Recording of set played live at dogglounge.com on 2020-03-27. Support the station! It's self-quarantine time. #covid19 So, here's some tunes to get you moving.

Recording of live set played 2020-02-28 at Dogglounge.com One of the people who joined the chat room at the site said "Happy Fridayay!" (compared to the normal exclamation "Fri-yay"), so I decided that was a fine title for this set. This is definitely nightclub music; pretty much for you to dance.

Recording of live set played on Valentine's Day (14 February) 2020. All the tracks have vocals, and all of them are about love - mostly for other people, but the closer is about love of House! Image credit: Jude Beck from Unsplash

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2020-Feb-07 I took the Friday slot for another one of the residents at Dogglounge. He may be taking a sabbatical, so this might become my new time slot at the station (at least for a while). I can play a bit harder party music on Friday than my normal on a Sunday, so I trended more Tech House in this set than my usual. Photo credit: Philipp Kammerer at Un...

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2020-01-12. Support the station. The day I played this, was super-sunny. 74F in Boston in January set a high-temp record for the day. So, that was a surprise. Info on song selection & other deets in the VoiceOver at the beginning. Cover image: Matthew Bennett at Unsplash.com

Recorded live at Dogglounge Internet Radio (Dogglounge.com) on 2019-12-29. Support the station! This year was momentous for me - both bad and good. I'll be happy to have lived it, and happy for it to be over. So, "out with the old" (year). Let's get the new one started. Cover image: Matthew Bennett on Unsplash

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2020 Jan 12. Thanks to the listeners in the chat for keeping the DJ company. The day I played this, was super-sunny. 74F in Boston in January set a high-temp record for the day. So, that was a surprise. Info on song selection & other deets in the VoiceOver at the beginning.

Recording of set played live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 Nov 03. This set has a fair bit of soulful house in it. (At one point you'll think you're in church!) I'm pretty happy with it. Enjoy, and please be sure to comment & Repost! Photo credit: Jernej Graj at Unsplash

Recording of set played live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 Sept 15. I did about 10 minutes of preparation for this set. So, I don’t know if there is a “center” to the theme / sound. It’s just what I could find in the moment that felt like it would go with whatever was playing at that moment. This is a harder job than you think when your kit is 7,000 songs, and you don’t want to repeat things o...

Recording of live set broadcast 2019-09-08 at https://dogglounge.com . Support the station! This started out as a bunch of songs I knew (vs. a bunch of new tracks), all in the "center" of Dogglounge deep/house. In the last 30 minutes, though, I started feeling like a party. So, it gets a bit more Ibiza-boat-dance-party in the last bit. Photo credit: Angello Lopez at Unsplash.

Live set recorded 2019-08-25 at https://dogglounge.com. Support the station! "NEOS" = Near End Of Summer. I'm watching my social media feed and seeing the various "closing" announcements from clubs in Ibiza (where "closing" means closing for the season). That means it's ... NEOS. Not QUITE done yet, but .. too-soon, IMO. Lots of new stuff (to me) in this set. Maybe one or two things don't go well...

Recorded 2019-08-18 from live show at https://dogglounge.com - support the station! The podcast title is metaphor for this being the first of the next "century" (100) of sets to come at Dogglounge, and that I turned one of those "notable" ages on my birthday this month. So, here we go! Photo credit: Toa Heftiba at Unsplash.

Recorded live in the real world and Dogglounge.com on 2019 July 29. This is the 100th set I've played at Dogglounge. (My set title here is "C" - the roman numeral for 100. ;-) To celebrate the milestone, I arranged to play "live" in the real world as well as online. Given that my time slot is 4pm Eastern on Sunday, I played at a really awesome rooftop pool here in Boston at the Colonnade Hotel. (N...

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 July 14. Support the station! Was recently in a trip to Italy, and felt like I came back with a very Euro summer beat in my head. Here's the result. Enjoy!

This one is all inspired by Ibiza. I don’t think I’m going to be able to get to the White Island this year, so I decided to re-create the vibe with my set yesterday. This recording (played live at https://dogglounge.com radio) is heavier on the tech house than the normal DL deep house or straight-up house. But, I like it.

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 June 16. As usual, the weather outside (rain) was responsible for my set name. Atypically, though, I though this set was way above average for me – both in terms of musical consistency / selection, and mixing. I’m happy with it.

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 June 2. I was out of control on this one - and I don't mean in a good way. There were just a few songs that didn't fit with their prior, or following, songs as well as I wanted. I just didn't feel like I had a handle on the set. I'm actually just being hard on myself; it isn't terrible. It's just that - at the time - it felt like it was a ship wreck.

Summer is here. Wheee! That is all. Recorded my live set at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 May 12. Support the station! Photo credit: Austin Neill at Unsplash.com

Recorded live at Dogglounge Internet Radio on 2019 May 05 (https://dogglounge.com). I'd just taken a holiday in the Caribbean, and felt like tunes that weren't total party, yet still upbeat. Hope you enjoy. (Photo credit: Me.)

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 Mar 03. I picked these tracks because they seemed to me to be right down the middle of the Dogglounge sound. Maybe a bit more housey (vs. deep) about 45-60 minutes in, but still right there. Photo credit: Rachel Smith at Unsplash

I finished with my normal Dogglounge set on Sunday, 2019 Mar 24, and the station owner asked if I could play a while longer. So I broke out my disco ball & played an hour of nu-disco. Fun times. Photo credit: Sarthak Navjivan at Unsplash

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 march 24. This was an intentional re-recording of the same tracks I played at the live event "Lovestruck" (the 25th such event) in Boston a week before the DL set. I did not have an opportunity to record my live set, so I (re-)broadcast it at the station for online posting. Forgive me – it’s more of a party / Saturday night set than a typical Dogglou...

Recorded live here at https://dogglounge.com on 2019-03-03.  Thanks to all the listeners, especially those that make the effort to be in the chat room. It's always nice to interact with loungers live during the set. As is often the case, my podcast title is driven by the weather outside. And, the sun has risen back into a higher angle in the sky, harkening spring. This, despite the fact that my ci...
