DJ BLACKLOW | HOUSE IS A FEELING

I rarely get a chance to stretch my after-hours musical muscles. I’ve probably played about 10 GUAPO PV events in Puerto Vallarta over the past 5 years but haven’t yet posted one of my sets from here in Mexico. This one, however, felt special. (full disclosure: last year’s NYE set didn’t record due to a technical glitch)… but this set is me at my best… I am very proud of it.  I put a lot of though...

Whoever first thought to take the sounds of gospel and add a beat underneath (I’m just gonna go ahead and credit the iconic Frankie Knuckles) must have been one of the greatest pioneers of house music of all time. Frankie once said that clubs are “like church... by the time the preacher gets going, the whole room becomes one.” House lovers often refer to the dance floor as church. And some of the...

Spooky season is upon us, but there’s nothing scary about great house music! And if you have great taste, then lemme tell ya… this podcast is for you! While #15 was much more tech house leaning, #16 gets back a bit more to my signature sound - more vocals, more tinges of disco, more classic homages, some hints of pop -  it’s a bit underground… and a bit mainstream - and more of an all-around highe...

Fall is almost here in the U.S. and it felt like time for a new podcast! First, I am so grateful to everyone who helped me recently cross 5,000 followers on Soundcloud. It took 10 years and 181 posts, but it feels like an accomplishment I can be proud of. Thank you to everyone who has supported my career over the past 15 years and to everyone new who’s followed me in the past 6 months. (most likel...

Please enjoy Part 3 - the final 80-minutes - of my 5-hour daytime set at the Crown & Anchor in Provincetown this year over 4th of July week. As I alluded to earlier in my Part 2 notes, this final section is a wild ride! I basically was just like, "f-ck it" and threw whatever I was feeling in the moment against the wall. (especially the last 25-minutes!!)... of course, this usually makes for th...

Please enjoy Part 2 - the middle two hours of my 5-hour daytime set at the Crown & Anchor in Provincetown this year, which I'm sharing in three parts. This set was a true smorgasbord of disco, daytime house, and some fun throwbacks! Part 3 - truly a wild and exciting final hour and a half - will follow next week.

In addition to my already-posted Boatslip tea dance set, I played a 5-hour daytime set at the Crown & Anchor in Provincetown this year, which I'm sharing in three parts. This set presented an opportunity to have a lot of fun and pull out some tracks I haven't used in a while. Please enjoy Part 1 - the warmup - a smorgasbord of disco, daytime house, and some fun throwbacks! Parts 2 & 3 will...

Welcome to Part 2 of my tea dance set from the world-famous Boatslip in Provincetown over 4th of July week 2024. This is the peak half, just as the dance floor filled up and the party was in full swing. For my true house heads, the second half of this set (from Chappell Road onward) might not be your cup of tea (pun intended!)... but others will absolutely love it. It’s a classic PTown tea dance e...

Please enjoy the first half of my tea dance set from the world-famous Boatslip in Provincetown over the 4th of July week 2024. This was the warm-up half, with peak tea coming soon in the form of  Part 2. I am so grateful to DJ Maryalice for inviting me to play yet another year in what I truly consider a holy space for queer culture. Much more music from this magical week to come...

It’s been a while since my last podcast, but I’m ready with a new one to kick off the summer. Vol. 14 is a two-hour journey that starts with nu-disco and then builds gradually to a full dance floor house music frenzy - it turns into a groove set in the middle before bringing it back around to some soulful sounds and finally ending with some more chill tech house to wrap up the journey. There are a...

Part 2 of my Future Disco set from BUNKER in DC on March 2nd ... this very high-energy second half of my set seriously blew away even my self-expectations. Thank you, again, BUNKER, for such a fun theme and such an amazing crowd! I can't wait to return!

Part 1 of my Future Disco set from BUNKER in DC ... the very high energy "Part 2" will roll out next week. It was another lit weekend inside DC's hottest queer nightclub at 14th & U. Thank you again, BUNKER, for having me and for hosting such an incredible night!

Lookin' for 90 minutes of disco heaven? ... yes ma'am, indeed here you go. Please enjoy my 2k24 Mardi Gras weekend set from St. Louis!

Please enjoy nearly two hours of my headlining set from the Electric Cowboy party at the world-renowned Belly Up Aspen for Aspen Gay Ski Week 2k24. I had a blast playing the Thursday night main event this year, sponsored by my friends at VISIT DALLAS. It's always an honor DJing this weekend, which raises money for AspenOut, a 501(c)3 non-profit that provides support and services to the diverse LGB...

Hello friends… just before a long holiday weekend in the U.S., I wanted to share my latest house music podcast. This one’s a two-hour journey from start to finish – it warms you up slowly, it takes you to the disco, it gets a bit funky, it builds energy, and then it gently brings you back down again. Just like one of my live sets, there’s a beginning, middle, and end to the story. I hope you have...

It’s been a full year since I put out a proper (pre-recorded) podcast (not a live set) — sometimes the process of making these can be taxing and frustrating… I needed a break from putting out podcasts semi-regularly. But I’m feeling inspired to get back to making them now, so this fall my music output is about to get bigger and louder than ever! It’s also been a while since I’ve put out a Big Room...

Part 2 of my Sunday Daddy Disco set from BUNKER In Washington DC (Aug. 6th, 2k23)... this was honestly a very difficult set for me to play. It followed a celebration of life for a person who was a member of the BUNKER family; he was a new friend in my life... and someone whose wedding I had played just one year earlier. The doors opened to the public at 9 p.m. when many of his closest friends and...

Please enjoy the first half of my set headlining The White Party at the Top of the Mountain at Aspen Gay Ski Week 2k23.

For your listening enjoyment, please enjoy my only set from Halloween this year. A Disco and Disco House from Kinetic Events’ discoVERS party at SAX in Washington DC. It was such an honor to open for and play alongside the icon and legend DJ Robbie Leslie at this event, who turned this party out the second half of the night.  I hope you enjoy this spooky & scary set as much as I did playing it...
