    To say Chris's latest set is mad with purpose is to overlook the thoughtful attention to variety itself.  Chris has made a distinct move towards changes in tempo and vocals.  He uses both as masterful interludes among some very underground beats.  There are many memorable moments like 21 minutes in when the funk hits the fan.  Farther down the line at 40+ minutes the layers of rhythms provide...

    This week Dante comes disguised as a serious technician, laser-focused on making remixes right in front of your eyes and ears. This is one of those rare sets where you would not even feel comfortable interrupting the DJ for so much as a song title; tons of hard work going, all the time. The vibe moves handily from bright and sunny with straight beats to fresh sounds highlighting underground vi...

  John Kiser delivers both lyrics and spoken word with heartfelt vocals in 137. Moving decidedly out of his comfort zone, the mix weaves a very personal collection of messages. The podcast starts off with smooth beats that layout a progressive vibe later. John's signature depth in track selection still shines as the podcast takes on slightly more tranced feel before bringing it all home with some...

      We are dipping back into the breaks this week because the talent in Bobby Buzz is undeniably great.  With a heart-felt foot in the past, Bobby plays from a tracklist decorated with all manner of famous if not infamous samples.  But its with the other foot in progress that he pushes breaks and basslines to fresh place that only creatives dare to go.  The combined effect keeps you both guessin...

    Apparitional takes a very real form in this week's podcast from Scott Riley.  A dance form born from allure and haunt.  The melodic house takes front and center as Episode 134 performs equally well in broad daylight as it does in the throes of night.  We find Mr. Riley moving well off the more traditional progressive sounds and banging away with all manner of low end and drum track emotion.  T...

    Jason Brown understands breaks in a very cosmopolitan way.  Like great DJs of other genres, he knows how to matched distinguished vibes within the genre and also how to showcase the tracks which nails the peak of the funky vibe itself.  All throughout the mix he pushed and pulls.  The push happens when it would be easy to stick to one or another sampled loop, but instead he drives into totally...

    A true break-out effort from veteran Mark E Hunt this week; the song simply does not remain the same. All sorts of moody in this set and provided in 'art-first' fashion. The beginning is atmospheric and sometimes beat-less, but full of craft and style. The second half gives way to more obvious dance rhythms with polished techno stabs and an uplifting feeling.   Alternate Streams: FLAC ~ Highes...
