On March 14th I had the pleasure again to play with my boys of the WCC at our favorite club BALANCE.  It was one of most fun night with an amazing enthusiastic en responsive crowd that really knew their House Music.  We met some amazing people who after talking to them reminded us why we love to do this.  We did record the full 6 hours and we are going to make that set available this week on the WCC site.  It will be available as MP3 and/or ACC with track ID and indexing.  Instead of having one huge 6 hour file we broke it off into six 1 hour sets just to make it more manageable and that you can play seamlessly back to back. If you have and know your way around an audio editing program you can splice them all together as one big set.  We've posted the sets on our Facebook fan page where you can stream them to check them out.  Again they will be available soon for download. I will send a quick mail to everyone when they are ready.

We've also added short video clips of that night on our Facebook fan page but if your not on Facebook you can check out the videos on this new video page on my site.

The WCC will be back for a full night at BALANCE on April 25th.  We are going to be welcoming the summer West Coast Styleeee.

WCC RADIO EP-016 (April 2009) is ready for download on the radio page either as an ACC (better) or MP3 (booooo) file. This month we go back to our original format which is fresh tunes mixed with rare (and sometimes obvious) classics that still hold up the dance floor today. New music from Martin East of Kapa Music (my pick this month), Random Soul, Tortured Soul, Richard Earnshaw and others. Also an awesome remix of Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" from 1200 Warriors and the classic track is courtesy of Lisa Stansfield. I don't know why but lately I've been seeking out her tracks and especially her old remixes. She had such an incredible soulful voice and she reminds me of what was good and positive about the 90s. I got my hands on some of her accapellas and I'll see if I can do a bootleg of one of her tracks with the help of some of my friends who know what they are doing.

Speaking of accapellas I did some experimenting and live edits at the beginning of the mix with that real jazzy track from Stacey Mallory and over the Martin East track. And last but not least a very rare Jay-J / Chris Lum remix featuring Latrice Barnett.  From what Jay-J told me this was the first time that Latrice had worked with them. The stories goes that Latrice was at Moulton Studios to record with Chris and Jay-J the classic "Summer Time" that came out on Loveslap. Both producers were also finishing a remix of Brancaccio & Aisher's "It's gonna Be a Lovely Day". They had an idea to throw some vocals over the remix and asked Latrice to improvise over the track to warm up her voice. The result is track #17 of this episode. This remix never came out because the label didn't like the vocals. Big mistake. I think it's amazing, the best version and now vary rare. I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to rate the show after you've listen to the whole set.

WCC RADIO EP-015 (March 2009) is ready to be downloaded on the radio page. It's March so this is the Miami WMC edition of the show and I did something different with this episode. Instead of playing some of the new tracks that will be hot at this year's conference (not that impressed so far) I did a set with 19 tracks that really floated my boat from previous conferences. These are tracks that range from the last 10 years or so. I picked these tracks because they made an impression on me when I heard them for the first time in Miami. Don't expect anything too underground. These are high energy tracks that really made people dance and have summer written all over them. Very Miami you might say. Think Defected and In The House of the late 90s and early 2000. I hope you like it and next month when I'm back from the conference with new tunes I will return to a deeper more underground sound. I will also post in a few days details of where I'm playing in Miami for WMC.

You will also notice that on the download page you will find two links for the mix. One is for the ACC and the other is for an MP3. Please only download one. I recommend the ACC for reasons outlined here. If the ACC doesn't work with your player only then download the MP3. Bandwidth costs money and I don't want to pollute this site with advertisements so I can cover the costs of the extra bandwidth.
