Sax on the First Date

Finally, I can post this mix! It was done almost 8 weeks ago but I had to hold out for the perfect photo. Thanks Kevin Su for finally getting the job done! This is a follow up to a mix I did last fall called Sax Appeal . If you haven't had a listen to it, I suggest you do that as well. So here it is, from 95 to 135 bpm all things funnnkkkkyyy! Sax on the First Date:

Sunny Sunday

Well finally on this Sunny Sunday, I bring you my first mix since I got back form my travels in Central America. I took the photo above of Jess near San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. As for the music, it's a pretty solid dose of laid-back house music to help you bring on the Summer!

Also coming very soon is the follow up to Sax Appeal, and a straight up Disco mix. Enjoy, and leave me some comments if you dig it.

Unconditional Happiness

This is a mix of mix of full of my favourite downtempo, jazzy and melodic jams. I know these tunes always make me feel wonderful so I created this mix to be a reminder to breathe deeply and sink into the beauty of life always around you.

Today Feels Great

Right near the end of summer, as a few more sunny days shine on us, I wanted to do a sunny afternoon type mix to help us relive those hot days at Bass Coast, Shambhala and where ever else the summer has taken us. With some of my very favorite tracks, this mix is nothing but lush, feel-good tropical house and nu-disco. Enjoy! Feedback much appreciated.

Sax Appeal

Lounge Lizard

This mix was done as a promo mix for a gig at a lounge in town. Well the gig never happened, but I did have fun learning more about and mixing a different style of music: loungey deep-house. I find deep house can be quite boring sometimes so I tried to pick songs that have a bit more to them while still keeping that deeper edge. Not really meant for the dancefloor, but maybe more background music for other tasks or for a long drive home from a festival (the first time I played this for friends was our last hour driving home from Bushwacked Festival).

Mr. Dressup

I've never played at the peak hours of a big party so for this mix I thought I'd do exactly that... put together a mix of bangers that would hopefully rock the dance floor in the middle of the night.

As for the title of the mix "Mr. Dressup", for those that don't know Mr. Dressup was a man in a children's TV show, and every episode he would walk over to his tickle trunk, tickle it as he walked around it, and then pull out a costume. This is why we call our party-costume boxes "tickle trunks" , or in some cases even "tickle closet". So this mix goes out to my homey Mr. Dressup, an inspiration to us all to keep those tickle trunks going all your life and never stop dressing up!


As well, I plan on putting together a jazzy downtempo morning mix, and a groovy afternoon mix in time for those relaxing summer days that are sure to come. Thanks for listening!
