dattrax: WOW!!! Two months since the last mix was uploaded.
In an ideal world I'd love to pump out a mix a week, and much respect to the DJs that regularly pump out house mixes. Lots of discipline and love displayed there. Thank you to all the HOUSE DJS out there for sharing with people your hard work finding the gems, and piecing together something that can be enjoyed with multiple listens and shared with like-minded friends.
Please check out our Toronto, Ontario, Canada Facebook group called "TORONTO HOUSE DJ MIXES"- the name pretty much says it all. Basically, only HOUSE MIXES made by TORONTO DJs are posted in this group. No spam, no filler- Strictly HOUSE!! (here's the link- you don't have to join to listen, share or download so pls help spread the word: http://www.budurl.com/TORONTOHOUSEDJMIXES ).
Right now the group is just over a year old and has 136 Toronto House DJs and over 630 house mixes. With that much choice no one can ever complain that they can't find what they love! We want to build the largest online collection of Toronto house mixes.
The idea came to me last Jan-2011 when I was reminiscing about when I first got into house music and it was difficult to get even ONE mix cassette tape from a good house DJ. And when you got one, well... you played it so much it would almost come apart.
Now with the internet- there's too much choice and it's so easy to share one's vision of house music with others. So I wanted to enjoy, learn and be inspired by my fellow Brothers and Sisters in HOUSE in our beloved city of Toronto.
IT'S NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD FOR HOUSE MUSIC!!
Toronto is a city brimming with underground house music fiends for over 20yrs because of so many great DJs paving the way and making people fall in love with this music, DJs that have influenced my DJ partner and best friend, Jim and I through many many great memories and tons of record hunting... back to influences: Kevin Williams, Mark & Aki, Peter, Tyrone & Shams (PTS), Dave Campbell, Jason Palma, Dino & Terry, Noel Nanton, Nick Holder, Patrick "D-Nice", Eric Ling and many more. More recently Jason B., Gene King & Jason Hodges.
Some of our Outside-of-Toronto house dj or producer influences have been (that first come to mind): Little Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez (MAW), Derrick Carter, Wally Calleiro, Phonique, Luke Solomon and Justin Harris (MFF), Roger Sanchez, John Tejada, Alland Byallo, Stas Shiprinksi, Lee Kalts, Soul Clap, Greenskeepers, Said Chaara, Matthew Dear, Chuck Love, Chuck Daniel, DJ Sneak, Cevin Fisher, Rob Mello, Dub Taylor, Steve Lawler, Danny Tenaglia, Doc Martin, Frankie Knuckles, Fingers Inc., etc., etc., etc. and then some...
With every track bought, every mix made, and every gig played we pay tribute to all the house producers and house DJs that have impacted us over the years and to all the house promoters that gave us all those magical nights and even the not so great nights to learn what we didn't like. We are very grateful of all these experiences and all the wonderful people we've met over the years. Afterall, are we not the sum total of all we've every experienced and the result of every day to day decision?
