EarTheater - DJ Mixes

The summer vibe isn't over, and for the lands down under let this episode be an emotional prelude to spring. The first half is a bit of a genre-buster. It has all the energy of Dante's staple disco vibe but with tons of unique sounds in the rhythm. Bright like the sun. At the half, the set takes on some more serious underground vibes. Some basslines become more atmospheric with tones that are thic...

When FreedaSol tells you it is her funkiest mix yet, it is gonna be fun.  Right out of the gate the tracks are modern funk with elements plucked from dance music history.  Once the vibe is ignited there is no time wasted to push on through a number of styles; yes its even got soul.  The vocals come and go in full presentation and snippets giving the set plenty of voice.  Classic and fresh vibes al...

Electronic music when mixed well, can transcend time.  For more than thirty minutes the mix delivers audio with deep and sublime changes through an organic style.  Once the scene is entirely separated from reality, a sweet drift gives way to more bubbling basslines and colorful sounds.  One foot on the gas and another on his paintbrush, Scott drives the mix almost endlessly in a progressive house...

Orlando music culture continues to grow and inspire.  Sean Samaroo's live sets at Monkey Bar represent a great mix of what is de facto fun in the Florida house music scene.  He has keen ear to keep the sound open and housey early with some funky vibes.  Later he moves deftly through a few styles to more banging progressive.  As the night unfolds, he transitions those genres with bridges of style a...

Like the birth of a slow and beautiful sunrise across open lands, the mix takes a full 13 minutes to draw you in.  Next, that first dose of dance is anything but tranquil.  The acidy synths only add to the high as the tracks dive immediately underground.  Dante is known for the most diverse sets on our podcast and yet he still lays down a tribal throughline from beginning to end.  The music surpri...

John Kiser storms back onto the podcast this week making up for lost time in big party way.  The intro is long and emotional and really clears the air for the music to come.  With the background noise of the day purged, the mix moves along into basslines and hooks that spin rhythms with harmonious centrifugal force.  A tremendous variety of sounds take the atmosphere deep underground with plenty o...

Fresh from Italy, Dante comes in this week with a disco style which makes the continent sing.  Europe and the UK really perfected this sound in the decades that followed disco in the US.  Hip basslines and well-placed vocal snippets bring a lightness of heart and mood.  The set makes great use of real instruments sounds while keeping the energy upfront.  There is a nice, expansive lull half way th...

  Mark brings a show-reel style mix this week with fresh new releases in many genres.  Positively funky blends at 12 minutes then blends again into ethereal electro and a healthy dose of acid along the way.  It’s always amazing to hear producers working with elements of old an new to create space for your dance ambitions.  But Mark pulls back from the overproduction found in much electronic music...

Scorcher of a set this week as Scott moves focus back to progressive with a dose of breaks, in style.  And honestly, I can't imagine that he left much to pick through at Beatport.  Track after track the progression builds and lays out open, harbors full of energy and life.  The waves are just that good.  The thing sets off with ambitious emotion in a relentless pull across a huge variety of heart...

This is a culmination of a few gems that were sitting in my playlist for months now begging to be played.

This podcast Dante comes out swinging for the fences, the festival fences.  In a mix that runs the gamut of style, the first third is exactly what we should be hearing at top festivals; truly global.  There's even some echoes of industrial, and that sound has been gone far too long from big systems.  The middle bit is emotional and captivating with some instant classic that will live long in any D...

This mix in our podcast this week is on a sublime level that can be described as nothing less than devilish.  The bridges from song to song are some kind of stealth operation of the mind.  Always hinting at change but instead dragging you into the next song under the cover of rhythm.  Breaks sets can fast disappear into the sample-delica pools of history.  Scott Walls' podcast delivers lush and me...
