It seems like 2013 just flew by. We had our three year anniversary and tried our best to curate a series of diverse yet equally vital mixes from DJ’s new and old. Musically we saw a firm reaction to all the “overground” music (read EDM, actually really read Wack shit) by a surge in creativity in Garage, Drum & Bass and Rap inspired beats. But the real big movement in 2013 was undoubtedly Deep House and Techno. The festival scene in Europe as well as the clubs in Ibiza were dominated by deeper, darker, more soulful 4 to the floor. New artist’s emerged and older ones got their just due, and it would seem a whole new generation fell in love with Techno.

On the home front the parties and events this year reflected this sound as well with a number of excellent Toronto based producers stepping into the world wide spot light. So for our last drop of 2013 we thought we would remind you again about why Tasc has remained one of the best House DJs in Toronto. The French James Bond steps up with this uncompromising journey of low slung, slow burning dance floor funk, mixed with his trademark impeccable precision. The selection however is what really sets it apart. Tasc‘s sound has steadily been progressing deeper and more spaced out with every mix he puts out, his uncanny ear for digging deeper and uncovering gems from across the House music diaspora is as always on full trainspotter display. Tasc veers away from the more obvious and heavily covered hot artists of the moment and crafts a hypnotizing blend of under the radar selections, all tied together to fit his hazy, smoked out sound.

We recommend listening at any early morning after party with beverages of your choice and some good friends, or as the soundtrack to any long drive, flight or train ride. You WILL get lost in time with this one, which knowing Tasc that is exactly the vibe he was on when he made this mix and what he hopes you will experience from it. Clear some time of your schedule and take in properly.

Lost In Time - Vol.1

Lost In Time Vol.2

http://www.channelonestation.com

Well that’s it, the year seems like it quite literally has flown by us. Winter only technically started just last week, the winter solstice marking the shortest day of the year, the turning point where the days slowly start to get longer gives us some glimpse into the promise of summer coming sooner or later. In the meantime the long cold nights offer up plenty of time to spend in dark, smokey clubs, warehouses and booze cans dancing the hours away obliviously to anything going on in the world outside or even around you.

Our man Tasc thrives in these types of environments, his trademark blend of slow burning, murky House music providing the perfect soundtrack to forget to forget your responsibilities, and to forget that you have been dancing in the same dark corner for hours on end. Sliding in as our last mix of 2014, Tasc delivers Lost In Time Volume 3. Once again the Ric Flare of House Music delivers another of his standard clinics in low slung, hypnotic early morning grooves. Deep, textured melancholic soul chugs away giving way to hopeful, uplifting bridge sections shining down on you from above lighting the journey until the next eyes closed, feet moving bassline takes control of your mind.

As with the other volumes in this series, enjoy this mix on whatever thought enhancing substance you like, be it solo in your headphones, or with your close friends at your nye after party. Just remember, if you have anywhere important to be or anything important to do make sure you set an alarm, or have someone you trust come and get you.

See you in 2015!

Tasc
