Nate Lawrence #♥️🏠🎵

Good people; those who live in Minneapolis (USA) have a tongue-n-cheek rule that is passed around the club scene: never play a Nate Laurence track when Nate Laurence is in the room. I laugh. I'm my own worst critic. 

So, to appease these dope folks, I've done a live mix (no sync, no bs) of all ORIGINAL tracks; some released; some unreleased; and, some coming in 2022. 

Enjoy. Go nab the tracks where you buy/stream. AND...Happy New Year to you all. The best in 2022.

Bunkaball invite Geto Mark - 18 Avril 2023

Careful this one will strip the paint off your walls. The next chapter of B2B sessions for House Fusion Radio with producers I admire and who inspire, EP.33 [broadcast FRI 18TH OCT] teams me up with one of my favourite talents in the game in House heavyweights, DOPE DEMEANORS. Supported by legendary DJs Carl Cox, Carl Craig, Mark Knight, Supernova, Jamie Jones, Steve Lawler, and more ... it's Tech and Jackin House at its' absolute finest. Followin' a Dope Demeanors set is like steering your car into the path of an oncoming hurricane and through the other side in one piece, but with all the doors and windows blown out, and a helluva lot more 'junk in your trunk'.  A proper party rocker, the boys brought their A-game for this, smashing the first hour with an absolute banger of an opener set, forcing me to bring my A-game as well.  Buckle-up for a bouncy ride and we'll see ya on the other side. 🥳

Dope Demeanors X Aaron James - B2B Producer Series Ep.33 - House Fusion Radio

As part of the monthly "DayFunk Presents" DJ mix series, the newest installment kicks the fun up a notch with an hour long mix curated by DJ Butter. We've mixed up the format a bit, and rather than a focus on a single artists as in past mixes, we're diving into a genre: Hip House. If you're familiar with the early 90's formats, this goes beyond that into bootlegs and tracks that bring the sound forward a few decades.

It's not about us...it's about "us". We're a community, a gathering of people who share a love for house music. Whether we were there from the beginning, or we just came in - we're all riding the waves of house. We've experienced the highs and lows, danced until dawn, and feel the pulse of the sound that helped define us.
Many of the legends who started it all are still out there, working their magic. They inspire us, and we pay tribute to them every month with events that go beyond just a party. It's a chance to connect, to enjoy the music that has shaped our lives, and to support the talented local artists who share our passion.
We want to invite you to be a part of our journey, to feel the moment, and experience the unity that house music brings. It's all happening right now, and we would love to have you join us.

There are just a couple of parties that I play enough times to make a completely specific set for each time, and make it my absolute best.

One is Lightning in a Bottle, which I'm not a resident of but have played 7 of the last 8 fests.

I've prepared for many different time slots at LIB, always looking at this large and spectacular festival as one where people primarily want to dance and have fun.

So I ramp up my funk and vocals (usually playful but i did have one protest lyric in this year's - you can't miss it).  

I lean on the uplifting side, spend a lot of time choosing music and organizing a playlist so i can play appropriately for my time slot and come back thinking it was one of the best sets I've ever played.  

Something that was different for me this year is I took a year and a half off from buying new music prior to LIB in order to reporganize my collection, which now spans 30 years.

Sometimes it's better to understand better what you already have before adding to a massive music collection.

But I never intended my break to be that long!  It just kept going.  And I had a couple of hard drive farts in the middle which didn't help.  

But anyway,  I started buying music again about two months ahead of LIB because I wanted to play an all new music set,  and I also wanted to to  take the time to understand the new music very well.

The problem with playing all new music at a gig is that I don't always take the time to understand it well enough to know if it's as good as the music I already have.  It's fun because it's new... but is it really adding something?

So this time I really took the time to select tracks - I was picky AF!  
This time I spent a lot of time also to play with my tracks, mix them in different ways and really try to only include tracks that were blowing my mind, so that I could give that to the dance floor.

Also spent a lot of time on tagging producers in this description - hope it helps you to discover some great new artists and music!

Ben Annand LIB 2025 Junkyard Closer

Ben Annand set off Camp DayFunk 2025 with a heady, deep, and impeccably crafted dance floor-first set that captured the tone for the entire weekend. From the first beat, he pulled the crowd into a sound that felt both grounded and expansive, layering warm, textured elements with basslines that built steadily without ever rushing the moment. There was a patience to his flow, a quiet confidence that allowed dancers to lose themselves in the space between the kick and the melody. Equal parts meditative and body-moving, Ben’s set honored the spirit of the forest and the promise of the dance floor, weaving a sonic tapestry that felt ancient and new at once. It was the perfect invocation, a chapter that reminded everyone why we gather together in the first place.

Nate Laurence - COVIDamins VIDcast LIVE (VINYL ONLY ADDITION) 9-24-20

If persistence and passion is a recipe for success, Nate Laurence (Minneapolis, MN, USA) characterizes the journey. Nate is, of course, the quadruple threat: veteran DJ since 1994, prolific producer, event-coordinator, and label owner.

Nate has always been a DJ first. Once known as DJ Unity – a patron of former Minneapolis RAVE troupe “UNIK Communications” – Nate has labored for his place in house music. A career that developed over the course of a decade – largely behind the scenes – has now become impossible to ignore. Amid absurd energy behind the decks – layered with dexterous turntablism – Nate impresses even the most cynical critics one at a time “leaving wows in his wake.” Today, Nate remains active with gigs reaching as far as Europe, Southern Africa, and throughout the United States. Though national and international bookings keep him busy, in 2009 Nate fulfilled an enduring aspiration and true privilege by becoming a resident DJ at the legendary First Avenue Nightclub in Minneapolis.

After living in his second home of Cape Town, South Africa in 2001, Nate focused on production. Since then, his discog has grown at a reputable pace. With rookie releases on Flatpack Traxx, Funkfield, and Control Recordings, Nate proved his aptitude as a gifted producer. His distinct production style has continued to mature, signing EPs with Spatula City, Guesthouse, Love Network, Onethirty, Mindtravel, and Flapjack Records to name but a few. In 2007, Nate partnered with Chicago-based beatmaker, Scrubfish (Scott Kammer) and together they continue to reach Top100 lists worldwide while each new release continues to outshine subsequent releases.

In 2008 Nate created “HotDish.” HotDish is both a collaborative of DJs (Nate and good friend J Matthews) and an event crew that has become an illustrious house movement in Minneapolis. Finally, in 2011 Nate began a new philanthropic record label, Pluralistic Records. Pluralistic Records releases distinct and unique tracks that cross the boundaries between Chicago, Detroit, disco house, and tech house...or simply, house. 

Notably, Nate (the academic) is also a Social Justice advocate, activist, and educator working at the University of Minnesota. This part of him is infused in his music, his branding, and all that he works to accomplish. Keep your eyes open for this talented and very different househead - who continues to give his all to keep the music fresh and far-reaching.
