私は「クラブ アライアンス」へのエスコートを待たなければならなかったので、あなたの「ラブソングの夜」にはあまり参加できませんでした。私が参加して、1800 からクラブが閉まるまで聴き始めた夜は、とてもバランスの取れた素晴らしい夜でした。私はウィスキーを飲みながら、当時のガールフレンド (今は妻) と会話をしました。あなたがつながりを手助けしてくれたと思います。音楽は会話を刺激し、お互いに親しくなるための良い基盤となり、パーティーが始まりました。「シャドウさん」、懐かしい思い出をもう一度思い出させてくれてありがとう!

寝る前にこれを聞いていると、純子 は「AL B. SURE」が大好きなので、あなたは彼女を幸せにしました。

私がこの「EDDIE MURPHY」の曲を初めて聞いたのは、あなたがDJをしていた時でした。それから5～6年経つまで、他のクラブで誰かがこの曲をかけているのを聞いたことはありませんでした。これはあまり知られていない非常に珍しい曲ですが、良い曲です。私たちはこの曲が大好きです！

Exceptional mix of throwback jams! Love it!

Welcome to a session that transcends mere sound; it’s an experience curated for your senses, offering over sixty minutes of uninterrupted slow jams designed to envelop you in warmth and intimacy. Imagine setting the scene: a warm bath to soak in, candles flickering softly to cast a gentle glow, and the soothing melodies playing at just the right volume. As the strains of the music wash over you, allow yourself to drift into a world of affection and longing, where every beat is a heartbeat of love, inviting you to embark on a journey of emotional connection.

This particular mix captures the raw essence of a night out, recorded live at Club Alliance in Yokosuka, Japan. The music flows directly from the speakers into magnetic tape, preserving the authentic atmosphere of the venue, unadulterated by the usual post-editing processes. You'll feel the energy of the crowd reverberating through the notes, experiencing all the imperfections and spontaneity that come with live recordings. It’s a reminder of the beauty of unfiltered moments, where every high and low mirrors the experience of being present in a shared space filled with connection and rhythm.

Reflecting on the vibe that filled nights at themed parties, this session evokes the nostalgia of a time when slow jams held court. For the first three hours, guests would gather to enjoy bump-and-grind tunes, creating a serene atmosphere reminiscent of Quiet Storm vibes, a space meant for conversation and connection before the music invited everyone to let loose. There was a certain magic in those moments, when a DJ would slow it down just right, allowing for the kind of intimate dance that brought people closer together. So as you immerse yourself in this collection, know that you are partaking in an auditory feast that celebrates the tenderness of love, connection, and shared experiences.

In this realm, the DJ becomes more than just a facilitator of music; he takes on the role of a preacher at his pulpit, delivering sermons through beats and melodies. So, as you surrender to the sound and let it wash over you like a cleansing rain, open your heart to the message within. Allow your mind, body, and soul to harmonize with the rhythms, leading you to a state of bliss. Embrace this moment, for it’s not just a listening session; it’s an invitation to feel deeply, connect authentically, and emerge happier on the other side. Welcome to this sacred space—your sanctuary of sound. Enjoy the journey!

I'm a person who loves music and creating mixes of full-length songs for friends along my travels. I like to spin with no setup, just playing off the top of my head while in the moment.  

Currently, I am sharing the mixes with my long-time friends and a new audience. I come from listening to the great DJs at the Gallery, The Garage, The Loft, The Shelter, Zanzibar, The World, The Tunnel (early years), Baseline, Funhouse, The Fever, Bonds International, 1018, on WBLS (early 80's), and too many street parties to mention.  These were the times when people danced (worked it out) all night into the morning and not just bobbed side to side. 

My love for music started in the early 70s as a way to channel my energy in a more positive direction.  Music became my teacher about life's many situations. I gleaned a lot from music, which became a significant part of my lifestyle. Later my older brother started me DJing for private parties in NYC.  

All that training led me to DJing in my travels. Traveling since 1981, I visited 49% of this big blue marble sharing the NYC flavor.  This was when most NYC DJs didn't venture outside of the tri-state area making me a unique commodity in my travels to Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and too many more places to mention here.  None of these nights would have been as memorable if it wasn't for the support of my many friends worldwide!  All of you should stand up now and take a well-deserved bow!

I have DJ'd as the recording media changed through the years from 8-track, reel to reel, cassettes, DAT, Minidisk, CD, MP3, and so on ... This site is just a place to share my music of live club sessions (typically 5-8 straight hours of DJing) with my long time friends who have asked for me to convert their analog recordings to digital format for old time sake. You also get to experience my evolutionary growth in this field.

My humble mixes have the occasional recorded mistakes (record skips, rough mixes, etc.). This is unavoidable when recording live shows directly to the media as I honed my skills through the years. There are not any post-production corrections in the work, you hear the good, the bad, and the ugly mixes. 

All mixes were recorded live, mixes earlier than 2001 went direct to magnetic tape, and after 2001 were digitally captured while staying true to the music, and the dancers' way of life, as my mind's eye feels about the mix at that place in time.  I also made all attempts to pay respect to the artists who created the sound. 

The venue is my church, the DJ booth is my pulpit, and the music is my sermon.  Come on in and listen as I pour out my heart and preach!

Here are a few of the many club nights, months, and years of DJing music. If you listen intently to the song's words, arrangement, and feelings, you might get to know a part of me better.  :-)  

Enjoy and remember to join SoundCloud (it's free) so you can follow me, like it, repost it on your page, and comment on the track.  Brighten up someone else's day by sharing the party with like-minded people by socializing on your platforms!!!!

Ciao, One!
