WHITE PARTY 25th Anniversary mix

I was telling DJ Michael Rackley that I wanted to make a Pride Month mix - but that somehow I wanted to put a new spin on the concept, a new twist. 

From that vague thought and him hearing me out, a week later, I have a new mix.

It starts with a few clouds, but by the third track, they blow away and the sun comes out.  I think it is a fundamentally happy mix to help you celebrate this month.

---- 

I'm not sure I can precisely define "pride", but I know that being free is part of it - the knowledge of who you are, the courage and space to express it, as well as the confidence to allow and support others in their freedom.

This mix is about freedom.  It starts with struggling to be free.  From there, we deal with having to let another be free, and then wishing for freedom.  The mood moves up to feeling free, pleading for freedom, and then appreciating it; and rises again to revel in it. It ends with the ultimate - the freedom to spread our wings and take flight.

May you all have the insight and courage this Pride Month to be who you truly are.

This mix is dedicated to Michael Rackley for his friendship, and his support in my learning the craft.

House Party 2 Summer 2023

my f*cking rules

For something a little different, this mix is an deliberate visit to something far more vocal house driven. It starts on a chilled take on some huge singalong hits new and old, evolving in to higher energy, driving beats and relying less on a full vocal.
