https://www.mixcloud.com/horatioofficial/horatio-preents-ibizaholic-radioshow-episode-52-special-guest-mix-oscar-g/ Save the best for last. I have the honour and privilege to have as guest star in my radioshow the LEGENDARY DJ AND PRODUCER , MR"DARK BEATS" himself, OSCAR G . If you were to get out a map and track the history of house music – with endless lines sprouting from New York, Chicago and Detroit to points all over the world – you'd have to make a big, red circle around Miami, Florida, and start drawing. Miami was never ground zero to a full-fledged subcultural movement. But it is where Oscar Gaetan, better known as Oscar G, has lived every day of his life. And that fact alone makes it a hub on the global underground. An award-winning songwriter, producer, and DJ, Oscar is one of dance music's brightest and most enduring stars. As part of seminal production teams Liberty City, Murk, and Funky Green Dogs, he boasts hits – Billboard chart-toppers as well as underground smashes – in every decade, every trend, and every market. “Some Lovin',” “Fired Up,” and “Dark Beat” are more than just tracks: They are moments, shared by clubbers worldwide. They're the kind of moments Oscar still creates at Space Miami, his hometown superclub, where he's been a resident DJ for a staggering eight years – coming full circle after a globetrotting career. Oscar and longtime friend and production partner Ralph Falcon grew up in a Miami enlivened by the fresh spirit of hip-hop. “Break dancing, graffiti and the music that went along with it: That's really what got me into DJ-ing in the first place,” he says. By the age of 12, he was already spinning at school dances. Oscar and Ralph started working together at the end of high school, blending the sounds of their youth with the beginnings of house, like Ten City and Blaze; and the darker Euro bands of the time, like Depeche Mode and New Order. “We were always big on doing our own sound, with our own feeling and vibe in every aspect of it; from the way we mixed things to the sounds we chose,” says Oscar. “I remember being obsessed with that for years, and then people started to listen.” The early years bore some of the work for which they're still best known, like often imitated, never duplicated vocals “Some Lovin',” “If You Really Love Someone,” and “Reach For Me” (Tribal). Upon their release in 1993, the pair became instant superstars. “Europe kind of grabbed us,” says Oscar, so they spent a good amount of time touring overseas, eventually visiting every major and minor outpost of the global dance scene, including Zouk Singapore, Ministry Of Sound London, and Stereo Montreal. “Fired Up!” (Twisted), their biggest hit ever, followed in 1996. It topped the Billboard Dance chart, and even cracked the Top 100, peaking at No. 80. They would go on to remix countless major pop artists, from Madonna to Cher to Donna Summer; and appear on mainstream outlets like MTV and Top Of The Pops. The boys also cut two complete Funky Green Dogs albums for major label MCA, “Star” (1999) and “Super California” (2001). But their own measures of success were still decidedly underground: “Once Junior Vasquez played our records at Sound Factory [in New York], we felt like we could retire, and at that point we were like 20,” says Oscar. In March 2000, Space opened in downtown Miami with Oscar as the Saturday night resident, just as the world was paying its annual visit for Winter Music Conference. The club – with its cavernous main room, pummeling German sound system and nitrogen blasts – was the talk of dance world, and the legend of Oscar's residency began to grow. The year 2003 was a big one. Oscar released the “Live @ Space” (Star 69) compilation, and won the Club World Award for “Best Resident DJ” (which he won again in 2007). Murk set a new Billboard Dance chart record, with five No. 1's in a single year: Four singles from their self-titled artist album on Tommy Boy Records, and “Dark Beat” (Twisted), tribal house's first real vocal anthem, which found its way from dance floors onto mainstream radio. “We came up with ‘Dark Beat' in about 15 minutes. Whenever things come that quickly, you know there's something to them,” says Oscar. “But we didn't think radio or anthem; we were thinking more like, ‘Oh man, Danny Tenaglia's gonna be all over this!'” In 2006, Oscar became one of Pacha New York's only non-NY-based monthly residents, strengthening his bond with his home-away-from-home, and its rich dance history. He released a second installment in the Space series in 2007, starting new relationships with Nervous Records in the U.S. and CR2 in the U.K. CR2 also snapped up the Murk catalog, and commissioned new remixes of the classic tracks, including Paul Woolford's takes on “If You Really Love Someone” and “Reach For Me.” And in 2008, after nearly two decades making music, Oscar released out his first solo album, “Innov8” (Nervous). Last year Oscar released a mixed CD “Beats” on Nervous Records and working with his Murk partner Ralph Falcon produced one of the undergrounds anthem of 2012 – Amame – which was released worldwide on Defected. He and Ralph also re-activated the seminal label Murk Records. Even though his passion for music creation is undeniable, it's in his DJ booth where Oscar feels most at home. “On the music side, I've felt pretty energized lately, because the changes in the industry really enable you to be a lot more experimental and take more chances,” he says. “But DJ-ing to me always comes first: I really believe in it as an art form. Having a residency like Space, with a regular crowd, it's the ultimate.”

“The Parents” premiered on April 2nd, 2013, so Happy belated April Fools? It was written by Jordon Nardino, and directed by Tricia Brock, both new to the Smash family. The viewership fell again this week, this time by 70,000 viewers, for a total of 2.98 million. We had only three featured songs this week, but they were all originals! From Hit List, we had Katharine McPhee’s rendition of “Broadway Here I Come,” and another Andrew McMahon original entitled, “Reach For Me” sung (and swung) by Krysta Rodriguez. From Bombshell, Marc Shaiman and Scott Whitman delivered the mother-and-daughter duet called “Hang the Moon” performed by Megan Hilty and Bernadette Peters. The role of Marilyn’s mother, Gladys, has finally been cast and rather than going with Patti LuPone, Eileen and Tom have gone with someone a little closer to home: Ivy’s mother: The Broadway star Leigh Conroy is stepping out of retirement to play the role only she could play! Ivy can only feign excitement about the casting, as her relationship with Leigh is filled with competition.  Karen’s Dad is also in town on business, but it means that he can stop by Hit List rehearsal and attend the theatre’s gala that evening. Since the gala is Hit List’s introduction to the board members and theatre patrons, Scott Nichols wants to add the Diva’s number to the gala performance. In rehearsal, Ivy and Leigh are dealing with the tension by being nice to each other. Too nice, in fact, that they aren’t playing any of the stakes in the book scenes. That is, until they begin to tell disparaging stories about each other in front of the entire company. But in performing a heartfelt ballad called “Hang the Moon,” both pairs of Gladys and Marilyn, as well as Leigh and Ivy seem to feel empathy for one another. The song makes Mailyn, Ivy and Julia all cry. At the Manhattan Theatre Workshop’s gala, Karen’s rendition of “Broadway, Here I Come” goes well, but it’s Ana’s gravity-defying performance of “Reach For Me” on silks that brings the house down. And when the Arts Editor of the New York Times commends Ana’s performance, Scott Nichols wants to make the character bigger. And who does he ask to help work as dramaturg to make it happen but Bombshell writer Julia! And while Karen’s dad isn’t initially behind her leaving Bombshell, after her gala performance he can see why she would both make the jump to Hit List and be interested in Jimmy. But Jimmy is having his own problems, including stealing from the gala’s coat check to pay off a drug dealer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Доброго времени суток, дорогие друзья! Вы слушатете радиошоу MAXIMUM на волнах радио Musical Decadence.Сегодня, в продолжени юбилейного эпизода, я хочу поиграть музыки, на базе которой мой проект формировался в далеком 2008 году. Отбрасываем в сторону современные тенденции прогрессив звучания и слушаем музыку, которая, как я полагаю, возраста не имеет.Эфир выдержан в лучших традициях MAXIMUM - динамичный хаус с уклоном в прогрессив - Maximum House, как я его люблю называть.Хочу всем напомнить, что мои последние миксы, новости, компиляции и радиошоу можно найти на официальном веб-сайте проекта MAXIMUM - promodj.com/dreamerНе забывайте также подписываться на мой подкаст Dreamer в iTunes, это очень удобно.itunes.apple.com/ru/podcast/dr…bit.ly/1GmefEtПроект "MAXIMUM" - новые веяния, тенденции, тренды современной клубной сцены и электронной танцевальной музыки. "MAXIMUM" - максимальное удовольствие!Открывает эфир итальянка Musetta своим вокальным треком Peace & Melody в прекрасном ремиксе музыканта из Нидерландов Bart Van Wissen. Ремикс был выпущен на одноименном лейбле продюсера Гленна Моррисона в 2007 году.Популярный лейбл Proton у меня сегодня представлен шикарнейшей пластинкой от Артура Дипа под названием Pine Square. Очень напористый трек с характером, который никого не оставит равнодушным, заставив при этом переслушивать себя снова и снова.В свое время в первых строчках top downloads часто встречался имя канадского продюсера Deadmau5. Молодой музыкант, заручившись поддержкой мировых топовых диджеев взял тогда отличный старт. Тогдашние релизы на собственном лейбле Mau5trap явное тому подтверждение. Мало того, Дэдмаус у меня сегодня представлен сразу двумя пластинками. We Fail - несомненно хит 2007 года, его отличный бас, с каждым квадратом продвигаясь вперед, гипнотизирует слушателя, удерживая его на танцполе до финальных аккордов.Прогрессивнейший Outta My Life, записанный совместно с американским вокалистом Billy Newton-Davis и вовсе заставит сердцебиение ускорится - это несомненный хит 2008 года.Британский хаус-продюсер Matt Samuels сделал в свое время потрясный ремикс на трек Firework от Sucker DJ's feat. Tiger Lily. Получился отличный progressive с фирменным британским отпечатком того времени. Релиз состоялся в 2006 году на легендарном Toolroom Records.Коллаборация Soul Flava и вокалиста Corey Andrew вылилась в несомненный шлягер 2007 года под названием Music Will Make Everything Alright, распевы которого радуют ушы на протяжении всей работы. Мегапозитивный ремикс с плотным басом и драйвовой атмосферой сделал германский продюсер Eddie Thoneick.Уважаемый мною Jerome Isma-Ae выпустил в свое время у себя на Jee Productions атмосферный боевик под названием 308. Данный хит безусловно обречен на успех на любой танцплощадке, так как фирменный бас Джерома и потрясное провисание в начале трека потянут на танцпол даже самого ленивого в клубе.Совместная коллаборация проектов Murk и Funky Green Dogs подарила миру хитовую пластинку Reach For Me, которая в свое время занимала лидирующие строчки во всех чартах. У себя в радиошоу я хочу представить ремикс на Reach For Me от мэтров нового поколения TV Rock и Dirty South в их фирменном исполнении, где вопросов к продакшену не возникает никаких.На финишной прямой у меня британский музыкант Kid Dub с динамичным треком Diamond Sea, вышедшим в 2009 году на австралийском импринте Vacation Records. Здесь мне очень нравится динамика и энергетика, которая стопроцентно будет держать в тонусе весь танцпол.В регулярной рубрике Bonus Track у меня мои любимые канадцы Шило/Шайло (Shiloh). Звездный дуэт братьев Colin и Justin Moreh выпустил в 2007 году на Rococo Records, который является саблейблом легендарного Baroque пластинку Vista Cruz с двумя версиями трека. Я выбрал дабовую версию, за ее фантастический грув, крутейшую, напористую бас-линию и великолепные пады. Vista Cruz несет в себе все лучшее от прогрессив-хаус звучания середины нулевых. Звездные ребята, звездная пластинка с изумительным звучанием - здесь есть все качества для того, чтобы покорить сердца моего слушателя.Желаю всем приятного прослушивания и до новой порции МАКСИМУМА!

Here’s bunch of tunes I purchased on Beatport and then mixed immediately last night.A friend, Eva, sent me a clip of Funky Green Dogs’ classic ‘Reach For Me’ via WhatsApp. I went to play it only realised I didn’t have it... So, off to Beatport, where, of course, I was distracted by new releases too.Part two of the story is much more mundane. We were supposed to be hosting a Christmas party for 70 people last night but had to cancel the day before because I did my back in. Typical. Stuck at home feeling grouchy, Eva’s intervention and a little music shopping inspired me to reach for the headphones.This session is the result, mixed live in one take, with ‘Reach For Me’ at the heart of it. I only made one small edit to shorten Rhythm Masters’ take on ‘Been A Long Time’ - their version being a bit too dark compared to the other grooves on offer here. Everything else is disco and funky house with a few remixes of familiar faves thrown in the shopping bag for good measure. Enjoy!Jefferson Jam - Azourious House & Disco 1 Anabel Englund - London Headache (Purple Disco Machine Remix)2 Will The Funkboss - Tomorrow's Music (Original Mix)3 Loose Change - Straight From The Heart (Joey Negro Straight To The Groove Mix)4 Dino Lenny, Doorly - The Magic Room (Luke Solomon's 'Live Forever' Remix)5 Oliver Dollar - Go Down (Original Mix)6 MD X-Spress, Simion - God Made Me Feel It (Claptone Edit)7 Mighty Dub Katz - Just Another Groove (Boris Dlugosch Remix)8 Funky Green Dogs From Outer Space - Reach For Me (Long Ass Mix)9 Timmy P - How's Music (Original Mix)10 Groove Motion - Try It (Original Mix)11 Rhyze - Just How Sweet Is Your Love (Walker & Royce Touch)12 The Fog - Been A Long Time (Rhythm Masters Main Mix)13 Moloko - Sing It Back (Mousse T.'s Feel Love Mix)Mixed live 3rd Dec 2016, Chaptered + minor edit on The Fog 4th Dec 2016 171.8 MB | AAC | 320 kbps | 1'14'49The track list also appears in the ‘Lyrics’ tab of the track info.Use the iTunes ‘Chapters’ menu to jump between tracks in the mix.I don’t know anything about the ‘Jefferson’ brand of cassette tapes. The basic design makes me think they’re at the discount end of the audio spectrum, but the retro font and 70s vibe seems fitting for this session.

Offering up a fresh and exhilarating vibe with his full length debut Nothing Between Us, trumpeter and composer Sam Hankins draws on a powerhouse resume as a music educator and R&B/jazz sideman that includes multiple awards as a middle school bandleader and performances with numerous legendary artists, including Al Jarreau, Clark Terry, The O'Jays, The Temptations, The Dells, The Impressions, Aretha Franklin and the Glenn Miller Big Band.Armed with an impressive array of degrees and multi-faceted musical credentials, the multi talented Oklahoma born and raised, Chicago based musician is widely recognized in educational circles for his tenure as Band Director at Edison Middle School, where he led numerous ensembles from 1995 through 2006. Hankins led a struggling band program with limited participation into one of the premier middle school instrumental music programs in the United States. During his first year as Band Director, he led two bands to place first in division ratings in the State Music Competitions. The program subsequently earned extensive recognition as one of the premier middle school band programs in Illinois and nationwide by winning numerous Division I ratings, State and National awards and recognitions.During this time, Hankins was invited to be a Guest Conductor for Jazz and Concert bands as well as a guest soloist. He also founded, organized and directed The East Central Illinois Jazz Institute, a summer jazz camp of approximately 20 students from throughout east-central Illinois. In 1998, he received The White House Letter recognizing the Edison Middle School Band Program signed by Hillary Rodham Clinton.A prolific composer, Hankins had composed over 150 pieces before he took his wife's advice and began pursuing the next phase of his diverse career, as a solo recording artist. He laid the groundwork for Nothing Between Us by releasing Dream Catcher, a compilation of his catalog of music in every genre from smooth jazz and dance to techno. Building up a supportive network of fans via social media, he blended old school R&B/funk with cutting edge grooves, dynamic melodies and wild brass sizzle on the new project, which is produced by bassist Paul Richmond and features Zorn McGuire on drums. Hankins has already received airplay on numerous internet outlets, including the GHP Radio Network and LUTG Radio.“From my many years of working with different producers and in various studios, I've learned what people like to listen to, and generally they love music that keeps things simple,” says Hankins. “I certainly had a lot of material that was artsy and complicated but for my first urban jazz project, my goal was to create tracks that people can enjoy that I personally felt good about. I admire popular contemporary trumpet players like Chris Botti and Rick Braun, but I take a different approach with my horn that makes my vibe unique to the genre. As a composer, I always want to write songs that uplift people's spirits and make them happy, or get them thinking about things. Because it mixes R&B and jazz, Nothing Between Us really gets me back to my roots as a musician.”Hankins has enjoyed a long history of doing gigs with many legendary jazz and R&B artists—from Al Jarreau to Aretha Franklin and Clark Terry. Over the years, while maintaining an active educational career, he has played with funk bands, circus bands, cruise ship ensembles and different “combos”. He is currently putting things together for more solo live performances and has numerous skillful musicians that he has previously worked with on eager standby.ABOUT THE MUSICHankins draws urban jazz fans into the pocket from the get go, playing a lighthearted trumpet melody over an infectious funk groove and soaring symphonic old school R&B textures on the opening title track. His dreamy and soulful melody on “We Come Together” is backed by cool ambience and easy rolling percussion; the tune features a hypnotic horn hook and tradeoff sections between the trumpet and saxophone. Hankins' Earth, Wind & Fire influence is front and center on the high energy “See Me”, who's bright brassy horns accent and provide a dynamic foundation for a playful lead trumpet melody all over a cutting edge funk groove. The trumpeter chills out and takes the tempo down a few notches on the sweet and romantic “I Can Be”, a vocal ballad sung by his brother Marcellus Hankins. The groove kicks back up only slightly on the sensual, light funk driven “Soft Touch,” whose 70s styled soul textures give way to a more 80s styled synth jam energy on the bass driven “Reach For Me”; the track features a playful interaction between Hankins' dancing trumpet melody and the synthesized grooves. He ventures into brassy gospel territory (complete with textured vocals) on the jangling funk explosion “Give It A Try” before moving into more hypnotic, lyrical territory on the easygoing, crunch groove driven “Where Am I.” Some infectious wah-wah guitar and old school synth bounce adds flavor to the horn-splashed funk of “You Should Have”. Hankins moves from old school to contemporary hip-hop on the final track “Get Back Step Back”, whose dramatic orchestral intro gives way to bouncy hip-hop with street signs and a spirited anthem-like rap.FROM THE BEGINNINGSamuel Hankins had the great fortune to be born into a musical family that would help cultivate his own talent and ambitions. His maternal grandmother played the piano and sang gospel. His father played harmonica and vocals in various R&B bands, and his brother Marcellus (who performs on Nothing Between Us) plays the piano, majored in voice and teaches elementary school music. Encouraged by his father, Samuel Hankins Sr., young “Hank”” began with the guitar, then switched to his trademark trumpet in middle school and began playing in churches, professional bands and orchestras.After earning his Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, Hankins joined the Air Force Jazz Band, The Pacesetters, stationed at Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois. He remained with the Pacesetters as a trumpeter until the Air Force Base closed in 1991. Sam then returned to school, earning both a second Bachelors Degree and a Masters Degree in Music Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.Hankins left Edison Middle School after 11 years in 2006 to pursue an international teaching career in the country of Bermuda. He then returned to the U.S. in 2008 to teach at McKay High School in Salem, Oregon, again leading their Jazz Band & Marching Band to place within the top three in state competitions. In 2010, the trumpeter returned to Chicago, where he was hired as Band Director at Christ Our Savior Catholic School in a temporary position; when this band program was terminated due to a lack of funding, Hankins began concentrating on pursuing his passion for arranging and composing, which ultimately led to the recording of Nothing Between Us. He recently accepted a position as Band Director at Crete-Monee Middle School in Chicago and is looking forward to working with band students again while pursuing his solo career.
