Man oh man has it been a whirlwind as of late, but the universe can no longer hold this mix back. As soon as I received this gem from Racket Club weeks ago, everything decided to happen at once. But here we are, and I am honored to feed you this delicious journey that delivers those funky, soulful and nutritious beats that your body craves. 

I found Racket Club soon after my discovery of Pizza & Techno and was captivated both by his skills on the decks and the affiliation with the worlds greatest food which is obviously pizza. I mean, what a combination right?
This uplifting mix reminds me that everything is going to be alright and how grateful I am for people like Jon whose creativity makes life in this realm that much more enjoyable. 

Make sure to tip the delivery man!

_____________________________________________________________

Hailing from Boston and living in Los Angeles, Jon Gilman aka Racket Club has been involved in music his whole life. Truly his #1 passion, he grew up playing drums in rock bands, symphonic bands, and jazz bands. He was influenced by classic rock, jazz, blues, alternative rock, hip hop, and the list goes on. After spending six months in Australia that's when the electronic and dance music bug hit and he hasn't looked back. Racket Club began DJing over a decade ago by taking up residencies around Boston. His journey took him to the Bay Area where he teamed up with like-minded individuals and founded the event Pzza & Techno which have been wildly successful so much so that he now runs the LA edition (save the date for July 31!). Outside of running Pizza & Techno he's building the label Top Shelf Disco which already has a number of releases and their big event coming up on August 7th in Koreatown. 

Racket Club's latest track is an edit he and good friend Clavette wrote of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" which you can hear at the end of this mix and will be out later this Summer.

Enjoy!

Back at it with the silky smoothness and soulful selections, Andrew returns to Housebrew Sessions in style! This man is serious about House music and it has been a pleasure watching him be the connector he was born to be in all of the arenas of this beautiful genre. 

This mix has that trifecta of Deep, Soulful and Jackin that made me fall in love with Andrews style about 2 years ago. It is a wonderful companion to his first Housebrew set over a year ago which is linked below:

This is House music. I cannot express in words how much this mix nails the essence of House. It is simply a feeling. 

When that soulful, funky, groovy nature of House introduces itself, you know what to do!

Give it up for Blacky, a true ambassador for House and a skilled DJ who deserves to be given the platform in order to keep providing the love.

After a bit of a hiatus, Housebrew has recommitted itself to serving you that flight of house music you ordered. SOULAURIC is back for the third time with a smorgasbord of house! This mix has everything, so you're guaranteed to experience a journey through the range of styles and the emotions they each bring. Masterfully mixed and cleverly selected, I believe this man was in the flow state on the decks. Enjoy!

On this installment of Housebrew Sessions I have the incredible honor of featuring a true veteran of dropping tech bombs. I first heard Monte Crispo play in the depths of the Southern California desert and had the pleasure of hearing him play again quite recently. Monte Crispo reignited my love of Minimal/Deep Tech so much so that this is the first mix of its kind on this series. Extremely technical in his abilities, he reels you into the groove and does not let go until the work is done. Give it up for Monte Crispo!

Soulauric called and he wants you to listen to this house mix.

Back again with the ill behavior, Soulauric is a relentless DJ who simply wants to lay down the groove and never look back. As the second returning guest of this mixcast he has proven that his versatility knows no bounds. Years of digging through quality music and curating it masterfully has only led him to pursue it even more. 

Full of soul, this journey through house music is quite a special one. I hope you enjoy it and please support Soulauric in his quest to bring nothing but the best.

Thick beats, soulful vocals, tech injections etc.

Leon Wynne, aka Soulauric started exploring the realm of electronic music with an open mind after attending several events in SoCal. His inspiration to mix grew as he experienced the rhythmic sounds of house & techno at underground parties. Influenced by a variety of artists such as Brandon Heinz, Stephen Disario, Zaranu, Matt Hill, Nicole Moudaber, Oceanvs Orientalis, & Goldcap, the soundscape may be matched to his environment. His sets will take you on a hypnotic yet groovy journey through cycles of time & space.

Coming in hot from the Netherlands, Ruben de Jongh AKA Black & Forth AKA DJ Kingsize brings you an eclectic mix full of soul and funky freshness.
I recently discovered Ruben and I absolutely love what he has been doing for the underground House community in the Netherlands. Besides being a masterful selector, he has provided his skills to a movement that I want to see grow massively in the future. 

Follow him: @dj-kingsize
www.soulfullyyours.nl

"Black&Forth is one of the founders of the 'Soulfullyyours' collective from the south of the Netherlands, throwing parties that stand for good quality underground house music. They have been going strong in Holland and Belgium since 2000 and have hosted many great names like Paul Johnson, DJ Mes, J Paul Ghetto, Hector Moralez and many many more!"
"In 2000 a group of friends from Sittard, with a shared passion for House, decided to organize parties in Sittard. The focus would be on the house as they liked it (underground, chicago, funky, disco-y, 2step, techy...)Besides house there was also a great love for funk, jazz and everything that came close to it. So there would always be a second area where more lounge or live programming would take place. The finishing touch was the decoration. It had to be different than usual, music is important but certainly not everything. So it happened and it is still so! Over the years the composition has sometimes changed a bit, people disappeared into the background and new souls appeared. But 'the whole family' is still together. And that family is big. In addition to DJs and organization, countless people have also been involved in decorating and promoting the parties over the years.
The first party happened on January 19, 2001 and since then there have been Soulfully Yours parties every few months. Around 2005, the first international (like-minded) artists began to experience the Soulfully Yours vibe. Since then, many different artists have been guests and they all mentioned the great vibe. A vibe that would not have been possible without the commitment of all involved!"

This mix is deep, soulful and full of everything that makes underground house music so great. I have nothing but admiration and respect for the amount of talent and work ethic that Vendal brings to the turntables. A true crate digger, he brings tracks that you probably would not have found otherwise. I certainly had a great time jamming to this mix and I hope you do too. Give it up for Vendal!

London in the house! This week, Housebrew Sessions presents to you a poppin' new DJ who throws down floor filling Tech House! When things open up, you KNOW she will be doing just that! With upbeat vibes and bumpin' basslines, this mix emits powerful energy. 

I recently stumbled upon Poppy, and was impressed with the amount of work she put in 2020 to get to where she is today. You can hear the hunger. 

Give it up for Poppy!

"Poppy is a London born DJ new to surface. Having been a part of the London house & circuit music scene for some years, recently as part of the events team for Fire's Exclusive night, she began her DJ journey earlier in 2020. Quick to fall in love, she made her debut at The Source, Maidstone in October, playing a fusion of house, tech house, and old school classics.

Expect a dirty beat...and a few surprises thrown in the mix."

Housebrew Sessions is proud to present yet another globetrotter of house music! Qüsa has supplemented his travel experience with a deep love of the sounds that dictate the realm of the underground. 

Indulging deeply in the jazzy elements of Jackin House, Qüsa , masterfully blends those ingredients into a journey ranging from deep and soulful to straight up alley cat material. Chicago would be proud! 

Give it up for Qüsa!

On this edition of Housebrew Sessions I bring you a nuclear bomb of a mix. 

Boy did this mix hit hard. DJ Bacy in the house with a hard hitting Deep Tech mix that will rattle you to the core if you pay attention. Its hard to envision soul from such beats, but Bacy weaves a nice story with her selection that will leave you satisfied yet yearning for more. 

I have to publicly thank her for this introspective mix. It is rare for a DJ to put their music where their heart it is. 

Give it up for Bacy!

"Once upon a time, on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, there was a party called Keep Tahoe Deep. The last Saturday of every month people would come and dance to the greatest house music. It was the most magical environment I’d ever been a witness to. Everyone was happy and loving. So much laughter and silliness. I noticed the way everyone felt the music at the same exact time, DJ and the crowd. It was a beautiful sight. 

What started as a much-needed hobby, turned into hanging out with the greatest people all the time. Dancing together & laughing together. DJing together. Repeat. For years and years. Seeing the sunrise over Lake Tahoe. Over and over. House parties turned into playing in public, with the continuous support of all. One of us had a show, We were all there to dance. Miss DJ Lucky and I became the best friend duo, Learning and playing together whenever we could. Always having the guidance and support of our male dj friends. I now live for the moments of “remember when we were ____ (insert fabulous place we’ve danced) and you dropped that one track, and I was like “f yeah!” Because I felt it too. 

I have had a ton of fun playing all around the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, Reno, San Francisco, Boise, Burning Man, in an Airplane Hangar, but I am still a sucker for those magical House parties. ALL because of house music, I made friendships that shaped the rest of my life, I live for moments on the dance floor with my people."

Happy day! 

On this installment of Housbrew Sessions the old school house/vibes have come in full force. Katty Q from Mexico City is here to let you hear exactly what you forgot you needed. 

Bridging the gap across several genres of house, she pays respect to what made it so good to begin with. This mix reminds me of those underground house parties of the 80s where dance fillers were the only option. Soulful, funky and deep, give it up for Katty Q!

Katty is an essential member of Atractor Crew in Mexico City, a multidisciplinary group where technology, science, art and music converge to create unique expressions and experiences.
