EarTheater - DJ Mixes

    Scott Riley takes the edge off with Episode 128.  The beginning of the mix lays down long melodic vibes with mixes nothing short of sublime.  Artists like Monolink and Gabe Rhome provide sophisticated atmospheres across both deep and progressive vibes.  During middle (and high road) at about an hour on the clock, a variety of male vocals with a nod to the industrial age come front and center. ...

This podcast has become as much a passion as anything in my life.  I am grateful for the people I work with, every single week.  Its a positive and encouraging band of talent.  Without it my life would be dramatically different.  After many months hiatus I am also thankful to help fill in some guest spots with my current favs from the vast pool of summer releases.  Take some time and let music eng...

    Episode 126 uses a much more sublime and effective ramp to attention this week.  Dare I say the intro vibe is downright sultry?  The mixes are smooth and this house music doles out that special kind of invitation.  After being totally consumed by the intro Dante makes a steady move to the energetic.  As the mix ramps away from the free-verse of Roland Clark, the house mix quickly establishes a...

    John Kiser has loaded this podcast with tracks, quite frankly, I am disappointed to not put on my mix!  This podcast marks a move for Mr. Kiser.  The style drives a more consistent dance line throughout.  The progressive and melodic styles are woven into a long ramp with more energy in the second half.  The Acumen track is a scorcher reminiscent of the industrial age but NEWER.  And we love th...

    Chris Tennant sets podcast 124 off with an intro that brings a heartbeat to mind. It's natural, soothing, and yet drives like a train on tracks. Progressive blends with melodic house and back again. There is a lot of straight-forward dance here but in Chris own way, he hangs that dance vibe on an emotional drift.  Its sublime.  Using some supreme concentration Chris has stitched together songs...

As the dance music field continues to splinter genres, we can be sure Deep House is enjoying a stable place in the hearts and minds of producers.  This set begins with some breaks, and an avant-garde beat that deserves more ears.  It all works well to get you tuned in (paying attention was never so easy).  Progressive sounds move tightly around the 4/4 measure but an endless atmosphere of longer p...

At 1 hour, the underground rhythm style by newcomers Makanin and Marie...

    Quality DJing is a rare thing in this era of one-night stands and festivals rosters full of unknown, uneducated, talent.  More rare, is when one shows the passion and commitment to be called a DJ's DJ.  A set of music deserving of the dancefloor, but often so underground it's a tough sell.  John has massed and mixed a collection of styles calling all ears.  From the almost alternative sound at...

This week we give a big shout out and thanks to Dave Ackers.  His podcast brings us back around to all that is smooth and sultry in house.  Dave strikes an almost melancholy vibe early and with aritists like Two Lone Swordsmen and Satoshi Tomiie providind the sounds you can imagine the sould quality.  However, when Dave mixes Perception into Give Me Yours by Bedrud the mix takes off in a very fres...

     Episode 114 finds Chris pushing style boundaries deep inside the progressive the vibe.  Chris always delivers top drawer structure in his mixes; the bridges are long and articulate.  This is podcast is a real departure for Chris.  Using his ear for nuance (especially in the lofty pad arrangements) the vibe is carried along in most sublime manner.  As the drum track styles evolve and change, C...

    Very fine progressive slammer from Mr. Tennant this week.  And by very fine, I mean the details really tell the dance story in this episode.  Straight beats are often the only thing many people hear when listening to dance music.  And rightfully so, they literally drive the tracks.  Once you pay closer attention, to basslines a deeper story starts to form.  But even then, its the advent of sub...

The second half is transcendental. It brings us back to the core of why house possessed our spirits in the first place. - John Atchley   ST...
