It was simple: I’d find, download, prep, and mix fresh house tracks every Saturday night. People would tune in "like crazy" because it was new for them, new for me, and it felt like good old (new) house music all over again. You know these names, right? DJ Romain, Darryl D’Bonneau, Mod, Seawind, Emily McEwan, Demarkus Lewis, Audioguys, Herb Martin, L’Home C’est Chique, Metrosoul, The Beard, Lady Amma, Uneaq…
We’ve got one silky, smooth, jazzy, funky, soulful, and deeply rich mix here. I even dropped in my own track, “It’s gotta be deep”, give it a listen! What I did on the radio station every Saturday: I’d spin my current deep house hits list and fresh new tracks each week, with a little chat in between to keep the energy going. Some artists I’m into these days include Freak Commission, The Regionalists, Jan Kruger, Cajmere, Kiko Navarro, Jah Ques, Cory Wells, MFM feat. George Caper, Weekend World, Blacksoul, The Coffee Kidz, and Deepgroove.
With my new DJ laptop always ready, I planned a nonstop mixing session for a joy-filled crowd. After adopting Native Instruments Traktor, I could log nearly all my sets without hassle. I later realized many of my recordings (101%) are perfect for parties, simply press play and let the night roll with guests. This long set ran for about four hours nonstop. Shoutout to the favorites I love: Brad Holland, Audiowhores, Blaze, Louie Vega, Anane, Julius Papp, D’Layna, MOD, D’Stephanie, Crico Castelli, Barbara Tucker, Dave Storm, Seminal Grooves...
This very long, very good live DJ mix marks my first recording at Lounge Cafe (R.I.P.). Lounge was, for me, the best cafe in Novi Sad, ideal for nu-jazz and the deep, soulful side of house music. The nights were always packed with an amazing crowd, and during the day they pumped in lounge vibes that let you unwind and chill. I didn’t have proper DJ equipment that night, but I was excited to share everything I’d collected for this kind of event. Take a look at the lengthy track listing; it’s a testament to the great party energy we had. I mixed for over six hours, featuring artists like Crazy Penis, Blakkat, Rivera Rotation, J.Axel, Kenny Carvajal, DJ Deep, Fred Everything, Minus 8, Suges & Martino, Miguel Migs, Native New Yorkers, I_Shead, Blaze, and E-man.
Yes, I know, I think I've gone too far, I used word Anthems in the mix title, but for sure tracks are Deep & Electro and year was 2002! No beat-matching, pure fast mixing, just to present best music and artists as much as I can. Most important thing is that I can listen to these tracks today, all the time, and I'm never gonna be bored with this mix. This is more chill electro than clubbing electro, many tracks could be easily gone to my jazzy or Nu-Jazz folder, but somehow I liked them better here. I hope you gonna find this mix very interesting and that you'll have good parties. Cceck it out now!
