Summer Series GuestMix Vol. 5 - Casual Encounters

After a nice, long, three-day weekend, DPC is back with some freshly harvested beats. Yesterday was Labor Day, which marked the unofficial end of the summer. Today, we will be officially ending our Summer Series GuestMixes with a new guest mix from Casual Encounters.

Casual Encounters is made up of Shawn Mac of Houston and Chas Bronz of Boston. The duo teams up from afar to produce their flavor of casual Deep House/Disco music. The two have been working together for around three years, but only recently met face to face for the first time. In July 2012, they released their Casual Boogie EP on Skycreaker Records, which featured remixes from Drop Out Orchestra, Rocco Raimundo, and Andrew Clark. Check out clips of each track right here:



Shawn Mac, originally from Orange County, California, helped found SpaceWalker Recordings in 2009. The label has released original tracks from the likes of Toomy Disco, Claes Rosen, Honom, as well as Casual Encounters and Chas Bronz. Recently, he started his own record label called Dancefloor Encounters. The labels’ debut release, Welcome to the Dancefloor EP, will be out soon and you can preview it below. “The Welcome to the Dancefloor Sampler provides four tracks that will definitely have you moving after the first listen and help reminisce, plan, and for-see the act of moving our joints and bodies which we know as dancing.” It features a Casual Encounters collaboration with the Beat Broker and Evie titled “For the Win” (FTW!).

AFTER THE JUMP...

Casual Encounters (of the dancefloor kind?) - September Mix

I originally posted this one on our Facebook page, but I soon realized it was entirely to good not to do full on blog post about. Shawn Mac and Chas Bronz , from Houston and Boston respectively, are helping to get September started off right with their new mix. There's been tons of heat dropped during the course August's mix releases. Casual Encounters are chilling things out (in a very good way) with their September mix. Smooth transitions are only outdone by the fantastic track selections in this one. There wasn't a track a I didn't enjoy, but there were few I absolutely loved. Their track done with Odahl, "I don't Know", and Sofwar's remix of Mitzi's "Morning Light"were two I especially liked. Oh, keep your ears opened for the Disco'd-out treatment of Biggie's "Juicy". The whole arrangement is a smooth, sexy, and body groovin' mix of Nu/Disco and House tracks. Enjoy!
