Episode 146: To Be Near You » sTRictLy hOuSe mUSiC

dattrax: WELCOME!!! I don't know if you came by accident or intention, but thank you for taking a listen to this new house music mix.

If you love house, then you'll have no regrets here. If you don't love house, then thank goodness that the internet is vast and you can always find your tribe who you can connect with and speak your language and can energize you.

There's nothing like house music for personal expression. In mixing or dancing; giving or receiving.

There's nothing more important than creating art that personally moves you.
Turning personal negative, pain, suffering or trauma energy into creative beauty.

I wish all the best in your daily lives. I hope that you love, forgive and express often.

Until the next dattrax mix is completed.

Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: HIYA Fellow House Fiends. How are you??!! Welcome!!! I hope that you're doing well and if you're not, then I wish that you're making plans to change that. Whatever stress or challenges you're going through. I'm cheering for you!!

I'm also going to take you away for two hours. Is that ok with you???!! 39 Tracks in 2hrs and 5mins!!

This puppy took three attempts. LMAO. If I could DJ a few hours per night, my skills would be better. Lol
My DJ'ing was so much better and tighter when I was young and spinning a lot.

Now, my blending is more sophisticated, but the tightness is blah.

Every one of my mixes has mistakes. It's just tolerable since I've never been able to make perfect no-mistakes sessions.

Thank you for taking this puppy for a spin. If you love house and beautiful vocals, then you'll LOVE this.

All the best to you and those you love.
Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: WELCOME FELLOW HOUSE AFICIONADOS!! This is where house music rests.
How are you doing? How's your health? Your career or business? If you're struggling, then you're definitely NOT ALONE.

The good thing is that some good house music can be a great escape. Dance a little. Walk a little to this or workout to it. Let out your stress. Then, tomorrow, you put on your best smile and attitude and battle against any negativity in your mind for another day. Decide to be your best cheerleader, and STOP talking negatively to yourself. Sorry, that's my Chinese Fortune Cookie Hi-Five and encouraging words to you. (Not sure if anyone reads my show notes. LMAO!!!!!!!) You don't want any weird opinions from a DJ right?? Of course not. Let's crank up the volume on this PUPPY!!!!!)

Thank you for dropping by and taking this recorded session for a listen. MixONE took 4 attempts because I suck and changed directions every time. LMAO. It's so much fun but also frustrating sometimes.

I really hope that you enjoy these two mixes. Fortunately, MixTWO took one attempt. Lol

Have a super day or night from wherever you're located. Thank you for listening to my passion.

Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: HIYA Fellow House FANATICS!!! Welcome to where house music resides. If you like house, you'll LOVE my recorded sessions.

I want to thank you for stopping by and trying out my mixes. I appreciate you and hope you'll enjoy listening and dancing to the house music that moves me.

Put together with love in musical collages that I create to amuse myself, fuel my curiosity and act as an outlet to work out and work through my negative thoughts and emotions. It's therapeutic,

I make each mix for two people. Myself and then for my best friend, Jimmy. If I don't love it, then delete. Back to the drawing board another time.

If Jim likes a mix, then I'm extremely happy.

When anyone else likes a mix I've made, then that's just extra blessings and more gravy on top.

"Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things."
Tom Petty

I hope that you are working to fulfill your goals and dreams. You beat or ignore any voice that seeks to be an obstacle, especially the one between your ears.

I just wanted to say that to you before my house-related rant or thoughts.

------------------------------
House has endlessly fascinated me since I was 15.

I met some friends from a high school downtown Toronto called Jarvis Collegiate through a mutual friend while I was going to one in North York called George S. Henry, which is just north of the city. (currently, North York, along with 24 other urban, suburban, and rural municipalities, is part of the "GTA" or the "Greater Toronto Area").

They loved to listen, mix and dance to house music vinyl records.

After a few records, I was hooked. This structure of four four beats with endless creative possibilities within. It was infectious. I got goosebumps. I felt something in my gut. I automatically smiled.

All the best to you. Sending you positive vibes...
Cheers, dattrax

There are no guarantees in life, but if you hear house music and it speaks to you, the least it will do is put a smile on your face and brighten your day.

If it doesn't connect,  then I'm sure there's another form of music that you'll love out there. Keep exploring.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Fiends and Happy Freaking New Year!!!

Come to where house music resides. If you LOVE house music, then I'll match that emotion.

For an hour and a half, let me take you away from your stress and problems. Let the music move you. Wash you. Refresh you.

Then the coming day, you can put on a smile, put on your best attitude, dress sharp and kick some ass in whatever you're doing and passionate about. I wish you a fantastic 2024. Let's go!! Go get yours!!

[I finished this session (2nd attempt. LMAO) and realized I had forgotten two of the new tracks I bought out of this new batch of 31. It's so annoying but funny. Till the coming mix, these two tracks are insanely great!!!!!!!]

Welcome, Dear House Music Lovers, to where the house resides. Thank you for stopping by and giving my mixes a listen.

I can't believe that it's already the end of the year. What have you learned? What are you planning for 2024?
Are you excited to dive into 2024 and accomplish your goals?

Just wanted to share three things that I've learned this year. If it can help you, then that's great. If not, then pls ignore.

1) Each day, I must win the battle against the negativity drifting into my mind. I have to be my #1 cheerleader because no one else will

2) Consistency creates emotional stability on a personal level or in your team when you're a manager/leader of people

3) Identity drives behaviour. In each area of life, the image of the person I want to become makes decisions binary, yes or no, regarding choices that either move me closer to or further away from my desired identity

All the best to you in the last few days of 2023 and this coming 2024!!
Cheers, dattrax

dattrax: Welcome, Fellow House Music Aficionados!! This is where house music resides.
I make recorded mixes to satisfy my curiosity in this art form, release stress, and engage in self-therapy. But, back in the day, it was our DJ moniker back in the day, "dattrax" was for live events... We are a dynamic DJ duo hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Jim and Dat, lifelong friends since we were 16 and passionate House Fiends with over three decades of musical camaraderie, comprise us.

Our world revolves around house music and anything we love that can be mixed with house music instrumentals. Dive into our shared passion, enjoy the tunes (there are now over 160+ mixes on this site/mobile app, "Podomatic" - search for 'house music by dattrax'), and don't forget to share your thoughts after listening — your feedback is our inspiration.

In the words of our original DJ bio written a lifetime ago: "For us, house music is more than just underground dance music; it's the ultimate form of self-expression, a musical cut and paste where you craft your unique sonic journey. Choose your favourite tracks, set the pace, highlight the moments that resonate with you, EQ the sound ranges that move you and create a musical experience that's uniquely yours."

We're committed to delivering our best, investing time, energy, and love. Our discerning taste is evident in our meticulous vinyl and mp3 selection process - only buying the tracks that give us goosebumps, elicit a 'Wowzers' in our guts or make us raise our fists in the air.

Join us on this musical adventure, where the combinations are endless, the energy is infectious, and every track is chosen with care and mixed with respect to the creators of the tracks. Welcome to the dattrax sound! I wish you all the best in your corner of the world as the holiday season approaches and the possibilities of a new outcome for each of us in the new year.

dattrax: Welcome Fellow Fans of House Music to where house resides. How are you doing? How are the many areas of your life in the part of the world where you are?

I was thinking the other day about the life of a good house music track and how many people it touches and influences. Imagine the producer who creates a track and all that it takes to accomplish that. Then, a DJ finds the track on an MP3 site to purchase or a download promo on a music platform.

Then, the DJ listens to the track repeatedly to learn about it. To funny enjoy it. Then, they mix it along with a set of tracks that they have organized for a live DJ set or a recorded mix.

Then someone listens to it. How do they feel? Where are they? Who are they with? What new memories are created? Do they share with friends on social media? Close friends? Does that track get multiple plays? Does it get experienced in different environments? Does it get consumed during various personal activities?

It's a long and beautiful journey that touches, influences and brings positive emotions to many many people.

It crosses geography, gender, race, religion and anything else that makes us different and yet we're united by a shared experience, joy and love.

All the best to you in your daily battle against the negative of your mind. May you move closer and more decisively towards your dreams and goals.

This mix was created on a Native Instrument's "Traxtor Kontrol S4" controller MK3 version, a crappy PC laptop, and sometimes, we'll additionally use two Stanton 150 direct drive turntables with Traxtor's control vinyl records. That's the best for maximum fun and tactile feel and control.
