DeepLink
While working as a DJ in local clubs and venues, it’s only natural that I’ve gathered many great deep, soulful, jazzy house tracks. I began exploring good dance music in my teenage years in the late ’90s, and I’m still going strong. Over the years, I’ve been asked to mix some of the best house tracks for my friends and fans, so I decided it would be cool to share them online with the broadest possible audience. I’ve got plenty of DeepLink DJ Mixes on this website, feel free to listen, and if you really like them, download and share them with other house music lovers. Enjoy.
Deep Retro Grooves
Here is a collection of music I’ve cherished for a long time. Even now, I can still listen to it as if it were new. It features some of the oldest and finest house and deep house productions that feel timeless to me. Call it classics, retro, roots, yet it’s so much more than that. This music represents some of the best years of my life; it was my mainstream house for a long time, and it still is. For many listeners, though, it may feel underground.
Mix The Groove
This section of the site is dedicated to my online radio show, the DJ residency I hosted in 2007–2008 on UK internet radio MixTheGroove. Although the station eventually shut down, I preserved the shows as downloadable MP3s. Each episode is a pure DJ mix, it was music only with no talk. Every week, I carefully selected and blended some of the best and more niche deep, soulful, jazzy, and tech-house tracks. I hope you enjoy them.
Live DJ sets
On this page you’ll find my DJ sets, recorded live at some of my favorite clubs and venues. I was a resident DJ for many years, spinning four nights a week at the legendary Club Contrast, and I also held a resident night at Paradiso discotheque in Novi Sad. Lounge Café was the last venue where I performed weekly before moving to New York City. Each set offers a distinct vibe, and I encourage you to listen and download. The music is 99% house, with strong influences from Jazz, Nu-Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Afro-Latin rhythms and other elements.
Radio Shows
I’ve spent more than ten years as a DJ on numerous local radio stations in my city, and I’ve always enjoyed mixing new electronic music and curating engaging radio programs. Radio is wonderful because you know someone’s listening, even if you don’t know who they are or how many are tuned in. However, I didn’t record many of my DJ sets, though I did capture a few of my latest sessions from my favorite radio station ever, IN RADIO Novi Sad (1998–2009, R.I.P.). My main goal was to promote new and classic deep, soulful, funky, jazzy, Latin, and tech-house music while having fun in the process. These radio shows were recorded exclusively without my talk, just good old house music. Thanks for listening.
Long DJ Mixes
Years ago, while browsing my precious music collection, I began to imagine mixing my favorite tracks into an epic, long DJ set. I wanted a flow that could traverse different styles and folders from my computer (1973–2003), not for technical perfection, but to create something immersive I could listen to while pursuing other creative pursuits. It took me a lot of time to prepare and blend these long mixes, but the payoff was worth it. I cared less about technical details and more about music selection. After months of preparation, I finally launched this huge project, and now we have four ultra-long DJ mixes that showcase some of the best talents in electronic and contemporary music.
Guest Mixes
As you can tell, I’ve spent a lot of time mixing and recording my DJ sets. I didn’t have much time to record and mix for other internet sites or organize things, so I ended up with only two recorded DJ mixes to share. I know that isn’t a lot, but I’m excited to put them out there anyway. I hope you’ll enjoy these two deep, jazzy, soulful mixes I produced for the DeepGroove Show & DeepGroove Show.
A few friends asked for a new DJ mix that leaned deeper and more techy—progressive, perhaps a touch darker than usual. I took that to heart, collecting compelling deep-tech tracks along with quality house, and stitched them together with my own track, "Attractive." The result is a bit of “weirdness” for many listeners, and something truly great for some of you—and for me as well. I think we’ve crafted a thoughtful deep-tech set, perhaps a touch heavy at times, but still rooted in true deepness. What can I do to make you press play? Give it a listen now. Miguel Migs & Marc Jellybear, Layo & Bushwacka!, Paulo Rocha, Souldoubt, West Magnetic, Les Maçons De La Musique, Danylo, 16B, Paul Davidson, Piliavin & Zimbardo, Tony Thomas, Jay-J & Julius Papp, Shuffle Inc., Black Powder, Dan Confusion, Derrick Carter & Chris Nazuka, Home & Garden Present Nkemdi, Tojami Sessions, Macari & Jay-J feat Shawn Benson.
I waited a long time for DJ software, and finally TRAKTOR was here. Native Instruments Traktor was in my hands, and I was more than ready to test it on this DJ mix. I crossed the analog–digital bridge and could finally use all my MP3s anytime, experiment with filtering, play with loops, and explore so much more. My first recorded mix with Traktor felt like a "point of no return." I’d never go back to turntables or CDs; to me, it’s all just a “music transport.” Music comes first, and I like it loud and clear. You’d be amazed at how much easier and faster it is to find and mix new tracks. I know this may be technically my weakest Traktor mix, but if you love deep & tech, uplifting house—check it out. I also included and mixed one of my tracks with my friend Buttke, “Don’t Tell Anyone (Closer Mix )".

This is probably my last DJ mix created without computer software. I used an old mixer, a few CD players, and a Technics 1210MK2. The end result was full of surprises—even for me: deep and energetic, with soulful vocals, jazzy chords, pockets of electronics, afro, funky, and techy vibes. I think you’ll like it as much as I do. I made a few mistakes, but that’s part of the charm of old gear. The music is great, and the mix is here to stay because I love it—and I hope you’ll love it too. Artists: Aaron Carl, Ricardo Dias, Two Banks Of Four, Slow Supreme, Chaser, Inland Knights, Joeski & Chus, Intrallazzi & Fratty feat Joanne, Frankie Knuckles, Voom:Voom, DJ Buck & Chris Lum, Lehner & Biebl, Silver Haze feat Karin Brown, Faze Action, Justin Robertson pres Revtone, Hi-Lo, Fresh & Low, Little Green Men, Yann Fontaine, Kevin Yost
Finally, this was my third and last DJ mix, compiled with records I bought during my NYC trip in September 2001. I really enjoyed mixing this set and discovering fresh, exciting tracks. Music is endlessly inspiring, and I found myself craving more new sounds.

Emotions is my second DJ mix, crafted and recorded after my return from New York City and the unforgettable stop at Satellite Records (R.I.P.). New York inspired me deeply, and the memories of that city’s pulse came flooding back as I mixed. The set spans deep, tech, and techno, capturing the emotional range of my visit. I hope it resonates with you and inspires a future trip to this vibrant place.
