EarTheater - DJ Mixes

    It feels like our guest this week has been travelling forever.  We have been hounding him to give up a slice of life on the road.  Robby's recent travels in and out of the US have brought international polish to a DJ style already well-versed in both the warmth and fun of a dance floor.  Early in this set Robby delivers straight-forward and uplifting house.  Later he moves quickly from track t...

    Scott Riley shows off his penchant for layering music in Episode 118.  More than just a collection of emotional tracks, this week's podcast quite literally sets a stage.  Even a funky track is blended in and out, seamlessly.  The first hour is a melodic house blend with an occasional progressive highlight.  Those hints are fully realized at the hour mark as a progressive stormer takes over the...

    Dante has rounded up a great big fun collection of dance music this week.  The message is even more clear due to excellent mix-downs and audio quality.  His podcast kicks off with a house vibe and Dante's signature nod to the disco realm we all love.  Soon enough the underground roars through with a track by Hot Since 82.. 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...

     Dante pitches a ridiculously alluring intro with this weeks podcast.  It makes no difference where you are, the sultry and building house vibe will get you in the mood for music.  And with that, Dante mixes across some very tough bridges and keeps the vibe building.  Eventually, the long pads give way to some obvious tech.  The baseline becomes the next piece of the dance stage.  Suffice to s...

    Playing music at the right time can make memories which last a lifetime.  Playing music that removes your sense of time and replaces it with contemplation is a whole 'notha level.  Its time to be honest about Deep House.  Its gooey, but its the real deal, personal vibe.  Even at 120bpm, it moves around the room quickly and gets right under your skin.  Replaces your heartbeat with rhythm and li...

    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...

    Dante takes us on a different journey than his more recent tech house bangers.  This mix is a journey through emotional states that reminds us of simpler times with less responsibilities and more freedom.  The first half is full of passionate, savage soul. 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...

      This week our podcast has emotional ebb and flow and another mix highlighting exotic vocals.  Love it.  The mix begins, almost breathing, and quickly replaces all the air in the room with warm ear-candy.  And from there, it never looks back.  In and out of vocals, up and down with edgy progressive and lush melodic pads.  You can't help but rise and fall with the energy in the drumtracks as w...

Episode 102 is a shorter, sweeter pump station of dance music. After a short transitional piece which clears the air of all things non-music, the progressive dance vibe steps right up. A constant barrage of drum track elements gives way to much needed ambient breaks. The breaks have some centered vocals which go beyond the atmosphere of samples and bring about more of a highlighted stage presence...

    Scott Riley has nailed the club vibe in our weekly podcast. The intro is enough draw you in and with purpose. For the first third, the progressive vibe is an almost constant rise. In true dance floor spirit, the next third is a long sustain of energy. Up until then you might not realize how much time you have spent amid the range of ethnic and classic strings. But by the last third, there is a...

    Progressive music moves the world forever in the direction of change.  Dante uses many elements of that change in this mix.  The most distinct element here and one which so clearly defines the underground of music, is the beat.  Tech, melodic and even downgroove genres are all represented and highlighted with sublime mixes.  But pay attention to the rhythm of the  beat itself.  Its busy with a...

    Episode 097 comes with a definitive amount of patience and depth.  After an intro with both draw and intention, the mix flows well through the modern vibes of deep and melodic house.  There are no shortage of layers to keep your attention spanned and your heart pumping.  Bordering on techno at times, the dance vibe is matched a certain serenity and texture end to end.  This is what we mean whe...

Music has a face for every emotion. This week Dante explores the downgroove with an about-face to the typical electronica pushing a lounge atmosphere.  The mix is very comfortable in some left-of-center rhythms and still easy to let go and follow.  This DJ's selection never stops reminding us that real musicians are doing hard labor to provide these chill vibes; they are tainted echoes.  - Enjoy  ...

Amazing.  A couple of the early tracks in this mix are worth looking into to collect, even as a non-DJ.  Let the tra...
