WILD! | Music For Late-Nite People

WILD! is our latest Peak Hour set, featuring the best in alternative dance music for those who love to sweat it out on the club floor until dawn.
I'm going to be honest: the entire dance music scene is in flux right now. Genre lines are blurring, creating chaos for DJs trying to curate balanced sets. While I'm adaptable, the rapid changes are working my last nerve.
We've always avoided Dubstep and Drum & Bass due to their mixing challenges and overall intensity. Most listeners don't want an entire set of either genre. This left us with Tech House, Breaks, Bass House, and Techno as our primary sources for the Peak Hour series.
Tech House used to be the glue that held all these sets together, but it's undergoing a similar transformation to Afro House—becoming more commercial and less dancefloor-oriented. The influx of Latin House and commercial tracks itno the genre makes finding genuine Tech House a daunting task. Some tracks now fit better in our Funky House series.
The term "Melodic House and Techno" is misleading. These genres are vastly different. A prime example is "See You Sweat" by Max Styler and GENESI, a Techno-Tech House hybrid that's currently #1 on the Beatport Melodic House and Techno chart. I almost overlooked it because Melodic House doesn't typically fit our Peak Hour vibe.
Breaks and Bass House have been particularly disappointing lately, offering little to work with. It's been a frustrating process.
I've reworked this set three times, digging deep for the right tracks and cutting out what didn't work. While most of it is solid, the overall joy of creating these sets has diminished. I'm considering taking a break from this series and collecting tracks I love over the next several months for a future set as opposed to jumping right in and scooping up a bunch of great songs to include that just aren't there. The time commitment to curate a set while sifting through hundreds of weekly releases is unsustainable.
Ultimately, I hope this set delivers. Please let me know your thoughts.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Back Into the Deep

Back by popular uh, request ...the Deep Edition is getting a new life in the form of the Deep Sessions.
When I dropped this popular series back in 2009, it had transitioned into the System Edition as the musical landscape was becoming more obtuse, electronic and frankly (IMHO) difficult to enjoy. Ultimately, I dropped it altogether.
The original series actually started out as a mish-mash of Soulful house, Deep House, Tech House, Minimal and Electronica depending on what was left over from previous sets. At its peak, the genres began to taper down to more Deep House and Tech House, which is what moved so many of you, that still have fond memories and long for those days.
I've always said that music (especially house music) is cyclical. A certain style is in vogue one day and the next day it's out, then bounces back again a decade or so later. Witness the rise of NuDisco, which is nothing more than modern-day version of its parent Disco. The same can be said for Deep House and Tech House. Those genres really had moved away from their roots (or evolved if you will) but now appear to be swinging back around.
I do believe I've captured the feel and spirit of those earlier sets with Back Into the Deep but I'll let you folks decide if I move forward with this new incarnation.
In the interim, I have fully re-instated the back catalog for the Deep Edition for premium subscribers, though some of the earlier versions had two sets in one post, in which case I made the first set available for free and the second strictly for premium members. You'll have to figure it out on your own because the posting format that I used in the early days was a bit convoluted.
Anyway, let me know what you think. The success or failure of this series is solely dependent on YOU; so make your voice heard or it will be back to the dustbin of history once again.
I'll be back tomorrow with some cool funky house for ya. Until then ...ENJOY!
