b'We are still coming with many recordings from our Unison 4 event but this week, we are bringing you a brand new 2-hour mix from Guesthouse Music\'s DJ Mes recorded live at Classics 2020!\\n\\nAbout DJ Mes:\\nDJ Mes | Guesthouse Music | Oakland, CA \\u2028 \\u2028Bay-Area bred DJ Mes (Jason Sutton) rarely slows his groove. Since the 2004 inception of his Oakland-based label, Guesthouse Music, Mes has produced a prolific\\u202fcatalogue\\u202fof bass-heavy tracks that have scorched dance floors amid the ebb and flow of electronic music. As a\\u202fDJ, his sets have inspired; as a producer, his montage of disco-dredged beats meld bump with rhythm and bass to create\\u202fhot\\u202fbuzz in front of and beyond the speakers. In 2011, Traxsource honored Mes with the top spot on a list of 100 best house tracks of 2011 following the release of the bumpy Chicago-sound behind "Fools Gold" (Cajual Recordings).\\u202f \\n\\nMes\\xb7 career dates back to the\\u202fmid-1990s,\\u202fwhen the future producer took early influence from the likes of DJ Dan (Funky\\u202fTech no\\u202fTribe) and Tony Hewitt (Tango Recordings). Some two decades later, it would be DJ Dan who would join the talent ranks of Guesthouse\\u202fMusic, Mes\' genre-defying imprint that earned him notoriety beyond numerous festival appearances, club residencies, and as co-founder of Daddy\'s Records (1996). Unlike previous endeavors,\\u202fGuesthouse bloomed as a personal and creative project inspired by the underground house community that embraced the sound in the U.S. and overseas. While Mes continued releasing tracks on acclaimed labels such as Casual, Relief, Glasgow Underground and Salted, it is his own Guesthouse Music that set the pace, approaching 600 releases-including 50 vinyl releases-since its inception. \\u2028 \\n\\nMes\' ear for talent led to the unveiling of some of the most successful names in underground house,\\u202fincluding breakout artists of 2011, J Paul Getto, who scaled the charts of Traxsource with "Need More Music" and "Paris Fried Chicken" Boundary-bending producers, such as Gramphonedzie, and classic acts, such as Cosy Creatures and The Sound Republic, exploded onto the scene under Mes\\xb7 own A&R moxie. Even while he introduced new DJs and producers to audiences, he continued creating his own body of\\u202fboompty\\u202fsounds.\\u202f \\n\\nWhile Mes looks ahead for talent, he creatively nods to sounds that inspired him to slide behind the decks more than 16 years ago. In 2011,\\u202fMes followed up his seminal "Fools Gold" release (Cajual Recordings) with a second EP, "Town Business." "Lonley\\u202fNights," a rework of Isaac Hayes classic "I Can\'t Turn Around," climbed the underground charts alongside a remix of The Magi classic, "C\'mon Clap Your Hands." Even while maintaining a regular touring schedule throughout the U.S. and Europe, Mes continues partnering with the some of the scene\'s most lauded producers, such as DJ Sneak and his own greatest influence, DJ Dan.\\u202f \\n\\nIn December 2011, Mes and Guesthouse created another piece of house music history by releasing their 100th track, "3000" (J Paul Getto). For Mes, it marks the beginning of another phase of underground house evolution.\\u202fAdds Mes: "I\'m always working to sign new or undiscovered music and talent to the label, and maybe even throw a curve ball to startle people with a new, unexpected style or sound. It\'s what it\'s all about."\\u202f \\n\\nBass. Beats. Funk. That\'s what Mes is all about! \\n\\nCheck our more from DJ Mes here:\\nsoundcloud.com/dj-mes\\nsoundcloud.com/guesthousemusic\\nwww.facebook.com/DJMesOfficial/\\nwww.facebook.com/GuesthouseMusicOffical/\\nwww.traxsource.com/artist/9811/dj-mes'
