Hey everyone, I want to tell you a bit about my song 'Lifestyle.' This track is all about embracing who you are and living your life unapologetically. It's a celebration of individuality and the joy of being true to yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks. I wanted to create an anthem for those who live life on their own terms, loving themselves fully and fiercely. I hope this song empowers you to embrace your unique lifestyle and shine your brightest. Thanks for listening and living your best life with me!

We're back with a new upload from the Local Underground Classics Series. This edition features an early house mix by DJ Dao. In the late 90's and early 2000's, Dao played a central role in the growth and cultivation of dance music in Reading, PA. He co-owned and operated Digital Movement Productions alongside Branson Bell and Brent Yocum (over various incarnations), and performed throughout the region as DJ Dao. 

Dao was and is a master craftsman in the art of the journey mix. His mixes tell a story. His mixes paint a picture.  In his mixes there is love and loss, tension and tumult. In his mixes there are tracks chosen with care.    

In the selection featured here, we find an artist seeing his tools and palette in a fresh way...as a means to storytelling. 

Since then, Dao has been telling stories in the Bay Area where he has resided for the last 20+ years. 

We love you, Dao. 



Dao provides the following description of his mix. 


"There Again and Here Now (2000 c.e.)

Do it! Set the DeLorean to December 2000 and tune into these funky feelings of hope, regret, love, and fear.

I had been spinning vinyl for only 3 years at the time. But, I had this desire to story tell through the mix’s lyrics. The arc of this mix is deeply influenced by Dubtribe Soundsystem’s style of lyrical journey, with the end lyrics resolving the opening. I had recently broken up with a beloved partner, I was young and stumbling through life as you do at 23 years old. I was no longer feeling moved by the Trance and Progressive I used to spin years’ previous, but I had a vinyl arsenal of slower House & Breaks I could finally mix confidently.

I needed to do some work. Cathartic and soulful work; and I did. I worked it all out in this mix. This was a pivotal point in my life going from merely spinning a sequence of tracks into striving for something … mmm, more meaningful.

I want you to choose

"Move" is a high-energy dancehall anthem that brings pure vibes to the dancefloor. Driven by infectious riddims, pulsating basslines, and hypnotic percussion, the track commands bodies to move without hesitation. Whether you're winding down low or turning up the heat at a party, "Move" delivers that raw Caribbean flavor, blending rhythm and attitude into an irresistible groove. It’s not just a song — it’s a call to action: feel the beat, lose control, and just move.
