dd22 - Caught In The Act (2001)

Just like dd21 and dd23 are in a tie for my favorite techno mixes, dd24 is in a dead heat with dd22 for my favorite house mixes.  The early 2000s were an equally special time for hard techno and deep house, and I'm happy to have been a part of it.

dd24 - Carry On (2002)

No artwork, no tracklist, no nothing.  Just a spur of the moment mix I made in '99 as a bit of a precursor to Ultimately Deep.  The track at 18m remains one of my biggest influences.  I was a white label by I think Pal Joey.

Happy! (1999)

I really can't put to words how important this set ended up being to me.  It's kept me company over many long trips through the years.  I'm so glad I recorded it when I did; it truly shows how inspired house made me in the 90s.  My one regret is I never made a track listing, and the vinyl is packed away in boxes now.  Long live Ultimately Deep.  It lived up to its title.  :)

05. f(x) - Love Hate

I will say that this is probably the finest collection of tracks I’ve ever found. It’s the mix that once literally brought me to tears.
In 2003, I wrote:

“whenever i set up to record a house mix, there are inevitably a few records that must get left out, mostly because they are too deep, time doesn’t permit and don’t fit with the rest of the mix. here are those neglected babies, crying out for empathy. this is not peaktime music! one wednesday night i turned down the lights in the studio almost to the point where it was pitch black in the room, turned up the system real loud, and absolutely got lost in it. in today’s depressed music industry, the beautiful and intelligent tracks get left out, replaced by candy coated bullshit. the artists represented here have obviously recorded these soulful gems for the love. they were released between 2002 and 2003, largely under the radar.”
