Dance Megamix w/ Don Play :: North Carolina's Disco Mixer

As DJ Pierre once asked, "what is house music? A unique form... of music?" Well, yes. Here is two hours of house, spanning multiple eras and subgenres.

This week, a huge surprise dropped on the house music world. Frankie Knuckles' lost "lullaby" mix of Sounds of Blackness, "The Pressure Pt. 1," was finally released. And by finally, I mean 35 actual years later. You read that right — 35 years. To pay homage to the late godfather of house music, I decided to play tracks inspired by Frankie Knuckles golden era at the Sound Factory and with Def Mix P...

Electronica! Big Beat! IDM! Do any of these terms mean anything to you? If so, you might have experienced the mid-to-late 1990s, when the worlds of rave, hip hop, and alternative rock collided. As a young kid, I was really into dance music before I even knew what the term "house music" meant. Shortly thereafter, I got really into alternative rock and punk music for a while, before rediscovering ne...

EPISODE 400 IS FINALLY HERE! And it just so happened to coincide with my dearly departed friend, Josh Pressman's birthday. So I decided to make this one extra special, mixing some of my rarest South African kwaito records (and CDs, and cassettes!) with a mix of other international gems that rarely see the light of day. This mix is an homage to the entire 400 episode catalog of the Dance Megamix, s...

I switched things up a bit this week and did a quick tribute to DJ Romain, who sadly passed away without getting his due respect as a producer of house music.

Tracklist for March 4, 2026 01 :: Tribal Outlaws - I Just Do 02 :: 2 Degrees of Separation - This Track (Vocal) 03 :: Romain...

My Adam's apple is still vibrating from this mix! This week I'm bringing back some good old fashioned "circuit" music, or "main room" house music. Two of my favorite tribal labels were Star 69 and Twisted America, and this mix pays homage to each of those. If you've never danced all night in a sea of shirtless muscle boys to the music of Peter Rauhofer or Victor Calderone played on a Steve Dash so...

This one takes me back to where it all started. Around 1997-8, I began DJing high school dances at boarding school in Massachusetts. My thing was subtly incorporating underground, funky music that kids didn't hear on the radio or at home. That's how I got into the various global scenes that existed at that time, like electronica, drum & bass, big beat, and NYC tribal house. I was discovering m...

Where is this one going exactly? That's a great question, and one which I can't exactly answer. Put another way: where this one is going, we don't need roads.

Every time I post a hip-hop mix with track names, I get a c_pyr_ght strike on my content — so you will just have to trust me that this one really COOKS. 2 hours of classic rap and hip-hop with a sprinkling of R&B, all mixed on wax by a dude who rarely mixes hip-hop. Tracklist for December 24, ...
