Doc Martin was the headliner of the very first event I attended, which helped paved the way to a lifetime of love for house music. To say it was an honor to open for him over 25 years later is a serious understatement!

45East Reopening with Doc Martin

Opening for Doc Martin (6-12-21 at 45 East)

This mix was intended to be our last release of this year in our 20 year series but with the recent loss of one of the best West Coast emcee's, we felt that this light needs to shine bright.
Gift of Gab inspired us, entertained us, and through his music show'd all of us to pursue happiness and be grateful for all we have.
It was an absolute pleasure to have been able to work on this project with him.
Please Enjoy!

This mixtape was one of the only produced "All Scott Henry" mixtapes meaning both sides are mixed by the legend. The only other one I know of is the "West Way Sessions" mixtape. This album came out as a giveaway at a Holiday Buzz in 1997 and contains tracks Scott was playing frequently at Buzz: Nations Night Club in Washington DC. as Fever in Baltimore was closed at the time.  This is the B side of the mixtape.

Our goal is to promote the tracks on this mixtape to educate the youth. Please let us know if there are any errors in the track listing.

Solid Steel (2nd May) It's a pleasure to welcome Moxie to Solid Steel who has her own show on the excellent NTS and also had a stint on Radio 1 in the 'In New DJ's We Trust' slot. Her expansive knowledge and wide taste in music is reflected in her weekly shows. This mix takes us through a superb selection kicking off with a classic disco edit, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Actress, PhOtOmachine and the great Mos Def 'Umi says' edit on Falty DL's Blueberry Records. Then it's Drexciya from '95, Seven Davis Jr, Martyn, Akkord, HNNY and ending on another disco classic, this time Triniadad's Stephen Encinas from 1979.

Late ´70´s Disco Funkhaus (March 2024)

Released in June 2019;  T.D.E.M Revisited - Tales of the Universal Whizard was a ground breaking "underground" success within and outside of the commercial acknowledgement.. Seen more locally on press and performed through some small music festivals, T.D.E.M was built as a full fledge embodiment of both worlds of - Electronic Dance Music and HipHop. DjWhizPk states that this creation is the first of what's called,  ' Future Trap ' music. A specific genre realized by none other than DjWhizPk himself.. After studying closely his Dj/Producer inspirations, he sent out to make something of his own. 
It was from this point on, he will continue to create projects that entail musical Edm/HipHop elements in his works.... Such as this.
