A traditionalist when it comes to the DJ scene, DJ Lithium is known to be a headstrong and vocal supporter of Vinyl DJs and vinyl phonograph records. Musically he has been waving the trance flag proudly for years, and continues to do so, but admittedly as trance DJ’s have turned from vinyl to digital formats, he has begun leaning towards the more underground sounds of techno and tech genres where vinyl is still alive and thriving. Could this be the new sound of a modern day DJ Lithium? And now, on to the music! Love always, The Drunken Monkey  

The beginning is a great place to start. Its never too late, and its always a good time. A great monkey once said..."The journey of 1000 miles begins with one step". Then he said "Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still". Finally he said "When your going through hell, don't stop to take pictures!" After that he stepped out on to the dancefloor and disappeared...That my friends is the power of music!    Are you sitting comfortably? Then lets begin...   Love always, The Drunken Monkey    

People of the Earth, this is a transmission from the Mars Resistance Front. Hear us now!  The MRF vanguard has landed in Tharsis with guns blazing. The Grand 7th Orbital army has landed in the south and is advancing rapidly up the Valles Marineris. This is why our brave and dear forces of the interior will arm themselves with advanced weapons. Resist!  It is for revenge, vengeance and justice, that we will keep fighting until the final day, until the day of total and complete victory. This duty of war, all patriots who are here and all those who hear us on Earth and Mars know that it demands Sol system unity. We, who have lived the greatest hours of our history, we have nothing else to wish than to show ourselves, up to the end, worthy of Mars. Long live Mars! Long violin sobs rock my heart in monotonous languish MRF  

Trust us, "Bump" so accurately describes this set, I really don't need to give any other explanation. Just turn your Imperial iPod up to 11 and bump away!  Track list yes, but you'll be too busy dancing to really look!  SAMBA LOCO - WILL GOLD GOD’S LOVE - NATHAN C  TIME TO JAM - FILTHY RICH, PROK & FITCH SO HOT - THE CUBE GUYS LET US GO - PHUNK INVESTIGATION, FEDERICO SCAVO ALL NIGHT - PAROV STELAR; UMEK REMIX CHAMPION - OLIVER LANG CAN YOU FEEL IT? - TODD TERRY, CLS; PROK & FITCH REMIX C4N Y0U R3AD THI5? - SEBASTIEN LEGER 10.

Another set in the highly acclaimed Summer Annual series recorded by Earl Von Bye.   A set as daring and mysterious as the highway and surrounding area in Nevada it's named for. Masterful in its blending if genres, perfect in its simplicity,  and secretive in its track list. Conspiracy? After you listen and find yourself dancing with no explanation...You will WANT to believe. Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

The Kung Fu Master returns!  Tony Morello brings us the summer along with a message of inner peace. May your summer days and your dance floor be filled with serenity. May your path always find you on a voyage of discovery and self improvement. Dance and set your feelings free. Muisc is the answer. No matter where your life is headed, whatever your quest or question. Because Music. Summer Love, The Drunken Monkey

Theres a first time for everything. So it was for the baby monkey Dawson, visiting the studio for the first time with Dad, the energetic DJ Dirty. Now with a new title, Daddy Dirty! Seriously? Well, yes he's a dad, but no we won't actually call him that, too cheesy! lol! So here it is and yes it's an ALL VINYL affair, of classics and favorites in house and dance. Dawson declined to be interviewed and may have enjoyed his time in the studio with Dad, or given that he mainly just drank some milk and fell asleep...maybe not! So put on your dancin shoes, feel free to drink milk too if you feel the thirst! Love Always, The Drunken Monkey.

Dance all day, and dance all night! House music all night long! You know what I mean? But what about them feet? Even the very best dancing shoes eventually leave your dogs a barkin! The time does come for everyone, monkeys and stormtroopers too, when you need a break....so TIME OUT! No the music doesnt stop but lets bring it down, way down, deep down, Dramatik down.  Thats right, our good friend DJ Dramatik has put together the perfect solution for your time out. So kick back, relax, recharge, meditate and just be. Aaaaahhh yes thats chill! But be careful, it doesnt take much to make those toes start tappin again....oh theres the beat, cant resist, GOT TO DANCE!!! You decide, chill it out, or dance it up! Love always, The Drunken Monkey

  I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words... I scatter them, in time and space. A message, to lead myself here.   I want you safe, my Doctor. Protected from the false God. You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them. Everything must come to dust. All things, everything dies. The time war ends...   How can I let go of this? I bring life. The sun and the moon, the day and night... but why do they hurt? I can see everything... all that is... all that was... all that ever could be.   Allons-y! The Doctor Monkey.

  Happy New Year! Time to reflect on the days past? So how was it for you? Did you make enough time to dance? Listen to many vinyl records? Set any records? Break any hearts? Well whatever your year looked like, now is the time to dance your way into 2015, THE FUTURE! So here we go, not holding anything back, lace up your trancing shoes for a new 138 epic trance monster, recorded with incredible fury and the finest of Kung Fu, by the take no prisoners, vinyl warrior, DJ LITHIUM. Yes now you know the score, enjoy 2015! Love always, The Drunken Monkey

  It started as a typical day in the heat of the Canadian summer. Festival season was in full swing!  The event was called Connect and the ravers, campers and freaks roamed the wilderness. Enter Sir Tony Morello, the pride of the west and quite possibly the finest mixing talent in the Northern hemisphere. No sooner had our hero stepped onto the main stage, when in typical Canadian weather freakishness, it suddenly erupted with thunderstorms! oh no! horrors! The main stage forced a shutdown, the music stopped and dancers ran for cover leaving the field a barren wasteland. Undaunted by tragedy, the invincible Tony began plotting his next move, the storm would soon pass and he would be ready! Indeed as the sun finally peaked out and flooded the grass with warmth, what occurred next has become the fire of legend! Tony opened with magic and a never before heard style of super sunny boom, he coaxed the scattered flock back onto the field. They came from far and wide, they shook off the wet and the cold with the warmth of the master at work. A field of wet grass no more, smiles and the rhythm of warm feet pounded the ground, united in dance, not even caring as grass turned to mud and spirits lifted high, come rain or thunder, nothing could bring them down! Tony the hero? Tony the saviour? Rather just a humble master and his craft….and so it went something like this. Love always, The Drunken Monkey

Someone great and powerful once said - Music is the fuel of life! Indeed a wise man, and we wholeheartedly agree. Then theres the even more famous quote - If music be the fuel of love play on! Who said that? The Drunken Monkey of course. Be it life or love we all need fuel, and what's better than music to keep on rollin? Nothing is better and you know it! So fire up FUEL by the always fresh DJ Dramatik and let it fuel your fire, or your dance floor, or your life. Yes now it's that time, get up and dance you fool! Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

Night is falling...That beautiful time of magic as light fades and anticipation builds for the night ahead. What lies down the path, as the stars come out and the freakz come out to play? Who else is on the prowl? Meow meow....its going to be dark and delicious with beatz and treatz! So enjoy the journey you are about to listen too, thanks to the dark haired kitty of the DJ booth, miss Yo-Daddy. This one begins as twilight fades and then builds to a dark and underground peak that will leave you breathless, but wanting more! The dancefloor is now open! Meow Meow, The Drunken Monkey.

  Hello! Hope you enjoyed your summer! We’re back after a short break to resume the awesomeness that is Drunken Monkey. Launching us into the fall season is none other than the amazing and underground, DJ Lithium. As always the Vinyl master brings us rarities and treats to make you dance like its dark and dance like the epidemic of “EDM” just never happened! Live in the underground and let vinyl reign! Oh and one last thing, this set is dedicated to Cats all around the world. Save a cat, hug a cat and be a cat. That is all. Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

Like a ghost from the shadows, he’s back! Yes DJ Hans…the master, the divine one, the broken man. Having just toured the underground scene in Portugal, and Andalucia, his sudden appearance in the Mixed By Monkeys studio was again a godsend. Presenting us with a little one hour treat of deep and underground house recorded live in a grimy sweaty underground that shall stay nameless. Believe it or not, recorded on 100% vinyl records. It hold mysteries and magic of the dance floor both fresh like a newborn babe and old like the rhythmic drums of antiquity. Prepare to have your mind blasted…yet again, by the one and only DJ Hans. So Get Up! Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

Drunken Monkey is proud to present a new and wickedly talented guest in the mix! While she may be new to us, she is well known and has a growing career in Sydney, Australia. This is Qu-Zen, and she is about to take you on a journey into techno. It will be deep and driving, but hold elements both dark and light. Prepeare for a yin-yang experience with depth, thought, and a wisdom that is rarely seen in DJ's. This is the underground in its purest form. Just you try not to dance! So this is where in proper Drunken Monkey style we should make some kind of joke about kangaroos or Mad Max or something....but shazaaaaaam! Really how can we, this is just way too good! OK no more standing, lets dance. Love always, The Drunken Monkey.   Qu-Zen SoundCloud Qu-Zen Facebook

  He's back! mC Dirty returns to form with a straight up dance club stomper! Where has he been? Perhaps in rehabilitation, but not how you think! By definition, Rehabilitation can mean to "Restore the standing or reputation of" ....and so we now formally declare the official "Rehabilitation" of mC Dirty! Furthermore let it be know that henceforth said DJ shall be known only as "DIRTY". Hazaaahh! HazaaaH! Now is that time we all wait for, now is that time we come for....yes, now is that time that we dance!!! That is all. Why so serious, The Drunken Monkey.

In 1991 the strangest event in Dance music history occured. It was staged by the nonconformist and mysterious electronic pioneers known as the KLF. A highly exclusive concert was to take place on the summer solstice of 1991 on the Hebridean island of Jura. Only a small group of the worlds elite were invited. It was no ordinary concert, and the events of that night are now the story of a bizarre and mystical legend. DJ Hans, being at that time a man of mystery and interest himself, was invited. What follows is the true account of that strange ceremony, as told by the DJ Legend himself. Let the journey begin! Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

The Year 2000 " This my friends is science fiction..." Love always, The Drunken Monkey ;)

Interesting title! Strange monsters or greek mythology? Not. Actually it's a reference to the way in which this set was recorded by the mysterious and masterful DJ Lithium. No surprise the mix was recorded through another retro analogue mixer (like his last), this one the rare, Intimidation Blue mixer. Unique not only for it's pure and warm analogue circuitry, but also in that is runs a completely MONO signal. Yes pure vintage mono, as in one track, not stereo. Hence the title Cyclops meaning "ONE". You will find the mix warm and full, and with just a tad of mastering witchcraft to stereoize it a bit for your modern digital devices, it will have you dancing it up and wanting more! So enjoy and dance, close your eye and get lost in the beat! Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

Exclusive Mix in celebration of the all new drunkenmonkey.ca website! We're back again and drunk as always! While our direction and focus takes us now down a new path....let's take a moment to REFLECT also on where we have been. This mix, thought out and executed by the masterful Tony Morello, just for this occasion, heads out full blast on the new path , yet sprinkles the way with crumbs from the past. So cheers to where we've been but lets get going, the path lies ahead and the Monkey is already walking! You can either dance in his dust, or catch on up and dance beside him! Love always, The Drunken Monkey. "You can not travel the path until you have become the path itself" -Gautama Buddha www.drunkenmonkey.ca

“Artists can have greater access to reality; they can see patterns and details and connections that other people, distracted by the blur of life, might miss. Just sharing that truth can be a very powerful thing.” -        Jay-Z Once in a while and in the rarest of form and beauty, a DJ comes along that is more than what you expect. When a DJ set comes together in a way that it transcends being a collection of tracks recorded as a mix, and becomes a work of art, the DJ truly becomes an artist. This is rare. DJ’s come and DJ’s go, most never rise to be any more than just a technician following a set of rules, selecting their favorite tracks, counting bars and pushing buttons…nope that’s not art. So pay attention to this piece of real art recorded and mixed with heart and soul and truth by Heather Yo-Daddy. It is raw and emotional, it bleeds, it cries, it sings, it soars, and washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. This set is Heathers beating heart handed to you, so take care. Close your eyes and let it take you to a place that might surprise you.  Just go with it, it’s the journey that matters not the destination.  Love always, The Drunken Monkey.  “You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.” -        Friedrich Nietzsche

Counter Weight was recorded using the Intimidation Apex Gold, a simple but effective, fully analogue, DJ mixer featuring only two channels and rotary volume knobs in place of line faders, (totally old school)) a cross fader and triple EQ on each channel plus gain. Being a fully analogue mix right from the vinyl on Technics SL1200’s, through the mixer, and direct to the CDR, the result is unique and really quite amazing! Unlike most of today’s digital tracks recorded through digital mixers, the recording came out wonderfully full of dynamic range, volume, warmth and soul! Counter Weight is as untouched as it possibly can be from the digital technology that seems to be drowning us, perhaps as a reminder of what we have all lost over the last couple of decades. No post effects, mastering or sweetening have been applied to this mix and it has been encoded using the absolutely highest Mp3 resolution and bit rate possible. Counter Weight is just that - a heavy, meaningful mix, to balance out the noise and mindlessness from this new “digital” century. Baaaaaaaamm!!!! Only Monkey’s and Tigers can make the impossible possible! Living the analogue dream, The Drunken Monkey.

Back in Dramatik style! It's been a while since we've featured a set from the Man Of Many Faces, have you missed him? I know we have! Monkey's everywhere are screeching crazy over this wild romp through dancefloor house for your long hot summer! Straight No Chaser is a no nonsense straight up proper dancfloor filler! No chaser required as this one goes down smooth all the way. Also take note we have spotted the elusive, never at his post, Stormtrooper, TK-421! We caught a glimps of him flying down the freeway South of Los Angeles in a a hot white sports car in a real big hurry. He was doing about a buck 40 but we snapped a pic! His car thumped away ahead of us to the tunes of DJ Dramatik! Happy Summer everyone! Love always, The Drunken MonkEy.

The Original! Yes, finally the set you've all been waiting for, so enough with all the emails and strongly worded letters! We have presented Tony Morello's highly acclaimed Mirrorball series in backwards order, and have finally made it to the original and what critics and clubkids agree is the best! Mirrorball is a masterpiece of mixing precision with enough bump for your rump to keep you dancing uncontrollably. Now you know why Tony is the Big Smile DJ of the world! Dance floors are his life and when people dance and smile and have fun, Tony's smile expands like a Cheshire Cat! Looking forward to some amazing stuff from the Winnipeg Studio soon Tony, we know you won't disappoint! Laidies and Gentleman, Lemons of all ages, Please enjoy the original Mirrorball in all its glory! Bet you cant stand still! Love Always, The DruNken MonKey.

Originally released 7 years ago. Starship was the 7th release in the acclaimed Earl Von Bye Summer Annual series... Why a Turtle? Love always, The Drunken Monkey :P

Dancing Ninja Monkey's! Yes we have them in our army of monkey's and they are deadly! They fiercely defend the secret studio of our very own Tony Morello who works now in hiding somewhere in the west of Canada. He's been quietly recording and producing, and preparing for the moment he will strike and take on the dance muisc world with beats of fury!! Watch out for Tony, he may be the big smile DJ of the world, but DO NOT underestimate his power to make you dance! The dancing Ninja's are just the tip of the spear! Watch out world...the Monkey's draw near! Enjoy the mix but watch your back. Love always, The DrunKen Monkey.
