dattrax: We would like to start this mix with a tribute to a great artist, Michael Jackson. I remember as a kid glued to the TV Set every Saturday evening, waiting for the most popular music video countdown of the week (CHUMFM 30 on a Toronto TV channel called CityTV). Michael was #1 for 57weeks straight. And I heard it every week and still loved it. Kids and adults walking around with knockoffs of his red w/ black stripes and zippered jacket (in his Thriller video). It was insane!

This mix starts with the Michael Jackson bootleg by Masters At Work, "Rock With You". The duo of Little Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez. The house music producers today stand on the shoulders of these giants! This one track/ one sided vinyl came with a no printed words or images- just black coloured. Now that\'s hardcore! How would you like to sell something with no words or pictures? Once people dropped the needle at the record store and you heard MJ\'s voice- you pulled out the little scraps of money that you had working at your crappy retail or restaurant job. It was worth it.

Jim: Michael has influenced artists in the areas of music production, music videos and dancing choreography among other things.\\xa0

You will get the same feeling (that we get) when you hear this first song. Then it\'s a parade of house songs. Warning: DO NOT PLAY THIS IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE WORKING, because you will not get anything done. THIS MIX will not be restrained in the background!

ENJOY!

BTW... if you enjoy this mix, then why don\'t you buy us a beer? There\'s a PayPal DONATE button on the top right side of this website. For Toronto or Global bookings: dattrax@gmail.com

This was an all vinyl house mix.
