HÖR - Ian Pooley 20.01.2023

If you don't like house with vocals swipe left lol.  This set for House Music Fridays so my musical direction was clear.  So again, if you don't like my vocals you can kiss my *ss-  just kidding you can check back for my Studio Mix at the end of March which will be minimal techno with a side of breaks :)

Big thanks to Matthew Brian for having me at House Music Fridays which was a super vibing night.   

A note on technique.  Vocal tracks are tricky and often have a lot of melody on top of the vocals so not the easiest to mix together.  For that reason, and others I made two playlists and alternated between more vocal, melodic tracks, and are stripped-down mixing tracks (some of these also have vocals). This creates the effect of coming out of vocals kind of bumping, then back into vocals which I personally love. 

I hope you enjoy this mix!  Next up for me, this weekend on the beach in El Salvador for Playa Mizata, next weekend in Northern CA (Humboldt County)for Electric Jungle at the Jam Arcata, and end of the month at Bug Out Campout 4 in Southern CA (Mojave Desert)

Just updated my schedule in my Soundcloud Bio, and will add a track listing crediting the artists her very soon <3

Ben Annand Live in San Diego March 10 2023 at House Music Fridays

L.A. Loves...Mark Farina was special not only because it was my first event, in partnership with the Music Institute and Seven Leaves, that I've put together in L.A. but also because it gave me a chance to open for one of my main inspirations: Mark Farina. Mark and I go way back and have played together many times over the years. There's something about opening for someone you know so well that gives any DJ an extra incentive to do it right. Opening is so important to creating the proper atmosphere for any event and it is a lost art. "Killing it", "beating it", "murdering it" have become the end all be all of playing music in a club, at a festival, or at an after hours but setting the stage for the next DJ has become a non option. When done well, an opening set opens every possibility to the headlining DJ. They are not constrained or obliged to change the tempo, lower the volume, or change their plan because the opener has completely lost the plot and gone overboard. You have to know how to lead in and that means sometimes doing some homework, finding out what the headliner is all about so that you can create a hunger for that person's music by being informed, subtle and a little humble. I was lucky enough to be an opener in Chicago for many different styles of DJ and often they were artists I'd studied intently. I take pride in being a good opener just as much as I do in headlining. The two roles are equally important in creating a journey for the dancers, the house heads, and DJ's themselves can join together to make that magic only house music can. It's all about connecting from the 1st track to the last. Hope you dig this!
