Hey everyone, it's time for yet another Underground Session with the Electro swing of the Twisted Edition. These mixes aren't for most people as these hand picked selections are usually the sets that distinguishes my mixes from the rest. This is a nod to the tech-heads out there for this weekend and it's just the start. Stay tuned for some upcoming classic house mixes and a surprise megamix. Enjoy!

Huge Club Tracks for DU8SHOW Episode 35!

Hey everyone, it’s time for Episode 35 of the DU8SHOW and I have two amazing mixes for you this weekend. The opening set has some club essentials with some great openers with the likes of Mark Knight, Deep Dish, Junior Jack and Haji & Emanuel remixes for some great tracks from Jesse Garcia, David Guetta, Afro Medusa and even Innercity. For the main set, I’m hitting the electro nice and hard with some addictive vocals to keep you dancing and singing along the way. This isn’t any ordinary setlist as I’ve included club bangers from Green Velvet, The Cubeguys, Gabriel & Dresden, and I even closed with Dirty South which will no doubt be great additions to your collection. I think I might have outdone myself but you can be the judge of that.

Kudos to my twitter friend DJ RJ who has provided me with some soundbites to give the podcast a little more life. Be sure to hear more of this work later on as I try to figure out ways to incorporate all of the bits he gave me to work with. Thanks a lot, RJ! Keep posted for more mixes coming soon as things get a bit interesting on the DU8SHOW. Cheers!

Starting the weekend with DU8SHOW Episode 34 (Diva Mix)!

Above picture is White by Emerson Almeida (deviantart.com)


Hey everyone, it's Friday (finally) and today for Episode 34 I'm bringing in the Diva series which I had going for about a couple of years. It's primarily inspired by some of the best house tracks with female vocals and for the DU8SHOW, I reached back pretty far to put this unique mix together. And since it is the weekend, I'm going to be preparing some club essential CDs for you ladies needing something to listen to in the car before heading down to the club. Before I go, I just put up the new banner which was a quest that took quite a while to conceptualize. I still have a couple of designs to try out so this isn't final but I will say that I think it suits the site. Send me some feedback or twitter love and let me know what you like, or more importantly, don't like about the site. Thanks for visiting and stay tuned!

Afterhours DU8SHOW - Episode 33: Going Way Down to the Underground!

Hey everyone, today's show is going to be great for those who are really into the underground scene. Many people who are into electronic music often times go deep inside a specific genre like Tech House, Minimal, Progressive House - whatever, if you are really into the music, it's hard to make the divide between sounds while at the same time the underground scene is huge. Not to mention the fact that there is some really interesting music coming out of there. For DJs, there is a dedication to whatever underground sound they go which can often times be a major test for oneself. It goes somewhere along the lines of playing house and then having to play hip hop because you have to try and get yourself in that head-space in order to get the sound right. For me, I've always been recording compilations with underground sounds specifically for the tech heads out there. This dedication has me reaching out to those who love electro, minimal and tech and today holds a special show today. DU8SHOW Episode 33 is pretty much how underground I'll go and there is an amazing tracklist here for those who are in the know. It's by industry standards as very Dirty House and might even more on top of that. We're going down....way down, to the underground - Enjoy!

DU8SHOW Episode 32 (Main Set) - Classic House in tha Mix!

Hey everyone, hope everyone is having a great week so far - I know the Americans are. It's hard to not mention something about the Elections happening in the states as Senator Barack Obama gets elected President of the United States of America in a triumphant victory over Republican Senator John McCain. I was personally moved by all that was going on and it donned on me that Obama is from Chicago which many people who love house around the world sometimes forget that that is the birthplace of house. To the die-hards, some of the best house infact came from Chicago and that much of the music that is now called "Classic House" is deeply-rooted in much of the best house songs today. Having said that, I've prepared a special Episode of the DU8SHOW today with a great line-up of some of the greatest Classic House that will sure to bring back a lot of memories for some of the old house guys. If Obama hears this, he himself will probably remember the time that house was in it's heyday. This one's for you, congrats!

DU8SHOW Episode's 30 + 31: Live Friday Night Party Sets!

I hope everyone had a great weekend as there was much partying done and diplomatico ripped it up at the party Friday night. For DU8SHOW Episode’s 30 + 31 I have something very special for you. First I have both the live sets from both the opening and Main House sets. Since it was live the sound is a bit off but you’ll get a good sense of how the vibe was at the party. Next week I will have remixed and extended versions of the house sets because it was a great line-up. As an added bonus I added the hip hop set that I played and at some point I’ll add the Reggae and Reggaeton sets though they aren’t going to be prominent since I don’t play Hip Hop, Reggae or Reggaeton professionally so don’t expect to be wowed by the special sets. The Hip Hop set has a great line-up of club essentials that you can’t go wrong with in the clubs, at least here in Toronto. And of course, since it is hip hop, it is definitely not safe for work because I’ve used unedited versions for many of the songs. All in all a great setlist for the weekend so enjoy it!
