It's always an honor to contribute a mix for his show. Big thanks to my friend and og for having me and sharing my music with the world. Respect!

In this latest release from Dante, he definitely takes us on a voyage and at times this mix most assuredly feels haunted. The set begins with an homage to the past and lures you in with it's safe accessibility, but the set list quickly morphs into a more assertive sound that energizes the spirit and your curiosity. One can sense an ominous tone as the tracks progress in both dark chords and tempo. By the time you're halfway through, Dante gives us an energy level that's perfect for big room dance floors, and just as you're yearning for a bit of a break, the denouement of the mix begins and he sends us off with dreamy, funky positive vibes. This is a great mix for our transition to the new year...we're all cautiously optimistic.  - John Atchley

Plenty of variety in the drum structure keeps the energy surprising with everything from breaks to straight beats.

GLOW NYE2023 - Part Three - Scott Riley

It feels like our guest this week has been travelling forever.  We have been hounding him to give up a slice of life on the road.  Robby's recent travels in and out of the US have brought international polish to a DJ style already well-versed in both the warmth and fun of a dance floor.  Early in this set Robby delivers straight-forward and uplifting house.  Later he moves quickly from track to track keeping the energy on high.  Robby is known and loved for showing his audience where dance music is going (and where it is from) all at the same time.

Episode 119 - Robby Clark - Summer Soundz

This new segment of mixed music continues to grow and shine and everything about this week's podcast says "welcome".  Chock full of serenity and nuance you could easily put these songs on your self-help shelves.  Lofty pads are paired with more obvious and bubbling baselines.  Scotts bridges and the tracks themselves open your ears as the drops enter the musical frame in a subtle and welcome style.  Throughout the vocals provide the guide, ever encouraging the listener to stop and catch the vibe.

Subset 9

IH20 - Scott Walls - Summer Grooves

Electronic music does good work evolving the listener.  A great DJ is always available to these new waveforms.  At rare points in this evolution, even the stage gets a rework.  As sound and style are presented, the listener's ear has the wonderful job of stitching together music on a soundstage in the mind.  The set is a hallmark of syncopation, alternating between the stereo channels.  It brings about an atmosphere rich with physical behavior to engage the listener on a unique level.  Right from the top it makes tight work of the new organic genre  Good show Scott Riley.

Episode 155 - Scott Riley - Quinquagenarial

This week we save and upgrade this music life, all in one mix.  No one can predict when music festivals will become the norm again,  we all know they were due for an overhaul.  Those big top promoters need this sound.  Dante throws it all at the big room for the first half.  These are songs deserving to be at the top of the decibel range.  Pulsing, throbbing and simplified for grooving.  This progressive dance has hints of disco even trance but gives way to moving melodic house and tech house for another solid hour.   The emotional release is complete with smooth, heavy music that carries those late-nights home as memories.

Follow The Wolf

Episode 158 - Dante - Follow The Wolf

House music brings the multi-dimension of sound to a place where contemplation and expression meet.   The dance music industry keeps adding genres to suit the diversity and gives artists and fans more ways to connect.  Scott makes strong connections to style and tightly stitches tracks together so they become a single, mindful movement.  (At 1hr 14 min you can hear things that only happen underground.)  This mix shines a light on both art and artist.  But as entertainment it is larger than the sum of its parts.
