Hello friends, I began dipping my toe into DJing in the mid 90s. Dissatisfied with the endless loop of the 7-10 songs on pop radio cracking out of the speakers in the salon I was working, I decided to try and bring my own music collection to the shop. I was an avid (possibly obsessive) collector of lounge, electronic, ambient and dance type music. Im embarrassed to say what I must have spent in those days at Oak Lawn Records, Tower, and Virgin - may they all rest in peace - but it also began time to get some equipment. I purchased some equipment, albeit simple rudimentary gear at my local guitar center and began making compilations at first, and mixes as I progressed and developed more of a skill and ear for it. Today I enjoy playing different types of sets and venues. I typically do a monthly show at one of the more underground-friendly spots in Dallas where i can play out some dance melting bangers, as well as more lounge and downtempo sets for hotel lobbies, art galleries and the like.

Mid Summer Dreaming

7/22/2024

So this represents a selection of tracks I have been playing a lot lately however I have pitched them all down between 108-115 BPM and it just gives them a very different feel. This is a cerebral journey that is somewhat of a follow up to my "Driving to Nowhere, Everywhere" mix I made a few years back, also on this page.

This was an amalgamation of all the Djs in the house that weekend playing 3-4 tracks at a time in no particular order. Just a truly freestyle jam session...
