Episode 186: Surrender » strictly house music
2025/01/05
Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides. Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
I'm an old Chinaman who loves house music.
I don't know shit. I know me.
What I love and don't.
What I am and not.
Unapologetically me.
I've learned a shit ton from bad people, from great and loving people and from the mistakes that I've made.
That I own 100% along the way in this journey of life. Lessons from examining my past.
Let's change what we can and discard the rest.
One thing at a time. One problem at a time.
The battles each day are NOT with the dumb motherfuckers trying to crush you.
Thinking that you are weak. Mistaken your kindness as such.
They are insignificant. Ignore them.
The real battle is against ourselves and in our minds and hearts.
We have to be our best cheerleader. Not critic. Not judge.
We mess up. Fine. Accept the responsibility and concequences.
Fuck it. It's over. Next.
Negative people. Don't waste any energy on them. Their struggle is on infinite loop.
Feel sorry for them.
Ignore their ignorant beings.
Enlightenment isn't for them.
We celebrate life.
Restoration.
Reconciliation.
Love.
Achievement.
Health.
Wealth for our loved ones and our communities.
We brighten up and encourage those who we get the privilege to touch every day
Happy 2025!!!
Let's fucking go!!!
Enjoy yourself Maddafrackers.
Relish and cherish every fucking moment .
These are my Chinese fortune cookies for today.For YOU. Much love and respect.
Thank you for checking out this mix. I appreciate you. You could have chosen to spend your time anywhere else you'd like. Thank you. All the best to you.
Cheers

dattrax: Welcome my Fellow House Fiends to where house music resides. Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
This mix took forever. Geez. I just couldn't get it right. The way that I wanted it to feel. This is the seventh attempt. Yes, LMAO. I cheated too. I stitched half of the 6th attempt with a new 40mins or so. LMAO.
Each attempt had great moments and then pure shit!!
I want to only post mixes that I'd want to listen to over and over again. Don't want throwaway mixes that no one gives a shit about. There's a beauty in this art form. The ultimate form of self expression. You can feel a DJ's energy and emotions.
I feel the same way about DJ'ing live. Which is completely different than making a mix BTW.
I'd rather have 30 people who love dancing to house music in front of me and we're making eye contact. Hi-fiving each other in the air. That's house music. I
'd rather that then be at a massive event with thousands of people where no one gives a shit if you're spinning or not.
Enough of my elitist house rant. LMAO. It's not important.
What's reallly important is what you get out of a mix.
Just at the end of this mix, did you enjoy yourself? Did you smile? Did you forget your troubles for an hour or so?
If so, then my mission is accomplished.
House music Baby. It heals. Washes. Refreshs. Renew. So you can go do life struggles and triumphs again 💜
Thank you for checking out this mix. I appreciate you. You could have chosen to spend your time anywhere else you'd like. Thank you. All the best to you.
Cheers

dattrax: Welcome my Fellow House Fiends to where house music resides. Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
We're moving into the cooler autumn in Toronto, Canada. How's the weather in your location?
I've told some friends last weekend that I wish that I could quit this addiction/obession. Really. Truthfully. I'd love to be able to quit.
Just bought 64 new tracks from Traxsource. I'm 50 years young, but should've been done with DJ'ing, going dancing to house music, buying house music decades ago. LMAO.
This addiction drives me mad and yet has been so therapeutic, so wonderful. Mixed feelings.
It is what it is. Although I wish that I could be normal and just golf, fish or collect stamps, any other 'normal' man's hobby. Geez.
The most beautiful house music is being created today. Took me weeks to find these new 64 gems. Less than half are in this new mix that you're about to experience. Mixed with a few gems that came to mind. Good house music is timeless.
I've heard this mix two times and going on a third today. I FREAKING LOVE IT. LOVED MAKING IT. This is one of my best works. My hope is that you love listening and dancing to this.
I hope that I can give you this two hour escape from whatever is stressing you, so that this beautiful music can refresh you.
Then you can tackle the obstacle that is in your way to attaining your objectives.
I hope that you win the battles in your mind each day and then move forward with improving yourself, your life and all the lucky humans that cross your path. That's my Chinese fortune cookie for you. Lol
Cheers

dattrax: Welcome my Fellow House Fiends to where house music resides. Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
It's chilly AF here in Toronto, Canada as we're in our Autumn season. Thank you for stopping by and giving this new mix a listen. Much appreciated.
Here's a little something I wrote for myself, but want to share with you. Hope it brightens your day along with this new mix.
"Who knows why we are dealt the cards that we have gotten?
Some are good cards, some are blessed.
Some are poor all the way to horrific.
Some rare encouraging people in our lives will tell us that we're special. That we are destined to do good.
That we matter.
Some tell us that we're nothing. Don't deserve anything. Less than nothing.
Some will be kind to us and some will treat us with distain.
What they do to us isn't as important as how we decide to react.
At the end of the day..., more accurately...
At the beginning of each day, we decide what we are.
A chance to forgive ourselves and move forward.
We decide to let go or to hold on.
We decide on which thoughts to entertain and which to discard.
We decide if we're going to be a victim or a volunteer.
Each day is a new opportunity to reinvent ourselves.
A wasted life or one that brings sunshine into each person that we encounter.
We decide which choices to make. Which actions to take.
We decide to start now or to put it off.
To fight or make peace.
We decide what we think, how we feel, what we do and who we are.
We can decide who we want to become.
Are we better than we were before? Than yesterday?"
Well..., that's my Chinese fortune cookie for the day. All the best to you. I hope that you win the battles in your mind each day and then move forward with improving yourself, your life and all the lucky humans that cross your path.
Cheers

Coming out of the vaults...
This is a test session from 2009 that I'm posting. It has no rhyme or reason. LMAO.
It's not how I'd do it now, but... I was 35 yrs old when I made this.
I'm 50 now, so that's 15yrs ago. I have no idea what I was thinking when I made this.
House music is felt. Not explained. Enjoy or not. All the best to you and those you love.

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome my Fellow House Fiends to where house music resides. House music is so beautiful. It either grabs you or it doesn't. Doesn't need explaining or convincing. You feel it in your gut, you smile uncontrollably and you want to put your hands in the air or dancing.
I've loved house music since I was 15yrs old. DJ'ing and starting buying vinyl records at 18. I'm 50 now and just bought 20 new tracks for this new session. It took over a month to hunt down these 20 that move me. After I waited for the 20% discount code that https://www.traxsource.com/ emails me as a subscriber. Then I listened to this batch for 2-3 days.
House music is my #1 hobby, artistic outlet, therapeutic sandbox and emotional release. Anything to do with it. Finding/hunting for tracks, listening to mixes to be inspired, learn and enjoy. Mixing tracks that move me and dancing. I have rules there, so that I'm in maximum enjoyment and peace.
I make my mixes for me. Second, for my best friend, Jimmy.
Anyone else who likes or enjoys it is gravy—a bonus.
I hope that this session will put a smile on your face and brighten your day. All the best to you. Thank you for choosing to listen to this new session.
Cheers

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Headz!! Ready for a new sonic excursion?
How are things in your corner of the world? Are you kicking butt in all your endeavours? Are you staying positive despite challenging circumstances and people? Hi-five to you!! Let's escape a little through soul-refreshing house music.
I loved making this mix. It took almost 3wks to prep 200 or so tracks for this mix. Then I dwindled it down to 120 or so.
I was dancing and mixing through 66 tracks in almost 3hrs.
Topic detour: As a 50yr old single/divorced man who has four wonderful children with the love of his life for 24yrs, I've had some interesting life experiences. 20yrs before dating her and the last almost 7 years not married to her.
A decade as a crazy restaurant manager in a downtown Toronto hotspot. DJ'ing for 35yrs or more. Working in digital marketing for 17yrs and specifically as an SEO and SEM manager for 14yrs out of those 17.
I REALLY REALLY wish that I learned these few gems at 12yrs old. No one teaches boys anything useful about girls. When you ask men of varying ages what their main challenges are, what do they say? Money or women.
Life-Saving Advice for 12yr old Boys & Beyond"Watch where you put your signature or your dick.""Don't go after another man's wife.""Don't cum where you eat.""Don't fuck crazy."Did you laugh? Funny because they're true.
That was my Chinese fortune cookie for you today.
All the best to you.
Cheers,
dattrax

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Seekers!! Thank you for taking us for a spin. We appreciate you.
How have you been? Good and bad things happened in your life?
Be your best cheerleader. Fight and win the daily battles in your mind. You are your competition. Trying to better the older version of you.
I think about all the house music DJs that I love to dance to in this great city; they're all different. I think about my DJ gigs, many of them are very different.
I feel like dancing to some tracks. To some moments. I don't feel like it other times.
Because I love dancing, I know what I want. When I'm DJ'ing, I'm giving myself what I want when I'm dancing. Have fun and play what moves you. Some will love it, some won't. No big deal.
As long as we 100% only play tracks that MOVE us. We'll be fine.
My friend, Caco gave this mix's name: "Sound Hug Yaa-uuM" He said that some tracks feel like they're reaching out to hug him. I thought that this is a wonderful description of great house tracks. They hug you in sound and emotions.
Just a few thoughts to share with you. Thank you for listening to this mix.
Have a great week. I hope you crush everything you want to accomplish. All the best to you.
Cheers, dattrax

I hope that all is well in your corner of the world. Thank you for taking a listen to our brand of house music. [We've loved this special art form since we were 15yrs old and now 50. We've gone past the stage where people might ask, 'Aren't you too old for...' by decades. LMAO].
There are dozens of house DJs that I listen to, so I know that choice is abundant, so I appreciate it when someone would take time from their lives to check out a mix.
It makes me happy thinking about people smiling and bopping their heads while driving or walking their doggies or working out or cleaning their homes to our mixes or any other activity.
Till Next Time.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fiends. Welcome to where house music resides.
I'm a fanatic when it comes to work » SEO (and other digital marketing and business areas) and play » house music. I think obsessive-compulsive is the term that therapists would use. Add to that, I don't sleep. LMAO.
I've loved house music since I was 15, and at 50, it still endlessly fascinates me. House music is a unique art form, and how each DJ can express themselves is endless in the possibilities. Whether I'm hunting for the goosebumps tracks that move me, listening to mixes, mixing or dancing to it. It relaxes me and does so much more for me.
When it stops being fun, then I'll quit. I've been too old for this for decades.
Do you have a passion in your life, like music or another art form? The ability to express yourself through your passion is a powerful life-affirming gift. If you can earn a living from that, then you're truly winning in life.
Releasing negative emotions through a medium that we can use to work through our thoughts and feelings, that energy transfer is both therapeutic and transformative. Turning stress, pain or joy into something beautiful for someone else to enjoy. Nothing quite like that.
That's my Chinese fortune cookie for the day. Now to some sweet sounds of the underground » 31 Tracks in 1hr and 38mins!!!
All the best to you and those you hold dear.
Cheers,
dattrax

Episode 176: Sound Language » Strictly House Music
2024/07/18
Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fanatics. Ready for a new mix? This is a deep house exclusive, a bit different than the usual dattrax sound. If you love house, then I'm hoping this puts a smile on your face and make your body shake while you're trying to restrain yourself because you're not at a house music party. LMAO.
One electronic music producer who worked for a year at 7West named David, and Favian who's a great friend and a talented house head DJ and producer, both have said that the house music tracks that I spin are usually all made with minor keys. Favian said that these are the sad/melancholy sounds. Very cool. You learn something every day.
Remember Kids, from Uncle Yellow Hat to you: "Win the battles in your head with yourself each day. You decide to be happy and stop talking negative to yourself. Be your best cheerleader. Take one day at a time with your best efforts. Dump and forget any bad shit because it's the past. Nothing you can do about it. Dance to some house music to wash away any pain. Be refreshed. Be of good cheer. Carry on with what makes you alive and happy." That's my Chinese fortune cookie for you. All love and respect to a fellow house fan.
All the best to you and till the next time. We have over 180 mixes here. Please check some out.
Cheers,
dattrax

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fanatics. Did you have a tough week? Let some fantastic house tracks wash all that away. Even if only for a few hours.
This long weekend ends on Monday, July 1st as we celebrate Canada Day. Happy Canada Day Folks!!! What a wonderful country. Toronto has been my home since I was five years old escaping from Saigon, South Vietnam. I can talk about how much I love this city, this country and the people I've met along the way in the past five decades.
The house music since I was 14 or 15 that I've experienced in this city has been mind-blowing to me. It's so inspirational. House music, whether receiving it on the dancefloor or giving it out as a DJ. It's the ultimate personal expression and therapeutic outlet.
This is MixTwo of "Like a Kiss". This is a more aggressive and charging mix. MixOne is more mellow. It was soooo much fun to make. This was done in one take. MixOne took six attempts over a month and went in every direction except the vibe that I was chasing. The journey is part of the fun and discovery of this great genre of music—this beautiful art form.
Have a fantastic rest of your week. All the best to you wherever you're coming from. Thank you for stopping by and giving this mix a listen. Enjoy this ride.
Cheers,
dattrax

dattrax: Welcome to all the people out there who love house music. This is where house resides.
I just turned 50!!! Old, bald, Chinaman. but... I have loved house music since I was 15 years old. House has been an outlet for me to release ALL my negative energy... whether I'm listening to house music. Hunting, finding, mixing, dancing or enjoying house music. Talking about it with other people. Dreaming about combinations. Every track that I love. I dream of how to introduce it to people.
It's all about the combos!! Transforming the negative—anger, despair, hopelessness—and turning that energy into something beautiful, something that will make you smile.
As you smile, you have a vivacious spark that grows into something good. Because we all need a little encouragement, we all have dreams and plans.
We want to design our lives. It must first be the image in our minds in detail. Our real battles are with our minds. Stop talking bad to yourself. You fucked up. Great. It's over. Done. Forget about it. Let's dance. Love everyone. Avoid negative.
That's my Chinese fortune cookie rant for you. Much love, dattrax.
I mixed and danced my heart out on this one—almost five hours!!! I made some goodies for you.
Enjoy this journey. You're going to LOVE THIS!!!!!
Connect with us!!! Please tell us how you feel through these sessions.
How are you? I hope for the best for you. You can do what you want to do. Take that first step.
Thank you for listening to our house music sessions from Toronto, Canada. We are thankful for our lives and this fucking beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful, fascinating music.
Where you can take what you like and combine it with something else you like. It's beautiful. A musical collage of all the sounds that you love, mashed up in the way that you like it. There's nothing like house music. All the best to you. Massive hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love a little bit of everything. Looking to create a groove that people gravitate to each time I play. Where I'm DJ'ing to 100 people that love my choices and styles house music VERSUS 10,000 who don't give a shet about who's DJ'ing because they're there reasons beside the house music.
This mix was inspired by the mass amount of tracks that I bought from Traxsource in March. Went on a DJ bender of sorts. LMAO. This mix is so much fun.
All the best to you and till the next time.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fiends. This is where house music resides. How have you been?
“...if a painting really works down in your heart and changes the way you see, and think, and feel, you don’t think, ‘oh, I love this picture because it’s universal.’ ‘I love this painting because it speaks to all mankind.’ That’s not the reason anyone loves a piece of art. It’s a secret whisper from an alleyway. Psst, you. Hey kid. Yes you.”
Donna Tartt - The Goldfinch, 2014.
I read this and thought about how specifically art touches some and not others.
How that is okay and as it should be.
This has massive implications for any artist.
Zero pressure.
Some are drawn to your art. Your medium of choice. Your style. Your techniques. Or whatever combination.
Some aren't drawn no matter what and for whatever reason. Nothing anyone can do about it.
This also relates to a post I read a few years ago about how some people physically react to music.
Some people like me.
Also relates to two people in my life, both music producers. One was into electronic music in general, and the other into house music.
They both observed after listening to many of my mixes that most of the tracks I played were in minor keys.
I don't have any classical music training, so I asked them what that means.
Take care of yourself.
Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: WELCOME!!! I don't know if you came by accident or intention, but thank you for taking a listen to this new house music mix.
If you love house, then you'll have no regrets here. If you don't love house, then thank goodness that the internet is vast and you can always find your tribe who you can connect with and speak your language and can energize you.
There's nothing like house music for personal expression. In mixing or dancing; giving or receiving.
There's nothing more important than creating art that personally moves you.
Turning personal negative, pain, suffering or trauma energy into creative beauty.
I wish all the best in your daily lives. I hope that you love, forgive and express often.
Until the next dattrax mix is completed.
Cheers, dattrax

This puppy took three attempts. LMAO. If I could DJ a few hours per night, my skills would be better. Lol
My DJ'ing was so much better and tighter when I was young and spinning a lot.
Now, my blending is more sophisticated, but the tightness is blah.
Every one of my mixes has mistakes. It's just tolerable since I've never been able to make perfect no-mistakes sessions.
Thank you for taking this puppy for a spin. If you love house and beautiful vocals, then you'll LOVE this.
All the best to you and those you love.
Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: WELCOME FELLOW HOUSE AFICIONADOS!! This is where house music rests.
How are you doing? How's your health? Your career or business? If you're struggling, then you're definitely NOT ALONE.
The good thing is that some good house music can be a great escape. Dance a little. Walk a little to this or workout to it. Let out your stress. Then, tomorrow, you put on your best smile and attitude and battle against any negativity in your mind for another day. Decide to be your best cheerleader, and STOP talking negatively to yourself. Sorry, that's my Chinese Fortune Cookie Hi-Five and encouraging words to you. (Not sure if anyone reads my show notes. LMAO!!!!!!!) You don't want any weird opinions from a DJ right?? Of course not. Let's crank up the volume on this PUPPY!!!!!)
Thank you for dropping by and taking this recorded session for a listen. MixONE took 4 attempts because I suck and changed directions every time. LMAO. It's so much fun but also frustrating sometimes.
I really hope that you enjoy these two mixes. Fortunately, MixTWO took one attempt. Lol
Have a super day or night from wherever you're located. Thank you for listening to my passion.
Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: HIYA Fellow House FANATICS!!! Welcome to where house music resides. If you like house, you'll LOVE my recorded sessions.
I want to thank you for stopping by and trying out my mixes. I appreciate you and hope you'll enjoy listening and dancing to the house music that moves me.
Put together with love in musical collages that I create to amuse myself, fuel my curiosity and act as an outlet to work out and work through my negative thoughts and emotions. It's therapeutic,
I make each mix for two people. Myself and then for my best friend, Jimmy. If I don't love it, then delete. Back to the drawing board another time.
If Jim likes a mix, then I'm extremely happy.
When anyone else likes a mix I've made, then that's just extra blessings and more gravy on top.
"Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things."
Tom Petty
I hope that you are working to fulfill your goals and dreams. You beat or ignore any voice that seeks to be an obstacle, especially the one between your ears.
I just wanted to say that to you before my house-related rant or thoughts.
------------------------------
House has endlessly fascinated me since I was 15.
I met some friends from a high school downtown Toronto called Jarvis Collegiate through a mutual friend while I was going to one in North York called George S. Henry, which is just north of the city. (currently, North York, along with 24 other urban, suburban, and rural municipalities, is part of the "GTA" or the "Greater Toronto Area").
They loved to listen, mix and dance to house music vinyl records.
After a few records, I was hooked. This structure of four four beats with endless creative possibilities within. It was infectious. I got goosebumps. I felt something in my gut. I automatically smiled.
All the best to you. Sending you positive vibes...
Cheers, dattrax

Welcome, Dear House Music Lovers, to where the house resides. Thank you for stopping by and giving my mixes a listen.
I can't believe that it's already the end of the year. What have you learned? What are you planning for 2024?
Are you excited to dive into 2024 and accomplish your goals?
Just wanted to share three things that I've learned this year. If it can help you, then that's great. If not, then pls ignore.1) Each day, I must win the battle against the negativity drifting into my mind. I have to be my #1 cheerleader because no one else will
2) Consistency creates emotional stability on a personal level or in your team when you're a manager/leader of people
3) Identity drives behaviour. In each area of life, the image of the person I want to become makes decisions binary, yes or no, regarding choices that either move me closer to or further away from my desired identity
All the best to you in the last few days of 2023 and this coming 2024!!
Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: Welcome, Fellow House Music Aficionados!! This is where house music resides.
I make recorded mixes to satisfy my curiosity in this art form, release stress, and engage in self-therapy. But, back in the day, it was our DJ moniker back in the day, "dattrax" was for live events... We are a dynamic DJ duo hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Jim and Dat, lifelong friends since we were 16 and passionate House Fiends with over three decades of musical camaraderie, comprise us.
Our world revolves around house music and anything we love that can be mixed with house music instrumentals. Dive into our shared passion, enjoy the tunes (there are now over 160+ mixes on this site/mobile app, "Podomatic" - search for 'house music by dattrax'), and don't forget to share your thoughts after listening — your feedback is our inspiration.
In the words of our original DJ bio written a lifetime ago: "For us, house music is more than just underground dance music; it's the ultimate form of self-expression, a musical cut and paste where you craft your unique sonic journey. Choose your favourite tracks, set the pace, highlight the moments that resonate with you, EQ the sound ranges that move you and create a musical experience that's uniquely yours."
We're committed to delivering our best, investing time, energy, and love. Our discerning taste is evident in our meticulous vinyl and mp3 selection process - only buying the tracks that give us goosebumps, elicit a 'Wowzers' in our guts or make us raise our fists in the air.
Join us on this musical adventure, where the combinations are endless, the energy is infectious, and every track is chosen with care and mixed with respect to the creators of the tracks. Welcome to the dattrax sound! I wish you all the best in your corner of the world as the holiday season approaches and the possibilities of a new outcome for each of us in the new year.

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome Fellow Fans of House Music to where house resides. How are you doing? How are the many areas of your life in the part of the world where you are?
I was thinking the other day about the life of a good house music track and how many people it touches and influences. Imagine the producer who creates a track and all that it takes to accomplish that. Then, a DJ finds the track on an MP3 site to purchase or a download promo on a music platform.
Then, the DJ listens to the track repeatedly to learn about it. To funny enjoy it. Then, they mix it along with a set of tracks that they have organized for a live DJ set or a recorded mix.
Then someone listens to it. How do they feel? Where are they? Who are they with? What new memories are created? Do they share with friends on social media? Close friends? Does that track get multiple plays? Does it get experienced in different environments? Does it get consumed during various personal activities?
It's a long and beautiful journey that touches, influences and brings positive emotions to many many people.
It crosses geography, gender, race, religion and anything else that makes us different and yet we're united by a shared experience, joy and love.
All the best to you in your daily battle against the negative of your mind. May you move closer and more decisively towards your dreams and goals.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Friends. This is where house music resides.
How is life treating you? Whatever is going on... HOUSE MUSIC IS THE ANSWER.
If it's not the answer to your challenges, then it's definitely the break or escape you need.
Or a trustworthy companion through traffic, a walk with a loved one, a walk with your doggie, a couch hangout with your cat, background to some chores or errands, a walk by yourself or a workout (Or an intimate experience? Hhhmmm).
I make each mix for myself, my best friend, and live events DJ partner, Jim. Anyone else who enjoys them is a massive bonus and a happy smile maker.

Episode 161: Open to Receive » Strictly House Music

dattrax: Welcome, My Fellow House Lovers!! Welcome to where house music resides.
For me, I've always made mixes for two people: myself and my best friend and DJ partner, Jim. Anyone else likes it, and it's gravy and makes me happy. When Jim likes or loves a mix, then I'm thrilled.
If I don't love it and don't want to listen to it repeatedly, then I don't post it on my Podomatic site or share it. I'd delete it after one listen and try again another time.
Choosing House Music is only a matter of available time. As I get older, there's less time. There are levels to each craft and sections within each. You can go deeper and deeper into any endeavour.
Everything demands time to try, test/ experiment, adjust and implement. You make choices that are the best for your situation.
In 1989, I was 15 and in grade 10.
I got into house music 30+ years ago.
I started buying vinyl records and DJ'ing at 18, and it's been a lifelong addiction ever since.
I've told myself many, many times over the last 30+ years of DJ'ing that when it stops being fun, then I'll stop wasting tons of time and money on it.
This addiction to house is probably not going to leave me. I packed up my records and equipment for 2-3 years. Then I heard a house mix by a local Toronto, and it blew my mind. I jumped on to Beatport a few nights later and bought a crazy batch of tunes.
I wish you well and hope for all the best to you. Thank you for taking a listen to my sessions.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Aficionados!!!!!!! This is where house music resides.
I have an event with a few close DJ friends this Saturday and wanted to dig through and grab some unfamiliar tracks (+ some classics, like always ; ) and mix them with care and respect.
Mixing them with this autumn air feel makes us anticipate another Canadian winter (this is our natural lockdown season. LMAO). The vibe is melancholy and yet optimistic. I really hope that you enjoy it and that it brings a smile to your face and a pep in your step.
I hope that all is well with you and your life.
That you're making yourself better each day. That you're staying positive despite any circumstances piling on top of you. That you win the battles with your mind each day. Be your own best cheerleader, and stop being so hard on yourself.
That you overflow with joy when others come into contact with you. That you're pursuing your dreams and are working hard towards your goals in different areas of life; you care for your mental and physical health, and you enjoy the company of those who love you and don't judge you.
All the best to you. That's my Chinese fortune cookie greeting. Cheers, Fellow House Friends.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a listen. You are much appreciated.
Pls download the Podomatic App and enjoy over 160 house music mixes on your cell.

I have a quick hour mix for you. This was made for a guest house music show in the US, but I didn't get a response back from the guy, so here we are. It's fun with kick-ass beats layered with beautiful vocals. Enjoy this ride.
I hope all is well with you in your corner of the universe. If it's not, then start each day winning the battle against your own mind. Everything will change after that. House music will wash your blues away. Go dance with some folks. Take care of yourself. Your happiness is your #1 priority. It's vital. When you're overflowing with joy, anyone in contact with you will benefit from your energy. That's my Chinese fortune cookie for you today.

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fanatics to the place where house music resides.
I can't believe that September is almost over. Where does the time go?
I remember thinking often from age 20 and under why time was so freaking slow. Then you hit 35 and up, and time races by relentlessly. You blink, and a decade goes by.
I hope that you're setting out to accomplish your goals. That you've created a plan, put due dates on every important milestone, that you're measuring your progress, that you're rewarding yourself along the way. Over the last six years of my separation/divorce, I've had to fix different areas of my life and have new goals for the rest of 2023.
I'm only sharing with you what I do myself. We connect through house music, but we can share a word of encouragement here or there. Most people don't get any. We all need a gentle push, a hug and a hi-five occasionally.
I'm very thankful you chose to stop by and listen to my mixes. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
I hope that you enjoy this mix and come back for more. There are over 155 mixes here, and with good house music, it's timeless. If you've never heard a track, it doesn't matter how old it is because it's NEW to you. One of the beauties of house.

If you feel at home, then crank this session up and feel the passion in this short ride—techy vocals with sensual rhythms, and modern soundscapes; weaved together by beautiful transitions. The feel is light, yet DEEP as it moves you along like gentle ocean waves.
The fresh smell of autumn is in the air in Toronto. The youth are back to school. The heat is dying down. A new cycle. A refresh. A new start. A chance to reinvent ourselves.
I wish you all the best and want to share that a slight perspective change can change everything for the better.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fiends!! Welcome to where house resides.
I was a bit angry for a few days. Just a few business and personal challenges. No biggie. Life happens. I let all my negativity flow into this relentless mix. This is the most aggressive style of mixing and harder-edged house tracks that I've made in years. LMAO.
Out of negativity comes a fun mix. It's probably good for a long drive or a great workout. We all have to let out our stress and start fresh. One problem at a time. One choice at a time. One day at a time.
It takes my recent favourite tracks from the last four mixes and adds a handful of new tracks.
All the best to you, and thank you for stopping by and listening to my passion. Enjoy.

Episode 149: Expressed Heart » Strictly House Music
2023/05/20
Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Friends! How are you? Are you working to better yourself? Are you working on your happiness?
The late and great comedian and philosopher, Patrice O'Neal gave the best advice: "Your happiness should be your #1 priority." Once you take care of that or are in hot pursuit of that, then everyone you encounter will be blessed with your optimism, positivity, joy and ambition.
Fight the battles inside your mind daily. Win those battles and you'll be happy and nothing will be denied to you. Control your mind, your heart and your body and you'll change your life.
I'm taking my own advice and not just spitting nonsense. Living with a vengeance. I'm disciplining myself. Just finished a 74hrs fast. Going on a low-carb lifestyle. NOT diet, lifestyle. Going to not snack and use aggressive intermittent fasting called OMAD - One Meal A Day to work towards my goal of losing 30lbs by the end of June 2023 (We need to make goals specific, achievable and with a date). Been on a health kick since the end of Jan 2018. Going to do another 3-day fast in a few weeks. Just getting back into the swing of things.
Bought some new spring shoes, a new button-down shirt, and some other clothing items. Looking sharp when I go out. Got a fav cologne, Prada L'Homme (original) and Intense. Been using it for the past few years. Find the things that make you feel great.
Reinventing myself for work in Digital Marketing, specifically SEO. Attending networking events and engaging in daily online interactions, new and old. Daily learning more and more through blog posts, LinkedIn posts, from good friends in my Digital Marketing Mastermind in the messaging app called, Slack, and YouTube. [Yes, I've got tons of SEO & Chat GPT posts & videos marked). I"ll be up to date by the end of June].
Thanks for listening to my fortune cookie rant. Back to the house music because this is where house music rests and thrives.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a listen. I appreciate you for that.
There aren't many guarantees in life, but I guarantee that you'll LOVE this 3.5hr journey of house music bliss. You can fight it, but that smile will creep on your face and stretch from ear to ear. You'll start to nod up and down to this hypnotic rhythm. You might even move and dance.
It took over a month to find the tracks in this new session!! Bought 53 new tracks from Traxsource and got a bunch of free tracks from download links from videos by this YouTube channel that I recently found, Child of House (Check them out). Lots of cool house bootlegs, especially some fantastic Sade tracks. Anything with this Goddess sounds great with a four-four beat. Probably take another month to get through this channel's videos.
The process is all the fun. The journey in different areas of my life creates joy. It makes the struggles less painful and the good things more wonderful.
All the best to you. Till another time.

1997 at 9am on a Sunday at Comfort Zone. I was 23yrs old and 135lbs. Had a full head of hair. LMAO!!
My friend Dennis took this pic from an actual hand-held camera and not a cell phone.
We met that year when he came in on a Sunday morning at 8am from Industry Niteclub with a dozen friends. The happiest group that I had met that weekend. I was managing at 7West Cafe finishing a shift. I had been there for four years at the time. Stayed for a decade. Lol
He asked if I could play his new cassette tape by some no-name DJ from Chicago called DJ Sneak. LMAO.
I was like, "Who TF is Sneak??!". Hilarious!
(Been loving DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter and Doc Martin ever since that year).
That INSANE house music tape was the now famous "Green Bush" mix!! Sneak's first tape in Toronto I believe.
*Bought my first Derrick Carter cassette tape that year, "Dialog" - one of my fav!!
Denny and I have been friends ever since then. 26yrs have gone by in a flash. Just reconnected in July of 2018.

Episode 148: Housin' Policies » Strictly House Music

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: What's going on in your world Fellow House Lovers??!! Welcome to the place where house music rests.
I hope that all is well with you and your life. That you stay positive and win the tiny battles in your mind for your benefit. That you are striving to improve each day. Working and grinding at your passions. Discarding or displacing any negative thoughts or people. Surrounded by people who love and don't judge you. But they check you when you're going off the rails. You can't just do anything, right? LMAO. That's my Chinese fortune cookie for today.
I hope that you enjoy this mix and that it puts a smile on your face and a bounce in your steps. Thank you for stopping by and giving us a listen. We really really appreciate you.
The Podomatic dashboard analytics say that our mixes are being listened to and downloaded by thousands all over the world. We move from #7 to #35 in just the house music category in Podomatic and I believe that's over 6,000 house music podcast creators. Thank you for helping us with that.
This mix starts off with much more aggressive energy. You'll feel like you just entered the club at the height of the party. [The playlist needs some scrolling down these show notes].
Felt like a more thumpin' mix. I usually like a smooth journey from mellow to wherever I'd like to go and end up, but wanted something different for this one.
This is a short but sweet mix. Just an hour and 8mins (not like the 3-4hr excursions I've been taking the last few years to release all the negativity from my mind, heart, and body).
[I was getting myself into the mood since I was hours from DJing a private BDay party of a Toronto chef and now a friend, Jo Castrinos. WOWZERS. What a party!! Incredible event space and crowd!! I spun for 3.5hrs!!]
I had to cut off the last track short because of a major trainwreck. LMAO. Yes, not DJing too frequently over the last 6mths and it's something I need to do 3X's per week in order to stay sharp.
We're fanatics when it comes to house music. Ever since I was 15yrs old. Started buying vinyl records at 18. 36 crates of records later, then moved to almost 8,000 digital tracks. Compulsive and obsessive? Definitely. Enjoy my passion over the last 30+yrs. It keeps me young and I'd probably give young house DJs a run for their money. Ha ha ha.
All the best to you and to your continued success or your progress toward your comeback (I'm working on my comeback from a really shitty 2022).
If you're new to our brand/style of house music, then I'd recommend these 7 mixes as an intro. There are 145+ mixes on this site. The music is fresh as we've always bought cutting-edge sounds in multiple genres of house music. We love to listen, spin and dance to what's great in house, regardless of groupings. I still buy 30-60 tracks per month. Yes, still addicted to house music at 49yrs old. LMAO

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Luvers!! I'd love the opportunity to take you on a short hour-long ride. This session is filled with gorgeous vocals with Afro-Tech vibes, some alternative techy vocal tracks, some classic house re-rubs with fresh & modern instrumentals, and a few covers or house bootlegs of popular songs.
This session was finished after two attempts at the end of July 2022 and was never released. It was for my friend, Andrew's internet show with a South African audience. We've chatted and I'll be making a special session for this June's release on his show.
He shared that his fanbase is more interested in Toronto house music classics from 1985-2008 or so. I'll be obliging with some special re-rubs and a few new tracks to give it the right feel. I'm honoured to be invited and am very interested in the responses from them.
I hope that you've been well and are living each day with purpose and positivity. I hope that you're surrounded by those who love you, know you, don't judge you, and support you. I hope that you're enjoying the spring weather and are bathing in that beautiful sunshine.
Thank you for stopping by to where house lives. Let these sounds bathe you in joy and happiness. Let the music move you. Until another time dear friends. Ciao from your friendly neighbourhood Chinaman.
Image Credit: Thank you to my oldest daughter, Grace for this super cute sketch. I added a filter for the background colour. I'm so proud. She's such a wonderful young woman. I'm so thankful to her and her three siblings. They're the best part of my life.

dattrax: Hiya Fellow House Music Lovers. Welcome and thank you for checking in and taking this mix for a ride. Welcome to where house music lives. Obsessive is putting it mildly how I feel about house music. LMAO.
Last week, I decided to book 5hrs @ctrlroom (my pals, Hubert and Ian's DJ studio - https://www.youtube.com/@CtrlroomCa/videos in the 'Junction' area in Toronto) and invited a bunch of friends old and new to DJ and dance together on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Turning 49 last Sunday would've been crap if I was home alone.
What a party we had. It was wonderful and beyond fun. It made me so happy to see so many old friends and met a few new ones. We danced, drank, talked, hugged, and laughed. Everything house music is about.
Good friends and good music, what more can I ask? I'm very thankful. I've been the happiest in a very long time.
It's been the most challenging last 15mths, but moments like this make all the shitty times worth it.
---------------
Whatever you're going through. Hang on. Stay positive. This too will pass. Go to your happy place. Displace the negative in your mind. Don't fight it. Just replace it.
Music, friends, writing, reading, long walks with your doggie, whatever you do that makes you calm and happy. Go do it. Each day is a new opportunity to write a different chapter in our lives.
My favourite quote that has held me through many dark times. May it encourage you:
"Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit." - Napolean Hill
I want the best for you. But you have to decide to be happy. Thank you so much for joining me for the next three and a half hours. I'm going to take you through some of my favourite house tracks. Some may be new to you or some may bring back some great memories. I just want to put a smile on your face and take you away for a little while.
---------------
Thank you to my friend, Jonathan for introducing me to "Go Deep". We heard it in his car after an amazing GUS Crew party a few weeks back. Such a gorgeous track from beginning to end. Masters at Work (Little Louie Vega & Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez) has ruled the Toronto house scene for three decades. Every good house DJ has a few dozen MAW records in their collection.
Thank you to my friend, Davidson for introducing me to "Girls Like That!". Soooooooooooo good!! What a fun and funky and bumpy track with vocal snippets that sound like some old Barbera Tucker tracks.
The last track is "Gabriel" and is for my friend, Marcus' daughter, and for another special someone. Both are named Gabriela.
Probably anyone over 40yrs and who lives in Toronto knows this beautiful track from 1996 by Roy Davis Jr and featuring the incredible vocals of Peven Everett.

dattrax: HiYaAAA Fellow Underground House Heads!! Welcome to the place where House Music lives.
Thank you for taking a listen to one of our mixes. We hope that you like it and if you do, then pls check out some of the others. Over 145 mixes from 45mins to over 4hrs for some. Sooooooooo many house tracks that are gems that you've NEVER heard before.
House is so unique, if you haven't heard it, then it's 'new' to you. So many of the good tracks out there are timeless. It's so different than popular music that is time specific.
How have you been? How is your main work? Profession? Business? Side hustle? How is your physical and mental health? How are your relationships? Are you pursuing your passions or curiosities? I wish all the best to you and what you choose to do with your life.
I just live my life the best that I can have to deal with tons of challenges just like you, and let out any negativity and positivity into my mixes (so that I don't let it out on people), either LIVE in front of a dancing crowd or when crafting these specific mixes. It's therapy to let out all that's pent up. Hopefully, something beautiful comes out of that expression. Listening to, buying, mixing, dancing, and talking to people who love house music makes me happier.
I make these mixes for myself and my best friend, Jimmy. Then if anyone else enjoys them, then that's an added bonus. Let us know if our mixes make you smile or have improved your day. House Music is the answer to many woes and blues.
The official spring day was Mon, Mar 20, 2023, however, for Toronto, Ontario, Canada, it's just starting to be above zero degrees Celsius recently. So happy about the extra sunshine. It'll help everyone better their moods and power them with much-needed vitamin D.
If you're ever visiting Toronto, then two things to keep in mind -
ONE: there are freaking incredible restaurants of every cuisine on every corner that you can possibly imagine, so don't travel while holding any dieting resolutions &
TWO: June to August is the best weather, around 20 - 28 degrees Celsius.
There might have a bunch of days above 30 in August and a few below 20 in June. Any other time, it's shit. However, May and Sept are cool and sweet, but not vacationing weather. AVOID the harsh weather from mid-Nov till mid-Apr. LMAO. (This two-minute skit from comedian, Jim Carrey is funny about our weather).
Recorded in Toronto, Ontario, Canada:
Decided to make a mix at my pal Stephen's place, so just set up my DJ controller and laptop on his kitchen counter. Wanted to hang out in private with my friend and my doggie, Tommy, and let just loose, mix these new tracks, dance a little, and experience these new tracks LOUD on his fantastic speaker system.

dattrax: Happy Friday Fellow House Affectianados!! Welcome to the place where house music lives and reigns.
Booked a few hours at my pals', Hubert K and Ian Moore's studio, CTRL Room [Check out their YouTube channel » over 700 videos of Toronto's finest DJs and tons of out of town guests] for a DJ session so that I can spin some new tracks that I recently bought from Traxsource. Love the 30% off discount that they email once per month. It almost makes up the difference between Canadian to US dollars. (Still a ton cheaper than what Jimmy and I used to spend on vinyl records for ONE cut). I don't miss the vinyl days, but I'll skip that rant ; )
Got into many rabbit holes recently on Traxsource, spending too much time in that app. There is soooooooooooooo much incredible house music being created from around the world. So sweet that I've played a new fav vocal twice in this mix. I also played a dubby track twice, but that was by mistake. I was looking for a different dubby track by 'Made by Pete'. LMAO.
Not much to say on my end. 2022 was shit for me, so just trying to pick up the pieces, get my head screwed on straight and get back on my feet this year + attempting to reinvent myself again for work/money. Shit happens, but we have to stay positive and control what we can. The rest, disregard and discard.
I know that you have struggles, challenges, and trauma. I know that you can pull through and evolve into the best version of yourself that is possible. Just need a good attitude, good inputs, focus on the good, and some elbow grease.
I wish you a happy life where you succeed in the manner that you define and desire and that you're surrounded by people who love you and support you when you're down. We all need some encouragement. A few lines in a text, a video chat or phone call, breaking some bread together, or one of my favs... going to dance to some good house music together. Until the next mix Ladies & Gents, all the best to you.
"The daily battle starts and ends in our minds." There's some more Chinese fortune cookie goodness for you.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fiends!! Been dancing lately? It's soooooo therapeutic. For me, at least once a month to let out all my work and life stress. Sweat it out with great music and friendly faces. There's nothing quite like it. Or dance while walking your doggie as I've done almost daily. Listening to house, hunting for the goose bump making tracks, mixing it, hearing it loud, and dancing to it. Takes the blues away.
Wherever you are. Be who you are. It's good and you'll feel better. Those that don't connect with you, no worries. Move along. Like recognises like.
I recently DJ'ed a party at a veteran's club called, The Owl's Club [847 Dovercourt Rd, Toronto, ON M6H 2X4 (North of the Bloor St W Subway Station] in the west end of Toronto on Sat, Feb24th, 2023. It was my first live DJ gig since before the crazy virus lockdowns in Toronto, so first event in over 3yrs. The pent-up and chained house music animal was released!! LMAO!!
The Owl's Club is a wonderful place filled with friendly people and staff. I've been there 4-5 times before (they had a fun Karaoke night that was jammed packed and had lots of one-off events), and was introduced to it by my pal, Stephen. I became friends with the vocal and guitar lead of a talented and diverse rock fusion band called Zombie Karaoke Santa. Here's a sample of Gary's band's great music.
The final 15mins of three single-track encores were not recorded. The first hour wasn't added to the beginning of this mix because it was too similar to this test mix that became, "Fallin' into Focus". I made that a few days prior to this party when I was trying out all the new 54 tracks that I bought a few weeks ago from Traxsource. For this party, I only played a handful of those new tracks.
This mix, "As We Are" is the 2nd half and the last two hours of the party after ZKS' great performance of about 10 original tracks and 2 cover versions (1.5hrs). See their IG.
My pal, Paul was turning 51, so he invited a dozen of his friends. Guess what??!! They were all old house heads, so they went wild over the 80's pop and classic house Re-Rubs [circa 1985-1995 is "classic house" to Jim and me. It's a different period depending on when people first got hooked on house music].
We had over a dozen more people who showed up for ZKS and to dance to house music. Even my cousin, Jenny came and had fun. It was the first time we ever hung out at a house music event. It was such a wonderful time creating new memories!!

Image Credit: My pal, Stephen took this cool pic and I just used this free phone app called, "Prisma" to add a bunch of filters. Then just chose the version that I liked the most for this cover art.

Definition of a dattrax "Re-Rub" » Taking a favourite track, either a classic house track or an 80's pop track or any... Then mixing it on top of a recent/newer house music instrumental in order to freshen it up and give the original track a more modern feel. Good for people like me who don't know how to read music, play any instruments + do not produce any original house tracks.
Jim and I used to make these at live events. Then I started to make them separately and then play them at live events. People love them because it's familiar and yet different. I've made over in the early years and over 60 new Re-Rubs over the last few years.

dattrax: Well... in Toronto, Ontario, Canada spring is just around the corner. We had an extremely mild winter. Just 3-4 snow storms. I hope that the weather and life have been treating you well wherever you are in the world.
Welcome, dear House Friends. Welcome to a place where house music lives. Jim, my best friend, and DJ partner have loved house music since we were 15yrs. We're almost 50 and are DEFINITELY too old to be doing this (listening, buying, mixing, and dancing to house music), but it's very therapeutic, makes us happy, makes us feel young again + hopefully makes a few people happy along the way.
I make all the mixes [except for "Visits", which Jim mixed the 2nd half], and Jim joins me in live DJ events. He's an incredible house DJ and an even more amazing friend. He loves me without judgment and knows about all the dumb shit I've done in my life.
Life has been very interesting the last year. "Interesting" or "different" is code for a laundry list of unfortunate events. Getting kicked in the teeth has not been new to me over the last five years.
I heard a podcast where this billionaire was talking about how he kept pressing on and kept working despite his entire life crumbling around him. He said that he had people coming into his apartment repossessing appliances, etc and he was at his desk and just kept on working. This gave me much hope to make massive changes this year.
I have a good friend who has been building his 7th business for the last few years and finally will have massive success. His biz is growing like crazy and he now has two dozen full-time employees. This man is such a winner. I draw strength and inspiration when I think of him. We met when I was my bartender/waiter for a place that I managed. Then we did a few years of door-to-door & telephone prospecting in the B2B payment processing industry for various companies in Toronto. Then I became his right-hand man for three of his companies.
This quote's power has kept me going through tough times throughout my 48yrs of existence » "Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit."
Napoleon Hill
Unless I'm in jail, physically handicapped by disease or any variation of that, then I believe that I can still wash & shave each day, block out negative thinking, put a smile on my face, have a good attitude, have the willingness to learn, connect with people that energize me and move forward.
I'm sharing this with you to let you know that others are struggling just like you. Just want to offer some encouragement. We all need it. There is hope out of your despair.
We can connect and enjoy music together and all improve our lives. When we improve our minds and lives, then everyone we touch in the process will benefit. Paying it forward is a natural extension of a content, optimistic and happy heart.
Enough of my Chinese fortune cookie excerpt. All the best to you and may your drive and passion bring you closer to your dreams.

I Googled Sunshine Bear. Sent it to my daughter to replace the chest emblem with a house and music symbol. Probably not kosher, but since I don't make a dime out of this hobby, let's repeat: This mix is for PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Music FIENDS!! How are you and what is going on with you? Some new friends, thank you for visiting. Some returning friends, you know what you're going to get... or not many times ; )
Welcome to the place where house music is loved, cherished, thought about often, listened to intently, remembered fondly, discerning all the parts of the whole... all the layers, mixed with care and respect, expressed with love, encouragement, hopefulness, optimism, cheerful intent, and joy.
House puts a smile on your face from ear to ear.
Makes you bop. Makes you sing along.
Makes you react... in your gut.
Makes your hands go into the air. Makes you clap.
Makes you tap your feet. Makes you shake. Makes you dance.
Makes you reach out to others. Dance in unison.
Embrace and sometimes more...
You feel nourished. Refreshed. Dead skin has been shed.
Then you go live your life to the best of your abilities. You take the good with the bad.
Shit happens. Sometimes to others and sometimes to you.
You control what you can and disregard & discard the rest.
We need to be our top cheerleaders in our heads. In our self-talk. In our lonely times. In the quiet times.
Then at the end of the day, we come back to the music to release all our joys and especially all the negative energy. Recharge. Let go. Let it out. Refuel. Refreshed. It's a new us. Ready for whatever life's struggles may bring.
Bring it on. Be of good cheer Brothers and Sisters.
We're connected to this common love. All the best to everyone. Go grab what you deserve by taking on your responsibilities and make this a year to be remembered.

This mix was a 2nd attempt. I did this mix at my friend, Hubert's CTRL ROOM (IG: @ctrlroom) in the west end of Toronto. The city we love. The city where house music is loved by many.
The first attempt was on Dec9th, 2022. This was made on Jan17th, 2023. Usually, I go just by myself. Sometimes with one friend.
This time I don't know what happened... a few more came along and it became an impromptu party on a Tuesday night. LMAO. There are a few mistakes in this mix, but the energy is fantastic and the company was wonderful. It was a lot of fun and wiped me out for most of my Wednesday. Lol
Thank you Hubert. You understand my addiction to this music and have provided your CTRL ROOM many many times to feed it.
Thank you for singing and dancing with me Stephen, Marlon, Myles, Raisa, Heidi, and my beautiful, Tommy. A Chinaman's best friend. Doggies for House

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fanatics!! How have you been this beautiful November? Thank you for visiting us and giving us a listen. If you like this mix, then there are 140 more to go through.
People usually don't like listening to 'old' music, but house music is nothing like the rest ; ) The great thing about good house music is that if you've never heard a track, then it'll be brand new to you. It's not like popular music where a song is in and out of fashion after a few months.
The greater thing is that because of DJ'ing, even if you've heard 80% of the separate tracks placed into a continuous mix, each DJ has his/her own particular tastes and style. You could take 100 tracks and give them to 10 different DJs and I'd guarantee that each and every mix will give you a different feel and experience. You might dislike, like or love a particular mix.
Some DJs like more bass and some like me like hi-hats, so they'd equalize each track differently to their preferences. Some like to play tracks at 120bpm and some like me like it a bit faster, around 125bpm. It depends on the tempo you like. I like the tempo that you can dance or chill out to. Then most of us get too excited and the second half of our mixes gets faster and faster and would probably end a few bpms faster than we would like.
Each of the 100 tracks would have different parts and sections. Each DJ would highlight different parts. Some like to play each track for 5-6mins to "let it breathe". I have house ADD, so like them in and out because the exciting parts are the beginning, the breakdown, and the new mix.
The mix is the beauty and art of it all. Each combination is unique and sometimes we get lucky and a combo elevates both tracks being mixed. Jim and I are best friends for 30yrs and spin live together as 'dattrax'. We have a policy of NOT repeating mix combinations. It keeps it fresh and fun for us.
Then comes the style of the DJ, do they love long smooth mixes, where they layer two tracks and create a new feeling? Do they like to cut parts of a second track into the first? Do they like to start mellow and gradually take it up through the mix? Do they like to play the same sub-genre of house through a whole mix, or like Jimmy and I... love house so much that we play EVERY genre of house within a mix? The beauty, fun, and excitement of all the possibilities are endless. At the least, it'll put a massive smile over you face from ear to ear.
Enjoy and all the best to you in your life. As the great and late philosopher/comedian, Patrice O'Neal has famously said, "You're the #1 priority". Keep doing what you're best at and significance, respect, and money will come. Then everyone that is around you will benefit in a positive way. When you win, everyone you encounter will win. If you're in a shitty job or relationship, then move on. Life is short and you deserve more.

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: HiYaAAA Fellow House Freaks!! I hope you're all well and doing what you can each day to better yourselves.
Whatever you're going through, it will pass and you can displace negative with music.
This mix is 'smooth as butter'... as the saying goes. This mix took three attempts in order to get the right feel. In search of that elusive perfect mix that never happens. Sometimes the first take is fantastic. Usually, it can take up to 12 attempts. Yes, DJing for 30yrs and still making tons of mistakes. LMAO.
I've always made mixes for my enjoyment and fulfillment first, then for my best friend and DJ partner (when we DJ at live events), Jimmy Zoo. We grew up together loving house music (met in our late teens), going out dancing, DJ'ing and we were crazy "Black Crack"/vinyl record junkies. House was and is our release from our shitty jobs and life.
If someone outside of us two like our mixes, then that's a bonus, so thank you for visiting us here.
Any track that we bought that we loved and had never heard of before was "new" to us regardless of when it actually came out. It was always about the combinations. Endless, fun, and sometimes inspiring and magical. The right tracks on top of each other or in any way that it's mixed. It's beautiful. I have a personal rule to never repeat a mix combination. I've only broken that a handful of times.
One of Jim and I's favourite house music DJs is Derrick Carter because his mixing style is so interesting and unique. His combos are surprising and delightful. He could play out of our collection of tracks and because of how he selects tracks and mixes, the mix will have his sonic signature. The same can be said for many good house DJs.
All the best to you as always.

You get to pick your favourite songs, how fast or slow, or how long you want to play it, which part of the song you want to highlight, whether you want to cut it up or layer it, whether you want the feel to be smooth or charging, whether you want… The combinations are endless w/ house music, and that much fun!”

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome Everyone!! I love house music and always want to share what tracks I love at the moment and what I'm feeling in a mix. It's been a challenging year and I always work out my emotions in mix sessions. This mix took one attempt which is rare these days. Enjoy this mix and I hope that it brightens up your day and that you're feeling the positive energy that it conveys.
I hope you are all well in the pursuit of your dreams and if not, then you're taking into your hands what you can control and working towards changing your situation. I was looking for some inspirational quotes and found some from Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882). I didn't know much about him, but he's definitely a deep thinker and has a lot of insightful and encouraging words for us men, especially in our modern times.
"It is rare to find a man who believes in his own thoughts or speaks that which he is created to say. As nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing, so nothing is more rare in any man than an act of his own...feel yourself, and be not daunted by things...The light by which we see this world comes out from the soul of the observer."
"Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations. The only sin is limitation. As soon as you once come up with a man's limitations, it is all over with him."
"A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer."
"Every individual man has a bias which he must obey, and...it is only as he feels and obeys this that he rightly develops and attains his legitimate power in the world. It is his magnetic needle, which points always in one direction to his proper path.... He is never happy nor strong until he finds it, keeps it."
"What a man does, that he has. What has he to do with hope or fear? In himself is his might. Let him regard no good as solid but that which is in his nature, and which must grow out of him as long as he exists. The goods of fortune may come and go like summer leaves; let him scatter them on every wind as the momentary signs of his infinite productiveness."

dattrax: Hiya Fellow House Music Aficionados from Toronto and around the world!! Welcome!!
How has life been treating you? If not treated well, then...
Are you doing what's true to you to get the most out of each situation? Are you refusing to be mauled by unfortunate circumstances? Are you choosing to stay positive? Are you choosing to get back up?
I'm asking questions that I ask myself after life tries to kick me in the teeth. I hope that you choose to win as well. All the best to you and your well-being. Enough of my Chinese fortune cookie words...
Are you ready for a new dattrax house music journey? This mix is just over 2hrs long and it's filled with beautiful and varied textures. There are tons of new tracks for your listening or dancing pleasure [Thank you Traxsource for the 30% discount codes]. This took one take and the track selection and mixing are hawt!! Whew!! It usually takes 3-12 these days in my old age. LMAO!!
Whenever my best friend and DJ partner, Jim had deep conversations where too much was revealed. [As men, we're supposed to not reveal too much of our thoughts or feelings]. Jimmy and I call those conversations 'Open Kimomo' sessions. Always makes me chuckle the image of flashing in a kimono. Don't think that they make those for men right?
This mix is similar as it's an open book in regards to the tracks chosen to bring about the feeling of contentment and sparks of joy. Lots of challenges this year so poured a lot of negative and positive energy into this mix. I love the feel of this mix from beginning to end and hope that you smile from ear to ear.

Episode 134: dAtfRoTeCH » Strictly Afro-Tech House Music
2022/07/26
Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Welcome to the Underground Friends... New and Old!! Who's ready for some vocal house music??!!!!
How is Everyone's June and July 2022 been so far?
Have you been connecting with close friends and learning more about new ones?
Have you been spending time in person or virtually by video chats with people that you care about?
I hope the best for you and your life. I hope for you as much as for myself, that we can minimize the negative and grow, change and overcome. That we could each day come closer to the best version of ourselves.
Then we can come together and connect through house music. This mix brings a message of hope. Full of beautiful vocals and sensational beats, all mashed up and layered over each other » dattrax-style!!
Everyone in the house music scene worldwide knows what a storm has been brewing in South Africa over the last two decades and has exploded globally. These artists are creating, iterating, collaborating, and influencing and it's all wonderful!
I noticed that the "Top 100 Downloads" lists in the different house sub-genres keep shifting as more and more new house fanatics started to produce and both the volume of production pieces and quality are rising. Finished work follows their creators' passion. It's never been so good for house music as now.
Especially recently, with top pop/hip-hop stars creating music with house music beat structures, flavours, and samples from great classic house anthems. More and more people will come through that wide commercial funnel and some will find more specific sub-genres of house music. Their lives will be changed forever!
The Afro-House most downloaded lists on Traxsource and Beatport have been interesting over the last few years because of the sheer amount of amazing tracks created and the variations of rhythms.
A house DJ/producer friend of mine, Andrew invited me to do a guest mix on a South African podcast that he's been involved with for years. They have a group of extremely passionate DJs involved.
In preparation, I decided to do a mix with my fav Afro-House tracks that Jim and I have bought over the years and continue to buy. I usually don't make mixes with just one type of house, however, this would be a good attempt to refine a more distinct sound for this coming guest mix in the late summer.
This mix was made with much love and this took 8 attempts to get the right feel (I changed directions a bunch of times). A few fellow Toronto House DJs love techy Afro-House or "Afro-Tech" as it is called by some. This is why I chose this funny title, 'datfrotech'.
[Jim and I are 'dattrax' when we spin together live (best friends and DJ fanatics/partners for 30yrs!! Since we were young!). When it's short/long mixes, it's just, me. It's confusing, I know. It doesn't matter, as long as you enjoy it].

Episode 133: Too Far from Center » Strictly House Music
2022/06/12
Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: HIYA Fellow House Fiends!! Welcome new and our regular visitors from around the globe!! Thank you for taking the time to scan through some of our mixes to see if you'd like to listen to a full mix. We appreciate you visiting us here.
Started this mix near the end of March. This is my 11th attempt at this final version. I hope that you enjoy this mix because it was made with much love. All the happy and negative energies that were pent up got released into the making of this mix.
I start or bounce to a few different mixed projects once I'm stuck, not feeling it, or need a break. So many mixes that I want to make, but not enough time.
For the first three versions of this mix, I just chose the 1st two tracks of this new mix and started mixing out of the batch of 150-200 tracks [organized within 18 folders. See this screenshot: https://prnt.sc/e_YYxUmRCfas ] that was possible for this mix.
The first two tracks always set the mood and expectation of a mix. Then the folders divide the tracks out into categories of tempo and types of energy expressed. There are always enough tracks in each of the 18 folders to give me enough choices/possibilities for each combination. Not enough to overwhelm, because having too many choices doesn't make for a good mix either.
I have in the folders the core two dozen tracks that make up the underlying feel or goal for any specific mix.
Then after each mix attempt is completed - just listen and see if I like the feel and if I train wrecked any mixes or killed the vibe with a wrong track combination choice. If I don't like it, then delete it. Back to the drawing board for the next mix attempt.
Then liked parts of each of the first three versions, so cobbled together, made some arrangement changes, and listened some more to a few more mix attempts.
Keep trimming and changing the tracks, the orders, and a bunch of different spots to create the right feel. Then I fell into a trap of being too structured. LMAO!!
This is the most planned-out mix that I've ever made. Then you add the fact that 90% of the mix are the new re-rubs that I've made over the last few months, there's another entire layer of dattrax choices that changes the feel/vibe/groove of the mix. There was one slight mistake, but I couldn't do the 12th attempt. LMAO. Sorry.
["Re-Rub" - don't know if there's an actual definition or name, but here's mine. I take a vocal track that I love that's old, or not in good quality to stand alone, or in a version that I have that don't really love.
Then I go through a bunch of instrumentals or dubby tracks (tracks with vocal snippets) to find one that works well with it.
Then I sync the speeds and mix the two and EQ out the instruments and EQ in the vocal and other parts that I like. Record them together and use them as separate tracks.
Then let the new or recent house instrumental be the base for this vocal's Re-Rub. Then I use these Re-Rubs in new mixes or live DJ events.
Just quick and dirty refreshes of favourite vocals to make them sound more modern and gives you a reminder of how great the original vocals are. Or you can say, the poor man's version of a bootleg for someone with ZERO producing talent, dedication, or equipment. Ha ha ha ha.
Although, one Re-Rub can take as fast as 20mins to make or an hour, depending on the constraints of the chosen combination.]
This mix has the majority of the house vocals, classic house vocals ('classic house' to me is from 1980-2008), and 80's pop tunes + maybe a dozen recent tracks. 49 Tracks in 2hrs and 34mins!!

Life is full of struggles and brief glimpses of joy, love, respect, celebration, and true happiness. We wish you all the positive to continue and if you're in your winter/valley, then we wish it to be shorter and that you climb out of it. Your voice needs to rebuild and shine again or start to shine.
House music has always been therapy and my outlet for my emotions, especially when it's negative. I've been going through a ton of stuff, so I spend more time going through tracks, listening to tracks, and mixing them.
It's always been a relaxing, releasing, and refreshing time spent when I just spend hours finding tracks that match the mix that I'm imagining. Then hours mixing. Hours listening to the mixes.
Then another attempt if I don't like the feel, made mistakes or it's not a mix that I love. I mean, I don't want to listen more than once. Back to the drawing board. A few more attempts, then if I don't have a final version, then I'll take a break and move on to another special mix. Then come back to finish another time when I'm in the mood.
So many came out lately in Mar and Apr because I was working through four different mixes in Nov and Dec because that Dec mix took 12 attempts. I've never done that much jumping around before.
[You can find that Dec mix here:

Then with each mix, I learn something new that I apply to the next mix. Or to another mix that I left because I was stuck or got bored of the grouping of tracks.

dattrax: Hello Fellow House Freaks!! Welcome! Found this old, probably 6-8yrs old test mix that I've never put on my Podomatic app. It's hawt!! It was an all vinyl record mix. I know because I had a failed experiment where I recorded almost a crate (100 records) in cracks of time between family and work for 1.5mths.
Then I realised that the sound quality was garbage and I couldn't even use them. LMAO.
Now that my Traxtor S4, 3rd GEN controller has a wicked built-in soundcard, I can muster the time-consuming energy to record most of my 4.5 crates left.
I've managed to get rid of it by selling or giving away around 30 crates of house music. Yes, Jim and I were "Black Crack" addicts!! That was our name for record buying addiction.
Jim hates getting rid of stuff and has the space. He probably has about 65 crates because he loved records outside of just house like me.
For every mix that is up here, there were anywhere from 3 to 12 previous test mixes that weren't good enough for the feel and direction that I was aiming for.
Collette, a house fanatic like us is from Quebec, Canada, and a friend from Facebook. Her post about music this week explains this love perfectly:
"Our history shows that music is the greatest creation of humankind. Authentic creativity and concentrated passion is what music is all about. Music allows people to express themselves freely with their feelings and emotions, and that’s why it’s an important part of our lives...
The emotions of joy and cheerfulness can freely release themselves with the power of music.!!!!!!
Furthermore, music has proven to develop the mind, boost self-confidence and build healthy relationships. Music doesn’t just provide a source of entertainment. In fact, it plays a bigger, more important role in our life than just that.
Music Boosts Productivity...Music Makes Learning More Enjoyable. Music Makes the World Go Around..!"

This has got to be my best mixing and with a TON of great finds in Jim and I's digital house music collection. All done in ONE TAKE!!
My favourite two tracks have bookended this mix with the last spots.
[Tale From the Dirt feat. Aquarius Heaven (Rampa Remix) Hyenah, Rampa Freerange +
Unmask Me (Ashley Beedle Vocal Mix) Mama, Ashley Beedle Batty Bass]
There was a vocal dub that was sooooooo good, that I played it twice!!
[Set Me Free (Original Mix) Black Motion, Xoli Ocha Mzansi] I think that I've only done this maybe three times max.
About these great finds: I've taken the past 6-8months going through our almost 8,000 digital tracks from 2008 to 2017 in cracks of time. Most of these finds, I don't even remember listening to them. If it's new to you and me, then it's new. That's the beauty of house music. Excited to go through 2018-2022 to find more gems that I've never added to any continuous mixes.
I was really really feeling it this evening on Apr2, 2022. From life's pain, trauma, and struggles come the expression of those emotions in a truly timeless mix.
I really hope that you get an opportunity to take this 2hr journey in one session. Please let us know how this mix made you feel.

dattrax: HiYa FeLlOw HoUsE fReAkS!! Welcome and thank you for stopping by for a listen or download. Ready for a three-hour journey? This is a beaut!!
I make the mixes, but Jim and I DJ together live. He's my best friend, DJ partner, past business partner and both loved house music since we were in our teens. Still love it today!!
I've been into house since I was 15yrs old (started buying vinyl records at 19) and approaching 48 this month (That's 33yrs!! and 29yrs as a DJ). I love house music. I love finding good house music from the sea of variety of Beatport and Traxsource. Love mixing house tracks. Love the art of it. Love the tactile feel of mixing. Love the physical transfer of energy into a session, both negative and positive pent-up emotions.
I love listening to other DJ's versions of house and their expression of their emotions through their execution. Love dancing to house and experiencing the massive differences in live DJ performances, live streams, and mixed sessions.
I love the variety and massive production with anyone that has an idea for a track. I love that if you haven't heard a track before and liked it, it doesn't matter how old it is, who made it, or where it was produced. It's just something that you identify with. Connect with. It moves you. It makes you feel great. You smile. You move. You dance. You escape from your life. It's both renewing and refreshing.

dattrax: hElLo fElLoW hOuSe HeAdS from around the world! So excited for you to enjoy this mix. I hope that it puts a massive smile on your face.
Did you have a good week so far? Are you struggling with challenges? Embarrassed about them?
Ask your close network for help. Everything is available on Google Search and YouTube search to find solutions to your problems. Or, if you're not ready for that, the greatest escape for anything that makes you happy and gives you an escape for a few hours and mental rest from worry.
I know that it's been tough lately. Hang in there. Focus your energy to positively and optimistically move forward. You're sad and feeling bad, it's okay to feel what you feel. You need the time to process, introspect, think about what part you had in your misfortune. Then decide to go fix your problems. You may have to think or take actions that are not natural to you. Time to reinvent yourself. You can do it!
Don't worry about things that you can't control, because that's a TON of things and you don't want to needlessly burden yourself. Focus on what you can do to change your situation. It's not what happens to us that's important, it's how we react to it.
In the cracks of time the last few months, I've been going through about 2,500 tracks in about 3-4 seconds each. You either feel it or you don't. The track either moves you or it doesn't.
[Usually, that volume is done within a month, but I had to deal with tons of negative life crap in Feb].
Then after I'm done going through all my fav DJ chart lists, house producers, singers, record labels, etc + the top 100 downloads in these categories: house, deep house, afro house, nu-disco, tech house, minimal house, jackin' house, progressive house, electronica, and classic house.
By then I usually have about 130-150 tracks. Then I go through that digital crate on different days and the ones that don't move me anymore get removed.
I bought 27 tracks in this batch and listened to them for an entire week. Some of my favs can each get up to 20plays each, so I really get to know each track and enjoy them. [Only 25 of the 27 made it into this mix].
Then before the mix, I put them in folders like this so I'm not all over the place, yet have the freedom to bounce around. It's structured, but it's not too restrictive. This keeps it always FUN. If it's not fun, then why do it at all:
Vocal - Mellow |
Vocal - Medium |
Vocal - Hype |
Dubby - Mellow |
Dubby - Medium |
Dubby - Hype |
Instrumental - Mellow |
Instrumental - Medium |
Instrumental - Hype |
Covers/Remixes |
Classic House Vocals |
Classic House Dubby |
Classic House Instruments |
***"Dubby" are those tracks that have only repetitive vocal snippets or stabs, not a full vocal throughout the track.
This took one attempt. I usually have to do 3-12 attempts before I get a mix that I love throughout because of all the mistakes.
The biggest mistake was when I was mixing in a vocal track and mixing out the previous vocal. The vocal in the track coming in came in a long faster than I expected. Mixed vocals are terrible.
I SHOULD'VE CHECKED in my monitor headphones. I always check in the headphones before I apply effects, delay, or flange because if I don't check, it'll sound like shet with most tracks.
With the different delay effects, I like applying it between a mix as a new track is coming out or being mixed out and not on the single track playing like most DJs. It's more exciting through a mix.
This batch had sooooo many amazing vocal house tracks!!!!! Their underlying instrumentals are wicked!!
Love tracks that the music is so strong that if you stripped away the vocals, then you'd still have a killer house track.
I usually mix classic house tracks made from 1985-2000 into my sets but this time, just wanted all the new tracks. Even replayed a fav new vocal at the end of the new stuff. LMAO!!
This one » "Let It Go" (Maxxi Soundsystem Remix) Pandora Drive. It's better than the Disney Frozen version ; )
"Classic house" is an extremely amusing category because it depends on which period of house music do you consider to be 'classic'?
It depends on which were the formative years where you were getting involved with house music + the DJs that you listened to on multiple mediums and danced to live. What were their styles?
I couldn't help myself though by keeping it purely the new tracks. I had to go into a 6 track classic house excursion. LMAO!!!!
Made about 5 mistakes on this mix, but the groove that was built was really really amazing, the rest of the mixing was tight and these tracks... WOWZERS!! They were begging me to mix them!!!
Enjoy and let us know if you like this mix and which parts you loved the most.

Image Explanation: This was a tiny but cool place called Nasa. It was located at 609 Queen West, circa 2005 in Downtown Toronto. It was owned by a famous Classic House DJ and part-owner of the famous Industry Niteclub, Matt C., and his best friend, Ben. They're still best friends today and in their own successful real estate business. Love stories of lifelong friendships.
It was 17yrs ago, so I was 30, and my best friend and live DJ partner, Jim was 31. In the pic, we're spinning vinyl records at that time and had a blast the bunch of times we had the privilege to throw down there.
So many cool friends and wonderful people we've had the pleasure to meet over the years. So many beautiful souls in this city that we love, Toronto. At that time, I was also managing a 24hr hotspot just south of Yonge & Bloor called 7West Cafe. We served about 600-800 people per night. It was so much fun!! Filled with amazing customers and staff + a ton of extreme levels of stress most nights. LMAO!!

dattrax: Hiya Fellow hOuSe FiEnDs!! Welcome new and returning house fanatics!!
With this mix, I wanted to make it a bit more banging. Aggressive and more funky house tracks. Still layered with sweet vocals, but probably fun for you during a workout. Definitely not like our usual mellow mixes.
How is 2022 starting out for you? I can't believe it's March already. The worse of our frozen north weather should be done in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!
It looks like our government is going to relax a bit with all the virus restrictions stuff. They've decided to eliminate the dreaded vaccine passports, so that's great. People who chose to get vaxxed or not can go to restaurants, bars, lounges, clubs, etc without the vaccine passport IDS. No more separating and making people feel outcast or lesser. Hopefully, they do away with the masks soon too. [The CDC came out with a report over a month ago showing that masks aren't effective and if we're not wearing the top grade masks, then our cloth ones with cute and fancy designs aren't going to protect us].
Didn't want to rant about that, so I'm sorry. This virus thing has stolen from all of us the past two years and I'm so happy to see that this might finally end, well the worst of it. It'll just be a regular thing from now on.
We hope that things are getting back to the new normal in your corner of the earth. So much craziness in the world. Just worry about you! Turn off the news, don't even read the headlines! Get rid of people in your life that are negative and drain you of your energy. You know who they are.
You're the #1 priority. Keep safe, be happy, be healthy and work hard for your dreams!! If you get yourself healthy and be the best that you can be, then people around you and those you interact with whom you will naturally benefit from your goodness.
Escape with us with this two-hour mixed with love. All the best to you and your loved ones!!!!!!

dattrax: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO Fellow House Lovers from around the world!! House music is such a connecting force huh? Been working on 4 mixes in the last few months and this one actually only took 1 attempt.
I really hope that you enjoy it and makes you smile. It's quite a journey... 3hrs long. I loved making it. Been through a ton of struggles lately and mixing loud house music relaxes me. It allows me to express my negative energies into a mix while hoping that choosing tracks that make me happy can mix with that energy. The result I hope is something beautiful and not thrown away. I mean that you can listen more than once and still enjoy it and hey, who knows? Maybe hear or appreciate another part of it.

This is the fastest between mixes because I had about 4 going and switching when getting bored trying to get a version that has the right feel/intent/groove and didn't have a million train wrecks. LMAO!
Special shoutout to Ron Sabastion and Noel Nanton for sending me digital copies of Ron's, "Change Ur Mind" and Noel's "Your Love". Beautiful Toronto House Music!!
We hope that you're doing well. That you're thriving! That you are living your life to the fullest! If not, then you're reassessing your failures and learning from them. Readjusting or completely reinventing yourself. Congrats to you on your journey to what fuels your being, your soul!

Info (Show/Hide)
dattrax: Hiya Fellow House Fiends around the world!! Welcome new listeners and to those returning! We're extremely thankful for all of you!!
As always we hope that you've been well in your life full of personal triumphs and defeats. Life is full of struggles with some that are unavoidable. We can't change what happens to us sometimes, but we can choose to view each situation with objectivity, and react graciously and move forward optimistically. Perhaps it's time to reinvent ourselves, make a contrarian choice, go down a different path, or attempt a new endeavour.
House music can help you escape and take you to your happy place. We're here to hopefully put a massive smile on your face. This mix took six attempts to finally get the right feel for the next two hours and thirty-seven minutes. Been working on about four separate mixes, each taking multiple attempts. We hope that you enjoy this one, soak it in as you live your life.
Here are some of my favourite fortune cookies from the Asian Underground. *My DJ partner when we spin live is Jim and he's Cypriot/Greek, but since I'm making the mixes, writing these show notes and our quotes that help me ; )
These quotes have helped me when things happen that rock my world and I feel like someone is physically kicking my teeth in. I hope that it can bring you some comfort and inspire you to climb out of your dark place as well.
“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”
― Napoleon Hill
"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." — Winston S. Churchill
“Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” — Mark Twain
“When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to happiness that you can give out.”— Eleanor Roosevelt

dattrax: Hello from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Fellow House Fiends Everywhere!!
This virus lockdown BS madness has not ended after almost two years. Of course not! When power and money are involved, well, you know how this story ends. Always follow the money and that's what the story really is about because it's not about public health and safety. Yours or mine.
Enough of my rant. It is what it is. This is our new reality. Geez.
Jabbed or not, let's not judge or treat each other badly, we all have our reasons for choosing either. Let's respect that as we're all different, with different lives, concerns, kids or no kids, constraints, jobs, temperaments, desired outcomes, etc.
We (Jim and I have been best friends & DJ partners when we spin live for over 30yrs!!) hope that you're doing what you can to make sure that you're doing well. "Your happiness is paramount". As the great comedian and philosopher, Patrice O'Neal has preached many times in his life. RIP.
If you are not well, then it'll affect those around you that need you. It trickles down from you to your family and friends, your co-workers, your company, the communities that you belong to, online and offline.
One day at a time. One problem at a time. Just do what you can handle and control and don't worry about the rest. It's the worrying that slowly kills us.
We hope that Danny Tenaglia doesn't get mad that his famous, "Music is the Answer" classic house anthem's name has been taken, tweaked, and is now the name of this mix. LMAO!!
The first track is a vinyl that I bought in 1998, and then a digital copy from Traxsource a year or so again.
It'll set the right tone for you. The first track of a mix or of a live set is my favourite first part because it's the first contact with the dancers or your listeners.
Sadly and frustratingly, this mix took 12 attempts, yes, LMAO. I had originally bought a batch from Traxsource of 24 hawt tracks. That took a month to listen to 2,000 tracks at 2-5 seconds each, then I had 120 tracks in my digital crate, then it took two weeks in the cracks of time between work and life to dwindle that down to 24, then I had to wait a week to get the 30% email promo from Traxsource. It's a journey.
Then spent hours finding what I felt would be fun mixed with these new tracks. Mixed a few sets, didn't like the blends, deleted them. Then picked a new first track and went a few directions, listened, and wasn't feeling it. Changed the first track again. Now we're at mix number five! Every time you choose a different opening track, you change the vibe, so this went on until mix nine. I usually don't change directions so much but the process of making a mix that I love sort of reflects either the stability or chaos in my life at the time.
Then I was, "Eureka!!" This is the feeling that I wanted, but what TF happened? Of the 24 tracks that I bought, now there are only 6 on this mix. Geez. It is what it is. Then I had a DJ talent problem, the mixes had parts where I brought in the wrong tracks or I train wrecked mixes. So the last three attempts were trying to refine what I finally LOVED!
Then on the final run, I realised after listening to the completed mix three times, "HORY SHET!!!" (In a thick Chinese accent. I don't have one, just like to use it from time to time). I forgot one of the 6 new vocal house tracks.
No problem. I did two runs on the next mix and have decided to put that beautiful work of art as the bookend, the last track of the next mix that I'm working on.
As always, tracks are chosen and mixed with love. Pouring all the negative and positive energy into it, so hopefully, it at least brings a smile into your life. Enjoy Fellow HouseHeadz!! Until next time. Be good and be well!!

dattrax: Hello Fello House Fiends!! Excited to share this new mix with you! A few classic house vocal tracks and a few old house labels with new tracks! A ton of new tracks from Traxsource.
Hope you're all well and staying positive in the country that you're in!
Not much on this end. Been working from home for the past almost 19 months and going back to the office next week. Been just my doggie, Tommy and I + my laptop for full-time work and freelance consulting.
I usually make a mix once a week on a Sat or Sun morning or afternoon. Listen to house every evening.
Hope these lockdowns are over or almost over in whereever you live. Let's start living like human beings again!! Dance again!! Been alone so long, probably want to slowly ease into the old 'normal'.
All the best to you and we hope that you enjoy this mix and that it makes you feel good and smile. House Music all night long!!

dattrax: Spring is finally here in Toronto and we've had a few weeks of beautiful weather. It's really brightening everyone's moods!
We hope that everyone is doing well, staying positive and you're all doing what you love to do as much as possible! Thank you for stopping by and giving us a listen. We really appreciate it!
Just wanted to share a new house mix I've been working on and finally like this version. Four tries for this one, so not too bad. Hope you like it. It's a nice and smooth ride.
I've listened to it so many times walking my doggie, Tommy. I know it's a good mix when it's the feel that I want and I can listen to it a bunch of times and not get bored of it.
Each mix has slight imperfections, so that's annoying but it is what it is. The search for the perfect mix is not attainable for me. Just one that shares my positive and negative energies and something cool comes out of it, then that makes me happy!

dattrax: Hey Fellow House Fanatics!!
If you're here by accident, then you're also in for a treat!! Definitely not top 40 here. Not EDM. Welcome to the Underground! Home-grown Toronto House Music.
House music tracks with sweet-ass vocals, aggressively layered with jackin' beats!! This mix took about 5 tries the first 1.5-2hrs. On the 6th run, I lifted the breaks, broke the governor and slammed through almost 100 tracks for this 4hr excursion!
Everything good or bad in my life during this endless virus event just POURED right into this beauty!
Finished this three weeks ago but wanted to listen to it and make sure that it was the feel that I was looking for.
It is and now it's your turn to take it for a spin!
If you like what you hear, then please share with your other house friends or introduce these mixes that are made with love and dedication to possible new lovers of house music.
Thank you for stopping by and listening!!
Been addicted to this music since I was 15 and been buying religiously since I was 19. My best friend, Jimmy and I are dattrax and we're thankful that you're giving us a listen. Thank you so much! Much appreciated. Hope you are coping and doing whatever you can to stay positive!

Hello dattrax Fans!! These house music tracks were begging to be mixed, so after I assaulted my DJ mixer, here's the result for you!
The last few mixes have been a blast to make. Kept buying new batches of house because of my addiction. Then picking the tracks that I was feeling and blending it with a core group from recent buys. Adding a few classic house tracks here and there.
Hope you enjoy this mix while doing whatever activity. I enjoy house mixes now during this virus event with everything. Cooking, cleaning, ironing clothes, walking my doggie, relaxing and stretching/working out.
We're all probably packing on the pounds over the last 8mths or so.
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe!!
If you like what you here, then please share with your other house friends or introduce these mixes that are made with love and dedication to possible new lovers of house music.

dattrax: Hello Fellow House Headz!!! From Toronto, Ontario, Canada, we bring you another house music mix!!
This mix took 4 attempts because I'm old and suck more as a DJ now. Ha ha ha. When I was younger I was mixing probably 8hrs/wk at least and also DJ'ing around every shithole in Toronto. Now probably 2hrs/wk on a Sat or Sun. LOL.
This was a ton of fun to make. This final version is HAWT!!!
Enjoy this 2hr journey into the dattrax brand of house! Hope it moves you or the very least, puts an ear to ear grin on your face.
As always - massive thanks to the amazing vocalists, producers, DJs and dancers (even in your homes or while walking about) for their incredible advancement of this beautiful musical genre!! Makes us all feel young, vibrant and extremely happy!!

dattrax » Happy NEW YEAR's Eve and Happy 2020!!
As we close out 2019, a Decade's End, some thoughts for our Fellow House Headz:
We've had a mixture of really bad shit happen to us and good shit also.
What do we do? At the end of the day, we say, "It is what it is" and muster all the energy we can to focus on the positive and treat each new day with a fresh outlook, a positive outcome perspective and a new energy to fight another day.
It takes ONE SUCCESS in any given area of your life to wipe away ALL the failures. Just aim hard at achieving that ONE SUCCESS.
Everyone has heartbreak, failures and the truth is NO ONE GIVES A SHIT. Not because they are bad but have their own BS to struggle through. It's hard to accept but liberating at the same time.
However, when you reach that ONE SUCCESS, then everyone will applaud your 'overnight success'. Whether it be your health, your career or business, your kids, your one love, your passion, whatever you want to win at.
Go make 2020 your best banner year yet!! You can do it. We're your cheerleaders!!
Do it for you and do it for all your haters. Your happiness is your #1 priority!!! (as the great and late, Patrice O'Neal has declared many times).
Success is the best weapon against negativity. Show them that you are living your best life possible!
With all that fortune cookie goodness aside, the Chinese in me ; ) All the best to you and your loved ones in this coming year!!
We're very excited to share this new house music mix with you!
For all of you that lose yourself on the dance floor and get an automatic grin from ear to hear when you hear and feel the house music that moves you + your heart and mind swells with happiness and transportation to your youth and your happy place in your mind + you release all your life's stress, pain and joy.
This is for YOU.
All our stress, pain and happiness poured into this mix (and every dattrax mix). May it bring you a bit of happiness as we close out this decade.
Been working on this mix for a few months (about 4 batches of house music bought at Traxsource and Beatport during summer to fall of 2019, approx 200+ tracks. Picked the first two tracks and started mixing. The reason it took months is because although I made about 9 attempts, each time ending within an hour or two losing the mood, the feeling and expression I was looking for). Hope you enjoy this love-infused house music mix!!

dattrax: WOW!! It's been a year since the last house mix was posted!!! (I've probably made over 30 mixes since then but they all sucked or had unforgivable mistakes. All our mixes have imperfections and slight mistakes but it's the trainwrecks or the wrong selection that just drops the mood you were trying to create that you don't want to share ;).
It's been a challenging last few years personally. Life happens. Not all positive but you roll with the punches. You try to see some good in your circumstances and realise that at the end of the day, you can only control you and NOT ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE, not what they do, say, feel or think. Then you pick yourself up and move on the best that you can.
Thank you for stopping by and listening to our DJ house music mixes! We're up to 105 mixes now!! It's probably less than 10% of all the mixes we've made but it's the ones that we love and enjoy to listening over and over.
A house mix should be special. Not to be listened to once and then deleted or discarded. A good house mix is one that you want to listen over and over again to put you in that happy mental and puts that big fat smile on your face.
This is how mixed tapes were treated back when Jim and I first fell in love with house. There were very few mixed cassette tapes from our favourite Toronto DJs, so when you got a hold of a good one. WOW!! It got dubbed and shared with your dozen closest friends. It got played over and over again on your portable cassette player.
Jim and I are best friends and have both loved house since we were 15-16 and now we're both 40+!!
We're still addicted to buying house music every single month!
I'm very excited to share this new house music mix with you!
Been working on this mix for about a month in the cracks of time between work, seeing my beautiful children on most weekends, networking and hanging out with good friends. Been thinking about an 80s pop and house mix for years. Thinking and not doing. LMAO.
I hope that you love 80s pop and love it with house music mixed in between and tons of house music covers of 80s pop tunes or house instrumentals.
Layered and mixed just the way we like it.
I was so sad when the greats George Michael, Michael Jackson and Prince passed away the last few years. This mix will probably get banned because it has huge pop hits, but here we go.
If this mix makes you feel happy or any other positive emotions, then please share it online with anyone who you think might like house + 80s pop. Most likely your friends who are over 40 yrs old will like this ; ).

He shares his wide knowledge of 80s pop to people who go crazy like us and in the hottest venues in Toronto.
This mix was created on a Native Instrument's "Traxtor Kontrol S4" controller MK3 version (FINALLY got this 3rd generation S4 and it's a ton of fun to mix with. Had the first gen S4 in 2011 I think. Great product and software), a PC laptop and No sync applied.

dattrax: This house music mix is for an old highschool friend Kirsten's son, Caden. Kirsten and I had mutual friends in Toronto and we all LOVE house!
Caden is a brave young boy that has just finished years of cancer treatment and has been cancer free for three years. This is a celebration.

"Go gold for childhood cancer awareness month and pick up one of these limited edition step stools to help offset travel costs for childhood cancer families driving from Northern Ontario to Sick Kids Hospital, in Toronto."

dattrax: WOW! It's been ages since the last mix. We hope you like this one. It's the second mix to our "Serious Bizness, MixOne".
Our apologies, there is a slight train wreck near the end after "Play with the Voice", but other than that it is a pretty smooth run with lots of sweet house vocals and deep and funky house beats.
Happy New Year!! 2017 is going to be amazing for everyone!
Thank you for giving us a listen! We appreciate it. We have loved house since we were 16yr old boys and all this new amazing music helps re-energize us every time.

All tracks in this mix are from Traxsource.com and Beatport.com with the exception of "Reach for the Stars", which our friends and Toronto DJ legends, Dino & Terry gave us recently, and for "Everything She Wants", a re-mastered WHAM! classic by the incredible George Michael and from the Google Play Store.
I will miss him deeply, as I have listened to his music since I was 12, so over 30yrs. I've been sad for this passing and have been watching everything George Michael on YouTube. 2016 was a tough year for the celebrities my best pal, Jim and I grew up with in the 80's.
Please let us know in the comments if you enjoyed this mix and how it made you feel! Please share our mixes with other House Heads. Much appreciated!

Fellow House Heads, it's been a while! Hope life is treating you great, that you are surrounded by love and that you are pursuing your dreams!
Thank you so much for giving us a listen!
If you are new here, then "WELCOME"!! We have almost a hundred house mixes for you to explore if you like what you hear.
We (Jim and Dat are best friends and have been the DJ duo of 'dattrax' for two decades in Toronto, Canada) have loved house music since our teens and just want to share through our brand of house music with those WHO KNOW. "House is a feeling."
Been wanting to make this mix for over five months and now realize that it will be in two parts, otherwise, it would be a three hour plus mix. The second part might take a backseat to a few mixes first since we have so much new music to share with you!! Since "Ritual Healing" was posted in May2016 and now it's mid-October, Jim and I have bought another five batches of house from Beatport and Traxsource.
Nothing would ever be possible without the amazing singers, producers, and DJs who keep expanding this scene. THANK YOU for pouring your love into this genre! Keeping so many of us old guys young every time we discover a new track that gives us that goosebump all over feeling.

Hello Fellow House Music Fanatics and Newcomers, welcome!!
We are now also available in the Google Play Store's new podcast section, and are still in the iTunes podcast section. For both, just type in the search box, 'house music by dattrax' >> you'll have access to almost 100 free house mixes whether you're on Android or iOS. BOOM!
It's been the longest dry spell we've every had this past year for putting up our house mixes. Our apologies, however, we have not slowed down in buying more house tracks. We're junkies!!
We've bought over 200 tracks in 5 separate batches from Traxsource and Beatport since the last mix was posted on our site. Been working on two mixes, which we believe you're going to LOVE.
This mix, "Ritual Healing" has gone through probably at least eight versions >> each one had some parts that were really amazing and other parts that just sucked! It has been very frustrating, but accepted as part of our ritual of growing in love with new house tracks and only having a few hours a week these days.
Most weekends, we listen to about 500+ tracks on Traxsource & Beatport in the late AMs. Jim, my best friend, DJ partner and fellow house fiend takes on tracks on Beatport and I take on Traxsource.
So after about 2,000-2,500 tracks, I usually have about 90-130 tracks total in my virtual crate. Then over a few weekends, I'll dwindle that down to 30-40, then try to find a 15-20% discount code or sit on the crate till Traxsource emails a discount.
Then buy, then listen to the tracks in traffic to and from my day job in Digital Marketing at a downtown Toronto agency.
Then make a mix on a Sat. morning, shaking the whole house for hours (it's fantastic!!), and then listen to it for a few days. If it sucks, then it gets deleted and back to the drawing board we go the next Sat.
It's such a healing ritual because I usually take all my life and work stress and pour it into each mix. In the process, hopefully putting mostly negative energy with some positive and transforming it into something beautiful. Sharing my favourite house tracks in the way that I want them to sound if I was dancing my ass off at a crystal clear and loud club sound system!!
Much love and respect for the following house vocalists and producers. You can buy all their tracks on Traxsource.com. Message us for the playlist for this house mix if you are really interested:

Love HOUSE?
Here's a LIVE Guest mix I did at Hubert K's amazing CTRL ROOM. We decided to go Old School with an ALL-VINYL RECORD SESSION!
Nothing beats spinning on vinyl, it was an absolute blast!! Pulling out each record was a flood of memories!
House is so magical. Can't be still listening to it. I can't have it as background music. I can't work and listen to house at the same time. Can't have someone in the car and listen to house at the same time. It always transports me back in time. Feel young, energized, and happy!
Here's the video version of this mix: https://youtu.be/zFYsSe-6Qz4
Thank you Hubert!!

dattrax: Hello Fellow House Heads and New House Lovers, it's been a long many months since we last posted a mix but we've been still buying house tracks regularly.
Jim and I have bought 4 batches of 20-35 tracks from Beatport & Traxsource in last 3 months. Yes, still crack addicts, but to house music!
Downloaded this picture from facebook (not sure if pic from a Steve Lawler party in Toronto or not?), so if you own it (& we can verify that), and want this off our site, then let us know and we'll remove it.
But what I love about this pic is that this is why we started loving house music at 16yrs old!! Look closely and feel what these party goers are feeling. Big fat smiles, hands in the air and boots stomping on that dancefloor! What a great pic- HOUSE IS A FEELING!
These 40 or so tracks are my fav from these last 4batches. There are 3 or so Classic House tracks that we bought that are going to make any of you 35-45yrs old FLIP OUT!! We've been buying reissue classics that we own on scratchy vinyl records but are now digitized. Sometimes we lose and they just slap onto the mp3 stores and sounds like a vinyl recording but most of the time it sounds CRISP and PUNCHY! ReMastered. I don't miss the vinyl days. Only DJing on vinyl for that tactile precision ; )
For those of you who are in the know, you are going to lose your minds when you listen to this mix!! CRANK IT LOUD!! (You Deserve It!)
For those of you who are new to house music... and I don't mean that EDM top 40 dance garbage. I mean HOUSE MUSIC. Soulful, funky, jackin', vocally, jazz infused, techy, bouncin', classic, timeless, foot stompin' goodness.
If you are new and you don't freak out. There is zero hope. Yes, hope left the window and is out of your zip code baby!
Have a blast either way! This mix was made with months of life stresses & incredible love of these tracks pushed into this mix. Creating something good out of mixed torrent of emotions! Feel it.
If you're enjoying this mix, then please "like", comment or share this mix!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for visiting us and we hope you love and check out our mixes. Please feel free to donate any amount to support us with a virtual hi-five. There's a PayPal Donate Button on the right sidebar ; )

My best friend of over 20yrs and DJ partner (together we form 'dattrax') said that he read somewhere recently that music is perceived by humans in two very different ways. The first, is a reaction similar to, 'it's nice' and the second, the person feels it in their guts and it moves them!
That's how I think house is like. When someone listens for the first time and most are like 'it's not my thing', or 'it's okay'. Then there are others like Jim and I and we're getting moved emotionally- goose bumps everywhere filled with anticipation and excitement and spine tingling joy.
We're like: "What the @#**!!! is this and how can i get MORE???!!!!!" Like crack addicts when the first hi-hats and sick baselines enter our ears and into our minds and hearts.
That's how we put together mixes, if we don't say 'WOW... that's a sweeeeeeeeeeeeet mix', then we DO NOT POST IT HERE. We don't lose our cookies when we hear a track, we don't buy it- it's that simple.
So however you came to this site. Check out a few mixes, and if you're like 'well... it's alright', then thank you for stopping by and we hope you find something that moves you in your musical journey.
OR you are going to FLIP RIGHT OUT when you hear these tracks we love and feverishly mixed with heart. The ritual behind it all and leading to this mix MOVES you deeply, and for a small fraction of time you forget your stresses in life and just relax, bob your head and smile.
IF this is YOU, then "WELCOME FELLOW BROTHER OR SISTER!!"
And we hope you return for the next mix.

Electric City » Strictly Classic House Music
2013/09/29
Info (Show/Hide)
'Electric City' is a tribute to the city we love and where we fell in love with house music, Toronto. A tribute to its community of house music DJs, producers, promoters, club owners, everyone involved, and then all the party people/ the dancers (including those of us who can't dance but love to ;)
This is a tribute to the house we got into, grew into, grew up in, and fell in love with each time we heard these tracks. A huge hi-five, hug and thank you to all the singers, producers, and DJs that made and played these tracks!!
'Classic House' is a shifting definition... just depends on when you got into house music and when those first 5 to 6 formative years were for you. For us, tracks made in 1985-1996 are considered 'classic' but we started partying in 1990, and from 1990 to 1996 we were privileged to have heard and danced to the earlier tracks.
For "Electric City", I wanted to go for the 'what old is new again' intent, so it's not entirely a classic house mix because it contains some instrumental tracks that were created past '96 and I included covers and remixes of classics that had the same feel, had great sound quality and didn't care when those were actually produced.
For the regular classics, the sound quality was paramount also but had to make exceptions for "Move" and "Music Take Me Up" because they are such wicked tracks (which were my poor attempts at transferring my vinyl to digital). I'm sorry but on "Emotions Electric" was a CD version I bought at Sam The Record Man (sadly not in biz anymore)... back to my apology, I cranked the bass too much so...
Over 5yrs ago, I wasted almost two months in the cracks of time between work and family recording a crate and a half (150 records) into my computer. Realised afterward that because I had a crappy sound card the digitized tracks were flat sounding).
After that Jim and I just started buying classics on Beatport, Traxsource, Itunes, and Defected, and probably 90% of the time the sound quality was excellent.
Got a few classic tracks from friends like Eric Ling, Gene King, Devon Wills, and Tyrone Solomon. Then Roberto Pinto told me about Discogs and all my classic house vinyl dreams are gonna come true. We keep saying but bear repeating: "This is the best time for house music. Period!"
As always, we hope you enjoy this mix and that it gives you that house feeling from head to toe. (If you were so inclined, then please donate any amount you'd like to with the PayPal button on the right side of this site. We've had two donations in the last four years of operating this site, but hoping to set a record this year & you can be a part of that;)
---------------
Listed are the 40 tracks in order and a few sentences about each: (Really want to give you a little history of our early journey):
1) This is a cover by FCL - "It's You" (2012). The original in 1986 was called: "It's You" by E.S.P. I Love this acapella cover!! Thought this would be a great start to this mix. Don't have a good quality version of the original.
2) A Guy Called Gerald - "Emotions Electric" (1989) DJ AKI from the warehouse days made me love this track, it's so beautiful. Bought it on CD many years ago and always wanted to put it on a mix.
3) Murk (Oscar G & Ralf Falcon)/ Coral Way Chiefs *moniker - "Release Myself" (1992) First heard this at a warehouse party on Spadina Ave, south of Dundas St in Toronto's main downtown Chinatown. It was at a "PTS" party!! Peter, Tyrone & Shams dominated warehouse parties for a few summers. Tightest house DJs. Shams actually played this track off of reel to reel!!!!!!!!!! Mixing from reel to reel to vinyl turntables- BADASS!!
4) Bobby Konders - "The Poem" (1990) Jim & I first heard this at 'RPM All Ages Sundays' DJ'ed by Matt C. Jim flipped out and bought his first house records the next day. Think we met weeks later both stomping like maniacs at the speaker bins. We were 16 and were like: "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHET!! THIS MUSIC IS WICKED!!!"
5) Satoshi Tomiie - "And I Loved You" feat. vocals by Arnold Jarvis (1990) This was a record from my very 1st record purchases. It was summertime and I walked into a record store on Yonge St., downtown called "Carnival" and met Tyrone Solomon (of PTS fame!). Nicest guy and bought Shades of Black's "SHADOWS" EP on some label called 'Intrigue', I think. Can't imagine how many times I've heard this beautiful record and at countless parties.
6) This is a cover by Phonique- "Feel What You Want" feat. vocals by Rebecca (2012) The original was in 1994 by Rob Dougan & Rollo Armstrong & Kristine W (also featuring her vocals) Jim bought doubles of the original Kristine W. We were crammed into his bedroom when he 1st played it for me- I FLIPPED OUT!! Jim loved phasing doubles and then playing them purposely slightly offbeat- sounded wicked!! Now you can do it with a 'delay' effects button. He made a mix on cassette tape, then we went downtown looking for a warehouse party. Love this cover done by Phonique and Rebecca, they keep the original feel but brought a freshness to this timeless vocal track.
7) M.A.W.- "I Can't Get No Sleep" remixed by David Morales (1995) First time I heard this was at a warehouse party near Wellesley St., around 6 am, after working nightshift at 7West Cafe. Vince Ailey's friend was DJing. Can't remember his name but was a towering Spanish guy, a great guy. The way he expertly slowly drifted these two minutes of drum intro into the last song. I was dancing non-stop and when that India's vocal came in... Breathtakingly beautiful!
8) Tommy Musto - "Take Some Time Out" feat. vocals by Arnold Jarvis (1987) This vocal still gives me goosebumps!! Was a fav at many warehouse jams!
9) This was remixed by Bush II Bush- "You're Gonna Miss Me" (2007) Original by Turntable Orchestra (1988). Turntable Orchestra – "You're Gonna Miss Me" (1988) Love the original the best but don't have a clean, good quality digital copy and my vinyl's all scratched up. This is a really good remix bringing modern-day tight, bright sounds to this classic vocal.
10) Bang The Party- "Bang-Bang You're Mine" (1990) The first time I heard this was at my pal, Moses' house, we were wrecked and he was mixing this and Fingers Inc tracks. We were all 16yrs old and couldn't believe this house music stuff!!
11) This is a cover by Xakosa- "Miss Me" feat. vocals by Kenny Thomas (2013) The original by Turntable Orchestra – "You're Gonna Miss Me" (1988) This is such a good cover with a jackin' beat, had to include also even though played another version already.
Back in the day, DJs like AKI and PTS would tease you by playing parts of a track, 5-6 times during the night- just a sliver, a few beats each time, just enough of a hook. That's how they broke tracks! By the 5th time, everyone was so excited that the whole room was bouncing with hands in the air!
12) Bobby D'Ambrosio– "Moment Of My Life" feat. vocals by Michelle Weeks (1997) This is one of the most uplifting vocal house tracks out there! Michelle Weeks baby!! Man, there are probably 250 classic house tracks I'd love to put in mixes if I only had clean digital versions. One can dream.
13) M.A.W.- "I Get Lifted" feat. vocals by Barbara Tucker remixed by John Ciafone (1994) Don't know a house DJ worth his salt that doesn't have two dozen Masters At Work vinyl records. Priceless track. Feelin' this?
14) Masters At Work or M.A.W.(Little Louie Vega & Kenny Dope Gonzalez) - "I Can't Get No Sleep" feat. vocals by India (1993) Had to include the original. The first time we heard this was years before that David Morales remix played earlier. We were at "Kat Klub", just southwest of Church St & Queen St E. Kevin Williams, rubbed the cellphone cover off of the record on his jeans and SLAMMED this down. He could MIX!! India was a successful Freestyle (Gino Beats) singer who transitioned to house music. We thanked the stars that she did. Her vocals are very distinctive.
Kevin was actually the first LIVE house DJ I had heard at 16 at "GO GO's", in the 'White Room' on Richmond St & Duncan. He BURNED through records with fast change-ups.
At the end of the night, Jason Palma said there was a STACK of records in a pile beside him OUTSIDE of their sleeves!! He mixes with a frenzy! Jason told that story and I felt it on the dance floor but wasn't privy to the DJ booth ; ) I got in with my cousin's 21yr old ID, I guess since every Chinese guy at that time looked the same ; ) Great for me!
15) Thompson & Lenoir (LNR) - "Can't Stop The House" (1987) LNR, same guys that made the warehouse classic "Work It To The Bone" and "Work That Mutha Fucker", under his alias, Steve Poindexter!!
Wish I had a clean copy of that! The first time Jim and I heard this was at 616 Yonge St., around Wellesley. When AKI threw this down, we almost put our fists through the wall it was that exciting!! FLIPPED OUT! That's HOUSE MUSIC.
16) Murk (Oscar G & Ralf Falcon)/ Liberty City *moniker– "Some Lovin'" (1992) I loved this track so much that for a whole summer, every warehouse I went to, I 'requested' this track. Drove AKI and the rest nuts. But this vocal was SOOOOOOO DIRTY!!! That MURK feel, those baselines!! Then we saw Liberty City perform it live at The OZ on Mercer St.
17) Jestofunk-"Stellar Funk" remixed by Lazzaro (1997) This congo instrumental I played the crap out of back in the vinyl days, mixed it with dozens of different vocals. My personal policy is NEVER REPEAT a combo and it's brought joy to every situation. Great track!!
18) Joe Smooth- "The Promised Land" feat. vocals by Anthony Thomas (1987) What this track does to you is HOUSE MUSIC. Beautiful in every way. Can listen to this and have listened to this OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
19) Instrumental mix by M.A.W. (date?) M.A.W.-River Ocean – "Love & Happiness" (Yemaya Y Ochún) feat. vocals by India (1994) Jim bought doubles of this also and he played the crap out of it! Like a great dessert that's good with EVERY meal. Tracks like this make mixing so much fun because each new combo is a rebirth in emotions.
20) Inner City- "Big Fun" (1988) was when the original by Kevin Saunderson was made, but this remix was made in (2003) by Juan Atkins First time I heard this was at Focus on Joseph St around Wellesley. Nope, not the 'Focus' at City Hall, that was before my time. Play a few bars and people go MENTAL on the dancefloor! Infectious.
21) & 22) The dub mix was remixed by Soul Clap Raze- "Break 4 Love" (2011) vocal mix remixed by Soul Clap.
Raze- "Break 4 Love" (2011) Original (1988) Raze - "Break 4 Love" feat. vocals by Keith Thompson I LOVE EVERY VERSION of the original also, the full vocal, the instrumental bringing out this timeless baseline, and the Spanish female vocal version. Jim bought these remixes and I just lost it. Can't believe Soul Clap got the original vocal by Keith Thompson. They keep the original sounds but brought them to the current times. Like the beginning of the dub and didn't like the beginning of the vocal, so I mixed them together. The original is the best but will have to save it for another time.
23) Remixed by Michel Cleis 'Floreo'(2010) was based on the original M.A.W.- River Ocean – "Love & Happiness" (Yemaya Y Ochún) feat. vocals by India (1994) Jim had double records of this original MAW vocal! This remix revived this track for us!
24) Murk (Oscar G & Ralf Falcon) - "Tried So Hard" feat. vocals by Bobby Pruit (1993) This track reminds me of one of the 1st times I met Vince Ailey, a great Toronto House DJ & producer but back then he was one of the BADDEST dancers! And not that hip-hop dancing to house music crap, real house dancing. We were at a PTS party on Duncan, south of Richmond. The ceilings were low and sweat was dripping off them. That was nasty, but the MUSIC was so addictive, no one left till after 5 am!!
25) Kerri Chandler & Johnny McDougald- "Something Wrong" (1992) Killer track! Chandler is a bricklayer, this is a foundation dub. New house lovers are gonna say "WTF??!!" Jim and I often wonder when we hear a wicked track.. 'how did they come up with this track? the ideas? the sounds?' We should start producing so we can make someone else think that. Hopefully soon...
26) Fingers Inc. (Larry Heard, Ron Wilson & Robert Owens) – "Music Take Me Up" feat. vocals by Robert Owens (1985) My first exposure to house music in a serious way was Fingers tracks, think over a dozen like 'So Glad', 'What About This Love', 'Distant Planet', 'You're Someone Special', 'A Love of My Own', 'A Path', 'Mysteries of Love', 'I'm Strong', 'Can You Feel It' and the list is endless. Tracks got attention those days. We burned the grooves off these records!!
27) Mondo Grosso- "Souffles H" remixed by M.A.W. (1995) How many MAW tracks are in this mix?? Little Louie Vega & Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez is so sick!! How many house tracks copied their swing? Standing on the shoulders of Giants! Let it grow!!
remixed by Tricky Disco - "Tricky Disco" (1990) Love this sexy sax mix! Didn't like this track till it wasn't being played any longer.
28) Jaydee - "Plastic Dreams" (1992) This is an anthem with killer keys!!
The original M.A.W. & Lem Springsteen- "Nite Life" feat. vocals by Kim English (1994) remixed by Armand Van Helden (1994) Love this vocal!! All our fav house DJs in the past played this track. Can't stop dancing to this.
29) Blaze- "So Special" (1990) This was one of my first records and has so many great memories attached to it.
30) Eddie Lewis & Kerri Chandler - "I Need You" feat. vocals by Kamar (1993) Nothing like seeing a smokey dark room with over a hundred people with hands in the air and singing along! House Karaoke!!
31) Cajmere - "Brighter Days" feat. vocals by Dajae (1992) remixed by Karizma & DJ
Spen (2011) Karizma smashed it with this remix!! He kept all the original elements and turbo-boosted the thump of this gorgeous vocal!
32) Dodha & DJ Spen- "Inrowd" (2013) This is not a classic instrumental but reminded me of the old days with its feel and sound. Actually reminded me of Mateo & Matos' track "Raw Elements". I gotta get that vinyl on Discogs!
33) The original is by Jay Williams, Nelson Roman & Rob Hanning - "Sweat" feat. vocals by Jay Williams (1990) This remix by Jojo Flores, probably in 1999. 'Sweat' reminds me of this club in North York, just outside of Toronto, but now part of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). "Inner City" was a wicked club and one of the first to the playhouse. And the dancers there were incredible!! It was that time when everyone got tailored dress pants made and they all had slight to ridiculous bell bottoms. But it seemed so cool at the time watching these guys dance. Jay Williams' vocals on this are legendary and JoJo made this killer remix that made this vocal alive again!
34) Martin Solveig - "Afro Deep" (1999) This is not a classic track but I played the crap out of this congo instrumental. The house feel can be expressed in limitless ways.
35) The original Show Me Love feat. vocals by Robin S (1993) were remixed by Steve Angello & Laidback Luke (2008) in this track. Jim played this remix for the first time at a party a few years ago and EVERYONE went bananas at a certain part near the beginning. You'll definitely KNOW when you FEEL it.
36) Nightmares on Wax - "Aftermath" (1990) This reminds me of a dance my friends DJ'ed at Jarvis Collegiate near Wellesley. That was a party and we were all into HOUSE and danced like crazy. My friend, Noel Nanton (AN INCREDIBLE HOUSE DJ & PRODUCER), got me into the house at 15yrs old (I was in grade 10) and took me to go see Kevin Williams at GO-GO's and some friends had great friends at Jarvis Collegiate and we bonded with tons of house music.
37) Scotti Deep/ Fathoms N.Y. *moniker - "Braniak" (1995) Jim and I went BONKERS when we heard this for the 1st time at a warehouse party. Think it was at the 4th and 5th on Richmond St. It was such a raw and techy bouncy charger!
38) The original Romanthony- "Bring U Up" (1995) remixed by Deetron (2011) I don't know how many Romanthony records we own but he made some great ones. God Rest his Soul. This remix by DeeTron brought this trackback to the current state of affairs. Love remixes of classics that preserve the feel but make it fresh with higher quality sounds.
39) Fingers Inc.- "Bring Down The Walls" feat. vocals by Robert Owens (1986) Bought this digital copy from iTunes. Got every Fingers vinyl! This got so played out it almost sounded commercial. But for those who haven't heard it for years or for the first time - WATCH OUT.
40) John Rocco - "Move" (1987) I first heard this at Jim's house, this was when FreeStyle + House was the sound. We got into it probably by '95. My best memory of this track live was when Kenny Glasgow, now famous 1/2 of the Art Department, dropped this right from the beginning at The Wellington, on Wellington, south of Spadina & King St. Toronto history. Killer thumpin' intro. I never mix this track cause I want to hear that beginning.

dattrax: It was with great sadness as we saw facebook light up with 'Rest in Peace' shout outs to "Romanthony" (real name Anthony Moore, 1967 – May 2013). In Toronto we grew up with Romanthony records like his four-vinyl "Romanworld" compilation, and singles in that album and pre-dated that album like "Now You Want Me" (a Toronto anthem at 3am sat. ngt. warehouse sessions- one of our favourite instrumental house tracks). Other fav vinyls like "Testify", "Trojan Horse", "Bring U Up" and everyone's favorite "Let Me Show You Love".
Time moves past us relentlessly and we have to be thankful and make the best of each day. Mr. Moore's music will influence many many house lovers, djs, producers & vocalists to come.
The great thing about this house music we love is that it's built on the shoulders of giants. The great house music you hear today was built on the sweat and love of house music 20+ yrs ago.
Every track we heard, every DJ we danced to, every mix we felt contributed memories, mind space and reenforces our passion for house.
Enjoy this mix as it opens you to the house tracks that we love right now. Close your eyes, turn it up loud and join us and let your emotions move with each track as we tell you this new story.

house music by dattrax
https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/dattrax
dattrax is Jim and Dat, friends for over three decades, DJ Duo, and fanatic House Fiends! From Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Friends since they were 16yrs old.
Dat creates these themed recorded DJ sessions that are his therapeutic outlet for his emotions, good or bad. When bad, he uses anything to do with house as a release, recharge and renewal, so that he can start fresh another day.
One moment at a time. One step at a time. One crisis at a time. It's all that we can do isn't it?
Dat shares a few words with each mix, called 'Chinses Fortune Cookies".
God gifted him with a love, care and boundless curiosities for WORDs as a little boy.
He was insatiable. He read everything. Wanted to know much. Was the one in every situation, classroom, job or business that was ASKING A ZILLION QUESTIONS.
At 50 young, God took hold of Dat again. The first time was when he was 19. When he heard that, "God Don't Create NO Junk".
The simplicity of this TRUTH melted his heart and he cried like a baby in public.
He had hated himself since he was a little boy of 6 or 7yrs old.
God's Truth is Simple.
Why???!!
So it can reach more people around this beautiful planet.
In Jan 2025, God shared a molecule of knowledge with Dat:
1) EACH PERSON IS CREATED PERFECT IN THEIR IMPERFECTIONS.
2) WE ARE TO LIVE WHAT BELIEVE. SHOW PEOPLE OUR LOVE. NOT JUST TALK ABOUT IT. TALK IS CHEAP. TREAT YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF. TREAT YOUR ENEMIES AS YOURSELF.
3) EACH DAY, YOU WILL FIGHT THE BATTLE IN YOUR MIND WITH YOURSELF. THE ANGEL OR DEVIL ON YOUR CARTOON SHOULDERS. WHO WOULD YOU LISTEN TO NOW? NEXT?
How do we describe our sound? ALWAYS FUN, ENERGETIC, Tech-Fused, Funky-Foot Stompin', Carved Deep and Woven & Laced with Sweet Smooth Hands in the Air Vocals. Strictly House Music- always dattrax.

You get to pick your favourite songs, how fast or slow, how long you want to play them, which part of the song you want to highlight, whether you want to cut it up or layer it and whether you want the feel to be smooth or charging, whether you want... The combinations are endless w/ house music and that much fun!"
