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!! 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!!

Quando convidámos Rekorder para participar neste episódio, o vimaranense, agora a residir em Barcelona, não hesitou em aceitar o convite. Desde logo, Rui Pedro evidenciou um enorme à vontade para falar com A Cabine, e a sua humildade foi algo que saltou à vista. E não foi preciso dizer-nos que é uma pessoa simples, calma e "com um profundo gosto pela música"; nós percebemos logo isso. Rekorder tem origem em "Reckoning Order", um projeto de Rui Pedro que, apesar de demorar "alguns anos a arrancar", tem agora a sua ordem devidamente calculada, e já se apresentou ao público há alguns anos atrás. Como muitos outros, o dj começou por misturar música para amigos e, mesmo tendo tocado em diferentes palcos até então, isso continua a ser uma "das coisas que me dá mais prazer". Com um primeiro contacto com sonoridades "mais ambientais" como Kruder & Dorfmeister e Zero 7, Rekorder sempre utilizou a música como um refúgio para os problemas ou, "outras vezes, para exponenciar os melhores" momentos. Mais tarde, conhece nomes como DJ Hell, Miss Kittin ou Fischerspooner no ensino secundário, mas tudo começa quando conhece a armada composta por Dave Clarke, DJ Rush e Carl Cox — esses, sim, agarraram o dj vimaranense à cultura eletrónica. Para Rekorder, a música é a prioridade. Nunca se deixou levar por vícios, referindo que, durante anos, se limitava a bebidas energéticas e a dançar. Desde então, o dj observou atentamente a cena eletrónica: "os djs, o ambiente, as pessoas, as organizações... tudo me influenciou e influencia". Quando questionado acerca da sua experiência até à data, Rui refere que tem tido uma "experiência fantástica" que espera continuar a "crescer exponencialmente". Mas há muitos detalhes com que se preocupa. Se nos primeiros tempos a timidez e a vergonha trouxeram algumas dificuldades pois não gosta de protagonismo, Rekorder sente que está cada vez mais apto para pôr os ouvintes a dançar através da seleção que faz. "Durante anos", acrescenta, "toquei sem preparar um set, limitava-me a escolher entre 100 a 150 músicas", tentando sempre improvisar ao máximo em palco. É por isso que experimentou diversas combinações nas cabines. Ultimamente, Rekorder tem-se baseado na Traktor S4 com os controladores X1 e F1, por sua vez aliados à Pioneer RMX. Mas antes disso, tocou ao vivo com outros recursos, tanto digitais (Ableton) como analógicos (Roland TR8). No entanto, todo este processo originou-se num lado muito digital e precário: começou por misturar em softwares com o rato. Nunca, em nenhum momento, Rekorder esquece aqueles que tornaram possível a sua carreira — da família aos amigos, a passar pelos que amam o seu trabalho. Nesse sentido, o dj acredita que "todos aqueles que procuram saber mais sobre este mundo" devem fazê-lo. Ao longo da entrevista, o dj reflete sobre o crescimento que tem existido em Portugal, e afirma que quer ter um papel neste. Por entre mudanças, Rekorder selecionou as músicas para este set nas suas viagens de metro em Barcelona. Com a ajuda do único material que levou para Espanha, o seu primeiro controlador MIDI, Vestax VCI-100, o dj conduz-nos agora por uma viagem de 75 minutos que promete agarrar-nos aos auscultadores.

Late 1999 I descended the steps into a murky basemment whose walls were slick with sweat and vibrated with the incessant rap of a four four beat somewhere in the realm of 135 to 140bpms. At the foot of the stairs the bar lined the left side of the wall, whilst scattered chairs and stools occupied the right hand side of the passage. Ahead lay the barely visible dancefloor. Amongst the spewing action of the smoke machine, limbs writhed and contorted like a Chris Cunningham video. A red strobe light cut geometric patterns into the haze and the sweet/sickly stench of hash and weed fought for their hierarchy amongst body odour and spilt beer. Ecstatic screams and aggressive, yet high pitched shouts of pleasure somehow placed themselves above the frenetic frequencies that filled my ears and mind. Tribal drums, scything hi-hats and cymbals and that unrelenting four to the floor beat poured over me, drenched me and elevated me above the temporal here and know. Physically and spiritually I was undergoing a life changing and life affirming transformation - nothing would be the same again. That was my first experience of Voodoo in Liverpool, UK one of the premier Techno nights that ran in Britain. James Ruskin was on the ones and twos and I was to see him play again over the following years at the Orbit in Leeds and Atomic Jam in Birmingham to name but two. Week in, week out I went all over the UK following this sound and the purveyors of this music. Lost in London, House of God in Birmingham, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Space DJz, Oliver Ho, Robert Hood, DJ Rush, Regis, Surgeon, Claude Young and many, many more. Following their examples I got myself decks and a mixer (and an healthy appetite for buying vinyl) and attempted to create those moments of musical magic and bliss in the confines of my bedroom. Like an acolyte of the occult and magick, my pentagrams, melted candles and burnt offerings were the platters of 1210s and the faders of a Pioneer DJM600 with an apparently never ending supply of virgin vinyl. And so, 16 years later I find myself still in the confines of my 'bedroom' attempting to conjure up the Techno spirits of yore, but 1210s have transmogrified into a Traktor S4 and black circles of wax have become files of flac and 320 - yet still I like to believe that the essence and dynamism has remained:, that ability of instigating emotions and memories and rejuvenating the dark beauty of that thing we know and love called Techno.

dattrax: This mix was a blast to make and received the most 'likes' in Facebook that we've ever gotten when posting mixes in the house music related groups that we've joined. Over 3 dozen 'likes' so far and over 1300 plays/downloads in total (inc. FB visitors), and it's only been up for 3 weeks as of this written post. So happy that others in the world are enjoying our vision of house music, it's very gratifying. Thank you all very much.
