warehouse moods and grooves

This is the first part from a set I played in Denver, Colorado in 2002. The guys that put on the party ran a great label called Casa Del Soul. They were a bit like a US version of Swag back then. A couple of years later they went on to start Beatport, which is really something, but back when I first played for them they were just a bunch of cool guys who loved DJ'ing, making records and raving. Good days.

Dave M Basement Sessions Denver Disc 1

Another old mix of mine from 1996. For me this is the start of what became Tech House - as in a style of music being produced. It has some of the classic dutch stuff on here, from the WORK label and also features one of Asad Rizvi's first tunes, among others.. Enjoy
