All Good Things Come to an End...

Since I know a lot of you have been wanting (and waiting for) this, I'm posting the mix from last weekend's very last Foam Party. For being an extremely last-minute affair, I think it all came together quite nicely. This may be the last 4-hour mix I ever put together, and although it was rushed, I'm fairly happy with it, and I think it definitely contains most of my favorite songs to be released in the past 9 months.

This mix also represents the end of an era. Earlier this month, the Cardinal's infamous foam parties came to an end with the closing of the club. On top of that, Saturday's party is the last one that will ever happen on the deck. With that said, I'm not certain that I'll ever attend another foam party anywhere. If someone is going to step up and offer to throw one, I'll be there. But this may very well be the end for me. We had a good run - a crazy, intense, and exhausting run - but in the end, we did something not many others can claim to have done. We threw the wildest parties imaginable, and nobody who attended will ever forget them. I think that's saying something!

Thanks to everyone who was there and to everyone who helped to make this happen. We did well.

The Meaning of Pride

Forty years ago Sunday, a group of gay men and women fought back against a police raid that took place at the historic Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. Though not the first time gay men and women had ever fought back, Stonewall became a symbol of the beginning of the fight for equal rights for all. That fight continues today. And though we have a lot to celebrate this year (including securing marriage rights in multiple states over the past several months), the war is far from over. So while you're out celebrating this weekend, let's remember those who have fought before us to get us to where we are today. They deserve our respect, our remembrance, and our gratitude for not choosing the easy way out and instead standing up for what was right.

This mix is (quite obviously) a little "gayer" than my others. But I think it's a lot of fun, too, with a lot of 80's and 90's throwbacks, some classic dance floor anthems, and some new stuff too. It's a little out there, and a little over the top, but that's what the festivities are all about, right?

Happy Pride!

Set it Off

This is gonna' be one hell of a weekend.

First up is Indiequeer Discotech with the Bag Raiders(!) tonight at Majestic. Tomorrow is the first FOAM party of the year at the Cardinal. Not to mention the fact that it's only mid-April, and it's 81-degrees outside. So to celebrate the beginning of FOAM season, I'm rolling out this brand new, high-energy mix.

It's been awhile since I've put out a real electronic mix, so I'm pretty happy with this one. Whether or not we'll be throwing any foam parties this summer is still a bit up in the air, but this is the type of peaktime music you could expect to hear. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Do yourself a favor and get out to at least one of the big parties this weekend if you're in town. They're shaping up to be pretty amazing.

The April Mix

Back again with a brand new montly mix, and this time I've kept it pretty mainstream. I haven't posted a monthly mix since November (!), so this is pretty seriously overdue. There has been a ton of really great music released lately, which can only mean that summer is just around the corner. The songs selected for this mix represent my favorite remixes of songs currently in heavy rotation on the radio and in the clubs. And if there's a song on here that you haven't heard yet, you can probably expect to hear it more and more as the weather warms and people begin packing the clubs again. It's about time, isn't it?

February Flashbacks II

This mix serves as a follow-up to the original February Flashbacks, because who wouldn't want another cheesy mixture of remakes and reworks, electro/dance style? I actually finished this about a month ago, but then ran away to Hawaii for a bit and forgot to post it. Better late than never, I suppose! I hope you enjoy.
