House DJ Mixes Archive - 2000
DJ experiment: a practice session to sharpen new skills. I’m always up for it! This time, I tried something totally different: mixing a DJ set comprised of tracks that are already featured in other DJs’ mixes. We’ve done similar things before—remember those days of opening a fresh mix CD and wanting to drop a track right away? It’s tougher than it sounds: less time to cue, and getting the pitch right can be tricky. Yet, this spontaneous approach turned into one of my favorite mixes, highlight-worthy for its bold, on-the-fly vibe. Artists: Problem Kids, Zero Db, Nick Holder, Peace Division, Suba, Powder Productions, Orpheos, Plastic Avengers, Audiomontage, Halo Varga, Marino Berardi, Mood II Swing Killer Loop, Sound of Soul, Sandy Rivera & Jose Burgos
This DJ mix is the “other version” of the music style shift I planned for 2000, which I named Fast Change. If you’re after Funky, Disco, Uplifting, Progressive, and Deep Tech House, you’ll find it all in this mix. You’ll notice I’m still rooted in French House, but the focus here is funkier, with some of the finest deep house producers featured as well: Disco Pimps, JNX, Silicon Soul, Sunshine Funk, Gardeweg, Didier Sinclair & Chris, Rinôçérôse, Yonkapin, Discocaine, Conga Squad, C-Mos, Jark Prongo, Kevin Yost, Terry Lee Brown Jr., Chilly Hi-Fly, Salome De Bahia, DJ Zorra.
As an active resident DJ, I spent many nights behind the decks week after week. Over time, I realized I was steering my music toward pleasing a passionate crowd, which isn’t the best approach. So I pressed reset and returned to my musical roots: deep and soulful underground house. In this mix, I’ve curated and mixed tracks of genuinely high quality—ones I can still enjoy 15 or 25 years from now. It’s deeper, more jazzy, and funkier, with a stronger sense of soul. Here are the artists you’ll hear in this mix: Modern Quartet, Russ Gabriel's Audio Spectrum, Alton Miller, Nuages, Eglantine, Toni Mono, MD Company, Dance Or Die, Jovonn & DJ Deep, D'Julz Blaze, Incognito, DJ Q, Alison David & The Black Science Orchestra, Mood II Swing, Mateo & Matos
What does it take to be a DJ? Beyond a trusty mixer, decks, headphones, and style, great dance music is the real crowd-pleaser on the floor. For this mix, I’ve curated some of the best “cyber disco” tracks with a touch of tech and progressive house. You’ll notice a few artists you’ll hear here and probably nowhere else—and that’s part of the point. This is a future-tech disco DJ set, perfect for fans of faster, high-energy grooves. I hope you enjoy discovering these great artists, such as: Motel 6, Matthew Boone Vs. Discotexx, Scalawag, Master Blaster feat Antony DeMarco, Joe Negro feat Taka Boom, Mac Zimms, Robie Rivera, Olav Basoski, Wigwam, Bedlam, Eric Powell, Discotexx...
