dattrax: Went into an HMV at Bloor & Yonge in Downtown Toronto a while ago for some mixed house cd listening. I needed a house music fix badly. Stayed for hours listening to at least 40 "electronica" cds. They hated me there because the staff have to reseal the ones that you don\\u2019t buy. CDs are expensive, you have to love what you spend your hard earned dollars on. Bought these five for about $130 w/ taxes:

"In The House: Little Louie Vega" mixed by Little Louie Vega. I lent this double mixed cd to a good friend (another DJ) a few weeks after buying it, and haven\\u2019t seen it since. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! I hope you feel guilty. It\\u2019s fine, we\\u2019ll still be friends, just give it back please\\u2026

"Asa Breed" by Matthew Dear. Great techy tracks.

"Release Yourself" mixed by Roger Sanchez. The \\u201cS\\u201d Man, NUFF SAID!

"Bring Enough To Spill Some\\u201d mixed by Chuck Love. WOW! This guy\\u2019s music is CRAZY!

\\u201cF*** Me I\\u2019m Famous!\\u201d mixed David Guetta Not bad, like some tracks.

Listened to these for about a week, then marked all the tracks that I loved, the levels, when the vocals started, and made these two mixes. Took a few takes. I never put this much preparation into a mix, because usually just like to have fun and if it sucks, then toss it. Usually one out of 10, I keep. Hey... baseball players are making millions at 3 out of 10. One out of 10 isn\'t too bad, I guess. Also,because the tracks were from these authorized mixed cds that have been mastered professionally w/ top dollar, these two mixes by default sound amazing.\\xa0

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\\xa0
