Deep Reactions with Catalyst

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019-02-24. I had just returned from a week in Miami; the music there is always hot, and this inspired me to do a bit more of a 3am set than usual. (At least in the middle of the set.) I hope you enjoy. Photo credit: Catherine McMahon at Unsplash

Recorded live here at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 Feb 01. One of the other station DJs wasn’t playing in his slot on this Friday, and I had some free time. So I jumped right in, and played for a bit over an hour. Not a full 2-hour set, but it’s all the time I had. Photo credit: Austin Neill at Unsplash.

Recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2019 Jan 18; an unscheduled set. It was Friday, the normal DL Friday DJ was MIA, so I jumped on & did some tunes that a Friday night demands: Tech House. Go out & club music. Stuff to make you dance. Photo credit: David Zwila on Unsplash

Recorded live at http://dogglounge.com on 2019 Jan 13. Baby, it's cold outside! Sooo, this set got done with little prep, because I was watching the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Chargers in an NFL playoff game (instead of preparing the set). Go Pats! But, it turned out to be an excellent set. I’m quite pleased with how it came out, both from a musical and mixing perspective. I hope yo...

This is my NYE set (though I played it on NYE Eve, since I'm having party on NYE). Enjoy! Photo credit: Tessa Rampersad at Unsplash.

Recording of set broadcast live on 2018 December 12 at https://dogglounge.com. Visit & support the station! There's a chat applet on the home page of Dogglounge.com and during live sets, many folks come & chat with the live DJ. The founder of Dogglounge & my time-slot partner on the station were both there, so for those "old friends" I played tunes from several "old friends" of Dogglounge. I hope...

Recording of set broadcast live on 2018 November 25 at https://dogglounge.com. Visit & support the station! Here in Boston the weather is headed into Winter. It's the long wait until the joy of spring arrives, so the music selection feels a bit less beach-y, and a bit more wintry. We’ll be listening to some terrific stuff from Atjazz, Osunlade, Ross Couch, Dennis Ferrer, JT Donaldson, and I’ll clo...

Night-time set at Autosubconscious, ending about an hour before sunrise. I love the ending track on this. There rest of it was fairly random & reactive to what people seemed to be enjoying when dancing.

Recording of set broadcast live on 2018 November 11 at https://dogglounge.com. Visit & support the station! Yeah, Daylight Saving Time has ended for the year. Winter is approaching. The sun is setting at 4 freakin' 30 in the afternoon. This is waaaaay "too early" for the sunlight to go away. I like this set. There's clearly an arc from deep house thru straight-up house to tech house. If I had a co...

(Re-) Recording of set played live at The Reliquarium in Providence, RI on 2018 Nov 03 (see http://www.thereliquarium.com). An after-party set; it was late, but the place was still bumpin', so it called for all-techno all the time. I love playing this stuff. Sadly, I hadn't inserted a USB stick into the DJM to record the set; but I had the playlist history from Rekordbox, so I recorded the set usi...

Recorded live here at https://dogglounge.com on 2018 Oct 14. Support the station by listening & donating! I wanted this set to have a little more funk than normal; so most (not all) tracks have a nice groove to them. It’s not fully soul/funk, but “funky house”.

Recording of set played live at https://dogglounge.com on 2018 Oct 07. Support the station! I had no real centering for the song selection here, other than just how each one felt. Set title comes from the fact that - although it's fall here in New England - the sun time is still "lasting" nicely enough into the evening to make me happy. ;-)

Mix recorded live at https://dogglounge.com on 2018 Sep 09 - my 75th at the station! I recently had a chance to both spin tunes & go dancing at a fun event. I was (am) still in a mood for that when I did this set. So it trends a bit more towards danceable music than background deep house. I note that I got to stand behind the legendary Carl Cox in the DJ booth for some time at the recent event. Wa...

Mix recorded from live broadcast at http://dogglounge.com on 2018 Aug 19. Support the station! Look - it's late August, and there's no denying that the sun is setting earlier here in Boston. BUT, it's still light enough int the evenings to have a nice dinner outdoors, and enjoy a warm sunset. Thus, the title. This mix is pretty much straight-down-the-middle of the Dogglounge sound. Enjoy. Image cr...

Mix recorded from live broadcast at http://dogglounge.com on 2018 Aug 12. Support the station! It was a cloudy, slightly quiet Sunday in Boston when I did this set, and so the song selection reflects it. Late in the set, folks asked if I might go a bit long, so I did; BUT, I don't really like the last 2-3 songs, or the mixes. So, well, ok - it happens. Image credit: Meiying Ng, from Unsplash.

Mix recorded from live broadcast at http://dogglounge.com on 2018 Aug 5. Support the station! I was in Ibiza during the blood moon of August 2018, and I hadn't yet had a chance to do a show since then. But the viewing of it from the White Island was amazing, and left a lasting impression in my memory. So, this set is the kind of thing I might have played that night had I been spinning on at somepl...

Live mix recorded 2018 June 17 at https://dogglounge.com Having just played a fairly clubby set at the station two days ago, those motivations were out of my system. So, I stayed with a simple deep feel for this set. Also, dinner was going to be later for me this night, so I went an extra half an hour. Nice, eh?

Live mix recorded at https://dogglounge.com on 2018 June 15. Voodoo Lopez and Unknown Tone - the DJs who normally have the Friday afternoon times - were both watching the World Cup, and weren't going to play their sets. Since I didn't have as much drive to do that, I filled in. (Wait for Le Tour; I won't be playing in July!) This went 3 hours instead of my normal 2. Since it was Friday Night (by m...

Recording of live mix played at Dogglounge Radio (http://dogglounge.com) on 2018 June 10. So, this one was for me - less for my live listeners. My show time is 4pm Eastern on Sunday evening. Mostly, listeners at the station then are looking for mid-tempo deep house. BUT, I felt like I wanted to play the kind of set that I'd play if I were trying to get people dancing. So I lost a few listeners dur...
