Dat: For me house music is an escape vehicle from the things that don't excite me about my life or stresses me out, so in those pockets of time that I spend related to house/ DJing, I enjoy it that much more. House Music is therapeutic in that it relaxes me. Other guys love sports, or are zoned out to TV. I don't care for that stuff.
Imprinted, MixOne and Two are filled with tracks bought from Beatport.com. Techy, minimal, but still funky with fat house basslines and crisp high hats. Very little vocals on these two mixes aside from the dubby vocal washes and tracks with repetitive one liners.
Or I could be wrong, less than usual, I should say. I love vocals laced into cool house instrumentals, because I don't believe you remember an hour of pounding tech and minimal house by itself. I am not criticizing, don't misunderstand. I love listening to top techhouse DJs like Alland Byallo and have a ton of tech and minimal house.
But if they were layered with hot vocals, then the tech and minimal house will invigorate the vocals, making them that much better and exciting, and the vocals will imprint a positive memory of the mix into the listener's minds. That's why you can play one bar of a classic house track and the HouseHeadz will start singing. HOUSE KARAOKE.
No one remembers a instrumental. People don't ask DJs: "What's that song that goes BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, WAHHH, DUCKP, UMPH???" They don't ask because they don't care.
I love the feel of this mix. Charging and aggressive without being annoying/ irritating. You don't have to play hard and abrasive music to have a harder feel.
