   Episode 197: house music HEALS » Strictly Underground House Music

   dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides. How is life treating you? Are you pursuing your dreams and goals??!! Hi-Five to you!!!____________________Thought that I'd share my super nerdy process for prepping tracks for a DJ gig or a new house mix. ____________________After I first buy and download a new batch of house music tracks from Traxsource or Bandcamp.I usuallv listen to them separatelv for a week or two. Try to get to know and understand them. As I listen to them over and over again, I imagine different combinations with my older house tracks that I have.Incorporating them into my collection.____________________If I'm making a new mix, then I'll start organizing them and adding a bunch of tracks that I'd want to mix with the new ones. If I'm prepping for an upcoming DJ gig, then I'll take the most danceable tracks and put them into one large folder. ____________________Usuallv takes me 4 to 8 hrs to choose and organize for each gig or new mIx. It's a therapeutic ritual and a lot of fun.It sounds boring, but it's not because I'm imagining the different directions that I can take the night or a mix. How do I judge how many total house tracks do I need for my gig? If my set is 3hrs, then 1 know that the avg speed for me is changing a track every three minutes.Other DJs like to play their tracks for 6-7mins each. Everyone has different preferences. So I know that I' probably end up playing 60 tracks give or take, within three hours. Then there's the issue of choice.Not too much or I won't have an overall feel or direction.That's why you see young laptop DJs bring a few thousand tracks and then are all over the place. Then I decide what I feel ike sharing. Track names will pop into my mind. So I go through the folder and move the tracks that I really love into a 'Priority' folder Then I go into a dozen rabbit holes. First, I collect evervthing into one folder. Then I make a priority folder and try to eliminate a lotThen I'll put them into folders according to energy levels.Mellow Vocal. Mellow Bit Harder Vocal Medium Mellow Vocal Medium Dubby Medium InstrumentalMedium level energy have the most ofIfI know thati won't be going harder, then nothing more to organize.Med Bit Harder HypeTwo more everv levels.Depending on the night or mix.Too little choice and I'm going to annoyed instead of having fun.So I give myself 5 to 8 choices per 60 tracks.So let's say the total is 350.You know how many tracks and how many energy levels you want to take them on.Choosing the very first track for your set. That's extremely important. Setting the mood and the expectation.Then just mix, sing and dance!!! Sharing your vision of house with your dancing friends.Interact with the dancers and try to surprise them with your combination choices.For house music. It's al about the combinations.____________________All the best to you and your loved ones.From your friendly neighbourhood Chinaman who LOVES house and LUVS you.May God Bless You and All Who You Love Abundantly 💜💜💜💜💜💜♥️AMEN = So be it. Let it be so. Signifying Agreement 💜All the best to you today, this week. For your life.This is my good fortune cookie for you today.Cheers,dattraxCould you please leave a review if you enjoy this mix or others?https://share.google/JBseSPl81sxdignbC---------------DJ Bookings for Canada, the US, or Global: dattrax@gmail.comDonate/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/dattraxConnect on IG: https://www.instagram.com/house_music_by_dattrax/Connect on FaceCrack: https://www.facebook.com/dat.so.940

At 25mins, there's a Sade house bootleg ("Is It a Crime") that comes in that was made by my good friend, Douglas Carter.He's one of the best Toronto house music DJs and producers ever!! He gave me this beautiful creation over two years ago. But, because he didn't think that it was finished, I wasn't allowed to put it in a mix or play it LIVE. I've patiently asked him every six months if he got a chance to finish it YET 😅🤔😜 This time when I bugged him, he finally gave me permission to put it in this mix.I've heard it unmixed over 50 times since 😅Finally got to touch it and hear it loud at CTRL Room. Soooooooo happy!!!
