Happy New Year!

Well, what a strange trail it has been!  After a somewhat more substantial break than I have taken in the past, I am finally coming out of my covid haze and getting back to work.  As the title might suggest I may also be traveling again in the near future though with the omicron variant in full swing who knows what the next few weeks will bring.

This mix was inspired by the thought of perhaps seeing a beach sometime in my near future and the hope of playing poolside again.  I have been trying to reboot my collection of music as it has become so large that it really isn't very easy to navigate so I am using some of the more recent acquisitions in this mix.  I'm fairly happy with the flow these tunes have together starting off light but building to an interesting and melodic climax for the end.

We will see if you like it too and hopefully, this will become a more regular podcast again now that I have the ball rolling!

Some time off and I'm back and ready to roll.  I'm having fun with breaking out of the boundaries of just a straight up 4/4 set.  The last couple of episodes have explored tempo and break beats.  Here I'm trying to combine a straight and break beat flow.  I hope you all enjoy!

Hi Folks,

Just managing to get February on the books whew!  This is the first part of a set my good friend Jeff Griffiths and I recorded while he was out here recently.  Jeff and I have been playing records together for years, since records were actually records!  That synergy still hold through all the years. 

Enjoy!

Happy New Year All!

For the first mix of the year I wanted to continue working through a bit of a tangent I started in December incorporating a wide range of tempos into the set.  In addition to that it has been a long while since I have had an opportunity to put an all breaks mix together.  So Voila! This one starts out in the 90 BPM range and builds up to a solid 124.  For those Progressive Breaks fans out there this one's for you!

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas folks!

I ended up taking November off and didn't put out an episode and I imagine some of you were wondering if that was it for the year.  Luckily I have found some time while on vacation over the holidays to put out another set.  This is a bit more artistic than I have done over the past several episodes and I got a chance to really delve into my crate and find some very eclectic tunes.  Atmospheric ambiance? Check! Progressive Breaks? Check! Melodic Techno? Check.  This is a great set that covers a lot of ground.  We start off up around 140BPM and drop as low as 104 before settling out around 122.  

Hope you enjoy!  Happy Holidays!

Hi All,

I went a little long on the mix this month and had to shave off some of the last track to make it fit into the space available for the podcast.  I hope you fogive me!

This month I had the pleasure of doing opening duties for a true legend in the industry.  Mr. Nick Muir has been the man behind the curtain on all the Bedrock releases going back 20 years.  He is one of the few people who can truly say he had a hand in the genesis of progressive house music.  I have been following this guy's music for years and to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with him and play some music alongside him was a true honor.  

Now while I did record my set, it did not end up coming out properly and so I spent the afternoon re-recording it so I could bring it to you.  This set was much more progressive than I usually get away with at Habitat but it went off great.  I hope you all enjoy as well!

Whew almost didn't make it this month what will all the travelling around I've been doing.  The good thing about all that travel was that I got lots of transit time to listen to a bunch of tunes that I had purchased but hadn't gotten around to auditioning.  This mix is something I whipped together after getting home and is comprised of all recent purchases woohoo!

Enjoy!

Hi all,  

A few weeks late this month due to me getting used to my new Pioneer controller and tranferring my music collection over to Rekordbox.  I think i'm getting the hang of things now.  This month I delve into a genre I call Minimal Tech which probably differs from what many of you would consider that style of music but suffice to say that this month's mix is much more focused on percussive elements.  

Enjoy!

So I'm hanging in Lafayette Louisianna with my good friend getting some good ol' creole culture.  Tomorrow we're doing a crawfish boil which is something I haven't had for about 20 years.  I put this mix together on the plane ride down and I have to say that it turned out better than I could have hoped.  Great summer sounds for a hot part of the world.

Listen poolside if you can!
