David Hollands – Pool Party

Posted on by

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.

Catnap – The Meow Mix Volume 3

Here’s the third volume of my “Meow Mix” series, celebrating the sound of house music, poetry, and soul. In keeping with the “Meow Mix” theme, this one weaves house and techno together, instrumentals with vocals, classic tracks and new surprises. Check out the poetic lyrics that flow like a beatnick free form jam in the addictive opening song by Holly Palmer & Dobie. Kenny Larkin’s meditation on a world without soul (“Without”) and Todd Gardener’s definition of house music (“Do You Know House?”) and Billie Holiday’s plaintive call to take “All Of Me” are also voices that will stay with you. I could write a paragraph on each of these tracks, but I’ll just let it speak for itself. Tracklist after the jump…

I have finally completed my latest DJ mix, a rockin’ stompin’ dance party blend!  It’s an intense mash-up of hiphop, indie rock, electro, house, and dubstep – 27 tracks in just 60 minutes.  It features music by Cypress Hill, the Beatles, Basement Jaxx, Sinden, Justice, the Prodigy, Pharoah Monche, Diplo, Chromeo, Cassius, Rick Ross, Masta Ace, and so much more.  I have titled it NYC Nights volume two, as it is a worthy successor for my 2004 mix of the same name, which I recorded when I first moved to the city.  That was then, this is now, and I think you’ll like how now sounds.

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.
