Podcast appearances and mentions of john rydell

dattrax: hElLo fElLoW hOuSe HeAdS from around the world! So excited for you to enjoy this mix. I hope that it puts a massive smile on your face.Did you have a good week so far? Are you struggling with challenges? Embarrassed about them? Ask your close network for help. Everything is available on Google Search and YouTube search to find solutions to your problems. Or, if you're not ready for that, the greatest escape for anything that makes you happy and gives you an escape for a few hours and mental rest from worry.I know that it's been tough lately. Hang in there. Focus your energy to positively and optimistically move forward. You're sad and feeling bad, it's okay to feel what you feel. You need the time to process, introspect, think about what part you had in your misfortune. Then decide to go fix your problems. You may have to think or take actions that are not natural to you. Time to reinvent yourself. You can do it!Don't worry about things that you can't control, because that's a TON of things and you don't want to needlessly burden yourself. Focus on what you can do to change your situation. It's not what happens to us that's important, it's how we react to it.In the cracks of time the last few months, I've been going through about 2,500 tracks in about 3-4 seconds each. You either feel it or you don't. The track either moves you or it doesn't. [Usually, that volume is done within a month, but I had to deal with tons of negative life crap in Feb].Then after I'm done going through all my fav DJ chart lists, house producers, singers, record labels, etc + the top 100 downloads in these categories: house, deep house, afro house, nu-disco, tech house, minimal house, jackin' house, progressive house, electronica, and classic house.By then I usually have about 130-150 tracks. Then I go through that digital crate on different days and the ones that don't move me anymore get removed.I bought 27 tracks in this batch and listened to them for an entire week. Some of my favs can each get up to 20plays each, so I really get to know each track and enjoy them. [Only 25 of the 27 made it into this mix].Then before the mix, I put them in folders like this so I'm not all over the place, yet have the freedom to bounce around. It's structured, but it's not too restrictive. This keeps it always FUN. If it's not fun, then why do it at all:Vocal - Mellow |Vocal - Medium |Vocal - Hype |Dubby - Mellow |Dubby - Medium |Dubby - Hype |Instrumental - Mellow |Instrumental - Medium |Instrumental - Hype |Covers/Remixes |Classic House Vocals |Classic House Dubby |Classic House Instruments |***"Dubby" are those tracks that have only repetitive vocal snippets or stabs, not a full vocal throughout the track.This took one attempt. I usually have to do 3-12 attempts before I get a mix that I love throughout because of all the mistakes.The biggest mistake was when I was mixing in a vocal track and mixing out the previous vocal. The vocal in the track coming in came in a long faster than I expected. Mixed vocals are terrible.I SHOULD'VE CHECKED in my monitor headphones. I always check in the headphones before I apply effects, delay, or flange because if I don't check, it'll sound like shet with most tracks. With the different delay effects, I like applying it between a mix as a new track is coming out or being mixed out and not on the single track playing like most DJs. It's more exciting through a mix.This batch had sooooo many amazing vocal house tracks!!!!! Their underlying instrumentals are wicked!!Love tracks that the music is so strong that if you stripped away the vocals, then you'd still have a killer house track.I usually mix classic house tracks made from 1985-2000 into my sets but this time, just wanted all the new tracks. Even replayed a fav new vocal at the end of the new stuff. LMAO!! This one » "Let It Go" (Maxxi Soundsystem Remix) Pandora Drive. It's better than the Disney Frozen version ; )"Classic house" is an extremely amusing category because it depends on which period of house music do you consider to be 'classic'?It depends on which were the formative years where you were getting involved with house music + the DJs that you listened to on multiple mediums and danced to live. What were their styles?I couldn't help myself though by keeping it purely the new tracks. I had to go into a 6 track classic house excursion. LMAO!!!!Made about 5 mistakes on this mix, but the groove that was built was really really amazing, the rest of the mixing was tight and these tracks... WOWZERS!! They were begging me to mix them!!! Enjoy and let us know if you like this mix and which parts you loved the most.---------------Image Explanation: This was a tiny but cool place called Nasa. It was located at 609 Queen West, circa 2005 in Downtown Toronto. It was owned by a famous Classic House DJ and part-owner of the famous Industry Niteclub, Matt C., and his best friend, Ben. They're still best friends today and in their own successful real estate business. Love stories of lifelong friendships.It was 17yrs ago, so I was 30, and my best friend and live DJ partner, Jim was 31. In the pic, we're spinning vinyl records at that time and had a blast the bunch of times we had the privilege to throw down there. So many cool friends and wonderful people we've had the pleasure to meet over the years. So many beautiful souls in this city that we love, Toronto. At that time, I was also managing a 24hr hotspot just south of Yonge & Bloor called 7West Cafe. We served about 600-800 people per night. It was so much fun!! Filled with amazing customers and staff + a ton of extreme levels of stress most nights. LMAO!!---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

In Free State Politics episode 8, public education takes center stage as John Rydell speaks to the president of the Teachers Association of Baltimore County. Cindy Sexton says the vast majority of students will finally return to in-person learning five days a week. But she adds there is currently not a vaccine mandate. “We hope that people get vaccinated. We know that's one of the ways to get on the other side of this pandemic,” said Sexton. The return to mask mandates continues to divide parents and students around the country. But Sexton says there will be a mask mandate in Baltimore County Public Schools. Rydell also examines the plight of a Baltimore County businessman who obtained a patent to streamline the process of refinancing mortgages only to have the Supreme Court declare his patent null and void. Larry Porter said, “I borrowed a half-million dollars to develop the technology.” He's since spent tens of thousands of dollars in a lengthy legal battle with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Porter adds that Congress also plans to examine the complex issue of patent laws. In his closing thoughts, Rydell reflects on the joyous return of the Maryland State Fair and county fairs after last year's shutdown due to COVID-19. This is a public episode.

In “Free State Politics” episode 7, John Rydell talks to a longtime political observer who examines the growing field of contenders in the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial race. Todd Eberly, associate professor of political science and coordinator of public policy studies at St. Mary's College of Maryland, says there are tiers in his list based on current or prior experience as public officials. He says the top Democratic contenders include Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot, former Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker and former Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler. Baker lost to Ben Jealous in the 2018 Democratic primary, and Gansler was defeated by Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown in the 2014 Democratic primary. But Eberly says several other contenders should be considered formidable candidates as well. They include former Labor Secretary Tom Perez, who also served as chair of the Democratic National Committee. “Folks like John King and Wes Moore have also done a really great job of raising money which will help get their name recognition higher,” said Eberly. Other Democratic contenders include Baltimore business owner Mike Rosenbaum and Ashwani Jain, 31, who worked in the Obama administration. Eberly says there also could be a spirited campaign in the Republican gubernatorial primary if former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele decides to enter the race. Steele, who served as lieutenant governor to Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., has announced that he will decide whether to enter the race between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Gov. Hogan's Commerce Secretary Kelly Schulz recently announced she plans to run for Governor.Rydell also talks to New York Times Congressional Reporter Luke Broadwater about the recent House Select Committee hearing on the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Broadwater was a political reporter at the Baltimore Sun for 10 years and won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the scandal which forced the resignation of Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh. Broadwater, who was inside the Capitol during the January 6 insurrection, describes the emotional testimony of four U.S. Capitol Police officers, who were attacked by the mob that day. Future hearings are scheduled this fall to learn more about those who invaded the Capitol and whether they were assisted beforehand by some members of Congress. Broadwater says, “I do think some members of Congress will be called on to testify. I know one line of inquiry will likely lead to the angry phone call between House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and President Trump as the riots unfolded.”  McCarthy apparently said Trump did not respond quickly to calling off the attack. Broadwater adds, “We do know from one of the rally organizers that three congressmen helped plan the rally with him that preceded the attack. Two of them have denied that, the third has not answered any questions about it, and so those three congressmen may be on the list of people who are called to testify to see how much they coordinated with rally-goers and whether or not there was any coordination with people who ended up being arrested for their actions on January 6.”In his segment titled “Moment of Clarity,” Rydell expresses concern about the recent spike in COVID cases in Maryland and across the country, which are prompting the reinstatement of mask mandates in public places. But Rydell adds that, despite that setback, those running for office in 2022 are already returning to in-person campaigning, which will be crucial to helping increase their name recognition among voters.

Free State Politics episode #5 examines a controversial rule change being considered by Maryland's Judiciary which could result in the release of thousands of inmates earlier than expected. The proposed change would impact inmates who have served at least 15 years or 60 percent of their sentence or be at least age 60 and have served at least 15 years of their sentence. Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger, who strongly opposes the rule change, says it would allow two men who spent many years on death row the chance to be released. Shellenberger says it would also inflict unnecessary pain on the families of crime victims, who were assured that offenders would spend most of their lives behind bars. But Brian Saccenti, director of the Decarceration Initiative with the Office of Maryland's Public Defender, says the rule change is just. Saccenti says “it will give a judge the opportunity to look at how that individual has changed, what they have done since they were first sentenced. Very often people, who are incarcerated for a considerable period of time, really do turn their lives around.”Free State Politics episode #5 also provides an update on the region's crab shortage this summer. John Rydell speaks to Dr. Allison Colden, a Maryland fisheries scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Colden says “The decline in the number of small juvenile blue crabs is what's really driving this year's numbers and what's really got us concerned about what's to come for the blue crab fishery and the blue crab population in the Chesapeake Bay.” Also in this podcast, John Rydell takes a look back at failed attempts to lift the ban on cameras in Maryland courts and a new decision by a federal appeals court which may give supporters of cameras in courts another opportunity to make their case.

Free State Politics podcast episode 4 examines the lingering struggles facing Maryland public schools as they attempt the transition back to in-person learning this fall. John Rydell speaks with State School Superintendent Dr. Karen Salmon about the challenges faced with suddenly shutting down schools and quickly pivoting to virtual and hybrid learning. Dr. Salmon had planned to retire last year but as the Covid crisis escalated, Governor Larry Hogan convinced her to stay on for another year. Salmon, who is retiring this summer, says, “We had never been forced to do this kind of instruction before. We kept thinking the science would change to get back to school, and unfortunately, that didn't happen. We ultimately had to make sure we had the health and safety of our students and our educators come first.” Rydell also speaks with Cheryl Bost, president of the Maryland State Education Association, to get her perspective on the tumultuous time for students and teachers over the past 16 months. When asked whether everything will be back to normal for the upcoming school year, Bost replied, “We really don't know what normal will be.” Bost says she is still worried about what she calls a growing achievement gap over the past year between students from low-income backgrounds and students from wealthier jurisdictions. Rydell also profiles a well-known perennial candidate who has run for virtually every office in Maryland and is now considering a run for Governor. This is a public episode.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! It was with great sadness as we saw facebook light up with 'Rest in Peace' shout outs to "Romanthony" (real name Anthony Moore, 1967 – May 2013). In Toronto we grew up with Romanthony records like his four-vinyl "Romanworld" compilation, and singles in that album and pre-dated that album like "Now You Want Me" (a Toronto anthem at 3am sat. ngt. warehouse sessions- one of our favourite instrumental house tracks). Other fav vinyls like "Testify", "Trojan Horse", "Bring U Up" and everyone's favorite "Let Me Show You Love".Time moves past us relentlessly and we have to be thankful and make the best of each day. Mr. Moore's music will influence many many house lovers, djs, producers & vocalists to come.The great thing about this house music we love is that it's built on the shoulders of giants.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! My best friend of over 20yrs and DJ partner (together we form 'dattrax') said that he read somewhere recently that music is perceived by humans in two very different ways. The first, is a reaction similar to, 'it's nice' and the second, the person feels it in their guts and it moves them!That's how I think house is like. When someone listens for the first time and most are like 'it's not my thing', or 'it's okay'. Then there are others like Jim and I and we're getting moved emotionally- goose bumps everywhere filled with anticipation and excitement and spine tingling joy.We're like: "What the @#**!!! is this and how can i get MORE???!!!!!" Like crack addicts when the first hi-hats and sick baselines enter our ears and into our minds and hearts.That's how we put together mixes, if we don't say 'WOW... that's a sweeeeeeeeeeeeet mix', then we DO NOT POST IT HERE. We don't lose our cookies when we hear a track, we don't buy it- it's that simple.So however you came to this site.

Award-winning journalist John Rydell interviews former Governor Robert Ehrlich on the state of the Republican party and the impact former President Donald Trump has had on the GOP – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Mr. Rydell also interviews Baltimore City Senator Jill Carter on police reform, the George Floyd case, and legislation that could shape the police department for years to come.

dattrax: It was with great sadness as we saw facebook light up with 'Rest in Peace' shout outs to "Romanthony" (real name Anthony Moore, 1967 – May 2013). In Toronto we grew up with Romanthony records like his four-vinyl "Romanworld" compilation, and singles in that album and pre-dated that album like "Now You Want Me" (a Toronto anthem at 3am sat. ngt. warehouse sessions- one of our favourite instrumental house tracks). Other fav vinyls like "Testify", "Trojan Horse", "Bring U Up" and everyone's favorite "Let Me Show You Love". Time moves past us relentlessly and we have to be thankful and make the best of each day. Mr. Moore's music will influence many many house lovers, djs, producers & vocalists to come. The great thing about this house music we love is that it's built on the shoulders of giants. The great house music you hear today was built on the sweat and love of house music 20+ yrs ago. Every track we heard, every DJ we danced to, every mix we felt contributed memories, mind space and reenforces our passion for house.
