Before graduating the CIJ Clarity Catalyst Course with Bodhi Calagna at Remix Your World, students were assigned a creative project where we were to use our ‘remixed’ imaginations and creativity. This is my project - a mashup I created for the soundtrack to the genesis of PHILYRA...
Hear the thunderbolt that spawns Philyra’s egg and starts the roar of the fire.  Be witness to Philyra’s hatching and be the first to hear her voice.  Listen as she takes her first steps from the nest out of the flames.  Feel the wind against your face as she stretches and beats her wings to ready them for her inaugural flight.  Celebrate as she spreads her wings, finds her voice and soars into the sky.  This is PHILYRA'S RISE...

This is my edit of Dream On, by Aerosmith. I had to remix this song as it is one of the all time rock classics and I felt like putting a little melodic techno spin on it would really compliment the powerful vocals from Steve Tyler. Let me know what you think in the comments! Free download available. LFG!!!

The event "Come Together," held on Sunday, November 10th at the Good Room in Brooklyn, was exactly what many of us needed to soothe the pain from the devastating results of the election. 

Considering the nature of the party, its impact on people’s spirits, and the long road ahead, I thought it would be fitting to share my uplifting set from the event.

Enjoy this post-Election gift to “Sooze” your nerves. ;-)

Erotica: A Fire Island House Party Part 3 of 5

This next set continues for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I lift the energy a bit here compared to the first two podcasts in this set, yet don’t expect peak energy; this particular evening wasn’t about that.

There’s a fade-out on the last song because the cops showed up the first time. We shut down for about 30 minutes and resumed again, which will pick up on Podcast Four.

Enjoy,

6/8/24 Erotica: A House Party (Fire Island Pines) 5 of 5

Live @ Rhythm Sanctuary (Ecstatic Dance Set)

Michael Thomas’ journey on the decks began almost three decades ago at a friend’s downtown loft for a small private party. It was in the middle of this party where Michael was offered his first paying and public gig, leading him to his first DJ residency at Cleveland’s newest bar, Club Visions, where he would remain for the next almost two years developing his following and honing his craft.  Quickly recognized for his uplifting sound and unique story-telling placed Michael in high demand, adding him to the rosters for national events like The Ohio Boy’s Club parties and Dancin’ in the Streets in Cleveland, Corbett Reynolds’ ‘Rudely Elegant’ Red Party in Columbus and Change of Seasons in Atlanta to name a few.  Michael has been a frequent returning guest DJ at nightclubs throughout the U.S. and has helmed multiple residencies in Cleveland, Fort Lauderdale and Chicago.   

Some of Michael’s strongest early influences like veteran DJs and legends Mark Tarbox, Susan Morabito and Buc or famed producers Frankie Knuckles, Mark Picchiotti and David Morales are still inherently present and recognizable in his sets today – uplifting vocals and banging piano keys and horns, sexy Afro and tribal rhythms and percussions, underground tech or warm melodic techno. Michael's timing and his command of the room are proof to a resumé that spans nearly two decades. His versatility as a DJ has booked him gigs for tea dance to after hours for big rooms such as U4IA in Cleveland or Tabernacle in Atlanta to the intimate Posh or Sidebar in Fort Lauderdale. 

Michael Thomas had been away from the decks for nearly a decade while he focused on his bar career, family and self. During that time he was part of the development team and later became Head Bartender for one of the country’s leading cocktail bars, Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago. During his tenure at Sable Kitchen & Bar, Michael gained national attention in publications like Imbibe, Timeout, Forbes, Chicago Tribune, Plate, Men’s Journal, Travel & Leisure, Wine Enthusiast, Bar & Restaurant and Zagat and was a key contributor to the bar earning national accolades:  “10 Best Restaurant Bars in Chicago” by USA Today, “Best Hotel Bars” by Food and Wine, “Best Bars in America” by Esquire, “Best Bar Team” and “Best American Hotel Bar” by Tales of the Cocktail.  During this time he also married his long-term partner and soul mate, Canadian-born artist Darren Jones.

Recently, Michael is speaking publicly about his ‘aha’ moment(s) during the COVID-19 lockdown and how he was brought back to the music. In lockdown, he faced his demons with eyes wide opened and triumphed over his many years' battle with addiction and is now living sober.  In his sobriety, he says he is "learning self-love," has adopted "an essential routine of self-care" and has uncovered a new found spirituality where he's discovered his muse, Philyra. Michael's return to the DJ booth is bringing a new maturity and a refreshed sound that he credits to life experience – the struggles and celebrations, alike. With an invigorated perspective and his self-proclaimed “reincarnation” combined with his music, one might say they are listening to the soundtrack of his life. Michael’s ability to create a “journey” for his dance floor has never been more apparent and will undoubtedly continue to propel him to tell his story and compose his “soundtrack."
