All Things Chill

Original post here. Super excited to head down to Chicago and re-immerse myself into the familiar. I remember I did a Chicago theme’d mixset a few years back, so I decided to post it again. If you’re totally sick of my mixsets my man Jorge was featured on WNUR a few weeks [...]

Saved the company some $$$ by dj’ing the company party at the Seattle Space Needle! Good times, good times. Quick video before everyone showed up. Had to keep it family friendly and even though I played newer tracks for the kiddies at the end of the night… here’s a string of songs [...]

Via Skratchworx. Midi controlled sexiness. I love my Technics 1210’s, but I’d love a separate scratching gizmo to take on the road with me.
SELL THIS PLZ!

Flickr album here. So the gig went well and it was a really great turnout for a FREAKIN’ Tuesday. It was everything that the flyer said: Jorge spun the vinyl and I played the horn. Good times, good times.
Jacqui, Clint and Jake stopped by – looking totally FIERCE btw – [...]

I found this mixset archived on an old backup DVD and decided to give it another post, since it’s one of my favorite mixsets. Here’s what I wrote about it two years ago (wow, 12.14.2004!):
Another mix out for you guys. I haven’t made such an emotion fueled mix since this one right here. This [...]

THE CURIOUS J & SPECIAL DARK PERFORMING LIVE AT CLUB 720
Tuesday March 25, 2008
Just like they’ve done so many times before in Minneapolis, MN, Milwaukee, WI, Detroit, MI and Seattle, WA… the Dogglounge.com duo of The Curious J and Special Dark is coming at you live and direct – this time in their hometown and [...]

I spun a mixset on Christmas… only so I could claim the mixset title Eggnog Uprising. LOL. This first iteration of this (hopefully) annual series of mixsets was straight bumpin’ fron the start and eases into some lush, sexy-time beats at the finish. It has a couple of tracks you’ve heard (Say [...]

In the next few weeks, I’ll be going through another life-changing event… which means I’ll be packing up my DJ gear… which means new Dogglounge mixsets will be put on hold for at least 1.5 months. In the meantime, check out my archives, as well as my co-residents for their new takes on the [...]

Seriously… 70 minutes of bump, bump, bump. It starts with a happy vibe, moves into a lil Latin / Afro-Cuban (lots of crazy drums), gets a little insane @ the end and finishes with one of my favorite all-time tracks (thanks Jorge for the heads up!). Oh, and of course… some scratching to [...]

Margaret requested that I re-upload an old mixset, Study Breaks: Volume 1… so uhhh… I did. Hee hee. One of my favorite mixsets, it’s a bit on the jumpy side… so be prepared to shake your ass! An excerpt (from the same post from almost exactly two years ago!) follows:
Since I’ve convinced [...]

My Dogglounge brotha from another motha, Jorge – AKA The Curious J – is performing LIVE @ Smartbar in the heart of the Northside of Chicago. He won the mix competition! WHAT A RESUME BOOSTER! LOL. He’s blowing up! LOL I’M SO PROUD!!! If you’re in the city, please make [...]

Ok ladies and gents… another mixset for your listening pleasure recorded LIVE on the (newly redesigned!!!) DOGGLOUNGE.COM. Its rather eccentric with some mushroom jazz / electro in the beginning, vocal soul in the sweet, creamy center… a lil’ bit of afro and Latin beat and finishing off with a sexy deep house cover of [...]

Atish made a song. Atish video blogged himself performing that song. Herschell liked the song very much. Very much indeed. Herschell skratched over it using Dj Tigerstyle’s Zero skratch record. Herschell recorded live (read: kinda sloppy) and posted it on his blog as an .mp3 link and via the [...]
