Hey. How've you been? You okay? A small list of things that have happened since the last episode - lived through an ongoing pandemic, bought some Pioneer decks, got married, turned 29, moved to Queens (see episode art), voted for Biden, turned 30, got vaccinated (twice). Still feels a little like March of last year. But I'm okay. Anyway, here's an …

Hi. It's been a while. I've made this episode 50% longer than usual to make up for lost time. Good to be back. In the last couple years I've noticed a trend of big chunky tech house and techno that samples 90s hip hop and r&b. Some labels like Glasgow Underground and Toolroom have been crushing it in part because of this. So here's 90 minutes of wh…

Last night - Wednesday morning - my country collectively decided to elect into office a racist misogynist with selfish ideals unlike anything we've ever seen in our government. All day Wednesday I felt equal parts gutted, angry and depressed - worried that we'd be soon be erasing decades of progress that would affect me and those around me I love. …

I said something to it on Twitter earlier this year, but tia is not just a mixshow podcast to me. A lot of craft, curation and love goes into the show. There are never any track repeats across episodes, and to that end I try to play only tracks that mean something to me, or at least have a good memory associated to it. If it doesn't (and it's just …

Woah, déjà vu. Haven't recorded a decent set since last year, at this same event no less! All the same it's good to be back. Again. (again.) A bit of a wild night, and I was glad to be able to dig deep into my library for a few clubbier records. Dat JOYRYDE tho. I also couldn't help but drop in a couple brand-new edits of mine, including "Voulez-De…

I was invited to fill an empty slot at a dance that happens nightly at this little art convention that happens every summer. All things considered it was a killer night, playing some groovy tunes on a Saturday night. This is the live recording straight from the board, and I liked it so much I decided to use it as an episode of the show. Many thanks…

"begin again." That's right, we're back. Not for the faint of heart - this is a no-holds-barred peaktime floor-filler mix. It sounds good turned up loud. tracklist: 01. Knife Party - Begin Again 02. Kryder & Still Young feat. Duane Harden - Feels Like Summer 03. Daddy's Groove & Congorock - Synthemilk 04. Above & Beyond feat. Alex Vargas - All Over…

A re-recording of my Youmacon 2013 set, live from Detroit. Was very lucky to play for the con for the third time and it was a blast. A couple surprises and a hell of a lot of fun. tracklist: 01. Botnek - I Know 02. Bad Boy Bill & Steve Smooth feat. Seann Bowe - Free (DJ Bam Bam Remix) 03. Phunk Investigation & Dino Lenny vs. FGTH - Relax x2 (Dan Ve…

"waving goodbye." A triple meaning for some smooth, sexy, wavy music that this mix contains, the long hiatus that the show went on between studio episodes 006 and 008, and the common gesture. Touching on some indie dance, glitch hop and even a little disco. tracklist: 01. Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie (Oliver Nelson Remix) 02. Jaytech feat. Nathan…

It's our first classics episode, the one where I take one of my favorite mixes from the original series and bring it forward. For this one it's episode 305 from November 7, 2010, and one of my favorite tech house mixes I've ever recorded. tracklist: 01. Trinity Parker - Sugar Pie 02. Alex Dias & Fernando Tessis - This Groove (Flutuance Remix) 03. D…

This week we're going "deeper and deeper." It's a good thing, I promise. There are some tracks in here I've been waiting to play for a long time. tracklist: 01. The Presets - It's Cool (Andrew Bayer & James Grant Remix) 02. Mark Knight - Your Love 03. Croatia Squad - Break Out 04. James Talk - Deepspace 05. Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston - You G…

I took the photo for this week's show artwork outside a Brooklyn warehouse. "brooklyn bigroom" seemed like a nice way to kick off our first electro house of the show. The mix also features a cheeky Django pun. tracklist: 01. Bunji Garlin - Differentology (Major Lazer Remix) 02. Baskerville - Checker 03. Savant & JELO - Baddery 04. Biskvit - You Spi…

The second episode of tia is called "get in the groove." With this mix, it's pretty easy to do that. Featuring music by Phunk Investigation, UMEK, Disclosure, and one of my favorite mashups I've ever done, "Lady Calling". tracklist: 01. Phunk Investigation - Disko Boost 02. UMEK & Groovebox - Cause And Effect 03. Jay Lumen - Femme Fatale 04. Jason …

I guess you can say I turned it around. tia is my new podcast, and like my previous one, Turn It Around, it's jam-packed with good tunes and vibes. The debut episode is called "once progressive" because Episode 101 of Turn It Around was progressive house, so it only seems fitting. tracklist: 00. Dinka - Lotus 01. Dinka - Lotus (Soundprank Remix) 02…
