EPISODE 400 IS FINALLY HERE! And it just so happened to coincide with my dearly departed friend, Josh Pressman’s birthday. So I decided to make this one extra special, mixing some of my rarest South African kwaito records (and CDs, and cassettes!) with a mix of other international gems that rarely see the light of day. This mix is an homage to the entire 400 episode catalog of the Dance Megamix, so I included a bunch of tracks that illustrate the breadth and depth of what I try to do on the radio each week. Some of these cuts are EXTREMELY obscure. Others are extremely commercial. But what they have in common is simple: they simply work.

I hope you have as much fun listening as I had recording it. Here’s to another 100 episodes on the radio and online!

My Adam’s apple is still vibrating from this mix! This week I’m bringing back some good old fashioned “circuit” music, or “main room” house music. Two of my favorite tribal labels were Star 69 and Twisted America, and this mix pays homage to each of those. If you’ve never danced all night in a sea of shirtless muscle boys to the music of Peter Rauhofer or Victor Calderone played on a Steve Dash soundsystem, you really haven’t lived life to its fullest!
