house music by dattrax

dattrax: This mix starts w/ Lisa Shaw's beautiful vocals on a track called "Someday". I don't know how many vocal tracks she has done since her Naked Music days, but we can't get enough of her (we probably own a dozen at least). 2nd track is "Battery Man" by Fish Go Deep. These guys just keep banging out amazing house vocal tracks! Love their work. At 12mins, one of our top three favourite Charles...

dattrax: Sorry about the skip in first 3mins everyone. I transferred these two mixes from tape and didn't know how to do that properly back then. Something happened w/ the digital file. and I get trigger happy throwing stuff out or deleting things, so... some regrets occur w/ music. you can tell this was influenced by tons of partying at INDUSTRY niteclub. Wow... Derrick Carter, Cevin Fisher, Roge...

dattrax: I made this on my friend’s Allen & Heath XONE: 92 set up with two Technics SL-DZ1200 cd turntables(pictured here) in her three floored Bar/ Lounge in downtown Toronto. This mixer outputs great crisp sound, and looks & feels great. It’s sturdy and responsive- that’s probably why I’m not into midi-controllers (yet), they feel like toys and all the knobs and slides are super loose w/...

dattrax mini bio part 9… DAT: Just before these times when these tracks were not called 'classics'... when you went to the record store each week from your crappy, low paying and unfulfilling job there would be 30 DJs listening to the same 15 records that came out. Then you'd buy it. Go home and listen to each track a few times, and then make a mixed tape with the fresh buys mixed in with the rest...

dattrax: The title basically says that there is nothing organic about this mix. Techy, electronic, funky w/ a slight tribal feel. Charging beats and harder edged layering. It has a relentless and aggressive pace. This mix begins w/ Ladytron's "Playgirl", a gem that I found in a Queen St. W. record store called "Rotate This" in a back bin of techno records. Just pulled up any record that had cool a...

dattrax: Little Louie Vega is incredible if you’ve seen him live. This guy mixes like the songs were produced together, not like separate tracks. He DJs like a musician- can’t even describe it, you have to experience him. I always wonder what it’s like to know how house music tracks are made from conception to post production, and then spin them? Jim and I just know what house tracks we love, but...

dattrax: Went into an HMV at Bloor & Yonge in Downtown Toronto a while ago for some mixed house cd listening. I needed a house music fix badly. Stayed for hours listening to at least 40 "electronica" cds. They hated me there because the staff have to reseal the ones that you don’t buy. CDs are expensive, you have to love what you spend your hard earned dollars on. Bought these five for about $...

dattrax: House Music to me is a flood of memories, images & feelings into my mind of good times & complete bliss. Music is so powerful in connecting our memories to particular songs or styles of music. Being at a party with loud house music and people everywhere with smiles plastered on their faces is like living your own music video fusing together the powerful elements of music + imagery...

dattrax mini bio part 14… JIM: “Dat was a practice monster, and had made a few dozen mixed tapes that he duplicated, into a few hundred, he burns through gear like nobody’s business, tape decks, cd recorders, CPUs, monitors, you name he’s killed it. Through just plain old overuse, Dat’s not a DJ, he’s a House Monster. But he had labeled those tapes “dattrax” and at the time I couldn’t come up with...

dattrax mini bio part 13… JIM: “I met Dat when I was sixteen years old. We hit it off immediately our shared love of House Music, being equally broke and just general teenaged HouseHeads. We had a lot of mutual acquaintances, who neither of us know where they are now or what they’re up to. It was completely normal for us to be out every day of the week to listen to House Music. Everywhere we would...

dattrax mini bio part 12…   JIM: “A friend of mine named Marco told me about this underground house music thing, gave me a tape, made by his friend Tony. It had Raze’s “Break for Love”, Fast Eddie’s “Acid Thunder” and the new hit by Bobby Konders, “The Poem”. I was in the record store the next day and bought: Bobby Konders - The Poem On Virgo Traxx (New York Kidz) – When You Hold Me Larry Heard –...

dattrax mini bio part 11… JIM: “My earliest recollections of listening to music, was listening to my Dad belting out the entire Beatles catalogue from the back seat of our yellow Volkswagen beetle- Hey, it was the seventies! My Dad had a decent collection of vinyl, the entire Beatles collection, a serious Elvis collector and a huge country western collection. It only ever seemed strange to other p...

dattrax mini bio part 10… DAT: “Also back then you'd listen to 10 different hot DJs spin the same tracks- it was incredible to see their stamp on house. Their sonic signature if you will. I was in love with house and DJing when I realised that it wasn't music in the sense of Mozart, but a form of self expression- participating in making a musical collage. Like a musical cut and paste. You get to p...

dattrax mini bio part 8… Dat: “Just wanted to add that when I made a mix called "CLASSIC" (available on this site) when house started splintering in Toronto, and was being made by everyone and anyone in their basement. Which is great because of the variety and abundance in tracks this creates. Before DJ mixers came with single channel EQs for hi, mid and bass. Before fancy types of turntables &amp...

dattrax mini bio part 7… DAT: “’CLASSIC’ was one of my first cds (available on this site). WOW, technology!!! It was weird not to flip a tape after 45mins to record side B. One continuous 73 minute mix. This mix has always been well received because it invokes memories for people who attended those illegal warehouse parties that started at 1:30am on Saturdays in Downtown Toronto and went on till 7...

dattrax mini bio part 6… DAT: “House Music is a DJ's music. It is meant to be a musical collaged expression of what a particular DJ thinks and feels that is GREAT HOUSE! This is how mix tapes began. Years before I started buying records. I would record this 3hr Friday night radio show called FEAR EDIT 88.1 in Toronto with multiple cassette tapes. The DJs were Chris Sheppard and Deadly Headley...
