house music by dattrax

dattrax: Can't believe it's Aug and only a month left of summertime weather in Toronto. Always having the issue of not enough time to enjoy this love of house. It's been two months since the last mix, so we promise to put at least one more out this month to bookend this wonderful summer. Made this mix over probably five times to get the right feel to properly showcase these tracks. Mixed for those...

dattrax: It was with great sadness as we saw facebook light up with 'Rest in Peace' shout outs to "Romanthony" (real name Anthony Moore, 1967 – May 2013). In Toronto we grew up with Romanthony records like his four-vinyl "Romanworld" compilation, and singles in that album and pre-dated that album like "Now You Want Me" (a Toronto anthem at 3am sat. ngt. warehouse sessions- one of our favourite ins...

It's been a while Fellow House Fiends, hope everyone is enjoying family & friends, life and working hard achieving your goals. It's increasingly more difficult to put aside time for this love of ours called House Music. But we would be thrilled if this house mix put a huge smile on your face, make you shake a little, and make you forget your deadlines at work, financial challenges or any other...

Afflicted with the house bug? Don't worry, we know how you feel. Been addicted to house music since were were 16yrs old. This is the best time for house music we've ever seen. It's wonderful to be excited every week about new house tracks you've never heard at your favourite mp3 stores. House DJ/ Producer friends on facebook and twitter sharing their mixes, their youtube video picks of cool house...

Cheers, dattrax WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS HOOPLA ONLINE ABOUT DJS WHO USE SYNC BUTTONS TO MATCH BEATS? Sync or no-sync, at the end of the day it's about rocking crowds, making great memories and experiences, so it doesn't matter. If you have...

dattrax: Has it been almost a month since the last dattrax house mix was posted? This summer is blazing by. Hope everyone is enjoying their July where ever they may be in the world and spending ever moment with the ones they love. We got an email notice a few weeks ago from the company that does our cool counter to the right that we have hit 2000 cities with unique visitors to this site- that's be...

dattrax: Welcome Everyone!!!! Again we are in a position where there is SO MUCH GREAT HOUSE MUSIC COMING out each week, and so little time making good mixes. Jim and I (for those who don't know we DJ together as 'dattrax' and have been best friends for ages) have bought a few more batches since we bought the music on this mix a few months ago. So we have enough new music (well... new to us since w...

dattrax: Hello Fellow HOUSE FIENDS!! Welcome to you are just visiting for the first time. Can't believe it's been over a month since we had a chance to post a new house mix... where does the time go? With work and family there's hardly enough time for house... it's a crime. Jim, my DJ Partner and I are beat junkies and are constantly hunting for new tracks. Not "new" tracks meaning that they have...

dattrax: Happy Easter Everyone and just wanted to share a little of the spring sunshine with you in a form of a new HOUSE MIX! May God Bless you all and your loved ones. And if you don't feel blessed right now, then know that without a doubt that He DOES LOVE YOU and hopefully you'll realise that someday. This week, thinking about getting a new car stereo deck was dancing in my mind. The one I bou...

dattrax: Welcome Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a new house mix for you with tracks by: The SNO-MEN (BIG THANKS to Steve Primiani & Mark Kufner for their debut track, "Dream of Drums" at 29:33mins into this mix - ENJOY this TORONTO HOUSE GEM! Thanks Steve for sending me this killer track! ), Jason B., Guerilla Science, Random Soul, Mood 2 Swing, Karizma, Fingers Inc., Postal Service, Jimpster, Ma...

dattrax: WELCOME EVERYONE!! WOW!!! Two months since the last mix was uploaded. In an ideal world I'd love to pump out a mix a week and much respect to the DJs that regularly pump out house mixes. Lots of discipline and love displayed there. Thank you to all the HOUSE DJS out there for sharing with people your hard work finding the gems, and piecing together something that can be enjoyed with multi...

dattrax: Wanted to put these tracks into a good mix before they became classic house... really, really wanted to make this mix before Christmas. Unfortunately best laid plans often times don't become realised as work and family leave very small opportunities to indulge in my hobby. But if I had a soundproof room where I can have house music blaring at any time of day or night- wow, that would be a...

dattrax: Welcome our New and Old friends. Thank you for dropping by. Every House DJ out there when you spin at every crappy venue there is...  just to hear your music LOUD. Ha ha ha.   So funny. I saw Karizma on a youtube vid talk about people requesting stuff when you are deep into a house mixing fever. (Karizma btw... is a wicked house DJ & producer from NYC. I saw him for the first time in...

dattrax: Summer is here in Toronto- the sun is shining and the temperature is at a usual beautiful 27 Degrees Celsius and higher- consistently now. Just in time for a summertime all vocal house mix! Usually like to do one of these back to back vocal mixes per year. We usually have a personal DJing rule of never mixing a vocal into a vocal, but we shelve that once per year. Think the last summer mi...

dattrax: Just bought about 25 new tracks from stompy.com and traxsource.com plus a few older ones and banged out this mix. 3rd track in is "In Too Deep", a brand new Phil Collins tribute bootleg by Toronto's Jason Barham. Happy Retirement Mr. Collins. This is the 2nd mix made with the Traktor Kontrol S4 (pictured top). Starting to get used to the basic functions. Pretty good response time on the j...

dattrax: This mix is representative of our dattrax sound: aggressively layered and textured house. We play all sorts of house tracks mashed into one continuous mix, whether deep, vocal, tech, funky, or anything else that makes us dance. It's always about dancing or at least bopping your head until you have to see a chiropractor, otherwise it's just boring. There's something beautiful about hearing...

dattrax: These past two weeks I've been reacquainted with some old DJ friends and met some new ones on FaceCrack. It's been a blast sharing each others' house mixes online (no more cassette tapes or cds!!). I've been inspired time and time again by tons of great house music from Toronto DJs & Producers. We always think that the grass is greener elsewhere. Torontonians want to talk about how gr...

dattrax: It amazes us how house has grown into so many genres within itself, but the love of house is universal. It's so much fun to make a mix and share it online with HouseHeadz all over the world. DJing is such a blast!! You get to put together your favourite songs anyway you want. Any speed, any length for each track, how you mix trxs in or out, how you like it to sound with more bass for some...

This was an all vinyl house mix. --------------- How do we describe the dattrax sound? Always Fun, Tech-Fused, Funky-Foot Stompin', Carved Deep and Woven & Laced with Sweet Smooth Hands in the Air Vocals... Strictly House Music- always dattrax. --------------- You're on our main site with 200+ mixes. Free mobile app or go to the Podomatic website: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/dattrax Jus...

dattrax: Made this mix with M-Audio's Xponent midi-controller, their Torq software & my laptop. After using my friend's Xponent a few times I'd have to say that I'm not a fan. (Sorry, not being ungrateful Devon. Thank you for letting me borrow it). The cueing of tracks from the beginning on the jog wheels don't work each time, so you have to use the forward/backwards buttons a lot- major pain...

dattrax: We want to THANK every single visitor for coming to our site over the last 15mths. We love house music just as much as you do. We started this site at the end of jul2009 not knowing what to expect from all this online stuff (we're a few years removed from all the younger people who actually understand the internet). But WOW... over 65 mixes on this site now- it's oct.7th, 2010, and our ba...

dattrax: My DJ Friends often called hunting for great tracks, "Junk Hunting". That's what we all do who love spinning House, don't we? We went though beatport.com & traxsource.com for weeks and probably listened to 2500+ tracks to buy 68 between the both of us. Jim took beatport and I took traxsource. I think our total bill was less than $140 bucks. In the vinyl days, it would have cost at lea...
