Main Sets for DU8SHOW Ep. 50: Celebrity Mixes!



House Lovers, it’s time for two more great mixes for the Anniversary edition of DU8SHOW Episode 50 to end a great weekend with diplomatico. These sets are part of a special Celebrity mix set that I’m rolling out exclusively for this week including the Celebrity Soul Mix and the Celebrity Club Set which has a number of some of the greatest house tracks both old and new.

For the Celebrity Soul Mix, I’ve included some familiar favorites like a Dr. Kucho remix of Bahia by Bamboola Productions, Cerrone’s Tattoo Woman remixed by Jamie Lewis, a rare Shapeshifters mix of Candi Staton’s You Got the Love, an amazing DJ Spen and Karizma remix of Kathy Brown’s Over You, a beautiful Michelle Weeks track called Come Together with an exclusive Joi Cardwell deep soul mix called Change the World. Also included are some rare but great soul vocal-infused tracks including DJ Meme Orchestra featuring Rachael Claudio track called Any Love remix, a two versions of David Corps and Marina Claire track called Myself (both a rare dub and complete vocal treatment), a sexy Christian Hornborstel and Alfredo Azzetto house throwdown of 84 Kingstreet, and a deep house version of Hands Up by Wipe the Needle with a NYC underground vibe.

For the Celebrity Club Set I have some club essentials I have a some big tracks such as the Pryda revamp of Diamond Life mixed by Anthony Carzola, a Sandy Vee remix of Antoine Clamaran’s newest; Gold, an interesting present day rework of Shiny Disco Balls by the Bad Boy DJs, DJ Rooster and Sammy Peralta’s remix of Tonight by Nick Terranova and Austin Leeds, and you can’t forget the amazing Arrested Development’s
Everyday People revival via Samual James. Of course, you will find some recognizable faves like the Mashtronic remix of Ride by Chable and Bonnici, a Fallin’ remix of Dirty High’s club banger by Nik Denton, a sweet Micha Moor remix of Jochen Pash and Norm’s Shake It, an original track by Phantom Power called Mace in your Face, a Blue Monday revisit by electro artists; 2 Touch, and lastly, I’ve included a huge Mobin Master prime-time favourite; Reach Out by Sweet Mercy feat. Rowletta.

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!
