David Hollands – Midnight Train to Moscow

I’ve written about DJ David Hollands before, when I posted his classic “Pool Party” mix tape from 1996.    “Midnight Train to Moscow” followed in 2000, and is also one of my all-time favorite house mixes.  It’s a memorable blend of deep house, minimal techno, haunting vocals, and party-time cuts too.  Recently I visited David at his East Village abode in NYC and he gave me a copy of the mix tape art from the original.  Grab the front and the back artwork, along with the mix and enjoy.

Wowwww… I just found this mix via David Hollands’ site and am nearly paralyzed with nostalgia.  This is the very first dj mixtape I ever heard, which I bought at the first rave I ever went to.  David Hollands is a world-traveled and renowned DJ, and is currently the host of the Fuerza Bruta “DJ Connection” events, the successor to the famous De La Guarda shows.  Pool Party is one of his earlier mixes, a blend of deep house and techno that blew my mind 13 years ago, and forever shaped my tastes in both electronic music and DJ mixes.

ATOMLY – live at the Bunker NYE 2009

Atomly, aka Adam Lee, is one of the enduring geniuses of the American electronic music world.  His productions span multiple genres and his DJ sets are works of art.  Recently, he threw down a gorgeous and sublime set of deep, classic house and minimal techno at the 2009 New Year’s Eve party at The Bunker at Williamsburgh.  I danced many of the first hours of the new year at that party but didn’t catch Atomly’s set in person (the festivities lasted almost 24 hours of nonstop music & dancing!)  Thankfully, the set was recorded and is currently the best of its kind that I’ve heard in a long time.  Check out his website for more.
