    The EarTheater crew has been churning out one great mix after another. I had the opportunity to give this weeks mix an early listen during a long walk in the park; it was perfect. This is what I would call 1 AM in the martini bar versus 4 AM in the 'club.'  The greatest compliment I can give a DJ is that I got lost in the mix, just grooving without ever noticing a change in tempo or key. Chris...

Future Strangers Groove, is it a warning or mere prediction?  Dante takes his podcast to a wide range of destinations in search of those strangers.  The early tracks lure you in with some sophistication.  The mix moves on to something much more raw and energetic.  Not the mosh pit of your youth but a solid bang throughout the middle.  The end enjoys a mellow path cut from straight-up house secrets...

    This week John Kiser delivers EarTheater Podcast 91 and points us to one collectable track after another.  John shows complete comfort in all things mixed and by his own admission is dedicated to phrasing each and every bridge.  His music selection glides across a variety of rhythms but always at great depth.  The progressive sound he achieves in this mix brings to light the multi-layered enth...

      Mark Hunt presses on this week with another new release podcast.  Plenty of creative bits going on here as the EarTheater crew starts blending even more to create original vibes.  The music moves effortlessly across smooth progressive and crunchy more obvious dance. Pay close attention as the line between DJing and Production are blurred.  Some sweet vocals are well placed throughout and eve...

    ViLLO puts up a three hour set this week!  Easily the longest intro ever as he devotes the first section to funky rhythms across both synth pads and basslines.  The mix then drives stright up the middle of the dance floor with a booming devotion to 4/4 and ViLLO's signature sounds from the underground.  Its fun and carefree as the set moves into the last hour with things like a YekeYeke remix...

    By the 10 minute mark, you know Scott Riley is preparing for a serious podcast session.  The progressive vibe is pared-down and focused.  But the mix gets seriously moody after about 40 minutes and never looks back.  There is great variety in everything from the stable of producers, to the moving basslines.  Explorations is a captivating and serene production while still kicking both feet in g...

    This mix is a sizable remark about the human elements available to electronic producers today.  Dante serves up a constant barrage of style and sound that makes it hard to believe there aren't real musicians in the studio.  Its got a sweet allure as the intro gives way almost immediately to a big bump in your Sunday night dance vibe.  Later the tracks become more sophisticated as the hook dive...

        Scot Shapiro kicks off this weekend with his newest mix 'Closer' for EarTheater. A smooth 6 minute ambient intro that blends nicely into some old school progressive breaks and continues onto some pounding beats. Scot really knows the craft of mixing and it shows throughout his dynamic process of carefully selecting music from a variety of genres. It's undeniable the euphony of this mix wil...

    Movin' Melodies is a most appropriate name for Chris Tennant's mix, but his timing is the name of the game.  Chris shows real mastery of his gear here and the track list is a set of highly skilled labor.  Perfect examples that define the Melodic House genre.  No surprise at all that Bjork shows up around the hour mark to put her unique stamp on things.  Listen carefully and you find each track...

  Tom Rudolf is our special guest this week.  He brings artful tracks and a smooth mix out of Santa Barbara, California.  There will not be any time for talking as you follow Tom across bridges which are effortless and sublime, in both genre and atmosphere.  The mix builds straight up into a plateau full of pads and rhythms which provide both energy and tranquility.  A less often nod to nostalgia...

      Genre-busting, heart-filling, and my favorite mix so far from this EarTheater resident!  This set is a shot straight from the soul of electronic dance.  You won't find emotional content this good, curated for one hour, and blended as smooth as glass in many places in the world.  This is what new music does best.  It captivates, it motivates and then drives the listener to go get more out of...

    Episode 082 could easily have been titled "Better Late Than Never", but EarTheater knows that true is better than done.  In the first half of Inner Rebel Mark lays out a melodic progressive vibe that offers a softer side of upfront dance.  The second half showcases Mark's dedication to new and unreleased tracks which bring true late night energy to a dance floor.  Enjoy!     STREAMS: M4A - 512...

        The world famous #DarinEpsilon gifts us a live set and we return the favor with an exclusive hi-def #FLAC stream podcast.  The dance-vibe is strong with one.  You can just see the crowd, stomping it out live in Berlin at #SuicideCircus earlier this month.  The mix is a showcase of late night, progressive dance music club sound.  Its not hard to imagine the room, pushing dance beats from al...

          Sassy rhythms are served up all the way through Keep Pushin Salvation.  Episode 080 is a romp of style and atmosphere.  The early sass comes from a series of basslines which constantly change and mingle from track to track.  Later the modern disco gives way to progressive lines and its the bridges themselves which produce the sassy sway.  in the final third, melodic house provides a head...

      Scott Riley is on deck this week with Episode 079 Inanimence.  Progressive dance music is always the new black.  In this mix moodiness lives happily alongside big synths and straight-up dance rhythms.  The mix moves along at quick pace with only occasional breaks for air, and even those have beats.  Scott highlights his dance floor interests with producers like Eelke Kleijn, AFFKT, and Monol...

      Melancholy is one of the strangest feelings to describe.  It shifts around, peaks, and can even go unnoticed for long periods of time.  Music has the uncanny ability to help define and solidify our personal experiences; even the ambiguous ones.  The mix drives straight up the key notations without a pause.  I hope you find your own feelings in each and every track.  No holds barred and genre...

      Our Sunday evening release brings some very needed chill to the summer.  There is all manner of ambient, funk and groove mixed in this podcast.  I spent some time digging through styles and release dates spanning almost 7 years.  I hope the mix leaves you well and relaxed.  Enjoy!     Bitrates: M4A - Best Compressed   MP3 - 320k     Track Listing: 01  Weathertunes - Tranquility 02  Kreidler...

        John Berry delivers Episode 074 this week and with a fever.  Electronic music is known for change and adaptation, but John's passion for quality production never gives in to mere trends.  By always keeping his ear open for timelessness in audio, John mixes up a dance wave of tunes which will grow your appreciation and stay interesting to your ears for years to come.  Future classics await...

      Melodies are the saving grace of electronic music.  They are sustained by keys, and layers, and space-time itself.  Episode 073, Killahurtz by Mark Hunt is a perfect example.  Throught out three distinct sections, it is the melodies which let loose the boundaries of the sequence and lift the tracks well out of the traps of loopy machines.  Sit back or exercise, in either case, Mark's podcast...

      After a long ramp we can finally hear, see, and feel the vibe of ETs newest resident.  Scott Riley delivers the goods; and in various styles.  DJing well can be won and lost in the bridges made between the tracks.  In this episode, Scott's mixing takes those bridges beyond, and creates what John Digweed has termed 'transitions' between atmospheres.  No reason to bore you with genre talk.  Th...

          John Hession sheds his own lush and detailed progressive status quo in Episode 071.  Its a horizontal move for sure as he brings a sorely-missed bump and grind back to center stage.  The synths lean more on tough and chuggy while the dance vibe remains squarely progressive throughout.  John does hold tightly to his melodic House head and that gives the whole mix plenty of polish.  Enjoy!...
