Almost December

Despite the fact that the month of November has almost passed us, I'm calling this the November mix,. I'm doing this mainly because I've once again found myself with more music than I know what to do with, and I'm going to try to crank out at least one more mix before the end of the year.

This one is mostly house and electro, with just a touch of progressive (ie one song). If you're big into progressive house this may not be the one for you. If you like the rest of my mixes, though, I think you'll really like it - lots of great electro house from all of the usual suspects.

As always, the tracklist and download links are below. Please take a moment to leave a comment if you wish. What songs did you like? What didn't you like? What did and didn't work for you? I enjoy your feedback either way, but I do hope you find yourself at least tapping your feet, if not standing up to dance wherever you are when you listen. Unless you're driving, of course. :)

EvolutionTwo

This is part two of a 160-minute set I put together over the past couple of weeks. It's pretty high-energy electro from start to finish, with tracks from many of my usual favorite remixers. If you've enjoyed my past electro house sets, I think you'll definitely like this one. In addition to a bunch of new tracks, there's also a healthy dose of 80's and 90's reworks. Perhaps a bit cheesy, I'll admit, but also a lot of fun, and exemplary of the way that as our lives change and grow, so does the music we love. Enjoy the evolution!

Note: In case you missed it, part one is available below!

EvolutionOne

Because posts have been pretty few and far between over the past few months, I've managed to accumulate a massive amount of really good music that I don't know what to do with. So I decided to put together a longer-than-usual set that spans a pretty broad spectrum of stuff I like to mix. There's a little bit of everything here - house, electro, and a rather surprising number of progressive tunes. Feel free to leave your comments and suggestions below, if you wish.

Note: this is part 1 of 2. Part 2 should be available later this week. Enjoy!

Well, it's been awhile... (October 2009 Mix)

This the last mix I made before leaving Madison. Unfortun- ately, because of the craziness of the move and even more craziness in trying to find a decent job up here, I haven't gotten a chance to post this until now. It's pretty much mainstream dance music through and through. Although there are some really solid tracks here, you won't find any crazy electrobangers or lesser-known underground tracks. If you enjoy remixes of mainstream pop music, then you'll love this one. If it's the other stuff you come here for, you'll have to wait just a little bit longer. It'll be worth your wait, though, I promise. I'm putting together something REALLY nice for your upcoming Halloween parties. :)

Enjoy this mix for now, and stop back soon for something even better!

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!
