This is the first in a series of mixes I am making for the 'significant others' in my life. The mix is a reminiscent selection of tunes that were pivotal to our (John and I's) time shared in music. John and I have been friends since age 5 and we found electronic music together at the age of 11 through an underground radio station in Cincinnati OH (97x). We started DJing together in 1999 at college (Wittenberg) and began accruing a shared record collection. We opened up the record store together in 2001 and had a storefront in Indianapolis until 2007. This mix features a special list of tunes that bring me back to those early years of mixing with John (Seth & Mack was our moniker). We would spend countless hours listening to records together and curating those 'fine' gems that would make the cut and be a part of our mixable tracks. It was a tough cut, haha! I hope you enjoy this mix of nostalgia from the roots of my mixing days with John (circa 99-03). The featured photos is of John and I in roughly 2002 with our wallpaper of rave flyers behind us - the inspiration of these times, and these tunes.

ilana ariella + Shmoo - Trippin On Water (wip)

From the silk roads of yore to the modern industrial shipping lanes on the high seas, Shmoo's sound is universal sonic commerce for the contemporary ear lobe.

A driving force in the Chicago House scene for over two decades, Shmoo is known for his acclaimed You Are Here series with Derrick Carter at the legendary Spybar and his groundbreaking studio work alongside Gramaphone’s Garrett David. Having previously held residencies at Berlin Nightclub, Copa Lounge, East Room, Electric Hotel, Estate, and the infamous Tanto’s afterhours, Shmoo has left his mark on dance floors across the city.

His debut EP on the iconic Love Notes From Brooklyn label sold out worldwide and earned support from Honey Dijon on BBC Radio 1. During the global club shutdown, Shmoo helped to co-launch SHFFT, a cutting-edge multimedia project that kept the underground spirit alive. He was also invited as a featured guest on DJ Heather's CHI FI SHOW Twitch livestream.

Recognized as one of only six DJs honoured by the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events for excellence in House music production, promotion, and performance, Shmoo stands among legends like DJ Lady D, Steve Miggedy Maestro, and Duane Powell. His contributions haven’t gone unnoticed: 5 Magazine has hailed him as one of “the best people working on the scene in Chicago” and a “hometown hero.”

Shmoo’s remix of “Mack Blagic” by Groovy Drew on Jason Merle’s 4E&A imprint has garnered the support of Carl Cox, while his release “Split Up The Get Go” on the same label climbed to #2 on Beatport’s After Hour Essentials: Deep House chart and #6 on their Best New Deep House chart.

His recent release, “Love With Someone”, a collaboration with Chicago’s ilana ariella on her Cheap Talk label, has received support from Alinka, Sam Divine, Francesca Lombardo, Benji Calendario, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, Satoshi Fumi, Paco Osuna, Severino Panzetta, Hans Thalau, and James Zabiela, among others. The Audio Soul Project (aka Mazi) remix was featured on Traxsource’s Essential Garage chart and peaked at #28 on their Top 100 Garage chart.

In addition to his work as an artist and producer, Shmoo manages A&R for Cheap Talk, helping to shape the label’s forward-thinking sound.

Shmoo’s latest release “UFO Racing At Dusk” is out now on 4E&A, featuring a remix from Jason Merle. The original mix was selected as #5 on Beatport’s Week 16 Weekend Picks House chart.
