Junior Vasquez 'Live' @ The Sound Factory NYC, 95' (Manny'z Tapez)

I started my DJ career 36 years ago with a residency at Smart Bar Chicago. I returned this evening to deliver my signature sound of various house genres, seamlessly woven together that took the crowd to a higher state of consciousness. Re-live (or live for the first time) the experience.

If you have ever experienced strong deja vu, which happens to me from time to time, spare a thought for Dolores Abernathy. Dolores, Westworld's supreme anti hero, was constantly forced to consider the nature of her reality.  Had she seen, heard or done it before?  Was she living in the past, present or future?  Stuck in endless loops of predefined narratives and storylines, most of which resulted in pain and grief before she is 'reset' for another round, Dolores thankfully figures it all out.  By choice, beauty and light win in the end, but only by choice - given what Dolores had been through, she could easily have chosen the dark.  Like all great anti heroes, Dolores is profoundly flawed, but that's why we love her.  As a creature of A.I., she's more human than human, and great sci-fi is exactly that, it's only ever really about what it is that makes us human.

Music notes: 
There's several gold nuggets in this mix.  I've squeezed one more Lee Burridge track into another mix with track 2.Diving Bell.  Funky, techy, dreamy.  Pure Burridge.  I can't get enough of track 5. Cloud 9 by Jay Newman, it's so layered and I hear different things each time I listen.  A fairly new producer on my radar by the name of Cahelo gives us track 6 and 7 - Bananaquit and Elsewhere respectively, both are magical, but Elsewhere is at the top of the list for me right now. It's one of the best examples of the organic house genre and I couldn't love it any more.  My other favourite in this mix is track 8. Skywriting by Alberto Hernandez (MX) and Dulus.  It's a euphoric ride with an addictive clip clop.  Superb!  I also have a little crush on Dulus just quietly... he appears in M15-Ripley's Theme (track 7. Nothing To Lose), I love his work and he's a bit of a cutey too...
The last two tracks, track 9. When All Becomes Dust by Awka and Baya, and track 10. Adventures of an Untold Story (Original 12") by Vandelor and Schmidt (BR), are very Dolores Abernathy, track 10 even has a little sample of Bernard Lowe from Westworld asking that famous question to Dolores and the other hosts.  Unfortunately, both tracks 9 and 10 were not great quality, I tried so hard to get them to sound right and it's one of the reasons this mix took so long, I couldn't leave them out.  You can hear they're a bit 'scratchy' if you're really paying attention. 

Like the hosts who are reset in Westworld, or us ordinary humans waking each day and sitting down to breakfast, 4x4 electronic music is just a serious of loops. 

I hope you enjoy the Dolores Abernathy vibes.  Thanks as always for taking the time to listen, I am forever grateful. 
Love and hugs in music and alla prossima!
Albert
