EarTheater - DJ Mixes

We like all kinds of music for our podcasts.  And we like that music endlessly and without seams.  That specific effort provides a baseline for atmosphere and conveyance of emotion.  Scott Riley comes full circle and provides a moving and driving recapitulation of all things dance floor in our current podcast this week.  He has been on a personal quest to tie up his personal devotion to the timele...

We get back into a deep vibe with the latest in out Subset routine.  Dante dreams a little dream with his most ethereal downtempo set to date.  Within these walls the DJ has built are serene lofts, and an expansive, lounge view.  The pads are long and emotional with a peculiar and consistent draw that weaves your mind back and forth into the mix.  It is a great vibe and one that will keep you from...

  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. When articulating the inspiration for this set, just imagine finally arriving at that long-awaited getaway, nestled in a remote coastal jungle hidden far beyond the realms of expectations. You enter this elusive oasis filled with the intoxication of muses singing, birds joyous, rhythms rampant...

Our mix this week spans wider release dates; this dance sets includes music collected over the last three years.  The music is often lively mix of both vocals and beats in a positive and up-tempo vibe.  At times the emotions lean on the inspirational, and with a few moves into the heavier side of house.  Plenty of variety in the drum structure keeps the energy surprising with everything from break...

Brian Busto is back on the list!  This week we walk among sound fields cultivated through years of patience.  This mix is chock full of captivating and emotional heirlooms collected and preserved for a bumping studio mix.   The slick blend of poignant vocals and energetic arrangements earmarks the global scene's return to public dance.  Brian has always presented art and artist with a certain joyo...

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...

  The world comes at us fast, with more interruptions and surprises than ever.  Chris's DJ sets however, are unwavering.  This week his mix streams along creating a multitude of atmospheres.  Early on, he leans on vocals and brings you closer to a centered, emotional source.  From there, the set maintains an almost trance-like energy but uses organic and danceable rhythms seamlessly.  In a nod to...

In this latest release from Dante, he definitely takes us on a voyage and at times this mix most assuredly feels haunted. The set begins with an homage to the past and lures you in with it's safe accessibility, but the set list quickly morphs into a more assertive sound that energizes the spirit and your curiosity. One can sense an ominous tone as the tracks progress in both dark chords and tempo....

Dante gives up two hours of vibes rendered right from the soul.  Four tracks in and the compilation has already brought out the best in industrial, deep house and even tribal.  The mood matches the world as the mixes jump tracks in energy but still leave you wondering where one song ends and another begins.  We already know that music as self-expression takes a lifetime to learn.  This week Dante'...

  Memorial Day Weekend 2022 - Scene 1  

Dante's latest mix blooms right along with the best of colors this Spring.  The set starts off with the lightest heart full of disco dance.  Early on the elements are highlighted by real instrument sounds and all manner of voices.  Truly, a sound for any occasion.  But its the half way point where things start to change.  The music becomes entirely more spatial with fewer elements making an even l...

Scott Walls brings in the new year with a message and we consider it a gift.  Talent and determination are front and center in a set full of collectible tracks.  The sound captured in Scott's set always highlight a memorable, late night, dance floor experience.  A variety of beats and vocals are further extended by lush waves of synths.  The mix goes beyond heart-warming and we hope you are just a...

Special effort has gone into this David Bowie tribute.  Sean has mixed up a bright view of Bowie through hits and otherwise self-effacing tracks; songs presenting emotion only to be left on your lap for you reconcile.   As one old track and another reach the light of day, full respect to talent is paid with the addition of Bowie's live performances.  The mix begs you to listen as it introduces you...

This week elevate your senses and your music collection with a podcast full of textured rhythms and sound variety.  John's set is simply great.  There are different styles and directions wandering across straight and break beats.  Once this mix rounds the corner at 32 minutes or so, there is no getting off the hook.  The deep, progressive energy moves on steadily with smart transitions and well pr...

Once again Dante is able to channel the pressures and passions of what we all sense in the world today.  This mix is a plasma transfusion of Gothic moodiness followed by intense and dark, industrial era energy.  But don't let these heavy, ominous, very dancy sounds soundscapes mislead you.  Hope and relief abound in the end and we're left with a feeling that at least one other soul shares this bit...

A distinct harmony threads through our podcast this week.  Super satisfying, slick professional vocals, and coming in under 1.5 hours, the mix rocks.  Completely deceptive in its opening the lullaby of warmth and sound gets legs right away and truly never look back.  No easy feat for the DJ as percussion and sound programming are otherwise excited and relentless.  By the middle bits all sense of t...

House music brings the multi-dimension of sound to a place where contemplation and expression meet.   The dance music industry keeps adding genres to suit the diversity and gives artists and fans more ways to connect.  Scott makes strong connections to style and tightly stitches tracks together so they become a single, mindful movement.  (At 1hr 14 min you can hear things that only happen undergro...

When you step to All Mighty Invisibles, the difference between 'next level' and 'another level' becomes crucially clear.  This collection is cherry-picking at its finest.  If the initial beats don't spell that out, the hooky haunt of Weikum's "Movin" absolutely will.  Even disco trance (is that even a thing?) finds bright life and breath alongside open and airy underground dance beats.  One breath...

Lounging hard, feels good. The early release light shines on our Audio Subset this week. Mark brings it home with a juxtaposition of artists and remixers. Take note of this added layer. It offers a great showcase to hear how artists and remixers interpret the exact same set of sounds. Lush dives are paired with occasional beats creating a serene and therapeutic move through space and time.  Share...

Give up both ears and your heartbeat, but be prepared to dance. We are pulling out all the stops for this week's underground music selection. The energy is solid and the mixes could not be better. Scott raises his game this week with a nod to DJs like Dave Cannalte and Tenaglia. The rhythm section is relentless with only the occasional stop for an airy break. When these progressive stylings give w...
