Forgotten Devotions: A New Wave Mix

I found an old mixtape of mine from 1999. Filled with a number of Chicago records, in that they were loved and played by the pioneer Chicago DJs and also tracks made by Chicago producers, amongst other great tunes.

From Model 500, Quando Quango, Ralphie Rosario to Planet-E funkiness to Jeff Mills's raw Techno to the deepness of Ron Trent, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Kraftwerk, and then some.

Sorry I don't have an official playlist. Recorded w my bud's rec's @ his crib. If you wanna know a track I'll get you the info.

Space Jack Mix

This is my part of that particular Sunday's show broadcast at http://www.mixomat.org. I had a great time playing records with my friends Chicagodeep, Taelue, and Specter. Thanks to Chicagodeep for the opportunity to play some tunes for you; always appreciated! Note: I don’t rehearse my sets in advance and I like to take chances by mixing up styles and genres that I like—and this is how DJing stays interesting for me. Hope you enjoy.

An approximate recreation of the set I did at Neo Chicago on September 3rd, 2010.

Did my best to remember what I played and in what order, but alas, some records I played different tracks from them and after recording I realized I forget to play a few. Got the broad vibe of the Neo set though for those that asked about a recording and for those curious about what I played that night.

Recording of the set I did for the Thursday House Music weekly, "Get Deep" at Tiger O’Stylie’s, a venue in Berwyn, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. Its resident DJs are Foxxo, Ruben Flores and Fusion.

I grew up in the early 80's in front of the radio and was captivated by funky Disco grooves, the synthesizer melodies of Italo Disco, the relentless percussive rhythms of Chicago House and early Detroit Techno, and the aggressive textures of Industrial. I have since then developed a manic obsession with music and sound and been influenced by many artists across seemingly unrelated genres.

I don't care about trends in music - good music is good music, period.
