I am very pleased that Gary has agreed to let me do my first blog post solo style.  I am still quite the noob at this, so my first post will be simple and to the point.  If you know me at all, my musical tastes change on a weekly basis.  I have really been into the groovy tech house stuff, as you will see in this mix.  Many of the artists here will be easily recognizable, and there will be some that are unfamiliar.  Most can be found on Beatport or What People Play, so go get ‘em. Enjoy!!

It’s been a looooong time since I’ve stood behind the decks and put together a mix – 3 months in fact. The birth of my beautiful son, Griffin was the reason for this extended break and I’m more inspired than ever to continue following my music passion. I can’t wait until he’s old enough to tag team with me on the 1200s – won’t be long I’m sure (check out Britton’s son, Brayden – he’s down).

So for this latest mix, which I am calling “Ze ‘Stache”, I threw together a bunch of minimal, tech and electro tracks – there are a few rubber-neckin’ numbers in the appropriate places so there’s definitely some variety. I’m a little rusty after 3 months of downtime, but for the most part I think this thing sounds pretty good. Have a listen and don’t hesitate to hit up Beatport if you like any of the tracks you hear.
