The time has come, and I am officially moving on to new and exciting things on Chicago House FM. I’ve had an excellent run here on WNUR Streetbeat, spanning over three years and 100+ episodes of Rhythm Mechanics. I could get all sad and nostalgic, but I’d rather be excited for the future and doing new and better things. I never imagined I would take it this far in the first place, I continue to be impressed by the supportive community at WNUR so I want to give some shoutouts to people who have been a part of my experiences. This is by no means a comprehensive list, I’ve had a pleasure working with everyone involved at the station.

• DJ Jaims – the man who taught me how to put two tracks together in an organized fashion
• DJ Sangre – the other man who taught me some skills, and my longtime cohort on Monday nights.
• Yann M – great friend and fellow WNUR engineer and exec member
• Deluge – teaching me all about what is and what is not real in the world of hip-hop
• M50 – a true inspiration, the things he knows about electronic music are astounding.
• The Chairman – producer when I was music director, we made a pretty sick team.
• D-Long and The Scrimmage – highly entertaining, highly energetic, highly enthusiastic about hip-hop, all I gotta say

And for good measure, here’s the rest of the alphabet. Let me know how it stacks up!

I went to crate some tracks for my show, and only got to J when I sorted by artist… so that gave me an idea, I’d put the first half of the alphabet against the second half of the alphabet on successive weeks. I figure this was a fun way to change things up a little bit. Anyways, here’s A-J!

It’s my special treat to bring to you a live in-studio set from a pair of very well respected DJ’s from opposite ends of the earth. Karl Almaria of course reppin’ the hometown of Chicago as always, but tonight we have with us none other than d-t3ch all the way from Melbourne Austrailia! These two have appeared on the show once before, and I still listen to that set at least once a month (despite Sangre’s yelling every half hour :p). I even managed to get in a solid interview around the 1hr50 mark, so check that out for some information and insight into d-t3ch’s production, shows, and what it means to be into house music.

I was inspired by some great deep house mixes I was jammin’ to over the weekend, went and got a bunch of new tunes and threw down this neat little set. Lower energy, but a great moody mix. TUNE IN NEXT WEEK. D-T3CH WILL BE BACK IN THE STUDIO!
