It’s my favorite time of year… Halloween — aka: gay Christmas! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been quite busy putting together the requisite 4 costumes required by all gay men in order to celebrate on no less than 5 different nights… beginning 3 weeks before Halloween night. (while allowed to recycle at least one lewk from a previous year, of course!) Just thinking about it is daunting…. so, here’s a new soundtrack to dance around and listen to while gettin’ ready! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Y’ALL! Here...

Not every podcast can be all peak-hour beats and I’ve had a number of requests lately for a new pop music mix that can work for a house party that isn’t necessarily an after-hours soiree. While I’ll have a new progressive circuit set coming before Halloween, here’s some lighter listening to put on as the weather starts to cool down a bit. However, my fall is just starting to heat up… here’s where you’ll be able to catch me over the next few months: Oct. 14th – The Chapel at The Abbey, West Holly...

The dog days of summer are here again and I’ve got new beats to keep you powering through. I’m just back from an amazing time playing up in Vancouver for their Pride weekend and now I’m already looking forward to the fall. I’m curious to hear… what was the song of the summer for you? “No Tears Left To Cry” by Ariana? “Heart To Break” by Kim Petras? “Missing U” by Robyn”? Leave a comment and let me know! As summer winds down, I’m going to be playing fewer gigs, but here’s where you’ll be able to ...

I hope everyone’s summer is off to a wonderful start. The latest installment in my #PugLife podcast series is here to keep you dancing during longer and sunnier days. As some of you may know, my last podcast wasn’t in this feed, but rather, was featured as a guest mix for DJ Grind – if you haven’t listened to it yet, you can check it out here: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/djgrind/episodes/2018-03-30T15_42_00-07_00 I’m going to be traveling a lot over the next couple of months – mostly in I...

I can't believe it's been over a year since I've put out a tech-house podcast and I've been itching to do another one for a while now. I've really found myself gravitating towards this sound lately - especially after traveling to Australia over the holidays - so here we go! You can catch me playing later this month at ELEVATION: Mammoth Gay Ski Week, March 15th - 18th! Enjoy!

It’s been a beat since my last podcast – I headed back to a full-time job this past fall and most of my free time has been focused on production work and live gigs, so I’ve let my podcast output suffer a bit. But I’m excited to start 2018 off right with a new high-energy installment of my #PugLife series. I decided to bookend this podcast with P!nk, because, well, I’m obsessed. The opener is a mashup I made and have been using in my recent live sets of Block & Crown and Luca Debonaire’s new ...

Happy Labor Day weekend! It’s been a doozy of a summer in this crazy world we live in, but it’s still been an amazing time for great music. My latest podcast is here just in time to serve you one final dose of summertime shenanigans. It’s also my personal favorite podcast that I’ve made (so far) in 2017. This podcast is a preview of my upcoming gig at Jungle in Atlanta for Ready4Hope, A Party with a Purpose to benefit Atlanta AIDS Walk — helping those in our community that are infected or affect...

Every once in a while, I like changing things up. It’s been over a year since I’ve posted a deep house set and I’ve had way too many amazing deep tracks lately that I’ve wanted to put together in a podcast. So, here’s an extra chapter in-between my normal dance floor entries. The perfect late summer mix for an afternoon around the pool or an end of the night unwind. I hope you enjoy listening. The Tracklist: 1) Desperado (MK Remix Extended) - Rihanna 2) Real Life (Terrace Dub) - Duke Dumont, Gor...

It’s been a couple of months since my last podcast. I took this year off from doing a June pride edition to recover from a car break-in, during which my laptop and bunch of my music were stolen. It sucks that we live in a world where people feel the need to steal, but I justify it by telling myself that they must’ve needed my belongings more than I did. Hey, there’s a silver lining to everything, right? However, I didn’t take June off from making new music. This high-energy mid-summer podcast co...

I couldn’t be more excited to be heading back soon to Pensacola, Florida, for my 3rd Memorial Day in a row. It’s one of my favorite weekends of the year, filled with a great crowd that gathers from all over to dance the night away on the beach together. I’m also thrilled to feature music from all 7 DJs that are going to be playing throughout the weekend, all of whom I call friends – Joe Ross, Drew G, Dani Toro, Joe Gauthreaux, Hector Fonseca, and DJ Grind. I hope this podcast helps get you in th...

My house music podcast series continues with its third installment, which I can honestly say is one of my all-time favorite sets.

If you enjoy, please share! (mixed at 125 BPM) The Tracklist: 1) Cloud 9 (Purple Disco Machine Remix) - Jamiroquai 2) Lick Me Up (Lucius Lowe Lick The Funk Mix) - Tony Moran & Dani T...

As the world pushes forward into one of the most uncertain eras of modern times, I think everyone’s taking a little bit of refuge in the familiar. Updates are everywhere in dance music in 2017. And this podcast consists entirely of updates of classics, including several of my favorite dance floor tracks of all time. Close your eyes, listen to the music, and enjoy the journey. (and it’s a long one, I know!) Personally, I’m committing myself to stay vigilant – to fight injustice wherever I encount...

The holiday season never feels easy. But it’s nice to be able to find some moments to dance, rejoice, and to be grateful for everything that each of us has in our lives. Whatever holiday you may be celebrating this season, I hope you take some moments to slow down and find some time for reflection. But also, be sure to also take a little time to dance and go crazy. Hopefully, my podcast has helped bring a little joy to this very tough 2016. Enjoy! DJ BLACKLOW UPCOMING GIGS: DEC. 23rd - FRESH, Fl...

Just in time for Labor Day weekend 2016, my latest podcast takes things back to the classic house sound that I’ve been gravitating towards so much of late. I got such a tremendous positive response on “House Is A Feeling (Vol. 1)” that I’m excited to hear reaction from everyone on this next entry. And coming very soon: “Tech-nically Speaking (Vol. 2)” - (my latest tech house entry!) If you enjoy this podcast, please share it!

Music Festival at San Diego Pride; a weekend that’s gearing up to be what feels like is going to be the biggest pride celebration on the west coast this summer. On Saturday night, I’ll be playing at OVERDRIVE at Spin Nightclub, alongside three absolute legends: Ivan Gomez, Nina Flowers and Dawna Montell. I hope you enjoy this podcast.

Just under the wire… it’s my new podcast for Memorial Day weekend 2016. I’m thrilled to be playing at Emerald City nightclub this year for the huge crowd that descends upon Florida’s panhandle to kick-off to summer. It’s a long tradition that I’m thrilled to now be a part of. I experienced my first Memorial Day in Pensacola last year, and I’m happy to say that I’m officially a convert. I can’t wait to see everyone on the dancefloor on Friday, May 27th. And be sure to also catch Dani Toro and Joe...

So, in line with this sentiment of spring, I’m going to begin again with my #PugLife podcast series – the installments of which will all consist of big room high-energy remixes intent on getting you dancing. I’ve done several edits on some of my favorite current tracks for this podcast. Also, I hope you enjoy the first full length listen online of Georg...

It’s time for #3 of my “4 podcasts in 4 weeks” series – the classic house entry! OK, so maybe the “in 4 weeks” part isn’t applying so much… but hey, these take a long time! This is by far my favorite genre that I’m working on in my series. Most of it’s set at 125 BPM, although there’s a small push to 127 towards the end. Please share if you enjoy!

(to be followed soon by my classic house and latest deep house podcasts!)

There’s been so much great new music out lately, that before the end of the year, I’m putting out not just one more podcast… but, four. The first, right here, is a high-energy dance floor circuit mix, reminiscent of my recent podcasts and the sounds you're most used to from me. It’ll be followed by a tech house mix, a deep house mix, and lastly, a classic house mix. I hope you enjoy all of them for different moods or occasions th...

Hey All, I’d like to write a very special thank you to everyone who came out for Halloween New Orleans this year. It was truly one of the most amazing nights of my DJ career to date and Saturday night’s “Fall of the Pharaohs” event was definitely one for the record books. I felt like Daft Punk spinning in that pyramid. I don’t always post my sets, but this one I did indeed record. I hope you enjoy re-living the memories from the night… throw it on at the gym and hopefully the gold body paint wil...

(re-updated, Jan. 2016!) We're midway through summer and it's time for my latest podcast. It's been an amazing past couple of months for me, as I've traveled across the U.S. several times to play everywhere from Pensacola to NYC, New Orleans to Atlanta, and Vegas to Vancouver. If ever one of my podcasts plays like a bell curve, it's this one … a true journey of sound that builds up with a tech house intro, peaks in the middle with a high-energy circuit set, and then slowly cools down with some f...

I'm very excited to present my latest deep house podcast – Deep Spring House, Part 2. I keep getting such great feedback on my deep house projects that I can't help but want to keep going with them. Someone this past weekend told me at LA Pride that it was his "go to music for gettin' it on" – I don't think there's a more flattering compliment. Deep Spring House, Part 2 (it's not officially summer until June 21st… I'm getting this one in just under the wire!), is also the first podcast I've ever...

Another June is here and another Pride season is upon us. With the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, it feels like it's going to be an extra special summer. I'm thrilled to be playing Pride events in four cities this summer: my hometown of Los Angeles, my former home of NYC, the ever-hospitable New Orleans, and my Pacific Northwest home (region!) of Vancouver. Genre-wise, this podcast encapsulates a lot of different sounds – like most of my 'casts it's a journey. There's a tech hous...

Hey Everyone, Summer is here and the dance floors are heating up.

This is the official podcast for the weekend. I'd love to thank everyone who supported me in the Matinee DJ contest this year. I didn't win, but it definitely was a growing experience.

I'm very excited to present my latest deep house podcast – Deep Spring House, Part 1. I think for most DJs, sticking to just one sound can get a bit boring. For me, deep house is what I listen to when I'm not in a club… when I need to think on long car rides… when I'm sitting around a friend's pool on a lazy weekend afternoon. Deep house has increasingly become my passion project and I've been working on this latest set for quite a while… in-between other gigs and projects. The BPM on this one v...
