Sometimes music doesn't have to hurt...  Sometimes it needs to lift you up, sometimes it needs to soothe; soothe the 9-5, soothe the daily stress; soothe the bills...

this is a collection of sounds that do just that: rooted in disco and soulful house, this playlist is curated to make your smile just a little bigger than it was before you started.

Sounds from the BackDoor

Grüvin To This

Somewhere between bronchitis, bleary eyes, and a roller coaster plane ride, a little soul clarity came out to play...

This mix grows form soul to disco to some downright classically flavored house. It is fit for a Florida November poolside, or the car, or the floor. Nothing pretentious. Nothing trendy. Definitely nothing hip. ...Just good, soulful, funky house. I hope you enjoy.

This time,

'WE ARE...'

Alive: FLL --> LAX

Alive   FLL --  LAX

There's nothing like being locked into a steel tube being hurtled through the air at 500mph by controlled explosions to get your creative juices flowing.

This episode is a grinder.

A grower.

A builder.

She starts as deep and sexy as one could imagine with a classic track remixed by an old friend, Mr. Luther Sole Essential of South Africa; and she grows and changes through some dirtysexy house slathered with soul through some chunky-funky to really get your feet moving. There's no filler here; and, definitely no trending top 40. There are just some of my recent favorites blended with some iconic house tunes of the early 2000's. I hope you enjoy; because this time:

Alive...  In The Loft

A little reposting for those that missed it


There's nothing like being strapped to a small seat for six hours to get the creative juices flowing...
This mix is deep, brooding, and soulful; and it grows into chugging tech-house, takes you to church (it is one of my mixes after all); and, finally, peaks with some heavy techno. This mix is definitely enough to fill your deepest, darkest vodka and sweat-soaked dancefloor dreams.

Honcho Podcast Series 22 - BUTCHED

It’s time to dig deep and let go…  Hot days are on the way; and ‘SUN’days are a time to catch all of the beauty of the moment.  This mix is reflective of just that: warming up deep in those sunrise moments; and grows through the day until the drinks and vibe have you up on your feet far away from the day’s troubles, miles apart from this week’s shitshow on the news.

Like all true ‘SUN’days, there is a heavy dose of the old school; and be prepared to peak at the height of church.   …as is the custom for ‘SUN’days.


Get ready, all-

because this time,

This morning, The BackDoor Session was plagued by technical difficulty.  Then, once rectified, the set was officially blocked by the powers that be...  Despite the proliferation of WTF's a pretty joyous, discofied get-down ensued, and this is the fruit of the sweat and swearing.

Put yourself in your Sunday best, mix your favorite cocktail, and shake it with your socially-distanced favorite folks.

I hope you're ready to work, because this time

Tonight 'We' are taking a quick trip through disco-flavored funk.  Just a quick hour of familiar, fun tunes recorded for the Lambda Men's Brotherhood's Love-IN-Athon: a Valentine's Day show filled with performers, artists, and djs who wanted to let everyone know 'Love Is The Message.'

If these Corona-shenanigans have taught us anything, it's that 'We' do better when 'We' do this together, so, if you can, support Lambda Men's Brotherhood, or another local charity with a donation or your time.
