I love good ending tracks -- the ones where you clearly know the DJ is bringing it all home and lifting up the room. So I thought I'd try a whole set of epiphanic ending tracks. It ain't easy to sustain that feeling, but I'm not big on playing things safe, which means risking failure. Personally, I'd rather fall off a high wire than walk a sidewalk with amazing grace. NUMINOUS -- PLAYLIST: 01. Aba...

I don't know how this happened, honest. I started off with a way-cool retro Tiki-bar gradient-shades pretend-shoot how-ya-doin hipster mix. About midway through I realize that somehow the hipsters have left the room and the serious partying has commenced. People are gettin funkified. Bumpin grindin bobbin grinnin. About the last eight minutes everybody sees the light and in wordless communion puts...

Groovelectric exits 2006 with a bang, starting with an acapella mashup over a Kate Bush remix, some seriously hardcore New Old Funk, and a retro remix combo climax that rings out the old and rings in the new at the same time. === RUNNING FROM THE SKY -- PLAYLIST: 01.

At first you'll think you're at one of those planetarium Floyd laser shows. Then we ease into the jazz lane, slide on over to big-time crowd-bobbin' New Old Funk, and hit cruise control for the rest of the trip. The kind of party I like to be at no matter which side of the decks I'm on. MY KINDA PARTY - PLAYLIST 01. Katcha - Touched by God (Quiet Storm Mix) 02. Roland Clark - Valley of House (Acap...

The first half of this mix is the New Old Funk you've come to know and love from the good folks here at Groovelectric. The second half is not only breaks, but breaks remixes of some surprising stuff. I think there are about three times in this mix where you'll say, You have got to be kidding me. Naturally we hope you mean this in a good way. FUNKDATBREAK - PLAYLIST 01. Seven By Eight - Granada (06...

I'm hardly the first person to notice that being in a club under the right circumstances (great music, great DJ, great crowd) can feel like being in a house of worship. But this week I thought it would be fun to play tracks that address this more directly. For me, the Roland Clarke acapella on Track 4 says it all. COME INTO MY HOUSE - PLAYLIST: 01. Slum Science - Preacher & The Bear 02. Jasper Str...
