dattrax: HiYa FeLlOw HoUsE fReAkS!! Welcome and thank you for stopping by for a listen or download. Ready for a three-hour journey? This is a beaut!! I make the mixes, but Jim and I DJ together live. He's my best friend, DJ partner, past business partner and both loved house music since we were in our teens. Still love it today!!I've been into house since I was 15yrs old (started buying vinyl records at 19) and approaching 48 this month (That's 33yrs!! and 29yrs as a DJ). I love house music. I love finding good house music from the sea of variety of Beatport and Traxsource. Love mixing house tracks. Love the art of it. Love the tactile feel of mixing. Love the physical transfer of energy into a session, both negative and positive pent-up emotions.  I love listening to other DJ's versions of house and their expression of their emotions through their execution. Love dancing to house and experiencing the massive differences in live DJ performances, live streams, and mixed sessions. I love the variety and massive production with anyone that has an idea for a track. I love that if you haven't heard a track before and liked it, it doesn't matter how old it is, who made it, or where it was produced. It's just something that you identify with. Connect with. It moves you. It makes you feel great. You smile. You move. You dance. You escape from your life. It's both renewing and refreshing.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

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.

dattrax: Hiya Fellow hOuSe FiEnDs!! Welcome new and returning house fanatics!!With this mix, I wanted to make it a bit more banging. Aggressive and more funky house tracks. Still layered with sweet vocals, but probably fun for you during a workout. Definitely not like our usual mellow mixes.How is 2022 starting out for you? I can't believe it's March already. The worse of our frozen north weather should be done in Toronto, Ontario, Canada! It looks like our government is going to relax a bit with all the virus restrictions stuff. They've decided to eliminate the dreaded vaccine passports, so that's great. People who chose to get vaxxed or not can go to restaurants, bars, lounges, clubs, etc without the vaccine passport IDS. No more separating and making people feel outcast or lesser. Hopefully, they do away with the masks soon too. [The CDC came out with a report over a month ago showing that masks aren't effective and if we're not wearing the top grade masks, then our cloth ones with cute and fancy designs aren't going to protect us].Didn't want to rant about that, so I'm sorry. This virus thing has stolen from all of us the past two years and I'm so happy to see that this might finally end, well the worst of it. It'll just be a regular thing from now on.We hope that things are getting back to the new normal in your corner of the earth. So much craziness in the world. Just worry about you! Turn off the news, don't even read the headlines! Get rid of people in your life that are negative and drain you of your energy. You know who they are.You're the #1 priority. Keep safe, be happy, be healthy and work hard for your dreams!! If you get yourself healthy and be the best that you can be, then people around you and those you interact with whom you will naturally benefit from your goodness.Escape with us with this two-hour mixed with love.

dattrax: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO Fellow House Lovers from around the world!! House music is such a connecting force huh? Been working on 4 mixes in the last few months and this one actually only took 1 attempt.I really hope that you enjoy it and makes you smile. It's quite a journey... 3hrs long. I loved making it. Been through a ton of struggles lately and mixing loud house music relaxes me. It allows me to express my negative energies into a mix while hoping that choosing tracks that make me happy can mix with that energy. The result I hope is something beautiful and not thrown away. I mean that you can listen more than once and still enjoy it and hey, who knows? Maybe hear or appreciate another part of it.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

dattrax: Hiya Fellow House Fiends around the world!! Welcome new listeners and to those returning! We're extremely thankful for all of you!! As always we hope that you've been well in your life full of personal triumphs and defeats. Life is full of struggles with some that are unavoidable. We can't change what happens to us sometimes, but we can choose to view each situation with objectivity, and react graciously and move forward optimistically. Perhaps it's time to reinvent ourselves, make a contrarian choice, go down a different path, or attempt a new endeavour.House music can help you escape and take you to your happy place. We're here to hopefully put a massive smile on your face. This mix took six attempts to finally get the right feel for the next two hours and thirty-seven minutes. Been working on about four separate mixes, each taking multiple attempts. We hope that you enjoy this one, soak it in as you live your life.Here are some of my favourite fortune cookies from the Asian Underground. *My DJ partner when we spin live is Jim and he's Cypriot/Greek, but since I'm making the mixes, writing these show notes and our quotes that help me ; )These quotes have helped me when things happen that rock my world and I feel like someone is physically kicking my teeth in. I hope that it can bring you some comfort and inspire you to climb out of your dark place as well.“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”― Napoleon Hill"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." — Winston S. Churchill“Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” — Mark Twain“When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to happiness that you can give out.”— Eleanor Roosevelt---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  I don't know anyone w/ a tiny sliver of musical taste in their bones who doesn't like Sade.  Beyond beautiful and what a songstress! The only singer who doesn't need a crew of backup dancers to mesmerize a crowd. She just sways and sings. Style. Her CD albums and live concert videos are WORTH EVERY PENNY. I have all her CDs, house mixes and just need her live DVDs (have some live VHS tapes).I first listened to 'Diamond Life' album when I was 15 w/ my first walkman (you'll have to Google that to find out that it's a portable cassette player, then you have to Google to find out what that means).This mix is a tribute to her in the only way we know-how- by putting most of our favourite Sade House Bootleg tracks into a single mix. Enjoy and please comment if you have something positive to add.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  Hello from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Fellow House Fiends Everywhere!! This virus lockdown BS madness has not ended after almost two years. Of course not! When power and money are involved, well, you know how this story ends. Always follow the money and that's what the story really is about because it's not about public health and safety. Yours or mine.Enough of my rant. It is what it is. This is our new reality. Geez. Jabbed or not, let's not judge or treat each other badly, we all have our reasons for choosing either. Let's respect that as we're all different, with different lives, concerns, kids or no kids, constraints, jobs, temperaments, desired outcomes, etc.We (Jim and I have been best friends & DJ partners when we spin live for over 30yrs!!) hope that you're doing what you can to make sure that you're doing well. "Your happiness is paramount". As the great comedian and philosopher, Patrice O'Neal has preached many times in his life. RIP.If you are not well, then it'll affect those around you that need you. It trickles down from you to your family and friends, your co-workers, your company, the communities that you belong to, online and offline.One day at a time. One problem at a time. Just do what you can handle and control and don't worry about the rest. It's the worrying that slowly kills us.We hope that Danny Tenaglia doesn't get mad that his famous, "Music is the Answer" classic house anthem's name has been taken, tweaked, and is now the name of this mix. LMAO!!The first track is a vinyl that I bought in 1998, and then a digital copy from Traxsource a year or so again.It'll set the right tone for you. The first track of a mix or of a live set is my favourite first part because it's the first contact with the dancers or your listeners.Sadly and frustratingly, this mix took 12 attempts, yes, LMAO. I had originally bought a batch from Traxsource of 24 hawt tracks. That took a month to listen to 2,000 tracks at 2-5 seconds each, then I had 120 tracks in my digital crate, then it took two weeks in the cracks of time between work and life to dwindle that down to 24, then I had to wait a week to get the 30% email promo from Traxsource. It's a journey.Then spent hours finding what I felt would be fun mixed with these new tracks. Mixed a few sets, didn't like the blends, deleted them. Then picked a new first track and went a few directions, listened, and wasn't feeling it. Changed the first track again. Now we're at mix number five! Every time you choose a different opening track, you change the vibe, so this went on until mix nine. I usually don't change directions so much but the process of making a mix that I love sort of reflects either the stability or chaos in my life at the time.Then I was, "Eureka!!" This is the feeling that I wanted, but what TF happened? Of the 24 tracks that I bought, now there are only 6 on this mix. Geez. It is what it is. Then I had a DJ talent problem, the mixes had parts where I brought in the wrong tracks or I train wrecked mixes. So the last three attempts were trying to refine what I finally LOVED! Then on the final run, I realised after listening to the completed mix three times, "HORY SHET!!!" (In a thick Chinese accent. I don't have one, just like to use it from time to time). I forgot one of the 6 new vocal house tracks. No problem. I did two runs on the next mix and have decided to put that beautiful work of art as the bookend, the last track of the next mix that I'm working on.As always, tracks are chosen and mixed with love. Pouring all the negative and positive energy into it, so hopefully, it at least brings a smile into your life. Enjoy Fellow HouseHeadz!! Until next time.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  To keep the crowd & staff happy and interested we had to almost completely play all vocals. Imagine DJing for 3-6hrs (depending how busy it was)and changing songs every 3mins (we have house-ADD where we compulsively cannot play tracks for a long time)! I guess that I probably wouldn't want banging house in a non club environment but... No, sure we would! We get into different moods when it comes to spinning types of house music, but usually mix it up- that's our sound. We broke our personal DJ technique rule of "never mix a vocal into a vocal". This mix is the feel of those nights there. Besides the equipment & creative limit drawbacks- It was a lot of fun because THE STAFF AND CROWD WERE GREAT every week! We had tons of people who you wouldn't think like house go crazy. The last track ("Trouble is a Friend" by Lenka) on this mix was probably requested every week of the 5mths we were there. Probably make a few more mixes like this one to get those new tracks we got recorded in mixes- love that!We respect any DJ who has any longterm residency. It takes a ton of new music and a lot of stamina to keep the crowd (& especially yourself) motivated and having fun in the exact same environment every week. We had to buy 20 new tracks a week to keep from not getting bored. We accumulated over 400 new tracks in that stint. Love to put the majority of these in a bunch of mixes, but the real bill paying job comes before the hobby, so it might take a while. This is the second mix recorded from that batch of music w/ the exception of a few tracks (and Mainstay, MixOne being the first of course).---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  Little Louie Vega is incredible if you've seen him live. This guy mixes like the songs were produced together, not like separate tracks. He DJs like a musician- can't even describe it, you have to experience him. I always wonder what it's like to know how house music tracks are made from conception to post production, and then spin them? Jim and I just know what house tracks we love, but we know nothing about music, composition, etc. We just like what we like and hope that some people like it too. I'd hate if a musician listened to us.This is one of my favourite of Mr. Vegas' authorized mixes. Full of energy and beautiful house music. Relentless, track after track. I can't tell you how many records the duo of Little Louie Vega and his partner Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez, Masters At Work (M.A.W.) that Jim and I own and own doubles of. There was a time when we were partying, that almost everything good was made by these guys. I bet there are more MAW records in house DJs' collections than any other producers.Roger Sanchez. That name just gets a period. Definitive. I've been to probably four parties in Toronto where he was headlining- never a disappointment. I kicked myself the last few times he was in Toronto and I missed him. Smooth as butter and his passion shows through his performance. He loves it! Three decks- seamless- TIGHT (there's a picture of him in the DJ Dictionary if there is one). No computer w/ beatlock – a DJ's DJ. I'm so happy that when I catch him on YouTube and stuff he's playing w/ cds. Nothing like old & new tech together. He's always having a blast w/ the crowd. Not the stone face DJ, seen one of those lately? Don't love what you do? Go do something else Man!The greats always make it look easy and fun. Then the masses go out and spend tons of money and realize that ‘hey, this is hard'.The title of these two mixes comes from the chorus of an Everything But The Girl cover by Nicola on this mixed cd, “Missing”. I just loved that line, “Like the desert missed the rain”. I almost spelled it ‘dessert' by accident at first.Chuck Love's mixed cd was such an exciting gem of a purchase! His tracks have a older, familiar feel, but such a bumpy energy that charges forward. Very organic sounds and instruments, but has such a fresh edge to them. Joy. He is new to us, but will be looking for him. Can't tell you how much I love his music.Loved the track “Shy” from the Matthew Dear CD. We have a few of his tracks on vinyl. Techy, w/ awesome alternative rock sounding vocals.We hope that you enjoy these two mixes as much as we love sharing them!---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  Went into an HMV at Bloor & Yonge in Downtown Toronto a while ago for some mixed house cd listening. I needed a house music fix badly. Stayed for hours listening to at least 40 "electronica" cds. They hated me there because the staff have to reseal the ones that you don't buy. CDs are expensive, you have to love what you spend your hard earned dollars on. Bought these five for about $130 w/ taxes:"In The House: Little Louie Vega" mixed by Little Louie Vega. I lent this double mixed cd to a good friend (another DJ) a few weeks after buying it, and haven't seen it since. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! I hope you feel guilty. It's fine, we'll still be friends, just give it back please…"Asa Breed" by Matthew Dear. Great techy tracks."Release Yourself" mixed by Roger Sanchez. The “S” Man, NUFF SAID!"Bring Enough To Spill Some” mixed by Chuck Love. WOW! This guy's music is CRAZY!“F*** Me I'm Famous!” mixed David Guetta Not bad, like some tracks.Listened to these for about a week, then marked all the tracks that I loved, the levels, when the vocals started, and made these two mixes. Took a few takes. I never put this much preparation into a mix, because usually just like to have fun and if it sucks, then toss it. Usually one out of 10, I keep. Hey... baseball players are making millions at 3 out of 10. One out of 10 isn't too bad, I guess. Also,because the tracks were from these authorized mixed cds that have been mastered professionally w/ top dollar, these two mixes by default sound amazing.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  This mix starts w/ Lisa Shaw's beautiful vocals on a track called "Someday". I don't know how many vocal tracks she has done since her Naked Music days, but we can't get enough of her (we probably own a dozen at least). 2nd track is "Battery Man" by Fish Go Deep. These guys just keep banging out amazing house vocal tracks! Love their work. At 12mins, one of our top three favourite Charles Webster tracks, Presence featuring Shara Nelson singing "Sense of Danger". Shara Nelson gives us goosebumps on this track. This is followed by another deep and soulful Fish Go Deep, "Weapons of Choice". This sort of sets the tone of the mix. This is mix for people who love house vocals back to back. There's probably only 5 instrumentals in this 70min. mix.We had this fri & sat night gig for about 5mths at this fancy smancy restaurant/bar/patio (we couldn't afford to eat there even at a discount! Ever had a $10beer/$12mix drink/up to $30 martini and feel good about it afterwards?) located in the heart of downtown Toronto. It was sort of restrictive in that the DJ equipment was not fun to play on, two pioneer 200 cd turntables w/ no spinning platter, a pioneer 400 mixer and tiny bookshelf speaker for a monitor that farted bass when you blast it. And we have to blast it because I am sort of deaf in my left/DJ ear.BTW.. this is my youngest baby, Caleb. Isn't he cute? Don't worry, he's not really DJing. Don't want him leaving the house at any age, let alone come home late. But that's a non-house related topic for some other Blog in the future.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  This mix begins with an amazing track by Leo produced in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Can't wait to meet him one day.  I met the vocalist once at a Dennis Ferrer party.  She is a beautiful girl from Chili or Argentina, I'm not too sure which.  She's going to be so upset that I forgot, it's my DJ pal's X-girl.  Don't you hate forgetting details like that about people?The track is called "Shy" and I bought it from Beatport.com, and it's amazingly beautiful in its' simplicity.  The kind of house song that makes you dance as soon as you hear it, no matter where you are. People think I'm nuts when I'm driving in my tiny Corolla dancing to super loud house music!The underlying drum/congo loop beat is from an old house track that PTS (Peter, Tyrone & Shams) used to kill at the late night warehouse parties in downtown Toronto. They were such a kick butt DJ Crew!  They used to mix reel to reel into records. SICK Groove masters those guys! I think the track was called "Hand on My Heart".  Infectious. Cruising in your car, driving to a party, this mix will get you in the mood.  If you don't like vocals in your house music, then this mix is NOT for you.  "Pleasure Seeker" by the Naked Music crew follows (another unbelievable track from Beatport, getting excited just telling you about it!), and it just takes off from there into vocal house bliss. I drew the red drawing. My friend, Denny went to a party in Miami with DJ Sneak, one of our fav house DJs. The photo of his hands on the DJ mixer was beautiful. I was obsessed and drew 23 different versions in different styles and this is one of them.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                   1st track is a vocal trx produced by Charles Webster and sung by the amazing Shara Nelson- WICKED! It reminds of a feeling of time stopping in a pitch black warehouse party when certain songs just envelope you while you have your hands in the air.Another defining trx in making this mix is a John Tejada remix of a Telepopmusik vocal, "Don't Look Back". Killer vocals on this mix.Oh yeah, the last song is not something that we usually play because the beat structure has a slight Euro feel, but this is one of the BEST Sarah MacLachlan remix that we've heard. Just close your eyes, not while driving. Crank up that IPOD. Better than 'Ice Cream' and she's Canadian!---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  We would like to start this mix with a tribute to a great artist, Michael Jackson. I remember as a kid glued to the TV Set every Saturday evening, waiting for the most popular music video countdown of the week (CHUMFM 30 on a Toronto TV channel called CityTV). Michael was #1 for 57weeks straight. And I heard it every week and still loved it. Kids and adults walking around with knockoffs of his red w/ black stripes and zippered jacket (in his Thriller video). It was insane!This mix starts with the Michael Jackson bootleg by Masters At Work, "Rock With You". The duo of Little Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez. The house music producers today stand on the shoulders of these giants! This one track/ one sided vinyl came with a no printed words or images- just black coloured. Now that's hardcore! How would you like to sell something with no words or pictures? Once people dropped the needle at the record store and you heard MJ's voice- you pulled out the little scraps of money that you had working at your crappy retail or restaurant job. It was worth it.Jim: Michael has influenced artists in the areas of music production, music videos and dancing choreography among other things.You will get the same feeling (that we get) when you hear this first song. Then it's a parade of house songs. Warning: DO NOT PLAY THIS IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE WORKING, because you will not get anything done.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  House Music to me is a flood of memories, images & feelings into my mind of good times & complete bliss. Music is so powerful in connecting our memories to particular songs or styles of music. Being at a party with loud house music and people everywhere with smiles plastered on their faces is like living your own music video fusing together the powerful elements of music + imagery.When I got into house I had just moved out of my abusive, dictatorial guardian's home, finishing high school and having my first taste of freedom. Having choices was good for my love of house music to develop, but bad for the smoking, drinking, etc, etc.I met my best friend, DJ partner and business partner of almost 20yrs, Jim on the streets of downtown Toronto- both looking for that next fix- a warehouse party. All word of mouth and looking in the usual spots where the last one was held- no flyer people, cellphones, facebook, twitter, etc. How did the scene even grow?These were empty spaces where they charged $5 a head and $5 a beer and they started at 1am back when last call in Toronto was 12:45am, not 1:45am. Sidenote: changing of last call ushered in the superclubs and destroyed the underground warehouse scene in Toronto. Dark with candles sometimes, a DJ on two technics 1200s, a mixer (with no single channel EQs back then) and 4-6 crappy speakers that are not crystal clear like speakers at venues these days. They had this hallow mid-range sound, we dubbed it the 'warehouse sound'. Parties usually finishing at 7am- WOW, what a time.Once we experienced two songs seamlessly blended together by an expert DJ in a smoke filled dark, dingy room, with 100+ people dancing up a storm, never went back to normal popular music.We were always trying to chase that rush of emotions... that last slamming party... that last great DJ mix tape... that last hot mix that gave you goosebumps and made you pump your hands in the air.So for every good party we went to 6-8 poor ones. For every great DJ mix tape you got 5-6 crappy ones, etc., etc. Chasing the illusion of fulfillment.Despite all of that... find someone anywhere in the world who likes house and you have an instant connection. House is so uplifting and unifying.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes. Just Google 'dattrax' and you'll find all places online that we've been a part of.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  This mix was made w/ two technics 1200 vinyl turntables, pioneer djm-500 mixer, rane SL1 convertor box, and serato scratch live dj software, itunes playlists and sony soundforge for recording.Borrowed a friend's serato/ rane set up and it is a blast. Had more fun making this mix than most of the last gigs w/ mixing w/ cds. Made about 1/2 a dozen mixes before this on serato. "Mainstay, MixTwo" was made w/ serato/ rane set up.This is the best of the fusion of digital music files and the tactile control of vinyl turntables. What I did was loaded around 250 tracks into itunes library. Then made six playlists of mp3/ wave tracks titled: instrumental.mellow, ".medium, ".harder & vocal.mellow, ".medium, ".harder because the problem w/ digital tracks is that if you are not organised you can't create a good groove/ flow through a mix. It was a lot easier when it was vinyl because you picked 100 records for an hour gig (this gave you a choice of 3-4records to choose from for every track you played) and your brain remembered the colour of the sleeves, the sticker label on each side A or B, the name of the label or artists, you knew exactly where your favourite track was.With digital, when you buy 20-30tracks per week and your collection accumulates fast, you don't know what is what because the names are just words. Even when you do what we do, and burn onto single cds, it gets difficult because it's our chicken scratch w/ black permanent marker on silver blank cds. W/ cds we organised vocals in different carrying folders than instrumentals. I've seen a lot of local DJs burn 12-15+ tracks on one disk w/ a paper list in the insert of the holder. It's too confusing to create a vibe- too much music.It's faster using serato, then thumbing through folders for cds. Select the folder (playlist in itunes since serato syncs to itunes), then scroll to desired track, then click and drag into the serato software interface- left or right side turntable on screen. Now because of the rane SL1 box, the track is calibrated to the vinyl for instant response. It's the coolest thing. Playing digital tracks on vinyl is amazing! Nothing beats the tactile feel of vinyl for mixing. It's such a blast! Can't wait to try traxtor's system. From what I'm seeing on websites/ youtube etc, it looks like traxtor is more flexible. I'm sure there are tons of bells & whistles that I don't know about in serato, but my friend needs his stuff back soon, so I'll just keep to basics.The djm500 mixer is still one of my favourite dj mixers to play on. Love how the buttons, knobs, crossfader feel. The efx are simple to use and lots of fun to play around with (hope i didn't do too many to make this mix annoying or anything).---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  I friend of mine posted a hand held video clip of George Michael singing "Everything She Wants" and the energy was electric because everyone in the audience loved that song and knew the words. Jim and I have been mixing 80s pop tunes into house sets years before "MashUp" came around (Mash Up: remixes of popular songs layered with instrumentals from other popular songs or hip hop/ rnb beats).We grew up with 80s pop and love it!This mix starts off with 'Everything She Wants' by Wham and in the middle has Duran Duran's 'Wild Boys'. Both pop songs were mixed w/ a house instrumental and then burned as a single song each and played with the rest of the tracks on two Technics SL-DZ 1000's and a Pioneer DJM-500 mixer.House Music to us is taking any house track that you love and mix it with any song that you like to hear on top of your favourite house tracks.I remember before DJing. My first 'mixed tapes' were made from me recording 3hrs of this house music radio show on fri ngts. Yes, multiple 90min cassette tapes! Then listening and fast forwarding to songs that I liked. Then copying each song into a new cassette tape. VOILA! My favourite songs in maybe 2-3 weeks shows in one 90min tape! Pain staking, but worth it. This was before people complained about not having enough GIGS in their ipods or cellphones!---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                  Just love the 1st instrumental track by Silicone Soul. The feel reminds me of Fingers Inc.'s Mystery of Love Instrumental. Just stomp your feet SICK! I found it in the 'electronica top 100 downloads' at Beatport.com. You have to look everywhere, don't let other people's labeling limit or confuse you. When you hear house, you'll recognise it.The first track is the most important in the mix. It sets the mood. There are few house tracks with nice intros and even if there are, you mix through them, so beginning of mixes are fun to highlight a favourite. You don't want to pick one with a 3min or more intro because this will turn people off from relistening to the mix.Next you EQ it the way that you like tracks to generally sound. Too bad there is no EQ, Volume or Compression Standard. Every song is made so differently, which is a good thing to have such a variety of house music to choose from. I prefer less bass and more hi's. When the bass is farting/ distorting and not a tight punchy kick, then it needs to be lowered. Jim's the opposite, he loves bass! The track sounds flat (not vibrant) if there is too much bass and not enough hi's.Some tracks have too much compression so the hi's stab your ear in a bad way, so you have to lower it. Some tracks with vocals, congos, guitars, or washes that may have the mid's too high and that produces a result as annoying as nails on a chalkboard, so you have to lower the mid's.Jim: Some tracks are produced and mastered too well relative to most house tracks and the volume is much greater and you have to know/ remember to compensate so that you have even levels.Next you pick the speed. We prefer mixes at 126bpms, not more than 128 (sometimes you get out of control when not paying attention). Can't believe that we grew up listening and dancing to house at 123bpms or less. Everything in electronic music keeps going faster and more aggressive over the years. Most of the 'deep house' that is coming out (and for the last year 2009) has elements of electro, tech & minimal house. A lot less organic sounding.---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes. Just Google 'dattrax' and you'll find all places online that we've been a part of.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!                                                 For me house music is an escape vehicle from the things that don't excite me about my life or stresses me out, so in those pockets of time that I spend related to house/ DJing, I enjoy it that much more. House Music is therapeutic in that it relaxes me. Other guys love sports, or are zoned out to TV. I don't care for that stuff.Imprinted, MixOne and Two are filled with tracks bought from Beatport.com. Techy, minimal, but still funky with fat house basslines and crisp high hats. Very little vocals on these two mixes aside from the dubby vocal washes and tracks with repetitive one liners.Or I could be wrong, less than usual, I should say. I love vocals laced into cool house instrumentals, because I don't believe you remember an hour of pounding tech and minimal house by itself. I am not criticizing, don't misunderstand. I love listening to top techhouse DJs like Alland Byallo and have a ton of tech and minimal house.But if they were layered with hot vocals, then the tech and minimal house will invigorate the vocals, making them that much better and exciting, and the vocals will imprint a positive memory of the mix into the listener's minds. That's why you can play one bar of a classic house track and the HouseHeadz will start singing. HOUSE KARAOKE.No one remembers a instrumental. People don't ask DJs: "What's that song that goes BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, WAHHH, DUCKP, UMPH???" They don't ask because they don't care.I love the feel of this mix. Charging and aggressive without being annoying/ irritating. You don't have to play hard and abrasive music to have a harder feel.Continued next mix...---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! My DJ Friends often called hunting for great tracks, "Junk Hunting". That's what we all do who love spinning House, don't we? We went though beatport.com & traxsource.com for weeks and probably listened to 2500+ tracks to buy 68 between the both of us. Jim took beatport and I took traxsource. I think our total bill was less than $140 bucks. In the vinyl days, it would have cost at least $1300 for 68EPs. Yup, it was $16.99 (b4 taxes!) for a 4 track EP or 2Trx double sided 12" or sometimes 1Trx, one sided bootleg. We usually only bought an EP for one cut. The GOOSE BUMP/ FIST IN THE AIR CUT.NOTE: w/ the exception of track#2 in this mix, which is a gorgeous SADE bootleg made by Jason B. of SoulFusionExpress fame in Toronto and given to me by an amazing DJ that I met online, Said Chaara.This is the fourth mix after we both bought from those mp3 stores. First one that we're posting. We are like kids on Christmas morning. Nothing like listening to a batch of new house w/ your best friend and DJ partner of almost 20yrs. We listened to the tracks for a few days first.Have enough tracks for a second mix. Going to raid stompy.com (Update: No longer in business. We now only buy from https://www.traxsource.com/ and https://www.beatport.com/ ) in next week first. It'd be nice to find 20 or more tracks there (We can only hope).Made w/ two pioneer 1000 cd turntables and an Allen & Heath XONE: 92 mixer and a pair of crappy headphones (Jim was hogging the good pair!). The instruments in these headphones didn't sound distinct enough and it wasn't loud enough!Sidenote: Invest in good headphones if you want to DJ, it'll make your experiences so much better- spend at least $200 on a pair. At the same time, work w/ what you have and start listening, collecting and MIXING!We hope you like this mix, it was made w/ childlike wonder & youthful love at this music we call HOUSE.As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! A friend of a friend that I recently met, Chris Z. went on a trip to Hong Kong in the summer and posted this image on Facecrack that he took at a party. I asked for his permission to use it. Thanks again Chris!Read the sign, it's the best ever! Love it because it has happened or will happen to every House DJ out there when you spin at every crappy venue just to hear your music LOUD.So funny. I saw Karizma on a youtube vid talk about people requesting stuff when you are deep into a house mixing fever. (Karizma btw... is a wicked DJ. Saw him for the first time in Toronto a few months ago. He cut up some double tracks. Tight. Can't wait to put his remix of Cajmere's "Brighter Days", feat. Dejae's on a new mix. Have had it for months now.. can't wait! His treatment kept all the elements of the original- but he 2011'ed it with crisp hi-hats and tight kick drums.)As amazing as house music is... the feeling, the ear to ear grin of dancing to an awesome mix, the instant connection with other House Fiends- most regular folks don't know what it is. They only know what is prevalent in music videos, movies, etc. People know what they know from what is fed to them. (btw...House is not that euro crap on some TV shows and commercials.)Just recently met on FB, Stas Shiprinksi, who is one of my favourite house producers right now. When I first heard his tracks on Traxsource... WOW!! Bought 8 of his tracks in 20mins of listening to his catalogue.I told him that he makes House Grooves, not house beats- that there are lots of producers that just make house beats. (You can listen to a ton of his tracks in the mixes below like "THE DEPTH FIELD" & "DIRECT DRIVE". Better yet, go to traxsource and type in his last name.)What's the difference? The difference is that with house beats you wouldn't pay money for them and with house grooves- you happily dish out your cash and you get HAPPY on the spot. Chills run down your spine, your chin starts bobbing, feet start tapping and you pump your fist in the air almost cheering. Can't explain that feeling to non-house lovers... that's why you gotta love this sign.About this mix:Super HOTTTTT!!!!! GREENSKEEPERS' cover of the Steve Miller band's "Abracadabra" remixed by John Larner, and SOUL CLAP's incredible remix treatment of RAZE's "Break 4 Love" (dub & vocal mix)- WOW!! Reviving a house anthem that has survived for decades. They made this track current yet giving us the same feel and kept all the cool parts of the original.AND TONS of wicked house tunes for your enjoyment! Burned through 35+ tracks in 77mins here.As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! Made this mix with M-Audio's Xponent midi-controller, their Torq software & my laptop.After using my friend's Xponent a few times I'd have to say that I'm not a fan. (Sorry, not being ungrateful Devon. Thank you for letting me borrow it). The cueing of tracks from the beginning on the jog wheels don't work each time, so you have to use the forward/backwards buttons a lot- major pain and time waster. The cross-fader and pitch controls are way too loose- it's difficult to be precise. Feels like you're playing with a toy.BIG TIME PROPS to all the DJs I've seen on youtube who rock it out on these plasticky controllers. MAD SKILLS!! I suck on these.The mid-range EQ's on each channel had to be set at 11 o'clock all the time (I usually have to set to 1pm for all other DJ mixers), and it still put out too much mid & the mid sounds very hollow. Overall, not really too fun to play with. Got my house music fix with the making of this mix though.For max DJ'ing fun, I'll stick w/ cd turntables, serato w/ vinyl control discs or reg. vinyl turntables.Will be trying a friend's NuMark NS7 soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_4NIKpuHIThat looks like the best controller out there because of the motorized platters that spin (and you can adjust the tightness of the platters), and the heavy duty metal construction. The NS7 doesn't feel like a toy, but at over 3X's the cost of Xponent, it better not:)As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! I've recently been reacquainted with some old DJ friends and met some new ones on FaceCrack. It's been a blast sharing each others' house mixes online (no more cassette tapes or cds!!). I've been inspired time and time again by tons of great house music from Toronto DJs & Producers. We always think that the grass is greener elsewhere. Torontonians want to talk about how great the house scene is in New York, Miami, San Fran or Europe.We forget that the reason why there are soooooooo many House Producers, DJs and regular HouseFiends in Toronto is because of all the great DJs here that we grew up listening & dancing to. DJs like Aki, PTS (Peter, Tyrone & Shams), Dino & Terry, Gene King, Kevin Williams, Dave Campbell, Jason Palma, Nick Holder & Patrick "D" Nice to name the foundation of Underground House here. They got us loving and deeply addicted to this genre of electronic music back in the day.Can't even describe the feeling of joy to find and hear a good house track. Hope you get some of the same feelings after listening to a few of our mixes. Blended with love & devotion.As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! It amazes us how house has grown into so many genres within itself, but the love of house is universal. It's so much fun to make a mix and share it online with HouseHeadz all over the world. DJing is such a blast!! You get to put together your favourite songs anyway you want. Any speed, any length for each track, how you mix trxs in or out, how you like it to sound with more bass for some or more hi's (guilty). The best part is that you don't have to know any music theory or have any musical ability. (Like us, we're probably putting together sounds that would grate a real musician's sensibilities)....You just start spinning. And it's such a blast that you want to do it again and again. You listen to lots of other DJs and get inspired by their various distinct sounds.We love finding the gems in all these mp3 stores, even with so many genres ranging from house, deephouse, techhouse, minimal house, electro house and progressive house. You know when you've found one when you get goosebumps and whisper 'WOW' to yourself. And then there are the exceptional tunes where you put your fist in the air and you're not at a party and no one is around. It's weird sort of.We hope that this happens to you when you hear this mix (even if just a little). Most of the time that you spend DJing is finding the gems, not actually mixing. We're like house miners of sorts- digging away. Best to Everyone in this exciting New Year who visits here from where ever you are in the world. (thank goodness Podomatic finally got their sites mobile friendly, so you don't need a microscope to see this site on your smartphone).As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! This mix is representative of our dattrax sound which is aggressively layered & textured house. We play all sorts of types of house tracks mashed into one continuous mix whether it be deep, vocal, tech, funky or anything else that would make us dance when mixed with house. It's always about dancing or at least bopping your head till you have to see a chiropractor, otherwise, it's just boring.There is something beautiful about hearing different combinations of house tracks and the different transitions that happen automatically when certain combos are placed on top and through each other. Let alone what you can do to change the feel with volume levels, EQs, crossfader, mixing out, tempo, etc. Our joy is in searching for the perfect mix. It never happens but the journey is a blast. We never repeat a combo, unless it hasn't been recorded in a mix yet. Interesting combos refresh and reinvigorate our love of house every single time.This mix was made on the new Traktor Kontrol S4, but the 'sync' feature was not used. We come from an old-fashion background of playing on crappy DJ & sound equipment and even on turntables with poor pitch control before we got Technics 1200s. We like to always get back to basics for that raw DJ feel.When you only play two house tracks at a time and you use a computer syncing program, that's not real DJing. DJing house is about beat matching, layering, mixing out properly, transitions, programming and creating an overall house groove.I'm not discounting 'sync', it's what it is used for that I'm disputing. If you are fusing three or four songs together and need to focus on being creative by making new sounds and textures and by making sure that the 3-4 tracks don't clash, then beat matching has to take a back seat for that to happen. That's a different type of DJing- that's closer to performance art and a new level in live remixing. Above our pay grade.New DJs that rely on technology to do the work will get burned. Not everyone will get to play in premium clubs with state of the art DJ & sound equipment, so the basics must be solid, so that you can be flexible when you don't have the 'perfect' set-up. Learning the basics and improving on them is what makes good House DJs. I'm not trying to even compare House DJs to Hip-Hop DJs, those guys are scientists, completely next level. Just complaining about lazy, hands in their pockets DJs in the house world.My DJ partner Jim has the Serato-Rane time-code vinyl set up and I have the Traktor S4 midi controller set up now, but we both prefer playing out on vinyl and cds. I think we had a combined collection of over 60 crates of house records. I only have five crates left because I got rid of 25crates over the years. I still don't trust a laptop to not crash, but with cds, unless I lose my cookies in anger and decide to stomp on them with my boots, we'll be cruising just fine at any gig. And as far as tactile-feel and modern flexibility of playing digital music files, nothing beats the Serato/Traktor time-coded vinyl systems.As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! Hope you enjoy this mix, loved making it. Please comment & interact with us below on any mixes that you like. Made this mix when I first bought the 1st generation Traktor Kontrol S4. Now I'm mixing on the 3rd Gen for over two years now. It was released at the end of 2018 and now it's Jun2021.This is the 2nd mix made with the Traktor Kontrol S4 (pictured top). 1st mix w/ S4 is "DIRECT DRIVE" below. Starting to get used to the basic functions of this gear. Pretty good response time on the jog wheels (but not precise when you release the jog wheel for cueing), and nothing beats the tactile feel of time-coded vinyl set-ups whether with Serato-Rane or Traktor Pro2 DJ systems. I also really like the feel of Numark's NS7, so I'd probably like the Numark V7's also since they're a grade above NS7s.Native Instruments (NI) made a good product with this Traktor Kontrol S4 midi-controller and their online support is top notch. I'm not a tech person, so had to contact them often and read 90pgs of their 235pg PDF manual. Heavy duty construction, very cool black enamel finish, rubberized EQs and EFX knobs, spacing between knobs are not too tight, and an overall larger footprint than regular controllers, which I like. Cool to have an internal soundcard that records your mix right into your computer. I can stop lugging a mini-disc player to friends' places for a while. Still be visiting my best friend and DJ partner, Jim's serato-rane-vinyl set-up. Still like that best.My main complaint about the S4 is that the pitch/tempo faders on either side & the crossfader are plasticky and too loose- not enough tension. I mean you'll get used to it eventually, but not ideal. The pitch faders also need to have a longer physical range (but I guess they think not too many old school DJs like us will use and every kid in their bedroom is just going to sync everything). And although the jog wheels have a slight magnetic weighting, it'd be cool to be able to adjust the tension. And it would be amazing to have spinning platters that are a lot bigger (at least 7inchs in diameter), but that would defeat the purpose of what they want to do in creating this product to be portable. I wouldn't use it to play a gig though. Good for making mixes at home, but still not trusting of fully digital systems for live events. CDs are a more sure bet for now.I also got tons of static system pops and clicks when attached to my laptop (Intel's dual-core2 at 1.67GHZ w/ 3gigs of RAM, 32bit Window's 7- Home Edition) and this is even after following NI's suggestions for optimizing computer for audio DJing. So now I plug into my desktop (Intel's quad-core at 2.67GHZ w/ 8gigs of RAM, 64bit Window's 7-Ultimate) and haven't had a problem since.Haven't used the sync, hot cues, sampling, looping or any of that extra stuff yet. Don't have time to finish the manual and play with those features right now. With the type of house that we spin, probably won't be doing too much of that stuff anyways, but it is fun to have options.As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!---------------Still having a challenge assigning the EFX boards on either top corner to any channel. Right now they are locked to one channel each side, so I can only apply three effects to each channel instead of six to either channel. I'm sure Native Instruments will help me with that. And they also gave me a BONUS Traktor Pro 2 upgrade in early april which is super cool and worth $80USD and multiple bug fixin' updates since I bought it a month or so ago (much appreciated NI!!). Very happy with this company, Native Instruments' support and quality of software/hardware is top shelf. Here's their site: http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-kontrol-s4/Hopefully this will tie me over till I can afford a real home DJ mixing system. This will be the dream set-up: Traktor Pro 2 DJ software & convertor box, Traktor control vinyls, Pioneer DJM2000 dj mixer, 2 Technics 1200s and 2 Pioneer CDJ-2000's, Traktor control CDs and kick butt JBL speakers & crazy powerful desktop computer w/ huge monitor. That would probably be around $10k, so it's still a pipe dream. Traktor Kontrol S4 is a poor man's version of a dream home DJ system at 1/10 of that cost.---------------There's a PayPal donate button on the right if you're on our main Podomatic site if you want to buy us a beer to say cheers ; )Our PayPal donation email if you are listening to our mixes on another platform.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! Hands in the air and your head bopping as you drive to this... my favourite testing ground for a new mix is nice & LOUD in the car. Drive safely though...Been trying to find time to lay these new tracks my DJ Partner Jim and I bought over two months ago, but work has been crazy and I'm still behind some deadlines, and I don't let house music interrupt my family time with my wife and children (as much as I love it). I wish I had a soundproof room though because every time I had time, it was at 11pm or later. That's life... There's a few tracks on this mix that are almost classic house now because tons of good Toronto House DJs have been playing them since Jan & putting them in their mixes also. Good thing that great house is timeless and if someone hasn't heard it before, then it's NEW to them.In this mix: many many tracks from Toronto's Finest Deep House Producer right now, JASON B. (in my opinion. I think 5 tracks- time for a 60min Jason B. Tribute Mix soon. It's gonna be called "TORONTO DEEP" so I got dibs on this mix name Everyone!)The first track is Jason's treatment of SADE's Morning Bird and it's exquisite. Can't get enough of his tracks. A good house track for me is when you can listen over and over and still get a grin on your face and this refreshing feeling flow over you.Last track is by Toronto's Nick Holder and it's one of three vocal tracks on this mix called "Heartbeat", so the name of this mix was obvious. Don't think we ever bought three house songs with the same name before- weird. We have many of Nick's vinyl records, but this is his finest remix- PERIOD- gonna blow your mind!! I first heard it on Roland Gonzalez' mix in feb2011 and freaked out!Nick is representing Toronto in South Africa right now- much respect to one of the most successful House Producers Canada has ever produced- a pioneer in this scene. A scene that we all have grown to love more and more. I've been told that SA is the center of the House Nation right now, I don't disagree with this with so much great production coming out of SA recently for deep house, but I'm biased and think Toronto is where it's at for house music in general. Don't believe me? Blowing hot air?---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes. Just Google 'dattrax' and you'll find all places online that we've been a part of.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! Wanted to put these tracks into a good mix before they became classic house... really, really wanted to make this mix before Christmas.Unfortunately best laid plans often times don't become realised as work and family leave very small opportunities to indulge in my hobby.But if I had a soundproof room where I can have house music blaring at any time of day or night- wow, that would be a dream!Apologies though... there are two instances where the track playing skips... don't know why because there were no skips when I mixed them. Will have to contact Native Instruments and find out if some of the updates they gave me messed up my Traktor S4 and if it can be fixed. On the otherhand, if I waited till the problem was fixed, then this would come out in feb and I couldn't wait any longer in sharing with Everyone!Jim, my best friend and DJ partner of many years (yes, we're too old to be in clubs : ) each bought about 2 batches each last few mths, and I pulled about 30 tracks for this mix. Jim usually tackles beatport and I go through traxsource. It's a long tedious hunt for tracks that we like, so we hope that someone out there likes these tracks also.The next mix will be the bumpier stuff from those 4 batches. Have about 40 tracks left that needs to go in a mix, but around 20 tracks that must be deleted since they 'sounded good at the time', but not now.Enjoy this- as always it was made with love and had a blast making. These tracks that give us goosebumps when we hear them, want to go shake it off, stomp our feet and raise our hands in the air. Ahhhh... nothing like house music is there?As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!!

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! In an ideal world I'd love to pump out a mix a week, and much respect to the DJs that regularly pump out house mixes. Lots of discipline and love displayed there. Thank you to all the HOUSE DJS out there for sharing with people your hard work finding the gems, and piecing together something that can be enjoyed with multiple listens and shared with like-minded friends.Now with the internet- there's too much choice and it's so easy to share one's vision of house music with others. So I wanted to enjoy, learn and be inspired by my fellow Brothers and Sisters in HOUSE in our beloved city of Toronto.IT'S NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD FOR HOUSE MUSIC!!Toronto is a city brimming with underground house music fiends for over 20yrs because of so many great DJs paving the way and making people fall in love with this music, DJs that have influenced my DJ partner and best friend, Jim and I through many many great memories and tons of record hunting... back to influences: Kevin Williams, Mark & Aki, Peter, Tyrone & Shams (PTS), Dave Campbell, Jason Palma, Dino & Terry, Noel Nanton, Nick Holder, Patrick "D-Nice", Eric Ling and many more. More recently Jason B., Gene King & Jason Hodges.Some of our Outside-of-Toronto house dj or producer influences have been (that first come to mind): Little Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez (MAW), Derrick Carter, Wally Calleiro, Phonique, Luke Solomon and Justin Harris (MFF), Roger Sanchez, John Tejada, Alland Byallo, Stas Shiprinksi, Lee Kalts, Soul Clap, Greenskeepers, Said Chaara, Matthew Dear, Chuck Love, Chuck Daniel, DJ Sneak, Cevin Fisher, Rob Mello, Dub Taylor, Steve Lawler, Danny Tenaglia, Doc Martin, Frankie Knuckles, Fingers Inc., etc., etc., etc. and then some...With every track bought, every mix made, and every gig played we pay tribute to all the house producers and house DJs that have impacted us over the years and to all the house promoters that gave us all those magical nights and even the not so great nights to learn what we didn't like. We are very grateful of all these experiences and all the wonderful people we've met over the years. Afterall, are we not the sum total of all we've every experienced and the result of every day to day decision?---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! This week, thinking about getting a new car stereo deck was dancing in my mind. The one I bought a few years back doesn't play CDs anymore, but fortunately has an auxiliary plug to put my ipod or iphone into. I've been looking in the weekly electronic store flyers for months now, just eyeballing all the car decks- salivating. Dreaming of a cd player that works, the USB port to stick a USB stick full of house music into. The urge to drive to the electronics store and scoop one up was so strong, but know that it would be at least $220 when you include taxes and installation. Then the thought about how many mp3, 320bit house tracks I could buy for that money POPPED into my head, so I decided to live with my crappy car stereo (for now).This internal tug of war brought back a flood of memories to a time when my DJ Partner Jim and I were vinyl junkies to the extreme. We called it being addicted to "The Black Crack" (after the black colour of vinyl for those of you to never have seen vinyl before : ) There was a point where we were so addicted to buying house records, that when I saw something for let's say $35, I'd think to myself: 'but if I don't buy this, then I can buy TWO RECORDS!!'This sounds silly, but seems to be a man's version of frugality- choosing to not spend in one area in favour of another, but not saving any money. There are people who probably think, 'Hey, why do you guys still love house music so much?' You know, some guys dig sports or collecting something... that's just another money and time sucking hobby. We've chosen HOUSE as a hobby and are cool with that. The big difference is that this love can be shared with so many people and transfer those positive feelings.There is so much pleasure in the process for us, almost a monthly ritual... of hunting for tracks. Listening to them for a week or two, mixing them, listening, mixing them again, listening, then again, then sharing them and hoping that someone else likes the mix also.GOING BACK to the topic of being addicted to house back then. We went to endless number of parties, have over 400 mixed tapes & cds made by other house djs. We bought over 6000 vinyl records over the years and we stopped buying vinyl and switched to buying MP3's over 10yrs ago. And now have over 2000 house MP3 tracks. Burned through tape decks, needles (for turntables for the youth out there : ), mixers, 100s of cases of blank cassette tapes and over 8000 blank cds, whatever it was we needed- you name it. Compare to sports (if we were into sports), we would be the guys- shirtless and with full body paint jumping up and down like drunken idiots in the stand holding up crazy signs & stuff, buying sports related stuff, going to sports events, hanging out with other sports addicts, watching sports all the time and playing in men's leaugues 2-3x's per wk. We are the ultimate FANS!I tried to quit 'The Black Crack' three times and once for about 3years till I heard a DJ mix of new house that blew my mind. Now I know that we are here to stay. Just spent over 5hrs this week cruising over 1500traxs and hunting down 41 new tracks in www.Traxsource.com - excited about sharing the next mix with you!!---------------Reach out to us and comment.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! Hello Fellow HOUSE FIENDS!!Can't believe it's been over a month since we had a chance to post a new house mix... where does the time go? With work and family there's hardly enough time for house... it's a crime.Jim, my DJ Partner and I are beat junkies and are constantly hunting for new tracks. Not "new" tracks meaning that they have to be current, just new to us. That's the great thing about house, the music is timeless and because it is so powerful when you hear it you, you instantly associate it with a fond memory. Constantly need an influx of 30-40tracks each month to keep us excited.Once in a while we find a house producer that just blows our minds (even though almost every track we buy blows our minds), so then we go raid their entire catalogue of tracks on one of our fav mp3 stores, and find a half dozen or more gems.Last producer I remember that we bought that many at one time was Sta Shiprinski. There are many house beat makers but the tracks that resonate are made with a house groove. You can't put a finger on it because it's different every time, but WOW... does it impact you. Especially after a long day of stressful work- CRANK it up!Anyways, we are so excited to find Nick Curly. Think this mix is almost a Nick Curly tribute because I think 6-8 of his tracks are on here out of the 30 or so. (That reminds me, I want to do a Phonique tribute some time in the future.)Curly's "Piano in the Dark" is the most beautiful house vocal track we've heard in 2012 so far. Every part of it! Hands in the air and close your eyes! The way house makes you feel every time.All the other tracks in this mix are killer too. Too many great house producers to really name. This is the BEST time for house music because there is soooooo much of it out there.Special Thanks to VINCE VEGA of INPUT RECORDINGS & WBI MUSIC for giving many fans on Facebook his beautiful bootleg remix of GOTYE, "Somebody That I Used To Know". Vince's bootleg of SADE's "HAUNT ME" is still one of my favourite vinyl records.Vince and many house producers in Toronto are emerging with their own unique vision of house and showing people that the hardcore house fanatics live in and love Toronto!!Thanks Justin Shaw aka, NOBLE for this image.---------------Reach out to us and comment.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! Again we are in a position where there is SO MUCH GREAT HOUSE MUSIC COMING out each week, and so little time making good mixes.Jim and I (for those who don't know we DJ together as 'dattrax' and have been best friends for ages) have bought a few more batches since we bought the music on this mix a few months ago. So we have enough new music (well... new to us since we didn't hear these tracks before) for three more mixes after this one.Have soooooo many mixes in mind to make and so little time...What's a good mix? That's too subjective since everyone's definition of everything is different these days on many topics, but for us, a good mix is one where a listener is not bored after the first run through. And if they scan, the tracks are so good that they want to have a full listen afterwards.(There are so many free DJ house mixes online now that people don't even listen to the mixes, they just scan through them.)It's where they enjoy playing the mix over and over and keep finding new parts that they like in it- that's a good mix! (sidenote: a mix is completely different than a live set, but more on this another day)I always refer back to the days when I would get a mix tape from one of my favourite local house djs (only a handful back then, but 100's now in Toronto). I'd get a tape and if it was ok or suck, then it would get shelved or put in the trash. If it was good, then it was listened to 30 or more times and practically wore out the tape!Now we're realistic, knowing that in today's internet age- a house mix or house track will never get the attention like mixes/tracks back then, but we'd be happy if people played a few times and remember the names of the dattrax mixes that they enjoyed.Nothing like hearing someone freaking out and saying "I loved... (name of dattrax mix because..."). That's reciprocal love happening there. The positive feeling from house music is universal and is an instant connector.Forget 'back in the day' (even though I mentioned it a few times ;)! This is the BEST TIME for house music! The volume of music being made, and the quality to be found in sifting through that volume. So blessed.If you have an insatiable appetite for stress relieving, soul lifting, foot stomping, head bopping, fists in the air, goosebump ridden house music, then go to beatport or traxsource and drown yourself for 5hours and get an ear to ear grin.---------------Reach out to us and comment.

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!! Decided on a mock interview format to share our thoughts on some House DJ related topics we've seen online lately, PART1...We hope that you enjoy this mix also. Cheers, dattraxWHAT IS WITH ALL THIS HOOPLA ONLINE ABOUT DJS WHO USE SYNC BUTTONS TO MATCH BEATS?Sync or no-sync, at the end of the day it's about rocking crowds, making great memories and experiences, so it doesn't matter. If you have fans, then someone likes what you do, then that's what we're all after isn't it?Having said this, there are a few things we'd like to share:Some big DJs like DeadMau5, David Guetta and Steve Angelo, etc. who use premixed mixes for live shows are like modern day rock stars with legions of fans paying lots of money to listen to their pre-programmed sets, so it seems that this is what their fans want, their form of 'live' entertainment. Doesn't seem that their fans care if it's really live or not.DNothing wrong with that. Loud music blasting in your ears while you dance your stress & worries away is what it's always been about.Don't really have a beef with pre-programed sets or synced mixing, but our beef is with pretending to DJ and then denying that they are syncing, etc (recent example is the online scuffle between DJ Sneak and Steve Angelo about 'fake djing'- remember the Milli Vanilli lip syncing scandal in '80s? Same deal).Angelo apparently denies this, even after images and youtube vids of him at live events circulate all over Facebook that prove otherwise. Angelo has a massive following that love his tunes, so what's the big deal Stevie? Just say you do and so what if you do, but don't say that you play live when you clearly don't.Syncing is important for DJs like Richie Hawtin. Hawtin is a pioneer, a scientist and master show man- working a laser light show, always mixing four tracks at the same time, doing 1/2 a dozen effects at any one time. In his case, beat matching has to take a backseat so he can create and inspire.That's different. If you just mix two records together (like we do), then why do that?The fun for us has always been in the mixing! The ups and downs of trying different track combos, different house genre combos, playing tracks at different speeds or EQ settings that we enjoy rather than what they were created at, using line levels and cross faders to change the tension between during mixes, mixing out properly to not change the tempo in an undesired way, seeing how what we do fail or succeed in getting a shared reaction of joy from a fellow House Fiend.We grew up with great Toronto DJs, like Aki. who was mixing beautiful house journeys in smoky, dark & packed warehouse parties before dj mixers had single channel EQs or effects buttons (the internet, mp3's, Facebook or cell phones). Listen for yourself- just house music and mixing. This mix was on cassette tape (google it!) made in 1996 by Aki with two twelves and a old school mixer:http://torontohousedjs.podomatic.com/entry/2011-03-03T10_38_24-08_00We forked out good money each week to go crazy to amazing talents like Jason Palma, PTS (Peter, Tyrone & Shams), Dave Campbell, Kevin Williams and Dino & Terry- these guys made you danced till the sun rose.We saw out of town talents like Roger Sanchez, Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, Cevin Fisher, DJ Sneak and Little Louie Vega blow our minds with 2 or 3 vinyl turntables- all these guys made us grow more in love with house music each time we partied to their brand of house! The art and wonder of it all. Learning what we liked or didn't like about the mixing or music programming. Always learning and having fun along the way.We also take issue with some DJs saying that beat matching is so easy and take no time to learn to justify their syncing. We just have one question:"If it's so easy, then why are you using the sync??!!"If you want to sync, then do it, it's your art form and the way you want to express yourself. Just don't pretend that you do it because it's not worth your creative focus & energies, or that you don't when you in fact do. Life is simple but some people choose to make it difficult.---------------Reach out to us and comment. Just Google 'dattrax' and you'll find all places online that we've been a part of.
