Here is a new mix. Long time no do. Here is the first 2021 mix composed of some good oldies, newbies and in betweens.  Enjoy!

Here is a new remix of Donna Summer's iconic "Sunset People". I've always loved this one and the instrumental parts are fantastic so I had to do something with and transform it. Enjoy

RIP Sophie

Rest in Power Sophie

I'm just discovering this amazing talent that left us too soon! Here is a bit of a mash-up to celebrate her legacy!

Sophie’s fascinations with the musicality of hyper-feminized speech and the plasticky found-materials of late-capitalist consumer culture made their way into her music.Credit...

Happy Birthday Frankie Knuckles and Martin Luther King

Frankie Knuckles, Jan 18th, 1955.

 It's a tradition today that I would be recovering from an 8 hr. dance marathon from attending the yearly Body & Soul's Martin Luther King celebration dance event. Obviously didn't happen, so instead of sharing the previous night's events. I'm sharing this amazing Frankie Knuckles Tribute mix created by Tedd Patterson. When I was a grad student at Parson's, I will make my pilgrimage every Friday to the Sound Factory Bar and hear his live sets. It was church and it was home. Last time I was lucky to hear him play live was at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center in 2012. I recalled it was a very intimate party for Bears. Unforgettable! Happy Birthday! Life is Something Special!
