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 "...

dattrax: Wanted to put these tracks into a good mix before they became classic house... really, really wanted to make this mix before Christmas. Unfortunately best laid plans often times don't become realised as work and family leave very small opportunities to indulge in my hobby. But if I had a soundproof room where I can have house music blaring at any time of day or night- wow, that would be a dream! Apologies though... there are two instances where the track playing skips... don't know why ...

dattrax: A friend of a friend that I recently met, Chris Z. went on a trip to Hong Kong in the summer and posted this image on Facecrack that he took at a party. I asked for his permission to use it. Thanks again Chris! Read the sign, it's the best ever! Love it because it has happened or will happen to every House DJ out there when you spin at every crappy venue just to hear your music LOUD. So funny. I saw Karizma on a youtube vid talk about people requesting stuff when you are deep into a hou...

dattrax: Summer is here in Toronto- the sun is shining and the temperature is at a usual beautiful 27 Degrees Celsius and higher- consistently now. Just in time for a summertime all vocal house mix! Usually like to do one of these back to back vocal mixes per year. We usually have a personal DJing rule of never mixing a vocal into a vocal, but we shelve that once per year. Think the last summer mix was "MAINSTAY" (scroll down to find it). Hands in the air and your head bopping as you drive to th...

dattrax: Just bought about 25 new tracks from www.stompy.com and www.traxsource.com + a few older tracks and then banged out this mix. 3rd track in is "In Too Deep", which is a brand new Phil Collins tribute bootleg by Toronto's Jason B. Happy Retirement Mr. Collins. Hope you enjoy this mix, loved making it. Please comment & interact with us below on any mixes that you like. This is the 2nd mix made with the Traktor Kontrol S4 (pictured top). 1st mix w/ S4 is "DIRECT DRIVE" below. Starting t...

dattrax: This mix was a blast to make and received the most 'likes' in Facebook that we've ever gotten when posting mixes in the house music related groups that we've joined. Over 3 dozen 'likes' so far and over 1300 plays/downloads in total (inc. FB visitors), and it's only been up for 3 weeks as of this written post. So happy that others in the world are enjoying our vision of house music, it's very gratifying. Thank you all very much. Please feel free to interact with us in the comment sectio...

dattrax: These past two weeks I've been reacquainted with some old DJ friends and met some new ones on FaceCrack. It's been a blast sharing each others' house mixes online (no more cassette tapes or cds!!). I've been inspired time and time again by tons of great house music from Toronto DJs & Producers. We always think that the grass is greener elsewhere. Torontonians want to talk about how great the house scene is in New York, Miami, San Fran or Europe. We forget that the reason why there a...

dattrax: It amazes us how house has grown into so many genres within itself, but the love of house is universal. It's so much fun to make a mix and share it online with HouseHeadz all over the world. DJing is such a blast!! You get to put together your favourite songs anyway you want. Any speed, any length for each track, how you mix trxs in or out, how you like it to sound with more bass for some or more hi's (guilty). The best part is that you don't have to know any music theory or have any mu...

dattrax: Made this mix with M-Audio's Xponent midi-controller, their Torq software & my laptop. After using my friend's Xponent a few times I'd have to say that I'm not a fan. (Sorry, not being ungrateful Devon. Thank you for letting me borrow it). The cueing of tracks from the beginning on the jog wheels don't work each time, so you have to use the forward/backwards buttons a lot- major pain and time waster. The cross-fader and pitch controls are way too loose- it's difficult to be precise....

dattrax: My DJ Friends often called hunting for great tracks, "Junk Hunting". That's what we all do who love spinning House, don't we? We went though beatport.com & traxsource.com for weeks and probably listened to 2500+ tracks to buy 68 between the both of us. Jim took beatport and I took traxsource. I think our total bill was less than $140 bucks. In the vinyl days, it would have cost at least $1300 for 68EPs. Yup, it was $16.99 (b4 taxes!) for a 4 track EP or 2Trx double sided 12" or some...

dattrax: this mix was made w/ two technics 1200 vinyl turntables, pioneer djm-500 mixer, rane SL1 convertor box, and serato scratch live dj software, itunes playlists and sony soundforge for recording. Borrowed a friend's serato/ rane set up and it is a blast. Had more fun making this mix than most of the last gigs w/ mixing w/ cds. Made about 1/2 a dozen mixes before this on serato. "Mainstay, MixTwo" was made w/ serato/ rane set up. This is the best of the fusion of digital music files and the...

continued: To keep the crowd & staff happy and interested we had to almost completely play all vocals. Imagine DJing for 3-6hrs (depending how busy it was)and changing songs every 3mins (we have house-ADD where we compulsively cannot play tracks for a long time)! I guess that I probably wouldn't want banging house in a non club environment but... No, sure we would! We get into different moods when it comes to spinning types of house music, but usually mix it up- that's our sound. We broke ou...
