Rhythm Mechanics

What up Chitown and the rest of the world! I bring to you this week a set by Nate Manic, Smartbar’s new music director. He throws down over the airwaves with a hard set of tech house, techno, and electro house that can’t be beat. We then sat down to chat about house music, the past, and where it might head in 2010. Thanks to those of you who called in to win tickets, and congrats to those of you who won! Catch him out at Smartbar on New Year’s Eve! General Admission is just $25 beforehand, or $30 night of. Next week we resume the regular schedule with DJ Sangre starting up the night and myself carrying you through to the next day.

What’s up out there, hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Here’s a quick gift to you from David Britton here out of Chicago. I was dancin around the studio the whole time this set was being mixed. Lots of jazzy, soothing, but funky tracks in here, INCLUDING some by David himself! The man dropped some serious sweat and energy into this set so please give it a listen.  If you must hear more of this awesome style, catch him out at the Uptown Lounge this Saturday Night where he’ll be spinning a mix of this all night long, with no cover and free ice with any mixed drink . He played for about an hour and a half, and then sat down to give his thoughts on house music, where it’s come from, how technology has advanced it, and where it’s going to go. An interview that actually made me feel like a real live radio DJ.

Tune in Next Week when I’ll have Nate from Smartbar on the show giving away a pair of tickets to their NYE show!

I had the pleasure of hosting the lovely ladies of Mixwell House here in the studio on the eve of December. They’ve been hard at work with their radio show on myhouse-yourhouse.net and getting their own record label up and running, but gave up a Monday night to come in and play a set of boompty techy house for us. Enjoy!
