Welcome back to another week of the Universal Rhythm Sessions podcast. I want to start off by apologizing for a missing mix last week, due to some technical difficulties we were offline for a week, but we are back on track and I am happy to welcome a new mix to the collection by New York favorite DJ Uch. UCH is an NYC based dj/producer with an affection for all music genres, specializing in dance/electronica.

UCH began his dj career through radio, and through the years his entertainment reporting has led to interviews with many major names in dance music including multi-Grammy Award winner & dance megastar David Guetta, freestyle icon Judy Torres, Zelma Davis of C&C Music Factory, and Grammy-nominated Chicago producer Kaskade, to name a few.

Soon after, UCH ventured into the club industry and his music has since yielded countless NYC appearances and international dates including Pacha NYC, RiffRaff U.K., Germany, and Puerto Rico. With an ever-growing desire for music-making, UCH began producing his own music and through the “Uch & Panic” project, he scored significant and regular airplay on NYs PULSE 87 and PARTY 105 fM. UCH has since completed projects for Lori Michaels on Monitor Sound Recordings (US) and other releases for Soundgroove (US), Flava (US), and KULT (US).

Building on his tribal and tech house legacy, UCH added progressive house to his repertoire and produces big room vocal anthems for NYC/UK label Levan Records. His new single AMOR IBIZA is out on Levan Records. So here is DJ Uch's submission with a dope tech, tribal, groove mix sure to keep you in the zone. Enjoy!

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Universal Rhythms Sessions podcast with yours truly DJ Mentor. This week we bring you a tribal tech house specialist, Saeed Younan. Little introduction is needed for the true House heads, but for those of you who don't know, Saeed has traveled the world performing at some of earths most prominent venues in Ibiza, Portugal, Israel, Tokyo, Greece, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Egypt, Russia, Morroco and the list goes on and on. Nominated as one of America's top 100 DJ's three years in a row by DJ Times Magazine, Best Breakthrough DJ of 2003 at the Dance Star Awards and Best Tech House track in 2010 by Beatport. As a producer he is one of the busiest in the industry with countless releases on his very own label Younan Music as well as numerous releases and remixes for labels such as Stereo, Viva Music, Toolroom Records, Stealth, Starlight Recordings, and many more. I still have a bunch of his earliest releases on vinyl! He is definitely one of my favorite dj/producers and I had the privelege and honor of becoming part of his record label as an artist back in 2007. He is one of the realest and most humble personalities in the industry. He has inspired me to continue making music and for that I have to thank him. So without further to say or do, here is Saeed Younan with a mix he let me pick out from his library of mixes, this one was recently recorded in May 2012 live at Teka in Washington DC as he played alongside Marco Carola. Enjoy!  -mentor
