Enjoy Elite Progressive House Music and Quirky Dope Coverage of EDM Culture and Life. Starring KarenFromPhilly, DJ Harley Beretta, Anthony Merrill Smith and Josh Wilcox. Bird's Ear View is Executive Produced by KarenPhilFan.

For this episode I was like "I can't let you guys down" about this music we love so much. Fortunately, I got help from some extremely talented folks. DJ Harley Beretta returned to Bird's Ear View for another spectacular guest mix. Harley out and out destroyed!! Our guest Anthony Merrill Smith is a world-class voice actor. His impressions are  so amazing and will dazzle you. It was also great to be joined on-air by our outstanding in-studio producer and sound engineer Josh Wilcox of the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio in NYC.  

Yes I'm KarenFromPhilly-- and I write the show in my hometown--but I record in NYC because the production skill level is so strong and I can get the right sound I crave so much.

There is no other show out right now in Progressive House and EDM like Bird's Ear View. First We jam out in top-notch fashion. Then add-in commentary, news, humor, emotions and more.  Whatever it takes to stay original and interesting for you.

DJ Harley Beretta's guest mix on this episode is totally sick. Harley is really blowing up with appearances on the SiriusXM channels of Pitbull and Eminem.  For us to have her do guest mixes is special as her take on Progressive House music once again adds flavor and uniqueness.  Her world-class scratching and blends sound so dope intertwined in Prog. This is elite Progressive House presented in an all-new thrilling, almost experimental way. We're not implying that Progressive House music has to have this type of sound, we're just elated to show that it so wonderfully can.

Hilarious Voice Actor Anthony Merrill Smith was incredible on this episode. His impressions are bananas on-point. Anthony crushed his arsenal of subjects and hearing that brilliance  mixed in with the great Progressive House music playing at the same time is almost orgasmic.  I can't really explain it but check out the episode for some ill shit you wont hear anywhere else. 

I curated the music of course and I take that responsibility extremely serious.  I found the best 16 jams possible. Most of them are new but I do whatever it takes to cultivate a memorable listening experience for you and me. No wasted or wack tracks, just a complete appreciation of your time spent listening.  Content wise we discussed many aspects of Progressive House and DJ'ing that you will find interesting. Topics include my dream EDM trip around the world, the popular segment "Karen's EDM Thoughts," a new seggy called "DJ Digest" (which covers the world of all things DJ), the art of Positivity in Progressive House music, the differences between listening to a song and a mix, the story of DJ Mom and so much more, 

Get ready for a thrilling Progressive House music experience.  I can't thank you enough for checking out the show. If you made it this far you're just the type of person I'm looking to entertain and inform.  Feel free to always hit me up here or at Twitter.com/BirdsEarView  -- Love KarenFromPhilly

Bird's Ear View - Ep.  5 "Transported" (DJ Harley Beretta Guest Mix) [Progressive EDM]

Bird's Ear View Episode 6: "Goodbye EDM" Starring KarenFromPhilly, DJ Harley Beretta & Josh Wilcox. Enjoy the finest in global Progressive House Music and exclusive coverage of the Underground Dance Music lifestyle. 

"It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you." 

Yes it's been a while since our last episode but this works out because my theory is "Live It. Own It. Write It." I have to absorb myself fully as a journalist and fan into Progressive House music, the artists who create it, the DJs who showcase it, and other fans just like you that love it.  That's what we do for the best show possible.  It's all about building a connection to you that is authentic and pure. If you're listening to this show I want you to feel like we're friends hanging out discussing this music and jamming out to it. 

DJ Harley Beretta is back for this episode. She is an emerging star and this is her 3rd outstanding mix for us. It sounds so amazing. Harley is experimental and creative in her approach and we work well together because so am I. We have uniqueness in the music we play and words we say.  There is no show in the world like Bird's Ear View.

Josh Wilcox is an extremely talented in-studio producer and joins me in the 2nd hour for a very cool in-depth discussion about Progressive House,  Underground Dance Music and the world of being a DJ.   

During Harley's great mix however I'm solo on the mic. This was done purposely so that you and I can bond. I delve into some great topics that are sure to interest you. Please also feel free to discuss this music or anything with me here or at Twitter.com/BirdsEarView 

Check out the show to hear all the cool stuff. But I will say the segment about my incorrect overuse of the term "EDM" over the last three years to describe Progressive House music is really good. I come clean about why I was doing that and how a well-known music executive I know finally stepped in and gave me some constructive criticism that has me on the right path. 

Thank you so much for joining us here. You're gonna love the songs and coverage of this music that we all adore.. You guys are the best...Love KarenFromPhilly

Bird's Ear View - Ep. 6 "Goodbye EDM" (DJ Harley Beretta Guest Mix) [Progressive House]

We come flying out the chute which is what we like to do energy-wise. Harley sets the tone right away with her cool drops. This is DJ Harley Beretta's third mix for Bird's Ear View and just like the others it is outstanding, innovative and experimental. On the first track "Code 9" I especially love the subtle, single thick scratch at timecode [3:21]. 

Harley is known as "The Blend Queen" and the transition into the Goda Brother track is scintillating. It's always an honor to curate mixes for Harley. But I present a challenge to her in that I give her songs with all different BPMs and vibes.  She does an amazing job turning it into a melded masterpiece.  Her scratch blend into "Ruh" at timecode [10:48] was sick. Bringing the vocals from the middle of the track into the intro is a classic example of her insane creativity and experimentation. It's top studio level remixing.

The blend at [18:18] into "We Form" is bananas, love the Yaz drop at [18:32] and the scratching at [19:04] is world-class. Then at [24;53] she brings in the beautiful "Kalla" so creatively. Harley's sense of timing is off the chain. Listen to her scratching and then radio drop hit a post at [27:32]. 

Knowing when to lay low and let some tracks breathe is a skill in itself-- especially for a quick hands, quick-thinking DJ like Harley Beretta. And after letting the music shine for a couple tracks she re-enters with a vengeance on the world's sickest blend/scratch from "East Views" by Emro into "Devotion" by Discognition at [42:08]. It's the lovely vibe of two beautiful tracks getting the royal treatment.

Excellent ensuing blends connect the gorgeous melodic tracks "Music" by Bodai & Crew, "Misty Memory" by Xenioxe, "Three Sisters"  by Grim Avenue, and "Valhalla" by Joe Schaeffer & Ciree.  We always end strong with  interesting beats-- and Harley does "Artwork n.1" by Miro great justice.  Her ferocious scratching at [1:09:38] is so triumphant and on beat.  It's a highlight, Top 5 type moment. You'll love this incredible mix by DJ Harley Beretta and likely listen many times to fully appreciate it.  I totally understand that vibe because it's fascinating. Please find the Tracklist below and enjoy. Thanks so much for listening. I love you guys-- KarenFromPhilly

This Episode of The Parent Trip Originally Aired September 7, 2022 on Vault-Radio.com ...

Tracklist Found Below

Wow...what an incredible opportunity to host an episode of The Parent Trip. It truly was a journey of music therapy as I explored my youth and family experiences primarily thru the music of my parents' vinyl collection.

The Parent Trip airs the first Wednesday monthly on the global station Vault Radio.  The show is based on a mix concept developed  by DJ MOM. There's no set format. Basically a DJ-- or anybody-- digs thru their parents' music collection and picks tracks that were influential to them on the come up. But the mix or presentation can be creatively scoped out by the individual. Doing this is so therapeutic. There are no rules. It can be all music or you can add commentary as I chose to do. The show can be a sad or happy experience or a mix of many emotions.  

I was fortunate to collaborate here with the wonderful UK DJ MickeyTheMoocher. He was able to expertly interpret my music selections and added some extraordinary music beds of his own choosing to facilitate my spoken parts.

I'm not going to go into the subject matter discussed on the episode in this show description. It's amazing but I feel you are best served hearing it fresh for your own thoughts, reflections and interpretations.  

If you are a DJ and are interested in trying to mix an episode of The Parent Trip, or even a non-DJ interested in possibly doing an episode in the style I did...let's talk about the possibility. Hit me up here on SoundCloud or by DM at Twitter.com/BirdsEarView ...

Most definitely I recommend listening to this or trying to get involved in your own version.  I was able to process so much stuff in the coolest way possible. You can too or at the very least sit back and enjoy this amazing episode. 

Much Love, KarenFromPhilly

The Parent Trip for Vault Radio: KarenFromPhilly (DJ MickeyTheMoocher Guest Mix)

Enjoy this amazing House Music Mix from iconic DJ and musician Mark Farina. It’s an exclusive new mix that originally aired on February 15th, 2023 for #MixClub on the great global station Vault-Radio.com.

Here Mark Farina goes all out strictly for the love of the music, his fellow DJs and House music devotees all over the world. The mix is classic Farina: funky, catchy and smart. Vocals are there to keep you emotionally invested along the way as you dance and bob your head to the exciting beats. His signature perfect blends are so smooth and polished you realize you are listening to something special. The mix conjures up memories of his splendid San Francisco Sessions Vol. 1 effort of the late 1990’s and other faves throughout his storied career.

#MixClub is a community effort and radio show. It’s a collective of DJs and house music fans that is open to everyone to enjoy and participate. Each week a different DJ is featured. Typically the DJs are working pros, skilled hobbyists and even bedroom enthusiasts. While the mix airs, people (DJs & fans) from all over the world communicate at the Twitter hashtag #MixClub to network, exchange ideas, promote, make friends and pepper each other with questions and comments. In reality it’s been a small but growing community. So it was a major coup for us to land Mark Farina, and all thanks for doing so goes to #MixClub alum The Science Funk Project. Mark received no compensation for this mix and little publicity. He participated solely just to be part of the cool vibe that The Science Funk Project rightly presented it as. Mark already had everyone’s respect, but for him to do our little-known show out of the goodness of his heart and love of the music was so cool. This background info is as pure as it sounds, and as pure genius as the mix is too.

In a world where superstar DJs are often known as being conceited, demanding or distant, it has been amazing to see someone of Mark Farina’s caliber and reputation be so accommodating and nice. This mix is truly incredible. Dude went all out so blaze it and jam along.

#MixClub for Vault Radio: DJ Mark Farina Guest Mix of Feb. 15, 2023

Please enjoy this incredible mix by DJ Mighty Mi, which features his original Rap & House mash-ups. He calls the mix “Hip-House 2023.”  

It was epic to have DJ Mighty Mi spin an episode of MixClub on Vault-radio.com for the May 3, 2023 episode. He is of course best known as a member and DJ of the highly-respected hip-hop duo The High & Mighty.  

Comprised of Mighty and rapper Mr. Eon, they released the rap hit “B-Boy Document ’99” with Mos Def & Mad Skillz. Over the course of their careers they collabed with greats such as Eminem & Kool Keith, and toured with Run-DMC. Later they formed the popular group “Smut Peddlers” with Cage.

A cool aspect of Mighty Mi’s career is his personal and professional evolution from his Philly, Boston & NYC roots to Las Vegas, where he is now based. During the explosion of EDM’s popularity there,  he soon enjoyed residencies and gigs playing in top casino clubs while sharing stages with the world’s best-known superstar DJ’s. 

Mighty Mi  is co-founder of the legendary indie label Eastern Conference Records and currently has a show on Sirius XM the first Thursday every month on Diplo’s Revolution called Then & Now.

Man you've got to evolve in this music. Especially when it's something you can feel inside. Hi I'm KarenFromPhilly and It wasn't an easy or safe decision for me to pursue a new DJ  for Episode 7 of Bird's Ear View, After all, Harley Beretta is a unbelievable talent and crushed it for us the last three episodes. Plus our listeners love Harley. Hell I love Harley.

But as a Progressive House devotee, I wanted a different sound for this episode. I had only one DJ in mind. It had to be UK DJ Andy Skinner (of WeGetLiftedRadio.com & many other great global stations). He's the first and only DJ I asked. And when he said yes I was so grateful. Truth is I've long admired Andy's work, and I always knew one day we would collab. And this is a true collab. Like all previous episodes I curated most of the tracks. But Andy had total creative freedom in his mix, nixed some of my selections and also sequenced the tracks to his liking. A DJ has to really trust you to perform tracks supplied to him. I mean, this isn't a wedding gig and I'm not the bride's mother-in-law. But Andy said something real cool to put me at ease right away. He said it's not uncommon for a DJ to have to spin a set of pre-selected tracks for mixing a label promo, so he equated this project with that vibe.

But Andy owns this mix. It is a work of art. An unforgettable listening experience.  Like I said he had total creative freedom. And this manifested itself in a collection of outstanding blends.  Our listeners have come to expect the finest blends in Progressive House music and Andy kept up the tradition big-time. One after the other, Andy's blends soar in exquisite fashion. I love the story he created too with his track sequencing here. It's so clear he gets what Bird's Ear View is all about.  In plain speak he told me he knew how much these tracks mean to me and then went out and gave me his all in the mix. The Bird's Ear View credo is "Our Best in Every Beat" and Andy blazed it from start to finish. 

I'm so happy you're here. You're going to love this mix by Andy Skinner over and over again. It's so inspiring and really jams out. Enjoy!

Continuing the show's tradition of collaborating with the finest in Guest DJs, we introduce Andy Skinner to our audience. Andy is a global radio pro but better yet it's his unique vision and depth in mixing Progressive House music that made him such an attractive DJ for our show.  Our previous Guest DJ Harley Beretta did 3 phenomenal efforts for Bird's Ear View, so Andy had tough shoes to fill. Well he came through and put his own impressive stamp on the show by unleashing an array of world-class blends. This was a true collab also in that Andy sequenced Karen's tracks to his liking and comfort level. 

There's so much more about this episode we could reveal here, but it's likely best you experience it firsthand for yourself by listening. That is if you can handle it ha-ha.

Bird's Ear View 7: "Allow Us To Demonstrate" (DJ Andy Skinner Guest Mix) [Progressive House]

Enjoy the phenomenal music-only, without commentary version of the 2023 Bird's Ear View Top 11 Underground Jams Countdown mix by UK DJ MIckeyTheMoocher. (Note: Tracklist Below)

This mix is a work of art. It's got rhythm, beauty, emotion, skill, power and intelligence.  Mickey's blends are out of this world here. In fact, the time stamps I provide below don't do the blends justice. Mickey weaves the songs seamlessly together majestically. I had the honor of curating these incredible tracks, and Mickey sequenced them so brilliantly too.

The move is to listen for yourself and come up with your own interpretations of the songs and they way they connect. I could write out how wonderfully this mix has impacted me but i just decided you're better off doing the work and listening on your own. You'll be glad you did because this mix is truly special. I guarantee it will become a favorite of yours. Something you can play anywhere and in any situation. We're honored to share it with you. Enjoy. Love, KarenFromPhilly

Bird'sEarView 2023 Top Underground Jams for DeepSpaceRadio (DJ MickeyTheMoocher Mix)[No Commentary]

Enjoy the Bird's Ear View 2023 Top 11 Underground Dance Music Jams Countdown which originally aired on the program MixClub for DeepSpaceRadio.com on January 3, 2024.

Here we celebrate the finest Progressive House, Deep House, Trance & EDM of 2023. SoundCloud asks you for a main hashtag and all I could think of to sum up this unique mix show is "Sophisticated."  The tracks are so amazing and the talent of the Producers & DJs who created them is off the hook. Then you have the truly outstanding job here by Host & DJ MickeyTheMoocher. Plus I got off writing the script and vibe I wanted to create and you know my track curation is legendary of course.

Yet it was the rap group Public Enemy who warned:

"Now the bitch is in trouble
'Cause she thinks she's so-phisticated" 

But let's face it, this project is as advertised. Mickey's hosting skills took a star turn here as he expertly knew when to pipe in and out of the tracks. And in his  DJ role Mickey crushed. This mix is a work of art. It's got rhythm, beauty, emotion, skill, power and intelligence. Mickey's blends are out of this world. The time stamps below on the tracklist are good but they really don't do his blends justice. 

So the move is to listen for yourself and come up with your own interpretations of the songs and they way they connect. I could write out how wonderfully this mix has impacted me but you're better off doing the work and listening on your own. You'll be glad you did because this mix is truly special. I guarantee it will become a favorite of yours. Something you can play anywhere and in any situation. Thanks again to all the stellar Producers & DJs. Thanks so much to Mickey for making my dreams come true. Much thanks to you for all the support too. Love you all, KarenFromPhilly

8-Track tapes, audio cassettes & thrift store vinyl for a buck. It's the Best in Classic Rock right here on Bird's Ear View 

Enjoy Bird’s Ear View Presents: “Rock & Roll Project with Steve Rees” & Guest Mix by DJ MickeyTheMoocher.

Yes this epic show is written, hosted and curated by “The Bull of American Broadcasting” -– Steve Rees. He’s a well-respected stand-up comedian and podcaster, but the man was quite frankly born to do what he’s accomplished here. Steve’s got all the tools (voice, mic presence, intelligence, relatability, timing & more) and here he genuinely & organically recreates the glory days of great 1970s & 1980s era FM Rock Radio — where the DJ picks the incredible music and tells cool stories. 

Bird’s Ear View Resident DJ MickeyTheMoocher supplies an amazing canvas for Steve to paint narratives on via his deliciously selected music beds and polished magical touch blends. I’m just so grateful to Mickey for all he does for our team. He is a vital inspiration to all he collaborates with, and his performances are so consistently stellar. 

At first I was going to go into great detail here about Steve’s stories, emotions, quips, memories & observations on the show, but I’m going to keep with Bird’s Ear View tradition and let you experience and appreciate them for yourself by listening. That’s all you have to do, take the time to listen and enjoy.  This is a golden opportunity for you to decompress from society and the hustle and bustle of the real world yet simultaneously Rock On & Rock Out with the finest in Classic Rock & Storytelling. I'm so excited about this show and I'm so excited for you to be able to experience this. Feel free to leave comments feedback is always appreciated. Thanks kindly, KarenFromPhilly

Bird's Ear View: (DJ Harley Beretta Guest Mix for Ep. 4)[Without Commentary][Progressive House]

Please Note:  Tracklist is found below.

Thank you so much for checking out this incredible episode of Bird's Ear View.  I wrote it in Philly and recorded it in Brooklyn.  The guest mix from DJ Harley Beretta is a stunning and innovative Progressive House experience.  Her mix is so special I had to raise my game just to keep up.  Show Topics include--- Is Progressive House Music EDM or Not (Most Definitely Yes!)...Cool DJs U Need to Know About..."Karen's EDM Thoughts"...Artist Updates... Detroit Legend Mike Huckaby and Other Important House Music People We Lost...Our Exclusive Song Interpretations...Music as Medicine... and So Much More

Harley is an emerging star out of Philadelphia known for her world-class blends and scratching of new and classic hip-hop and R&B. But here she expertly brought her impressive skill set to Progressive House. The result is both slick and sophisticated-- but thankfully not forced. Somehow Harley knows when to flash brilliance and also how to chill and let the songs breathe and live--which is so important in Progressive House. 

My track selection and sequencing for this episode was beyond lit.  Of course thank u to all the incredible artists.. DJs + producers whose music was utilized on this free episode. Your amazing creativity is so beautiful and it's a privilege to present it. 

Everybody feel free to hit me up here on SoundCloud or at Twitter.com/BirdsEarView. Enjoy!! Take care-- KarenFromPhilly
