Well after a little bit of a hiatus, we are back for your dancing pleasure. I hope you all had a great holiday season and are ready to own 2012 as much as Becca is. I have a feeling that it is going to be a great year. There are certainly a lot of DDPs on the horizon if you live in the DC area. First up is Orchard Lounge at U-Hall tonight with friend-of-the-blog, Mr. Bonkerz starting things off. It will surely be a great excuse to do some pelvic thrusts this Hump Day. Check out this great mix that Spencer and Bethany recently put up on their Soundcloud page to get you pumped.
Following an unseasonably warm period that lasted into January, it finally snowed here on Monday. Unfortunately it appears winter has arrived. I was hoping we could just skip winter and proceed right to spring (although I do like skiing and throwing snowballs at unsuspecting pedestrians). Anyway, the C90s released their monthly chart mix yesterday and it will keep you warm by keeping your blood pumping and your body jumping. It features some excellent new material and a couple of old favorites.
Epcot Ball or Giant Disco Ball Space Ship?
The mix kicks off with an excellent new track from Todd Terje's upcoming EP titled "Its the Arps." The song is called "Inspector Norse" and the EP will be out January 16. After a couple remixed tracks that focus on vocal melodies, the Jacques Renault Edit of Machines' "OTP Party Breaks #6" brings the energy level back up before the mix segues into The Swiss's "Double or Nothing." I have heard this track countless times but it never gets old. I feel like the best way to enjoy this track would be bumping it in a giant disco ball space ship that is hurtling through outer space, but hey, that's just me (and some people think I'm weird). Although I don't have time to comment on every track, I really enjoyed "The Ocean, The Sand, The Lorenzo" by Telephones. It starts coming in a little after 50 minutes in and features an incredible synthed out groove. Anyway, enjoy the mix and we hope to see some of you at U-Hall tonight!

The C90s released their October chart mix last night and its a really good one. I'm a big fan of the second song "Dystopia" by Yacht and really dig the Emporer Machine remix. The next track, "Red Light", comes off of Gigamesh's self titled debut EP that will be released the 11th of this month. At this point, the mix slows down into some very diggable slower grooves. About midway through the mix, when Jan Diver's "Commercial" drops, the mix goes into full on DDP mode. The last track of the mix, "Parfait Tirage" is by the up and coming french DJ duo, Paradis and it is quite enjoyable. This 80 minute mix is great from front to back and a superb way to start off your Thursday. Enjoy!

Here's fresh chart mix from London's The C90's. The duo's monthly installments never disappoint. I took quick look at the tracklist and couldn't wait to dive dancing feet first into it. Hot off the disco presses, Oliver's "I Need You" and the Flight Facilities' "Foreign Language" hint at the quality of tracks throughout. From the go, we're treated with some funky synthy disco. This is my kind of mix (see: "I'm a sucker for synth")! A bit after the midway point, put your moon boots on because it gets a little spacey! Dense synth bass lines, lots of beeps and boops. Look out for the editing machine, Rayko's "Whip It". Clocking in at 1hr and 20min, this a super solid mix for sure. Slick transitions, playful FX use, and a great assortment of songs; whether you're looking just to jam out or find some new tracks, this one will leave you satiated (if not, you can always hit play it again!). Enjoy!
