Classic House

Classic mixes and more

People are always asking where are my classic mixes from the early 2000's. The reason I don't keep everything here is mainly because of space and bandwidth but now you can find them on the new WCC site. We have completely revamp our site for 2010. You have to check it out. Big up to Kevin for doing this. Here is the description from the WCC site for The Vault:

As we’re doing a bit of 2010 ‘house’ cleaning to the website in order to make it a bit more fan-friendly, we certainly couldn’t remove ALL the mixes we’ve done over the past 10 years.  So for a limited time, we’ve decided to create “The WCC Vault” of classic mixes.
Here you can find a range of mixes from house, to downtempo, to funk, soul, and all around amazing music that we’ve put together over our journey through the past 10 years.  Hope you enjoy and certainly feel free to pass these along to all that might enjoy.

WCC RADIO EP-024 Special Classics Show

WCC Radio EP-024 is here. Last one of the 2009. Two freakin' years already!! Actually if you count when the show was called "Shameless Sessions" then it's been longer than that and boy do I have a treat for you with this one. I was in San Francisco for the Thanks Giving holiday to hang out with my bud Jay-J. He was doing a gig with his old producer partner Chris Lum at Temple on friday and then on Saturday he was playing with Julius Papp and David Harness at Mars Bar for a classics night. OMG they blew the roof of that place. The music was incredible, the mixing was flawless and the crowd gave me hope about the scene again. All the old heads came out. They left the kids with the babysitter and came out for one reason only: to dance! Watching and listening to these 3 veteran of the West Coast Sound playing back to back and switching it up every 30 minutes was so inspiring (BTW Jay-J recorded the set and he will have it as a podcast soon). Hence EP-024 which are some of my favorite classics. Not the usual stuff you hear in these classics show but more like the stuff that wasn't overplayed. If you were a club rat like I was in the mid to late 90's you will go "hell yeah" and raise your hands in the air as you listen to this set. You might have to take out the baby powder for the full experience (the heads know what I'm talking about:) I had to dust off some the old vinyls for some of these tracks so I apologize in advance for the fluctuating sound quality of the set. I also need to thank Jay-J for hooking me up with some of these tracks that are virtually impossible to find anymore and will never come out as digital.

It's funny that after I wrote that entry about our scene things seem to be showing signs of improvement. The San Francisco trip certainly made me come back with a smile and new energy and hope. Here in Los Angeles things seem to be picking up also. Some new local events (that actually play soulful house) are filling the clubs. Tortured Soul played this past week end and the place was also packed with happy people that just wanted to get their groove on. We might turn this ship around after all. Thank you to all who contributed to the entry and wrote in their two cents.

Please let me know what you think of this episode. Thanks to all who have supported the show these last two years. Hope we can keep it going for a lot more.

How Cool is This?

Didn't even know that there was a video for this classic track. The video has reminiscence of Madonna's Vogue video but the music is so much better. How good does India also looks? This was 1993. I didn't even recognize her. Is it a stand in? Thanks to DJ Menny for pointing me to this video.
