In an effort to diversify and challenge myself, I've dove into the world of house music . It's only taken me about 20 years...  It feels like most dj's start with house music, so I guess I'm a bit backwards. Shrug?

This one was surprisingly challenging for me as I basically had to dive head first into a whole new, absolutely massive genre of music. Although it generally fits the "four on the floor' formula, the diversity is quite impressive. There is truly SO MUCH of it out there! Because of that, I found it sometimes difficult to carve out the good from the bad. I do feel like I became a better dj through creating this one. 

Here are some of my selections that fit the upbeat but laid back vibe I was going for. Perfectly suited for background music while you do your House Keeping. Funk house done proper. This is happy music y'all!

I want to give a huge shout out to the lovely Jessica for the original artwork. I gave her the fun and silly idea of random animals doing the housekeeping while the dj is rocking tunes in the basement. She absorbed the idea and took it from there. There is so much to look at in this painting! Take your time! This mix was actually recorded quite some time ago, but I knew I wanted to wait for her art to be complete prior to release. So glad I did!

Housekeeping

I acknowledge the Meanjin Traditional Owners of the land on which these creations were made manifest in the physical realm. I pay my respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging as well as the Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may have been here this day either in life or in Spirit.

After picking up a smashing Dastardly Kuts DJ residency at Babylon on Eagle Street in my hometown of Brisbane, I thought I'd take the opportunity to start a new Kut Above Sessions Mixtape Collection.

This is Volume One of the Babylon Sunset Sessions recorded live on Friday the 12th of April, 2024 with vibes of the new and infinite potential of love in my heart.

The last Sessions Collection was released in 2019, way before the World turned upside down with the Covid pandemic, so it feels nice to be back behind the decks and doing what I do best.

After just returning from a year of living on Country and getting reacquainted with the Ancestors, Spirit, Cultural Ritual & Lore, I was a bit rusty on the first couple of transitions in this one, but I soon found my groove.

I am happy with this one and feel it will stan up well against my other Dastardly Kuts live recordings from over the past 20 years in this game.

I'm grateful to be back and feel more ready than ever before to claim my crown as the true King of Babylon.

#LetsDoThis

Babylon Sunset Session - 20240412 - Dastardly Kuts

Cloud City is a new crew launching a Bay Area Hi-Fi Vibes, Zero Proof party for those interested in something different and pure of sound and heart. I had the privilege of being one of the first chosen to launch this incredible adventure into playing music where the theme is "Play what you aren't able to play out to crowds normally." While I definitely would play some of these tunes out, it's not often I would get to - lots of indie dance and swirling melodies/beats in and out of all dance genres. Hope you enjoy the mix as much I did making it!

#Jukebox Dj

For Mike Soultanian DJing is about sending people on a musical journey; inspiring them to go nuts on the dance floor because that's exactly what he would want when he's dancing.  It's about taking people out of their element, sometimes even their comfort zone and enlightening them to a new sound that they just can't resist.  It's about sharing a passion for motivating beats and supporting a great community.  Whether he's hosting a party, promoting a friend's event, or mixing it up behind the decks, Mike's always excited to be a part of the fun.
