House is a Journey

2019 Dec Let there be (club cuts) house!   Still in the Club House! Going up tempo and though all tracks but 2 are from 201, this episode has a very funky club house feel. Soulsearcher, Dr Packer, DJ Spen, Grant Nelson, Low Steppa, Martin Ikin, KiNK and Bob Sinclar. Big names set. You will be on your feet within 30 minutes.   Starts with a 2019 Dr Packer remix of Soulsearcher’s “Feelin’ Love”. Hap...

2019 Dec Let there be (twisted disco) house!   Back in the Club! This one is all about the beats, the rhythm and old House clubs feels and sounds. Twisted Disco? House infused with a twist of Disco and Tribal.   Starts with disco remix of the classic “Do you Remember House?” from Re-Tide.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make mo...

2019 Dec Let there be (beach boys) house!   The Hed Kandi album art from Jason Brooks, fab as it was, wasn’t very gay friendly, with scores of Hed Kandi babes but not even one for the boys. After scouring the web, I finally found a pastiche of HED Kandi with a beach babe/boy.   In a similar summer vibe than the first instalment of the HeadCandi series, beach tunes with a hint of tropical house. An...

2019 Dec Let there be (sexy) house!   “ Lock the doors, I'm ready to get off ” true quote from Frankie Knuckles at the Power Plant in Chicago, where and when it all started!   Sexy Club Beats driven by a heavy bass and a hint of Funk for the later hours of the night. All tracks except 3 released in 2019.   Continuing the HedKandi homage with a fourth session of serious Funky Clubbers jams. For the...

2019 Dec Let there be (Serve Chilled) house!   Served Chilled. Pool house grooves with a hint of Soulful Disco. All tracks except two released in 2019.   Continuing the HedKandi homage with a third session of pool/summer vibe. Won’t sweep you of your feet. Yet, should you let the music play, you will find yourself with a smile, a boobin’ head and shoulders and feeling the summer beats engulf you....

2019 Dec Let there be (groove) house!     Bar into club soulful grooves with a hint of Disco. All tracks except two released in 2019.   Continuing the HedKandi homage with a set emulating Frankie Knuckles live set structure vibe and bpm range (suffice to say that I do not compare myself with the great Frankie).   Starts with a SuperClub dining atmosphere and moves into smooth clubland soundscape....

2019 Dec Let there be (beach) house!   Beach and Bargrooves. Starts chilled but you will end up on your feet.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HedKandi ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them , discovered tunes and artists c...

2019 Dec Nocturnal Series “Rabbit Hole”   Should be the last Progressive House upload for 2019. Attempted to close the year with a good one. Sasha, Depeche Mode, Nora En Pure, CamelPhat, Howling and Rüfüs du Sol make up a great playlist. At the crossover between Indie/Alternative and House, which is the space were most of the great tunes are recently coming from. A few Xtian’s Edits, with 2 half-d...

2019 Dec In the Dead of Night   For the night owls! Semi ambient, dark progressive house. Darker tunes, darker tones   Woke up in the middle of night, could not sleep and set Traktor to play 2015 to 2019 Dark Progressive tunes between 119 to 123 bpm. A.I. generated playlist!   Mixing is not A.I.    Playlist:   2015 Shined on Me (DJ Daso vs. Jean Aita Remix). Giorgio Sainz, Night Owl, Pesos, Lili (...

TranceMission “The Final Cut” Pt.2 (Life Happens)   Balearic Progressive Trance with once again a pretty current playlist of tunes I had never used except for a few of my classics which belonged in a testimonial upload. Fitting for what could be my last upload for a while. Lars this one is for you!   As the title says “Life Happens” and life has not been too kind for the last two years. This place...

Trance Mission “The Final Cut Pt.1” (Let Go) Fusion of (mostly) current higher bpm Trance and Progressive house. Set was originally 02:30:00 hours, thought I would spare you the massive data charge and cut it in two parts. Mostly Trance I have never used before meshed with a few of my classics. Are you ready for it? Most probably not! I hesitate to call it Trance as it is meant to be fusing Trance...

TranceFusion (Empty Streets)   Balearic Progressive Trance. First track "Empty Streets" is only a teaser. You WILL get a double dose of new Empty Streets remixes at the end of the set .. But you have to EARN IT! :)   Slowly re-embarking on the Trance voyage. I realized I had not uploaded " new Trance" since the beginning 2016. Starting here at the confine of Progressive and Trance. What prompted t...

2019 Oct 浦 东 Pudong  Progressions    Progressive House mostly chilled and non-vocal with a hint of Trance peppered throughout. Very current tunes except a pair of underground classics.   Pudong ( 浦 东 ) (East of Pu): the “new” Shanghai, a glimpse of what the 21st century megapolis will be. Whereas Puxi is vibrant, happening, alive, Pudong feels (I stand to be corrected bu locals) like a magnifi...

2019 Oct 浦西 Puxi Progressions   Apologies had to take it down and re-upoload as version was not final one.   Buyers beware! Set may start Dark & Progressive but you will end up straight on the dance floor..   The counterpoint of Pudong Progressions uploaded previously. To a certain extend almost bipolar.   Puxi (浦东) (West of Pu): the “old and traditional” Shanghai, unlike Pudong, Puxi is v...

2019 Sept Inwards     For all the night owls out there.   Chilled melodic and mostly current progressive house. A soothing set. Very little vocals, a few challenging tunes both for you, listeners, and for me to find the correct hopefully smooth transitions.   Another set, I will come back to as the vibe is sweet and soft.     Playlist: 2019 Blue Planet (Extended Mix). Boxer 2017 Stories Over (Apar...

2019 Sept 24th Fractures (It's Not Right But It's Okay)   Harder set (well, harder for me..). I may lose some listeners along the way but try to stay with me, you will back in familiar territory in the second part of the set. Sexy Progressive, sexy, heavy beats NYC underground house to start with fused with with higher BPM European Prog/Trance. Truly outside of my BPM comfort zone, ranging from 12...

Let’s Go (New) Old Skool!   Mostly new releases with a definite Old Skool feel but 2019 production.   For those old enough to remember, the sound, feel and rhythms of early house, infused with a dose of disco but already showing the feel of what house became.   So far removed from what my current state of mind is, this “happy” set might just be self-prescribed medicine for the soul.     Playlist:...

2019 Sept Made in China   Funky and Soulful House. Made live in China (Shanghai) with 100% US Grade Soulful House.   Just a fun party mood mix. Would also work at the gym if so inclined.   Playlist: 2019 Our House (Original Mix). Toni Toolz 2019 You Change My World (FAM Disco Remix). Jamie Lewis, Marc Evans, FAM Disco 2019 Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) (Michael Gray Dub Mix). Sylvester, Michael Gray...

2019 Sept LDN 2 NYC RETURN   Progressive and soulful house vibes in the deeper range. Hence the title. Somewhat slightly all over the shop but just going through the tracks I bought prior a long journey in China.     Playlist: 2019 A Brief Lesson in French (Original Mix). House Arrest NYC 2017 Power People (Jonas Saalbach Remix). S.Kull 2018 Medusa (Nikos Diamantopoulos & Christos Fourkis Main...

2019 Sept Recycled, Repurposed and Regrooved ( Cover art courtesy of Sylvain the FishMan ) Regrooved disco and soulful House past and future classics. Start with a Bee Gees number, Robyn Williams and even a bit of Italian Soulful House for Miss L. Not going to challenge you today..   Playlist: 2019 Night Fever (Sunset Mix). JFC 2018 Melodie (Mousse T's Extended Disco Shizzle Remix). Mousse T., Cle...

2019 Aug What is Nu Disco? (again..)   Edited the title since i used it way back then. Appears I am still unsur eof waht Nu Disco is...   First current set for 12 months with a lot of 2019 releases. In China, other sets should follow.   For those enjoying the last rays of the European summer, take the set to the beach, for those who live at the bottom end, take it to the gym or a spin.   With the...

2019 Aug The Panda chills..   Chilled progressive vibe with sprinkle of NYC underground house. Love this one. I rarely listen to my own tunes, once published, but have this one on repeat in my Chinese hotel room..   I hope you enjoy!  And extremely current…     Playlist:   2019 Swimming Places (Purple Disco Machine Re-Work). Julien Jabre, Purple Disco Machine 2019 Scared of Losing You (Original Mi...

2019 Aug Come on! Roll with me on this one!   Music with swag and attitude. Surrender 15 minutes of your audio-time and your body will tingle and your feet and shoulders will move to the rhythm.  Sexy,Deepish, Tech House, at times jackin’ with a hint of nu-disco. One of my favourite set for a long time. I had started buying some tech House in late 2017, bored as I was with soulful beats and as alw...

2019 Aug Back in the Building (through the Deep Door)   Deep House, suitable for loungin’, eating, reading. I have been told “Deep House” is boring, my answer is right here, just give the music time to get to you. Do not force it.   I recently was eating in an upmarket restaurant in Rome. Setting was uber-cool as expected, food amazing but the soundscape was just passable. As it is the sort of bra...

From way, way back in 2017.. I litterally had lost it. Originally called:   2017 March Chinese Chills Ep.2 (A stone's throw way from the very Democratic Republic of North Korea)   ( Oops.. I had forgotten to publish this.. from mid-March.. 2017 )   Chinese Chills Ep.2 (A stone's throw way from the very Democratic Republic of North Korea)   Going Up-tempo from Episode 1 yet still within the chilled...
