here is part 2. This one continues the journey through lockdown tunes. The story continues with our robot protagonist assimilating into the human condition and learning to understand and deal with emotions of sadness and longing. Or at least that‘s what comes to my mind after putting this mix together. It‘s a little bit more on the emotive side but with some driving tech house rhythms. Highlights include Charles Webster‘s beautiful live mix of Love Song 28 and Kolsch and Beacon‘s Pause. Both tracks featured on a more melodic downtempo Last Night on Earth podcast by Sasha. I think they fit right in here with some of the more driving tech house tracks. The first track ‘Sherbert Head‘ by Boards of Canada I wanted to start with because it‘s like tuning in to a station before progressing with the mix. Thanks for listening.

Deep Melodic Techno/House/Electronica

This is the first studio mix I've recorded on the Denon DJ Prime 4. It's part of a trilogy series inspired by tracks I've collected since the start of COVID. The tracks are part of a playlist called 'lockdown tunes' and they've been inspired by some of my favourite DJs and artists, especially for this part 1 in the series, Roy Rosenfeld. He features heavily on here with his dreamy melodic tech house. There's something of a middle Eastern vibe going on with this tracklist due in part to Roy but also Sebastian Leger's Lanarka. A big shout out to Lee Burridge as well. This is my take on his mixing style and although not as smooth as Lee I'm happy with the results. There are some amazing tracks on here. Give it a listen.

A Moment of Clarity - Boards of Canada, Symphonic Fantasy - Makebo & Amonita, Hypnosa De La Rosa - Roy Rosenfeld, No Drama (feat. Nadav Dagon) - Roy Rosenfeld, The Light - Mass Digital, Honey - Roy Rosenfeld, Lanarka - Sebastien Leger, If U Ever - Overmono, Phase - Roy Rosenfeld, Otro - Roy Rosenfeld, There - - Roy Rosenfeld & Eli Nissan, The Beauty of Silence - Armen Miran

Electronica/Tech House/Deep House/Soundtrack.

 

This is a live studio mix of some of the fun tunes I've enjoyed playing in the latter half of 2019. I've gotta thank the Polish Rastafarian Jacob, Graeme's pal, for tracks 2-4. He played them at Resurrection Spirits and I loved them but the recording of his mix was shite so I brought them together somewhat for this mix. The rest is inspired a lot by Sentre, who have been producing some amazing tracks and Sasha's Last Night on Earth podcast and label. Some great tracks on here. One iffy mix in there but left it in for posterity's sake ;-) Which one is it? Also, keep an ear out for the movie samples in there. Can you name them? There are about a dozen. Let me know in the comments...

Retro House/Nu Disco/Funky House/Disco House.

 

This edition of the podcast features a very special guest, aka Dry Stems a resident of many establishments in Vancouver and Brooklyn, NY, including the Unfinished Business series in East Vancouver. He brings his inimitable four four fast-paced retro house and nu disco energy to this mix. We hope you enjoy it!

Here are 3 segments of my mixes at Resurrection Spirits | Mixology Fridays on 23rd August 2019. I really wanted to bring you all of Graeme Jon's set along with these segments (it's about 4 hours in total) but we had some issues with the recording from his DJ system into our main one. Anyhow, check out the earlier mixes for Graeme's amazing tracks and mixing style. For this one, you're stuck with me, although I think there are a couple of guest mixes/tracks by Graeme hidden in here that didn't sound like the levels were blown. Hope you like it. I have a guest mix from Dry Stems to post soon as well as more from Graeme and I.

90 minutes of 3 DJs mixing up a storm in East Vancouver at Mixology @ Resurrection Spirits on Friday August 9th, 2019. Hope you enjoy it. Help us build the tracklisting by adding your comments...

Funky House/Disco House/Deep House/Tech House.

 

Okay we're back with our main style... Live at Mixology @ Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver. This one is house all the way but with a variety of different styles and a nice little 3 hour build-up in intensity and depth. Graeme's at it for the first section then I take over, then back to Graeme, and then me. To me to you to me to you! If you get that reference, there's something wrong with you. Anyhow I don't have a list of Graeme's tracks so I'm gonna publish these monster 3 hour sets without a tracklist from now on. If you hear anything you like or recognize, give us a comment. Oh! We're gonna do weekly Mixology starting August on Fridays so buckle in for the ride!

Old School Pop/Rock/Hip Hop/Funk/Soul/House.

 

This one's all over the place in terms of styles... It's a recording of a live party mix for Matt & Mel's wedding reception guests... And it's pretty solid in terms of execution apart from having to deal with a few drunken guests attacking the DJ booth (Volvo Tom & Steve O'Neill) but these bits add to the flavour... Anyhow take a look at the tracklist: it's pretty diverse... A balancing act between playing songs people know and keeping it fun to mix and playing a bunch of genres in one set... 3 hours of party tunes including one unknown random speed garage track from Tony near the end... Here's to married life!
