dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides. How is life treating you? Which part of the world are you from? Ever visit Toronto? Do you LOVE house or just dipping your toes in this sonic pond? Nothing like the universal connector, house music.  You either feel it in your gut and smile or you don't.  Can't explain, force or persuade.  Kinda like sexual attraction 😅...

What I remembered about this session is that my USB wouldn't work on the CDJ's. So Ian Moore aka Sleepy Freeman graciously let me play out of his USB folders. So this mix is mostly discovery in Sleepy's HOUSE...

dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides.  Classic house is a definition that depends on when someone got into house music themselves.

This is a classic house mix from the test mixes vault that...

dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides. It's almost the end of 2025. Time is relentless isn't it? I wish pain wasn't necessary to create beautiful art, but it seems to be the key ingredient. House music has been an outlet for my negative emotions since I was 14.

dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides. How has life been treating you? Comedy is such a beautiful art form. Just like house music and music in general. Anything that is really funny is because we know it to be true in our gut, but it's wrapped up and opened in surprising ways. You feel it. It's undeniable. Love Patrice O'Neal (RIP) and Bill Burr, followed by...
