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!

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.

Electro and Tribal House to the Max: Lobby Essentials (Cheaters Club Mix)!

As the weekend winds down, I have a brand new Lobby Essentials set called the Cheaters Club Mix. This mix is a bit of an adventure for the electro fans and since it has been a while since I threw down some tribal house, I fused it in with some pretty solid tracks to keep you moving throughout the week.

First off, since I don’t usually play tribal, it would be fitting that I mention these tracks first: we have some D-Formation remixed by a master of his craft; Victor Calderone remixing a rare track called The Third Dimension, Jesse Garcia has always been a tribal favourite with his ultra-popular Tribal Spain series bringing you Vol. 6 called Talkin’ About House, and you guys know I like to put in some Deep South with the original Miami fix of Tribal America. With this kind of tribal, you of course need some Wally Lopez remixing some Tiesto and you can’t go wrong with Chus & Cebellos with a really sweet track called So Far Away off of the original vinyl. All of this great tribal is wrapped up in some pretty nice electro with a huge Raul Rincon remix of Yves LaRock’s Rise Up, an Axwell remix bomb of Pharrell’s Angel, Laidback Luke tweaks a nice TV Rock vibe with hidden gem Duke of Windsor’s The Others and nothing goes into heavy tribal set like some Robbie Rivera where I put in some Mario OchoA (8A) with the megahit; The Dubai Track.

This set is a great party set as it is one of the essential sets for you collection and is definitely a keeper. Not many of my sets have such a mind-bending mix of Electro, Tribal and ending off with some banging latin house tracks; I mean, I have Saxo at the end! (When was the last time you raised your hands to that beat?) Enjoy this set and don’t let anyone make you turn it down!
