DEAD AIR BASS 36 (CLASSIC HOUSE – ALL VINYL) ((SEPTEMBER 2016))
As promised, it’s gonna be a second HOUSE MUSIC episode, and this time around, I’d like to return to the classics. Not only am I dropping an hour of CLASSIC HOUSE, but I’m also doing it in a classic way. Every song in the broadcast is coming off VINYL from my very…
QUICK MIX VAULT: DKGL QUICK HITTER PACK 003 (90s)
I asked the people what the theme of the next QUICK HITTER 10 PACK should be and it was unanimous: 90s TUNES!!!
Now, at this point, the 90s have been done to death, so I wanted to make sure the 10 songs I’ve chosen are not ones you’re going to find edits of ANYWHERE…
THROWBACK THURSDAYS: NITRO DELUXE & PROTECTING OUR PIONEERS
Posted in HEADUCATION, OLDSCHOOL
I’m not sure exactly how we’d go about it, but I feel like we really need to take care of our ground breaking musical pioneers. So often, they end up passing away with nothing to show for their ventures except a lifetime of hardship. I hope that no other artist, who has made a significant…

Posted in HEADUCATION, OLDSCHOOL
There’s so much that can be said about OL DIRTY BASTARD that it’s nearly impossible to narrow it into a manageable article of highlights. Instead, I’ll just focus on a couple main points to sum up one of the most interesting figures in the history of music.

OLDSCHOOL RAVERS, this Thursday is yours!
HOLY NOISE
Before PAUL ELSTAK would go on to become the single most important figure in the development of HARD DANCE culture, he was one third of a…
THROWBACK THURSDAYS: PLAY THAT BEAT FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF DJING
Posted in HEADUCATION, OLDIES
It feels weird putting HIP HOP in the OLDIES category, but I guess we’re finally at that point in history. Here’s a tune that deserves way more credit than it gets.
THROWBACK THURSDAYS: WHAT HAPPENED TO NU NU???
Here’s an interesting case of “hey, what happened?”
LIDELL TOWNSELL – NU NU
You won’t often see this single included in any CLASSIC HOUSE compilations, despite the fact that it was a #1 HIT back in 1992….
