dattrax: A friend of a friend that I recently met, Chris Z. went on a trip to Hong Kong in the summer and posted this image on Facecrack that he took at a party. I asked for his permission to use it. Thanks again Chris!

Read the sign, it\'s the best ever! Love it because it has happened or will happen to every House DJ out there when you spin at every crappy venue just to hear your music LOUD.\\xa0
So funny. I saw Karizma on a youtube vid talk about people requesting stuff when you are deep into a house mixing fever. (Karizma btw... is a wicked DJ. Saw him for the first time in Toronto a few months ago. He cut up some double tracks. Tight. Can\'t wait to put his remix of Cajmere\'s "Brighter Days", feat. Dejae\'s on a new mix. Have had it for months now.. can\'t wait! His treatment kept all the elements of the original- but he 2011\'ed it with crisp hi-hats and tight kick drums.)

As amazing as house music is... the feeling, the ear to ear grin of dancing to an awesome mix, the instant connection with other House Fiends- most regular folks don\'t know what it is. They only know what is prevalent in music videos, movies, etc. People know what they know from what is fed to them. (btw...House is not that euro crap on some TV shows and commercials.)\\xa0

Just recently met on FB, Stas Shiprinksi, who is one of my favourite house producers right now. When I first heard his tracks on Traxsource... WOW!! Bought 8 of his tracks in 20mins of listening to his catalogue.\\xa0

I told him that he makes House Grooves, not house beats- that there are lots of producers that just make house beats. (You can listen to a ton of his tracks in the mixes below like "THE DEPTH FIELD" & "DIRECT DRIVE". Better yet, go to traxsource and type in his last name.)\\xa0

What\'s the difference? The difference is that with house beats you wouldn\'t pay money for them and with house grooves- you happily dish out your cash and you get HAPPY on the spot. Chills run down your spine, your chin starts bobbing, feet start tapping and you pump your fist in the air almost cheering. Can\'t explain that feeling to non-house lovers... that\'s why you gotta love this sign.

About this mix:
Super HOTTTTT!!!!! GREENSKEEPERS\' cover of the Steve Miller band\'s "Abracadabra" remixed by John Larner, and SOUL CLAP\'s incredible remix treatment of RAZE\'s "Break 4 Love" (dub & vocal mix)- WOW!! Reviving a house anthem that has survived for decades. They made this track current yet giving us the same feel and kept all the cool parts of the original.\\xa0

AND TONS of wicked house tunes for your enjoyment! Burned through 35+ tracks in 77mins here.
