As my 150th broadcast at the station, I collected 2-300 of songs I liked from the previous 149 sets into a digital crate from which to select this set of 34 as I went along. So the song style varies quite a lot, from straight-up deep house all the way to heavy tech house at the end.

I hope you've enjoyed the last 150 sets, and will stay with me for (at least) the next 150.

This is a 1-hour set (vs. normal 2) because of a time-schedule collision with the DJ on the station before me. This is more from the crate I assembled for last-show's "notable tunes from my first 150 shows".

This is a set from the new internet radio station I've switched to:
Balearic FM
Come listen at either https://balearic-fm.com, or find the station on TuneIn (or other internet radio apps)). My live-play time slot is 3-5pm Eastern Time on Fridays.

I'll have a bit more musical freedom here than at my old residency (dogglounge.com). I played there for many years, and loved every set I played with that team. But Balearic FM's format gives me the freedom to play more Tech House and Techno. And it's listener base is about the same as Dogglounge's (though the station needs to work on its website sophistication and podcast distribution. We'll get on that right away ;-)

Still, though, THIS set would still fit in at the old station, with lots of great tunes from Motorcitysoul, Kruse & Nümberg, Reel People, and one of my all time favorites Everything But The Girl.

Enjoy!

Recorded live on 2021-04-02 at Balearic-FM.com, 3-5pm EDT.

Reminder that this is a new station for me, and I'd appreciate you spreading the word. Good music plays 24x7, and a full live DJ roster is being built out. Tell your DJ friends to apply for a residency slot (website above).

This past week was the anniversary of the passing of Frankie Knuckles. Are you familiar with his tunes? If not, you'll hear plenty of them in this set! (Also, are you familiar with island shown in the show cover image? Name the island in the comments!)

This set starts off with some Deep House to get you started on your Friday evening, then works its way to some more straight-up house, thru tech house all the way to some full-on techno to finish the set. - with an awesome techno closer that eases you down nicely.

Songs from all kinds of good producers you may know like DJ Spin, Pezzner, and more - but mostly songs by producers you *don't* know who are making good music, from Karizma, Ben Sun, Furious, Catz 'N Dogs - and that wonderful closer by Avoure.

Enjoy, and be sure to tune into the station for 24x7 broadcasting of this kind of music. Find the station in Apple Music's "Internet Radio" listing.

It's becoming clear (thus the set name ;-) that my station is attracting some new DJs. There are four that have signed up to spin, and a couple of more are submitting sets for review. But we need more, so spread the word.

Hopefully this set brings some "clear"ness to your day, with tunes from Crackazat, Camilo Franco, a new remix of Days Like This (from Booker T), Sebb Junior, Viola, Ross Couch, Spiritchaser, Nina Kravitz, and many more.

Enjoy!

I didn't start out with an intent to play a Tech House set. I actually spoke of a more Defected Records direction in my intro voice-over. BUT, the on-the-fly choices I made as I was spinning the first 3-5 tracks just trended that direction. So, I embraced the direction and made the most of it.

A couple of tracks from popular names like Hot Since 92 and Roland Clark, but MOSTLY from names you don't know, like Bontan, Sllash & Doppe, Pirate Copy, and more.

It was cloudy, rainy, and 50kph wind where I live on the day I played this. So it was "hunker down in the storm", and play some dark-skies music. But, even with that foundation, this set is brilliant, no! :-)

Spring is coming soon to the northern hemisphere, and I'm headed for the beach soon, too.  I can't wait, so I played some daytime beach bar chill tunes.

This week I went to a club in Brooklyn with 4 hours of great DJs form 8-midnight, and the George Clinton live from 12-2. This got my brain in the funky mode. My crate is not super-deep in funky house, and I don't know that end of my crate well enough. So I think I could have done better on the sequencing of these tracks. But, I had fun, and think I need to play this stuff more. It's so fun to dance to!

After last week's set of full-on Nu-Disco, I decided to stay with the idea of "reworks of old genres", and put this set together using either reworks of old jazz tunes, or new tunes that have a solid jazzy feel to them.

Thanks to the listeners, especially those who come and show up in chat. And credit to Adi (https://ello.co/dyya) for the cover art.

I recently had a chance to both spin tunes & go dancing at a fun event. I was (am) still in a mood for that when I did this set. So it trends a bit more towards danceable music than background deep house.

I note that I got to stand behind the legendary Carl Cox in the DJ booth for some time at the recent event. Watching how he worked the equipment taught me somethings I wasn't doing before, that I'm now trying to incorporate into my technique. I think I'm better for it.

Sooo, this set got done with little prep, because I was watching the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Chargers in an NFL playoff game (instead of preparing the set).  Go Pats!

But, it turned out to be an excellent set. I’m quite pleased with how it came out, both from a musical and mixing perspective.  I hope you enjoy streaming it from Soundcloud via your phone + bluetooth speaker, or your Sonos system, or … you way!

Atypically, though, I though this set was way above average for me – both in terms of musical consistency / selection, and mixing. I’m happy with it.

This one is all inspired by Ibiza. I don’t think I’m going to be able to get to the White Island this year, so I decided to re-create the vibe with my set yesterday. This recording (played live at https://dogglounge.com radio) is heavier on the tech house than the normal DL deep house or straight-up house. But, I like it.

"NEOS" = Near End Of Summer. I'm watching my social media feed and seeing the various "closing" announcements from clubs in Ibiza (where "closing" means closing for the season). That means it's ... NEOS. Not QUITE done yet, but .. too-soon, IMO.

Lots of new stuff (to me) in this set. Maybe one or two things don't go well one after the other; but hey - it's my job to bring you new music, and hopefully you like the tunes.

This is the set I'd play if I were spinning at Blue Marlin beach club in Ibiza around 16:00. It's after lunch, everybody has plenty of Rosé wine in their blood, and these tunes would make you get up out of your beach chair and dance just a weeee bit with a glass of wine or cocktail in-hand. (Can you tell I'm missing summer in Ibiza???)

I hope these tracks from Sandy Rivera, Fred Everything, Giom, Shur-I-Kan, Tiger Stripes, Kerri Chandler, Kevin Fisher, Andy Caldwell and more will bring an Ibiza summer to you whenever, and wherever you are.

Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for all your support in 2020, and I hope I continue to earn and have your support again in 2021.

This set was a "best of 2020" set. THREE HOURS of music. The first hour has new (to me) tracks selected from Traxsource's "Top 200 of 2020". The next two hours are replays of tracks I've played during 2020 that were RELEASED in 2020.

There's a MASSIVE list amazing producers here - Atjazz, Opolopo, Shur-I-Kan, Ross Couch, Crackazat, Mark Knight, Hot Since 82, St. Germain, Erik Kupper, Purple Disco Machine, Dr. Packer, and sooo many, many, many more.

Enjoy this, and happy 2021 to you! May it not be better than 2020 ;-)

My normal Friday residency slot crept up on me, and I hadn't prepared as well as I maybe ought to have. So, this one is a bit ad-lib. But, it turned out pretty good.

I hope you enjoy tracks from a WHOLE BUNCH of unsung producers that aren't household names, but are pretty darn good, including Lady Alma, Marquis Hawkes, Masaki Morii, Austin Ato, Phaze Dee -- along with others you DO know like Demarkus Lewis, Phaze Dee, Giom, Robert Owens, and Groove Assassin.

Recorded live on 2021 Mar 05, just AFTER I got home from Miami. I couldn't completely shake the high energy of Miami, so there was some "residual energy" in this set - less than my last one, but still some fun here. Tracks by all kinds of greats - Atjazz, Two Armadillos, Demarkus Lewis, Low Steppa, Keri Chandler, David Harness, and many great tracks by lesser-names like Boosh, Dee Montero, Mike D, and more. Enjoy!
