I took over the DL stream last night to spin some new tracks and loosen up a lil’. It’s my kind of house: smooth vocals, a touch of spoken word, ambient synths and a lil’ bit of tension through out. One of my favorites! Atish: Check out the Kaoss pad-like [...]

I was commissioned to do a chill mixset for a local restaurant last week to serve as their dining area soundtrack. “Lots of vocals and piano,” he said, “ya know, Naked Music stuff.” So, to appease the (Internet-bound) masses and my personal agenda as well, I took over the stream on Dogglounge.com and [...]

New imeem.com playlist: All Things Chill Radio – New Music 04.05.07. New singles from Linkin Park, Maroon 5, Modest Mouse and Joss Stone… all less than a week (or so) old… for me at least. I haven’t given everything a good listen… but things sound *ok* so far.

My watch reads 4AM.
It’s late. I still have some groove left in me… so I hit up the twilight after-hour spots in the Chi with my deep house familia. Smartbar always comes to mind… so we try and pack everyone in two Jettas that amazingly still smell of crayons. We [...]

Ever since I checked out Miguel Migs (coolio) and Mark Farina (meh) with *inhale* Mark, Atish, Alice, Jordy, Evan + friends *exhale* @ Ruby Skye (lol SF’s answer to Zentra *barf*) I’ve caught the booty shakin’ bug. So with this mixset, I wanted to have it BUMP BUMP BUMP from the get go. [...]

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 [...]

Late night mix session by yours truly. It’s good for working late at the office when no one else is around and for fast paced moonlit drives for a midnight rendezvous. Give a listen to the entire mixset using the audio player below:

Mr. N) did his set of his weekly show, Sashiko Sessions, on the Dogglounge yesterday… and since it was rockin’, I wanted to keep the vibe goin’ for just a liiiiittle while longer.

Mixset (recorded live on Dogglounge) is uploaded! It pretty much covers all definitions of house music: electro, latin, afrobeat, vocal and soulful house. I wanted to give you guys an overall view of the genre born straight outta Chicago. There are a lot of peak hour tracks in there, so feel [...]

I finally jumped on the Dogglounge to do an unannounced mixset. It’s about time. YAY EVERYTHING WORKED. LOL. I filled it with bumpin’ tracks dedicated to my friends back in Chicago who I miss dearly. XOXO.
