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.

"Dancing for me -- all my life I've been dancing -- it was always a social kind of thing. And now that I look back in retrospect, I know that whenever I was unhappy, not feeling well, or depressed, I would dance. I usually danced around a table. And now that I have more knowledge, the concept of dancing around a table -- table -- circle -- circle is completion, circle is wholeness, 360 degrees, that kind of thing, but the music and the movement around the table and around the table -- when I finished I always felt great. So now I say that was a form of unconscious therapy, but all I knew was that I felt raised; I felt lifted. So I loved to dance all of a sudden. It became my life". -- Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, Black Drama (1973).

Combining 21 years of mixing with production, I love to produce/ play music that comes from the soul, goes to the decks and is felt on the floor!

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.


Soul-D is a creative performer that specializes in various genres such as Deep, Soulful, Jackin, Afro & Commercial House.

Having spent a some time doing marketing at Vacca Matta, in Edward Street, he decided to come back into the performing circuit. He made his comeback at the Funky Buddha Paarl & has ever since played the opening set & back 2 back with the house resident, TheGrizz. He also played the opening set at Summer Splash in 2013 & 2014. DJ Alistair has also made appearances at AfterLife, Havanna & Capello's. He has been featured on radio stations Goodhope FM (The 411), Mutha FM and Radio KC.

For him, it’s about the mood and a deep, hypnotic groove…playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head which will eventually have you grooving on the dance floor.
