DJ BLACKLOW | HOUSE IS A FEELING

Hey Everyone! Fitting one final holiday season podcast in before the end of the year! 2018 has been incredible for me – I feel that I’ve grown so much with my music – and I couldn’t be more excited for what 2019 has in store. Here are my upcoming confirmed gigs in early 2019! Jan 5th - The Chapel at the Abbey, West Hollywood Jan 18th - Aspen Gay Ski Week, Aspen, CO Feb. 2nd - The Chapel at the Abb...

It’s my favorite time of year… Halloween — aka: gay Christmas! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been quite busy putting together the requisite 4 costumes required by all gay men in order to celebrate on no less than 5 different nights… beginning 3 weeks before Halloween night. (while allowed to recycle at least one lewk from a previous year, of course!) Just thinking about it is daunting…. so, her...

Not every podcast can be all peak-hour beats and I’ve had a number of requests lately for a new pop music mix that can work for a house party that isn’t necessarily an after-hours soiree. While I’ll have a new progressive circuit set coming before Halloween, here’s some lighter listening to put on as the weather starts to cool down a bit. However, my fall is just starting to heat up… here’s where...

The dog days of summer are here again and I’ve got new beats to keep you powering through. I’m just back from an amazing time playing up in Vancouver for their Pride weekend and now I’m already looking forward to the fall. I’m curious to hear… what was the song of the summer for you? “No Tears Left To Cry” by Ariana? “Heart To Break” by Kim Petras? “Missing U” by Robyn”? Leave a comment and let me...

I hope everyone’s summer is off to a wonderful start. The latest installment in my #PugLife podcast series is here to keep you dancing during longer and sunnier days. As some of you may know, my last podcast wasn’t in this feed, but rather, was featured as a guest mix for DJ Grind – if you haven’t listened to it yet, you can check it out here: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/djgrind/episodes/20...

I can't believe it's been over a year since I've put out a tech-house podcast and I've been itching to do another one for a while now. I've really found myself gravitating towards this sound lately - especially after traveling to Australia over the holidays - so here we go! You can catch me playing later this month at ELEVATION: Mammoth Gay Ski Week, March 15th - 18th! Enjoy! The Tracklist: 1) Som...

It’s been a beat since my last podcast – I headed back to a full-time job this past fall and most of my free time has been focused on production work and live gigs, so I’ve let my podcast output suffer a bit. But I’m excited to start 2018 off right with a new high-energy installment of my #PugLife series. I decided to bookend this podcast with P!nk, because, well, I’m obsessed. The opener is a mas...

Happy Labor Day weekend! It’s been a doozy of a summer in this crazy world we live in, but it’s still been an amazing time for great music. My latest podcast is here just in time to serve you one final dose of summertime shenanigans. It’s also my personal favorite podcast that I’ve made (so far) in 2017. This podcast is a preview of my upcoming gig at Jungle in Atlanta for Ready4Hope, A Party with...

Every once in a while, I like changing things up. It’s been over a year since I’ve posted a deep house set and I’ve had way too many amazing deep tracks lately that I’ve wanted to put together in a podcast. So, here’s an extra chapter in-between my normal dance floor entries. The perfect late summer mix for an afternoon around the pool or an end of the night unwind. I hope you enjoy listening. The...

It’s been a couple of months since my last podcast. I took this year off from doing a June pride edition to recover from a car break-in, during which my laptop and bunch of my music were stolen. It sucks that we live in a world where people feel the need to steal, but I justify it by telling myself that they must’ve needed my belongings more than I did. Hey, there’s a silver lining to everything,...

I couldn’t be more excited to be heading back soon to Pensacola, Florida, for my 3rd Memorial Day in a row. It’s one of my favorite weekends of the year, filled with a great crowd that gathers from all over to dance the night away on the beach together. I’m also thrilled to feature music from all 7 DJs that are going to be playing throughout the weekend, all of whom I call friends – Joe Ross, Drew...

My house music podcast series continues with its third installment, which I can honestly say is one of my all-time favorite sets. It includes my latest remix with George Figares, our house / after hours interpretation of “Minute Of You,” produced by my Aussie mates Dan Slater & JimJam feat. vocals by Nalaya. If you enjoy, please share! (mixed at 125 BPM) The Tracklist: 1) Cloud 9 (Purple Disco...

As the world pushes forward into one of the most uncertain eras of modern times, I think everyone’s taking a little bit of refuge in the familiar. Updates are everywhere in dance music in 2017. And this podcast consists entirely of updates of classics, including several of my favorite dance floor tracks of all time. Close your eyes, listen to the music, and enjoy the journey. (and it’s a long one,...

The holiday season never feels easy. But it’s nice to be able to find some moments to dance, rejoice, and to be grateful for everything that each of us has in our lives. Whatever holiday you may be celebrating this season, I hope you take some moments to slow down and find some time for reflection. But also, be sure to also take a little time to dance and go crazy. Hopefully, my podcast has helped...

Gay Christmas is upon us once again! This year Fred and Jason’s Halloweenie takes place on Friday, October 28th at the California Science Center, where one of the two main dance floors will be underneath the Space Shuttle Endeavor! I’m thrilled to be playing this party for the 5th year in a row – this year alongside my production partner, George Figares – along with fellow DJs for the night that i...

Two podcasts in two weeks! This latest musical escapade is my 2nd to feature all Tech House and it keeps things moving with a steady beat from start-to-finish -- perfect for any dance floor outing… whether at 4PM or 4AM! And speaking of “technical” – I'm really proud of this one overall! As always, if you enjoy this mix, please share! (mixed at 126 BPM) The Tracklist: 1) Interstellar (Original mix...

Just in time for Labor Day weekend 2016, my latest podcast takes things back to the classic house sound that I’ve been gravitating towards so much of late. I got such a tremendous positive response on “House Is A Feeling (Vol. 1)” that I’m excited to hear reaction from everyone on this next entry. And coming very soon: “Tech-nically Speaking (Vol. 2)” - (my latest tech house entry!) If you enjoy t...

Summer is here and Pride season is in full swing! I am thrilled and honored to be a part of this year’s inaugural UNITE! Music Festival at San Diego Pride; a weekend that’s gearing up to be what feels like is going to be the biggest pride celebration on the west coast this summer. On Saturday night, I’ll be playing at OVERDRIVE at Spin Nightclub, alongside three absolute legends: Ivan Gomez, Nina...

Just under the wire… it’s my new podcast for Memorial Day weekend 2016. I’m thrilled to be playing at Emerald City nightclub this year for the huge crowd that descends upon Florida’s panhandle to kick-off to summer. It’s a long tradition that I’m thrilled to now be a part of. I experienced my first Memorial Day in Pensacola last year, and I’m happy to say that I’m officially a convert. I can’t wai...

Spring is here again… and with that comes that feeling of new beginnings. I’ve been wanting to put out a new high-energy circuit podcast lately. So, in line with this sentiment of spring, I’m going to begin again with my #PugLife podcast series – the installments of which will all consist of big room high-energy remixes intent on getting you dancing. I’ve done several edits on some of my favorite...

It’s time for #3 of my “4 podcasts in 4 weeks” series – the classic house entry! OK, so maybe the “in 4 weeks” part isn’t applying so much… but hey, these take a long time! This is by far my favorite genre that I’m working on in my series. Most of it’s set at 125 BPM, although there’s a small push to 127 towards the end. Please share if you enjoy! (my fourth & final – my latest deep house 'cas...

In just under the wire before the beginning of 2016 is installment #2 of my “4 podcasts in 4 weeks” series – a tech-house podcast. (to be followed soon by my classic house and latest deep house podcasts!) Call this what you will – “actually” a house music podcast, something not purely “techno,” something totally different than the circuit sound I’ve been gravitating towards over the past year, my...

It’s almost 2016… and wow, what an incredible past year it’s been! There’s been so much great new music out lately, that before the end of the year, I’m putting out not just one more podcast… but, four. The first, right here, is a high-energy dance floor circuit mix, reminiscent of my recent podcasts and the sounds you're most used to from me. It’ll be followed by a tech house mix, a deep house mi...

Hey All, I’d like to write a very special thank you to everyone who came out for Halloween New Orleans this year. It was truly one of the most amazing nights of my DJ career to date and Saturday night’s “Fall of the Pharaohs” event was definitely one for the record books. I felt like Daft Punk spinning in that pyramid. I don’t always post my sets, but this one I did indeed record. I hope you enjoy...

“In the real world, Halloween is when kids dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.” – "Mean Girls" “I own Halloween. It's my jam! Halloween is the most important day of the year. It’s the one day on the Gregorian calendar where you’re allowed to go around ter...
