I'm happy to share the audio recording pulled from my live video stream at the Mixmag Lab, NYC (my new home!) My track selections for this one were intended toe the line somewhere between a club gig and a headphones listening mix since there were 100 people on the dance floor but 1000's of people listening at home. These Mixmag Labs tend to reach a wide audience of dance music enthusiasts around t...

These last few months, I've spent a fair amount of time musing over my own artistic identity and my place within the bigger space. What does it meant to be a "deep house DJ"..."progressive DJ"..."tech-house DJ"..."Burner DJ" [cringe]...and so on? Does it even matter? Artistically, no, not in the slightest. But practically, I've come to believe that it does, evidenced by the constrained expectation...

I've recently been reminded of the importance of space and solitude. Moments carved out to process, think, and be honest with myself. This mix is inspired by that recent reminder. It's designed to be heard alone, undistracted, and deep in thought. At least, that's how it resonated most for me. This is a heady mix. Opening at 130bpm, toying with broken beats, and dodging the easy melodic hooks (wit...

Happy new year, my friends. Given the nature of my gigs and timeslots over the last few months, I've been buying and playing a lot of "club music" which has been reflected in the sets I've been releasing. I love playing dance floor tunes, but I'm still collecting music I love that's fit for at-home listening, opening slots, and afterhours...most of which has been sitting untouched in my music coll...

I'm happy to finally release my first extended set with you, recorded at StereoBar in Montreal. StereoBar is a club that's quickly jumped onto my shortlist of favorite venues in the world. Beyond the nailing the club fundamentals (sound system, layout, lighting, staff), they feature the "All Night" series where one DJ plays as opener, headliner, and closer. I love this format since it gives me the...

Everything comes in waves. Personal waves of good times, bad times, luck, love, fear, joy... in the physical world, water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, radio waves...Trends, eras, and dynasties also come in waves, just over a longer span of time. Things come and go with crests and troughs, crests and troughs. Here's one more... Tracklist: http://bit.ly/atish-waves-fb Sign up for my ma...

The music in this mix represents what I like to listen to when hanging out with just a few friends after a long night out. Sounds that I prefer as a soundtrack to my mindless spaced-out conversations on a couch rather than tracks designed to work a crowd on a dance floor...loopy, spacey, trippy, stripped, strangely structured, quirky, and subdued. I was actually glad that my friends at Electronic...

In contrast to the approach I took with my last studio mix, "Intuition (#055)," I decided to take this on from a calculated approach relying on reason rather than feeling. The mixes I respect and enjoy listening to the most are stylistically varied, so for this mix (not unlike most of my mixes) I aimed for an output that achieves the same, balancing lush vs stripped, angry vs delicate, synthesized...

Burning Man 2015, What a week. What a challenge. What a breeze. What a great time. What an awful time. At times, I wished it wouldn't end. At times, I wanted to go home...REAL home. This was my 6th burn, and what I walked away with was largely a reinforcement of what I learned the year before: Burning Man is complicated. There are lots of ups and downs. It's unpredictable. Is this conclusion I've...

Intuition: the ability to know directly and instantaneously without rational or conscious thought. Intuition is different than instinct, which is something animalistic. Intuition is higher level, often linked with spirituality, sometimes described as a sixth sense or a taste of enlightenment. Intuition is also important artistically. Art is a creative form of communication, which requires outward...

Sometimes I'm asked to describe my sound in a few words. Trying to describe my sound is a task I don't enjoy doing and actually something, as a DJ, I hope I'm never able to do. If I *can* describe my sound, I take that as a sign that I've constrained myself or gotten too comfortable with what I'm doing. The moment I realize I'm artistically comfortable is the moment I start to get artistically unc...

As of late I've been observing recurring themes of devotion in my life and in those of people around me. Devotion to the artform, devotion to our friends, family, and lovers, devotion to what we want to achieve. Devotionals, in the religious sense, are a way for humans to get closer to God. While personally I'm not one to preach any religious dogma, I do believe there is a spiritual message is hou...

December and its early days of winter are upon us: the perfect time for peaceful slumber, the depths of hibernation, the deepest of sleeps.

These last few years, I've observed a change in my personality transitioning from an extreme extrovert towards an introvert. I now find myself deriving energy by being alone rather than surrounded by people. It's a strange thing though, since as a DJ, I feel most alive when I'm on stage as the center of attention surrounded by people, which happens more now than it did before. How can this contrad...

SoundPark Music was nice enough to invite me to do a podcast for them as well as an interview feature here. It's a bit lengthy, but maybe something nice to read while you listen to this mix: https://pulseradio.net/articles/2014/06/soundpark-cityfox-listed-with-atish-the-perfect-experience For this mix, I take a turn towards my interpretation of the darker side of my love affair with house music: a...

This month, we explore the concept of anicca, the Buddhist word for impermanence or change. The mix weaves through sounds that are bombastic vs modest, dark vs light, groovy vs trippy, haunting vs heavenly, and so on...My approach to DJing is to keep sounds and feelings in a constant state of flux, never getting stuck in a single place. I believe a well-crafted mix is a metaphor for life: anicca,...

For the 3rd year running, here's a mix I did for my friends down at Electronic Groove. Similar to my 2013 effort, this mix takes you from melodic point A to B with heavy hints of prog. Hope you like it! This mix also doubles as a WMC promo for the parties I'll be playing this year: Listed presents PLAY in Miami w/ Three, Konrad Black, Bill Patrick & atish Listed presents Ship of Fools Reloaded - P...
