Hey folks, if some of you remember we had a little hoedown (is that how you spell it?), anyhoo a party to send off Mike Bryant to Deutschland, celebrate 34th Street John's Birthday, Kevin Dyal's birthday, a goodbye to Javier, and then there was Linus and Me...this is the first of three recordings from the night. This one has me for the first hour 34th Street for the second hour and the start of Kevin's set. Enjoy! 

Precipice TBA Brooklyn part 1: Gok, 34th Street John, Kevin Dyal

Recorded June 9th 2016 in Chicago @ the Loft on Superior....!  My birthday present to YOU....!!   Lots of new bits on here including my remix of Simian Mobile Disco's "Remember in Reverse" that will soon be released and also my remix of Ben Long's "The Solver"..... plus a sentimental old school track that was one of many that lit the fire (also inspired from Movement recently....).

DJ Hyperactive - June On Superior mix

this is the fourth dj mix that i've uploaded to soundcloud and i feel it's this mix that best represents the kind of techno that i like to play, to hear and and to make.

the first 60 minutes are pretty tough solid driving rhythms that give way to 30 minutes of bleepish minimal house.

i look forward to hearing your thoughts.

(if you enjoy then please share)


slynus - dj mix - 'IO' (2013/2014)

I grew up in the South Side of Chicago, and my first memories of house music was in the early 80s having Chicago radio DJ Bad Boy Bill play one of our school dances...HOUSE MUSIC all night long. Okay, till 10pm and with chaperons.
When I went off to college I started defining my musical tastes to combine Industrial, and a generous smattering of Punk. Then in the early 90s, after one of my couple-of-hundred-people-plus house parties got raided by the police, a person that heard about my party reputation approached me to help him organize a party for a bunch of architects and designers. Thus my first Rave in 1991 was born.
In the 3 years I worked closely with the Rave scene in the Midwest, I worked closely with promoters and DJs in Detroit (the birthplace of Techno). My parties brought down talent from Detroit to Muncie, Indiana (which actually became a spot on the map for Raves in the early 90s). Artists like Richie Hawtin, Paris (now of the Detroit Grand Pubas), and Mike Huckaby to name a few.
At this point I also traveled around the Midwest to a wide variety of parties watching the birth of numerous techno and house Godfathers such as Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Derrick Carter and Juan Atkins grow .
It was truly an amazing time for electronic music.
In 1993 I moved to Cyprus and brought my music along with my and tried to introduce a very virgin crowd of people to electronic dance music. This was at a time when dance music was at its VERY fledgling stages in Cyprus and especially Turkey.
I promoted a few parties here and there, and did not graduate from promoting to actually DJing when the hotel that I worked at fired their DJ for their 1000 person plus lavish club.
So it was baptism by fire for me, I had to learn to mix...and I did it.
The rest is history. Since about 1995 I've been DJing regularly, and especially after moving to New York in 2004, I actively promoted and DJed parties. The list of venues and parties are long - most of them I don't remember, some of them don't exist anymore, but nonetheless the memories of the music and the crowds still resonate in many peoples minds.
