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 cir...

dattrax: How is everyone doing? Life is great with you? I'm very excited to share this new house music mix with you! Been working on this mix for months in the cracks of time between work, seeing my beautiful children on most weekends, networking and hanging out with good friends. Thank you for stopping by and listening to our DJ mixes. Jim and I are best pals and have both loved house since we were 16 and at 40+ we're still addicted to buying house music every month! We hope you like this 3hr t...

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. Coincidentally, September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. "One in 285 children are diagnosed with a malignant cancer by the time they reach their 20th birthday, and one in 5 succumb to cancer." "Go gold ...

There is so much to be thankful for. The family is out and I got laundry going and going, so had time to shake the house with loud house music. This is probably my 4th attempt in weeks at making this mix with these 34 tracks. Been listening to about 50 tracks for the last month and every attempt had highs and lows but wasn't goo...

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 n...

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 yo...

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 a...

Fellow House Fanatics, we have loved & partied to house music endlessly since we were wee little lads and so happy that you've dropped by to share in our passion. We recently did a guest house mix at our good friend, Hubert K's new space in the west end of Toronto, in an industrial warehouse district called "The Junction". His CTRL ROOM's sound system is SICK!!!!!!! Thank you Hubert for inviting us. Much appreciated. Hubert has a hunger for great house music of any sub genre and has been par...

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 b...

'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 ...

It's been two months since the last mix, so we promise to put at least one more out this month to bookend this wonderful summer. Made this mix over probably five times to get the right feel to properly showcase these tracks. Mixed for those who know and a huge welcome to those who want to taste test some underground house.

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'...

It's been a while Fellow House Fiends, hope everyone is enjoying family & friends, life and working hard achieving your goals. It's increasingly more difficult to put aside time for this love of ours called House Music. But we would be thrilled if this house mix put a huge smile on your face, make you shake a little, and make you forget your deadlines at work, financial challenges or any other struggles. Leave that stress and get lost into the sounds. House is such a force. One of the only t...

Afflicted with the house bug? Don't worry, we know how you feel. Been addicted to house music since were were 16yrs old. This is the best time for house music we've ever seen. It's wonderful to be excited every week about new house tracks you've never heard at your favourite mp3 stores. House DJ/ Producer friends on facebook and twitter sharing their mixes, their youtube video picks of cool house related stuff- it's endless!! Parties with different types of house music all over the city, tons of...

Again we are in a position where there is SO MUCH GREAT HOUSE MUSIC COMING out each week, and so little time making good mixes. Jim and I (for those who don't know we DJ together as 'dattrax' and have been best friends for ages) have bought a few more batches since we bought the music on this mix a few months ago. So we have enough new music (well... new to us since we didn't hear these tracks before) for three more mixes after this one. Have soooooo many mixes in mind to make and so little time...

Hello Fellow HOUSE FIENDS!! Can't believe it's been over a month since we had a chance to post a new house mix... where does the time go? With work and family there's hardly enough time for house... it's a crime. Jim, my DJ Partner and I are beat junkies and are constantly hunting for new tracks. Not "new" tracks meaning that they have to be current, just new to us. That's the great thing about house, the music is timeless and because it is so powerful when you hear it you, you instantly associa...
