It's July 20th, 1997... Lobster Jesus and I are in a cheap motel near Akron Ohio returning to NYC from a wedding in Minnesota. Apparently super dated TV Shows and Commercials are the thing here late at night. That old Glade commercial from the 70's comes on, "Fish Odors? Where's My Glade? - The Old Stogie. Where's My Glade?" to which Lob responds at the top of his voice, "Tripping fags in a motel? Where's My Glade?" (SHHHHHHHH!!!)

Flash forward a few years, and a very gay friend of mine hands me some of his favorite "Gay House" tracks and asks me to spin up a CD. I choose the few I can stomach, and decide to mix it up with Acid, just so I can use Lob's quote for a title. That same day Shaun Hilton, who was into Peter Gabriel at the time, asked me if I would ever do a remix of one of his songs. Big Time - Calib's Mix is featured toward the end right before three bonus tracks.

Night of the Living compiles highlights from three prior events, (including Paul & Julie’s Freakin’ Wistah’ BBQ) into one mixed set for the perfect Halloween party of 2009. Subtle references to Halloween are woven into this assortment of seemingly forgotten vintage tracks, (mostly Italo Disco & High Energy along with a few of the club, house and even industrial tracks they inspired).

Latin rhythms, which House Music is already based in are further accentuated in a variety of artful ways in this marathon parade of Latin flavored Deep House, (and a touch of Disco) ranging from 1976 to 2007 as a birthday gift for charismatic Tony Zumba. Tony, hailing from Peru, is currently the beloved premier Zumba Instructor of Bath, Maine. This exquisitely presented mixed set was appropriately assembled in a record time 48 hours for Tony’s birthday party, whose guest list consisted of many of his students from the surrounding area. The party was held on January 16th, 2010, (though he is actually an Aquarius). My crew got the times mixed up and consequently missed the party, but the mixed set remains for Tony. This particular version was shortened to fit SoundCloud's new 2 hour limit on free music. The 5 minute intro & the last 45 minutes of this mixed set are available upon request.

Angels of the Mystic Path is a tribute to the three phases of the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo that took place August 1st, 2008. It is also the name astrologers and spiritualists gave this celestial occurrence, which they viewed as a universal “system reboot” meant to bring to fruition all past problems that have held everyone back from where they need to be, and realigning us with what truly matters to each of us as individuals.

This three CD set is comprised mostly of new releases from July, August & September of 2008, (Deep House, Tech House, Hard Tech) accented midway with a short revisit to older tracks, particularly early nineties classics.

Disc 1 of 3 is appropriately named “Fortuna” after “the bluebird of good luck and life-expanding creative abilities”, so called because of the eclipse’s peaceful blue appearance during its first phase.

"Every child has known God. Not the God of names. Not the God of don'ts. But the God who knows only four words and keeps repeating them: Come Dance with Me." – Hafiz

Excerpt 2 from Space Grits/Deep Space Funk - FULL VERSION AVAILABLE ON THIS PROFILE!!!

All I can say is, at time when I seemed to be releasing so many mixes of various tangents, (styles and time periods) I was itching to make a straight up HOUSE mix with more up to date tracks. In typical form what was intended to be one CD turned into two. The first with darker tracks, the second with a spacier vibe, both with deep elements.

Cimmerian Shade

Friend and Brooklyn resident Will Reed called me up one day asking me to send him a demo for a potential Friday night DJ residency at Sushi Samba, a Peruvian & Sushi restaurant in Manhattan. Stressing the importance of sending a new Latin House mix as soon as possible, I found myself somewhat caught off guard. Thanks to some quick thinking, Sushi Samba was pieced together that afternoon building off just previously released “Sofista’ Funk” and redirecting portions toward a more Latin flavor.
