A really fun World Over party in Chicago with DJ NewLife featuring guests 1981Tokyo and RTST. We each did two 50 minute sets. Unfortunately, the only recording I have for the night is my opening set - I think it came out fire. Let me know what you think. I really wish that I'd recorded their sets but it just didn't happen - they both went OFF. We WILL BE RUNNING THIS BACK. Stay tuned.

Emerging from a year hiatus, the World Over mix show is reborn. I took time away to focus on my daytime career and also to play out a ton of live shows in Chicago and also a few in NYC, LA and in the Bay Area. Believe it or not, I was putting a good deal of time into the mix show and I needed to put it on pause.

No expectations here, just an open invitation to experience the vibe. Sharing it with you not for the numbers, but for the culture. This mix was recorded live in one take on two technic turntables, a Pioneer S11 mixer and serato.

My 30-ish minute offering for Vocalo's Friday Night DJ Series that aired on 91.1 FM Chicago on 4/7/23. I've done a number of mixes for Vocalo over the years and this one really captures my lived experience as a DJ the best. While it features current music, the sounds span back to my early years as a DJ playing house music to now more global offerings and the sounds that are heavily influenced by house music. I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

The World Over podcast is back after taking most of the Spring, Summer and Fall off to focus and play gigs IRL. In show 39, I share some of the darker, fast-paced, harder genres that I've played during my sets this year. We start by taking the sound to NEWARK for some sure shot dance floor friendly, JERSEY CLUB then to DURBAN for Amapiano's older and more aggressive cousin, GQOM. Last stop is my hometown, CHICAGO, for some complex, FOOTWORK vibes.

Trigger warning: this mix may induce instant anxiety…for real.. Also, it was done in one take.
