I am so excited to announce this new event at QBAR on Castro st in SF! I'll be spinning with various guest DJ's, playing a blend of classic and modern dance music based on the blueprint of Disco, Funk, Soul, House, Italo, HiNRG, New Wave, etc.

In loving memory of one of the very first voices I ever heard in Industrial music. RIP Douglas.

New mash-up. Two of my favorite songs!

Chris Rea - Josephine (1985)
Grace Jones - I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect For You) (1987).

Both tracks are in Ebm and around 110 BPM.

Made this one some time ago. This is all 80's bands that have a reputation as being "one-hit-wonders" (a term I personally despise), but this mix just proves how wrong that statement is about these bands, as all of these songs had hit potential but were never hits

One of those covers that got me completely off guard. Excellent rendition of a song that is very hard to cover! Simply because the original is so good!

A band from Germany, that I discovered many years ago that I was quite smitten by. I love how they sound like what ABBA might have sounded like, if they had kept going after The Visitors in 1982, and embraced the 1980's aesthetics and music developments.

DAT BASS! Man, I love Orax so much. This dude's vibes are so in line with my tastes. From doing Spaghetti Western inspired Darksynth, to whatever this glorious proggy, disco, funk rock synth hybrid is!

And speaking of re-inventing other songs. The Chi-Lites rendition of Marvin Gaye's social-justice ballad "Inner City Blues", invigorates it with multiple layers of dramatic strings, and other sonic textures not found in the original.

Originally released by The James Gang in 1969, the Three Degrees gave this spooky soul song a whole new vibe. One of my favorites to spin around Halloween.

I love most songs about my home state and or city. But some are waaaay better than others. The Main Ingredient's 1974 classic "California My Way" is one such song. Fun fact: That is Cuba Gooding Sr. on lead vocals (father of actor Cuba Gooding Jr).

One of my favorite classic Philly Soul songs. Such a chill, pastoral vibe to this one. Really great for lounging on a green grassy field to.

The Manhattans - The Day The Robin Sang to Me (1973)

A very cool Greek remix/cover of the classic Surf instrumental "Apache". Also famously covered by The Incredible Bongo Band and later The Sugarhill Gang.

An awesome and catchy Spanish Disco/Funk/Wave song.

A beautiful ode to a furry friend. Tropical/Minimal/Psych/House.

Insanely good Turkish Psychedelic Electro/Hard Rock! This is almost Goth-Rock.

Enjoy some amazing Turkish Synthwave!

I am just starting to migrate over here, so here's a song I've been enjoying a lot lately.

Algerian Disco. If you can't get down to this, I'm sorry for you.
