Here’s what I know about Bucky Fargo… he is good at this DJ’ing thing, he has a dope radio show, he seems really nice and he answers his email. All great qualities! Now a little about this mix, this is Part 2 of a set at an after hours in a rundown warehouse on the south side of Chicago. November 15, 2008 to be exact.

This mix was recorded in the summer of 2005. This was just a few months into my digital foray and I was having a great time revisiting genres I hadn’t for some time. That’s one of the best things about digital music, it’s cheap so you can buy a lot. Hear that kids, buy… buy the music. We’ll be exploring some deep house at the onset but, it’s not too long before we get down to business

I came across this mix a week ago, and instantly shot off an email to see if I could share it with you.  Mr. Dinsdale was more than happy to oblige.  This mix explains that Ministry of Sound residency, club thumping, thick and engaging throughout.

Ok, I’m really excited about this one! I’ve heard every mix this guy has done in the last decade, he always brings it to the table, but this is my favorite mix he’s done in a while.  For the uninitiated Mike Balance is an amazing Producer / DJ, working closely with the In Stereo crew…

Well here’s the first mix we’ve posted by this west coast house phenom, Jen Woolfe is an amazing DJ (and woman for that matter). She keeps it very funky for this mix, taking us through the paces with some perverted tech house out front to get your attention. Smart move!

One of our own has relocated to Portland, so time for a new mix to introduce himself all proper and shit.  With some Bmore jams as bookends we start, and quickly we go into electro breaks territory, all the while keeping the party vibe thick.

Hooray for the third installment of this rocking series!  I’m starting to see a pattern here, he starts it off with some smooth tech house, and just when you start to feel comfortable some blistering bass comes in to wake up that sleeping inner child.  His electro selections shuffle just right…

So it’s always hard to write about yourself, so I’ll just give you the back story on this one.  I’ve been producing music for a few years now, but my problem seems to be finishing tracks.  So one fateful day in July I said no mas, and dug through my music to see what was closest to being done…

The second mix in the series, and we have another instant classic.  Pat Benolkin is literally one of the best DJs I know, and not to get all high and mighty… but that is saying something!  Always a bastion of good taste Pat takes us on a journey into the deep. His selections speak louder with every transition…

Better late than never right? This mix was recorded live at a TFK hosted event in Boise ID, December 2007. Babylon was packed and Max Power stole the show with this eclectic blend of bangers, and that rad faux mullet. This set is peak hour Rob live from Babylon.  He recently relocated so Portland let him know where the party at…
