la hop radio (march 2022)

opening set for @orla_cd, moving from the first entrants to peak time for the third event at the revamped 165 geary ave. hope you enjoy the arc, and the primetime appearance from acappellas over techno - mh.

Live at Standard Time (09/30/22)

my first proper dance mix, from vinyl to logic, featuring multi genre selections inspired by the party of the same name. enjoy! - m.h.

hottawa nights (part 2)

this mix is about connecting cities and sounds that make my heart sing.  inspired by two @hottawadance nights held in march and may of this year at a lovely artists' loft in hull, quebec called triple seven. records spun feature releases from detroit and durban, berlin and boston, toronto and montreal. enjoy! - m.h.

hottawa nights (part 3)

vinyl mix made in anticipation of the friends e.p. release party put on by toronto's @young-clancy at the baby g on march 13, 2019. alternate titles include "feeling better now" &/or "please, will the winter end?" this set leads with my favourite downtempo tracks of the past few years, some R&B classics overtop of a beautiful ambient piece by @nickschofield, recent finds from a trip to NYC, and songs made physical by @personalpersonalrecords. it's fun, imperfect, and it exists — which I'm into right now. enjoy - mh.

friends mix

my guest mix for @emissive's monthly vitamix program on montreal's @n10-as community radio. aired january 21, 2020 at 12pm EST.

starts as a slower burn from ambient and downtempo courtesy of shops like La Rama, Death of Vinyl, and Play de Record into recent classics from D. Tiffany, Roza Terenzi, Raf Reza, Patrick Holland, People Plus, Mörk, X-Kalay, Mr. G, Molinaro, Magic Black, and more, plus some 80s grooves throughout. it's fun and weird and imperfect and a fitting adieu to capricorn season. all vinyl but for a beautiful new track from Bergsonist on the future ethics zine. check that out at futureethics.net and of course the radio at N10.AS/ 

enjoy! - m.h.

vitamix

sounds from march, 2020: newsfeed roundup, optimism and fear, how are you otherwise?, a love letter to L, recall time before, embrace afterward.

made with two technics, a pair of pedals, and an aux via virtual DJ. recorded onto tape and a TASCAM, edited for fun. 

hope you enjoy, as much as one can. - mh
