Team Sexy – Teamwerk Volume 2 – 2011

Brooklyn — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 05:57:04 +0000

Team Sexy is back at it again, proving two heads are better than one... Here we have a beautiful full force four armed house flex just like mama used to make. It's really that good. At just about any moment you can close your eyes and imagine a full floor getting down. This is an expert example of a high energy mix that takes you along for the ride, a subtlety not easy to achieve.... Good work gentlemen

Team Sexy – Teamwerk Volume 1 – 2011

Brooklyn — Fri, 13 May 2011 21:14:10 +0000

Hello internet land, it's been a while... I've missed our sessions here and have a few goodies to share starting with a real doozy from our own dynamic duo Team Sexy. They put this on Soundcloud a little while ago but I wanted to be sure all of you got the first installment of what promises to be a great series.

Pat Benolkin – Love Drums . 01 – 2010

Brooklyn — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 07:44:57 +0000

It's been a while since we've gotten a new Pat B. mix so I was really excited when I saw this one in my inbox. The title tells me we have a new series, and just going on the quality of the Listen To This mixes, we are all in for a treat. Let's all thank Pat for the wonderful iPod fodder now kiddies.

TFK001 – Pat Benolkin – Mas

Brooklyn — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 20:39:20 +0000

With this first release we start this endeavor with the aim of cultivating and creating something special, a collection of quality music, a vehicle for self expression, and I'm sure some great memories along the way. TFK 001 can be downloaded free on SoundCloud, all we ask is for some feedback. Yes the first rock is free folks...

Curtis Porter – Live at Club Curto – 2009

Brooklyn — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:27:23 +0000

It's about time for a tech house fix innit? This mix does not disappoint. Curtis Porter has that smooth mixing style I love, and he is very versatile. He can seamlessly weave a tapestry of sounds, then just sneak up on you and drop a bomb. He has the tools in his shed and he is not afraid to use them people. Everybody give it up for good DJs!

Bucky Fargo – Live at Sektor 22 – 2008

Brooklyn — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:26:22 +0000

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.

Brooklyn – Hello World – 2005

Brooklyn — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:32:06 +0000

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

Mike Balance – Blast This – 2008

Brooklyn — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:23:21 +0000

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...

Jen Woolfe – Ruby’s Rocks – 2008

Brooklyn — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 18:32:51 +0000

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!

Pat Benolkin – Listen To This Mix! #2 – 2008

Brooklyn — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:25:39 +0000

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...

Trent Cantrelle – Live @ Avalon – 2007

Brooklyn — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 23:24:23 +0000

Special thanks to Mr. Cantrelle for letting me share this mix. It is from a stacked night at Avaland, October 20, 2007. Coby One and I went to Hollywood to see Modeselektor. Sander Kleinenberg, Adam Beyer & Trent Cantrelle were there to round it out. Not a terrible lineup...

Pat Benolkin – Listen to This Mix! #1 – 2008

Brooklyn — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 23:41:48 +0000

What he described to me as the first in a series, this mix is magnificent foreplay! Creeping through abstract bleeps, it gains momentum like a runaway freight train reaching a new level of energy right at the end. Pat B. definitely left me wanting more... so it's a good thing the next mix is already under way. Series work. Hot.

Mix Architekt – Summer of Diskontent – 2007

Brooklyn — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 19:44:47 +0000

I've had this mix for almost a month now, unable to tear away from the insanity of life to get it up here to share... Notice the title... Anyway, it is well worth the wait. Mix Architekt delivers a smooth intriguing composition that surely brings the funk. Don't be shy, let him know what you think. And keep your eyes open for his original productions in the works. EDM at it's most intelligent, this is one to watch...

divaDanielle – La Belle et La Beat – 2007

Brooklyn — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 18:52:17 +0000

One of LA's finest here, dropping smooth tech house for this set... A relentless barrage of quality tracks she blends and weaves a tapestry you can imagine holding up a party at three in the morning. I first heard her via an online mix competition that she ended up winning...

Steve Edwards – The Funky Kind – 2007

Brooklyn — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 19:50:44 +0000

This month I am really excited to share this absolutely wonderful DJ with you. I came across Steve Edwards when I was going to school in Phoenix. What set him apart for me was his amazing drive to share his music. If I need a fix of dirty tech house, I always know where to look for an exciting new mix.

James Dean – Mud Butt – 2006

Brooklyn — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 18:06:43 +0000

James Dean comes correct with his first TFK mix, bringing his newest obsession Electro to the forefront. He's been a champion of house music for a decade, and he is the one who taught me how to spin... He's a dinosaur. Haha.. No but really, he's an amazing DJ have a little dose of Electro already.

Patrick Benolkin – R.D.M No. 1 – 2007

Brooklyn — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 18:04:40 +0000

The first mix from Pat is a fun fresh ride through some solid house music. He goes to his crate surely stocked for his residency at the Lux, and shows us why it is Boise's best place to groove... This is one hot set that will have you dancing around your place, open the windows... turn it up!

Dj Brooklyn – Midnight Society – 2006

Brooklyn — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:56:14 +0000

An epic journey from funky, to tech and back again... Although they are few and far between I put it all into these full release mixes. This mix is meant to be a journey you can enjoy from start to finish. More about the listener than a showcase of skills, it highlights the power of selection.
