Tracklist for November 25, 2015

Tracklist forthcoming…

Now I know paradise, and I have learned that it means sitting back and remembering all of the good times had in a dingy Ohio basement playing some great tunes for friends. You can’t stay young forever, but when you hear certain songs, you feel the same way you did way back when. And it feels like home.

Factory! Factory! Werk me goddamnit! It’s time to pay our respects to one of the finest dj’s of all time who also once went by the name of DON — the legendary DONALD MATTERN a.k.a. Junior Vasquez. This mix takes us back to the original Sound Factory era when Junior was laying down the sounds of the NY vogue scene. Some of these are his productions, and some are tracks he just used to play out all the time. Either way it is a massive win for humanity. Enjoy.

Anyone who knows Don, knows that he likes to hang out and hustle with his friends. In this episode, Don breaks new ground and rekindles his love for early 90’s hip hop. This is an episode that never would have happened in 2002. But times have changed. Now that soulless EDM and mainstream hip hop genres have merged into some weird autotune mishmash nonsense, Don actually misses the days when hip hop dominated the airwaves.

The odometer rolls over marking the start of Year 2 of the Dance Megamix with Don Play. All week long, Don took requests from his loyal listener base… and… he got nothing. So he just did what he always does, and went to the studio to mix some never before heard tracks. This mix features some rare garage house from the nineties. Stay thirsty, my friends.

The final podcast of the inaugural YEAR of the Dance Megamix literally goes back to our roots. We end the year with a track by the same band that played on the first track of our very first episode — ESG! This is a 2-hour non-stop party of disco soul and party jams. There’s so much good stuff in here, I just had to sneak it in before the year came to a close. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!
