Party for the Weekend: The DU8SHOW Podcast B - Funky House Essentials!


lady by orochimatthew (deviantart.com)

Hey party people! In time for the weekend I'm bringing a nice funky house mix today with a great mix of the essentials that are sure to keep you dancing in the best way possible. The DU8SHOW Podcast B is a Funky House compilation that is great for a relaxing drive home or to get yourself in a partying mood for the early evening. Let's get started:

I've started it out with one of my favorite house-mixed artists, Jamiroquai with Blow My Mind, a Dr. Kucho staple remixing Bamboola Production's Bahia, a rare-gem by little know group; Flanders bringing By My Side, some Gregor Salto and DJ Madskills treatment of the hit Very Nice People track called I'll Make You High. Then we bring in some latin flavor through Knee Deep with a remix of the Dubtribe Sound System's hit; Do It Now, then we go into a nice Dawn Tallman gem called I'm Over It, then we have an amazing Fred Everything remix of a Kings of Tomorrow track; Another Day, with a great Missy Elliott dub of Bring the Pain whereby we close with Random Factor's Without You remixed by the Inland Knights.

Thanks to all those who have given requests. Stay tuned for more upcoming podcasts by diplomatico!

DU8SHOW is back! Underground Sessions featuring Classic House!



Hey everyone, many apologies for the long-hiatus but we're back on and we're making a few changes. Due to a new concept site that we're working on for 2010, the DU8SHOW podcast will continue for the remainder of the year (approx. 5 more episodes) but since we're restarting the entire show next year, the Podcasts will be lettered (Podcast A, Podcast B, etc.) until we start anew.

As mentioned, I did have some technical issues to tend to for the past while but the changes we made in this department will not affect the overall format of the show. We're still playing the best in house, we're still twittering our great work and we're still keeping the community open for anyone take part and have their voice heard. While we were gone we received an amazing amount of support and we look forward to rolling out the new changes. We also give big thanks to all those who had us in their thoughts while we were gone. And finally, I do apologize for not having the archives up but we're still working on a solution to get the entire back-catalogue of all of our shows and special sets from the new site to the blog. Unfortunately this might require more time but as always, requests for previous shows can be made to me at greenhausrecords (at) gmail (dot) com.

With that said, here is the DU8SHOW Podcast A for the month of December. As a tradition, I usually put out an underground classic house CD just as December is starting and this is well in the vein of what the trademark diplomatico sound is really all about and I'm sure you'll love it. Keep listening!

DU8SHOW delayed until Mid-November: Details

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted anything in a while but we're working on some critical issues, mostly technical, with both the blog and the show and therefore we will be further delayed in bringing the next episode of the DU8SHOW. We are continually making efforts towards improving the show in every way imaginable and we hope that you keep tuning in as we work to post some back episodes.

So what's the deal? Well, during the past few weeks, we've been thinking of ways to implement proposed changes that we wanted to see on the site including a variety of show format changes but we found it incredibly difficult to roll-out while the show was still going on. We consistently review user feedback and as such, our plans to upgrading the site became much more involved as we worked with resolving common back-end issues while as time went on.

We here at the DU8SHOW are an ambitious bunch and we want only the best for the fans while paying close attention to maintaining a high-quality podcast for all those who love house music. We can't wait to show you some of the changes that we have in store for the site as we are always evolving into something better and with time, making the DU8SHOW into something bigger. This short-hiatus can give those who are just joining us a chance to catch up on all previous episodes and I'll be sure to personally have a collection of some of the best episodes of this year posted in the coming days.

Thanks for supporting us and, as always, feel free to contact us with any questions or comments at greenhausrecords (at) gmail (dot) com.

diplomatico makes Guest Appearance on DI.FM's Alchemy Sessions hosted by DJ Medieval!


Rama rama by z3dd (deviantart.com)

Hey everyone, I have a special treat for you. I recently did my second guest spot on DI.FM on my good friend's DJ Medieval's Alchemy Sessions, Episode 013. Medival throws it down every 4th Tuesday of each month on the Progressive Channel and we have amazing colabs. The following set is the past show aired just recently and it contains some amazing tracks including a heavenly first hour mix by the man himself. I come in on the second hour and throw down some soulful stompers with a bit of dirtiness to it to make things interesting. Our colabs are always a hit so give it a whirl and enjoy these two amazing sets back-to-back.

Louis Store - deviantart.com

Hey party people, to bring the weekend into full swing, I have two brand new Designer Sets with the ultra-popular Louis Vuitton collection with the ‘LV-Lectro’ series. Let’s begin:

For the main set, I’ve brought some amazing remixes with the likes of Dennis Christopher, Christian de Hugo, Ian Carey, Fukkk Off, and a new Stephen Hinz mix of some huge tracks. I’ve also included one of my person favourites that’s just tearing up dancefloors everywhere called Why Don’t You by Gramophondzie, definitely one HOT track. I’ve also put in some new John Dahlback, Marks, Laidback Luke, and Zagazound tracks that’ll make this set on the best of the summer yet.

For the Afterhours set, I’ve surely put some bump in the mix with a couple of revivals like AVH’s The Funk Phenomena, ATFC’s Bad Habit 09 set of re-rubs, some D&G, Robbie Rivera, and a Tainted Love remix from Gianluca Motta. Of course, I cannot do afterhours without some Carl Kennedy & Johnny Gleeson, Chris Ortega & Thomas Gold, Jose Nunez & Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero, Dave Darell, Edison, Bart. B. More, Mobin Mastter and a sweet Kevin S. Original track aptly called Afterhours.

Massive Underground Sessions Set: DU8SHOW Episode 51!


Enemy of the State by shebid (deviantart.com)

Hey everyone, I’m unleashing one of my marquee club mixes with an exclusive Underground Sessions set. Bringing the absolute best of house music with a huge variety of common artists and industry approved tracks that are played the world over mixed together in trademark diplomatico style. Here we go:

Introducing the set will include classics such as Martin Solveig’s Linda, Jark and Prongo’s Shake It Baby!, P.J.’s Happy Days, Grand Menage’s Magalenah, Inner City’s Big Fun, Lil’ Louis’s Lonely, and Stephanie Mills’ Latin Lover. Of course, guiding these amazing tracks are of course, Knee Deep’s French Love, Wawa’s massive Chain of Fools remix, an exclusive remix of a familiar favourite with Music for the Pushchairs by Small Phat One, Kenlou’s Sensational Beats Vinyl B-side, Shawn Christopher’s Don’t Lose the Magic remixed by Miki Moto and Bobby Blanco, a huge Steve Angello remix of Moby’s Raining Again, and a masterful remix of Warren Clarke and Kathy Brown’s Over You. Truly inspiring.

Lastly, I closed the set with Rock with You by the late Michael Jackson as a humble tribute. I understand that the DU8SHOW might not be the outlet for a full-blown MJ tribute but let it be known, his passing has affected all of us at DU8SHOW and while we mourn one of the greatest artists who ever lived, we along with musicians around the world celebrate the music that changed the game forever. We will miss you Michael Jackson, we are still rocking with you.

Rest in Peace, MJ.

Anniversary Show: DU8SHOW Episode 50 (Opening Set)!


Beautiful Woman by sadbab (deviantart.com)

Hello everyone, today I'm posting up the opening set for the anniversary edition of the DU8SHOW podcast. There will be two more sets that will be posted throughout the week. Let's begin:



In the past year, I've built both a blog and a podcast out of a simply formula; diplomatico spinning the best in house music, in a simple format with no MCing or over-wrought ads for those who are fans of the genre. The concept was built off of a previous blog which I started on Opera called 'diplomatico - spinning the best in house' and then making it into a music podcast on Blogger.

Over the course of a few months, it started to gain a larger audience which inspired me to expand on the site's design to include some beautiful art from deviantart.com and to start syndicating the show on other music blogs and internet radio shows - the latest being DJ Medieval's Alchemy Sessions 010.

The DU8SHOW quickly became a fan favorite and soon started receiving rave reviews, an 8.0 rating on Blogged, and attracted hundreds of follows via Twitter, 2000+ followers going strong. Today, I present one of the first of three sets for Episode 50, a milestone that was the product of years of DJing to build on the same simple winning formula. And we're not done yet.

Today, I'm officially announcing that there are some ambitious projects to be arriving in the coming months that will built on the podcast and be featured on a new website that I'm building (currently in Alpha-stage right now) and will be previewed in the coming weeks. I will also be 'resetting' the podcast for this new project but a complete back catalogue as well as full DVD of the best shows will be available on BitTorrent.

I'm pleased to bring you the opening set and I would like to thank all those who continue to support us. The DU8SHOW is going to be bigger and better throughout the summer and into fall and I can't wait to bring another 50 episodes of the best house music in the world. The people have spoken, DU8SHOW is one of the best up-and-coming house music podcasts around and soon, I will be bringing my live performances and more special mixes onto the blog as well. Stay tuned!

Party for the Weekend! DU8SHOW Episode 49 (Funky Essentials Mix)!


Harlequin by bazpringle (deviantart.com)

Hey everyone, it’s Friday and it’s time for the lead-up to our first year anniversary here at the DU8SHOW and today I have a private essential mix featuring some beautiful club music starting with some funky house and then going into some electro-infused tribal to give a little bump in the sound. There is no playlist for this set but there are a couple of familiar favourites like some Deep Dish, Paul Johnson, Midnight Society, Gregor Salto, Cajmere Wray, Mario OchoA as well as Peter Gelderblom and Renes Ames with some added surprises.

To lay out some plans for the upcoming episode of DU8SHOW, we are going to be bringing the 50th Episode in with a bang with two special mixed sets including some links to Torrents that will have a complete back catalogue of the DU8SHOW and special edition mixes that I’ve made in the past three years. While I’ve posted a great deal of mixes over the past year and that might seem like a lot, there are a lot of sets that people have missed out on because of Sendspace’s limits on how long files are hosted and therefore the Torrent strategy is a welcome feature of the DU8SHOW blog that will give everyone a way to check out some of the best mixes in the archive. This and more coming up in the next couple of days. Enjoy!

Essential Electro Club set with the DU8SHOW Episode 48 (Toronto Electro House Mix)!


Polka Dots by AstridT - deviantart.com

Happy Friday, House Lovers! On this beautiful day in downtown Toronto, I bring you guys Episode 48 of the DU8SHOW, mixed for the club-heads out there. diplomatico brings a special Toronto Electro House Mix with some of the best tracks you’re going to find anywhere. They’re club essentials that have been proven to put a little step into your collection.

I start with some soulful vocals with Barbara Tucker’s One in a colab with Peter Luts, a great Belocca and Soneec remix of Pray for More’s Shame, and I just get warmed up with some Till West and DJ Delicious with Same Man. Then it brightens up with the Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams remix by Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso going straight into a retro classic; I’m Satisfied by Scoper and Bubba for the ladies. I delve deeper with an amazing Deep Dish remix from the archives dating back to 2005!; the DC boys remix Dire Straits’ Money for Nothing (truely sublime!). Cut back into the groove with a Richard Dinsdale electro track with Wray vocalling Pulling me Under mixed right into the amazing Jerry Ropero and Denis the Menace remix of the Shapeshifters' Incredible just to keep the energy for a House Mogul remix bomb of Daft Punk’s One More Time.

Closing up, I’ve brought in some deep classic electro house, bringing the soul back with a Joi Cardwell classic, What It Feels Like remixed by Quentin Harris and then to a beautiful Sacha Williamson groove with Sorry by BitterSuite.

If this mix makes it to you car, you’ll be glad that you’ll have something on the way. Stay Tuned for more sets coming soon, enjoy!
