Live Sets:
 |
There's nothing like a live set! The mixes aren't always perfect, the music is a bit more spontaneous, and the energy is more organic; they almost have a pulse of their own. So grab these live sets, and see what a night at the club sounds like when this DJ is in the booth! But get 'em while you can; they may not be here forever. |

"Press Play" is a chance for me to try new, and sometimes different things I might not otherwise get to do in a live setting; or explore musical (or other) themes for 80-90 minutes. |

Episode 30: 30 Pop
It's all about love, sex, and money; it always has been and always will be. Episode 30 of "Press Play" pays homage to the way the world goes 'round with the latest crop of chart-toppers; it's a 30 Pop!
Episode 29: Socket
You feel the spark. It's shocking at first. Then energizing. It makes you want to move. It makes you want to groove. It makes you want to let go. To paraphrase Timothy Leary: Turn on, plug in, drop out; your Socket is waiting!
Episode 28: Contempo
Fresh tracks, some just minted, with a few old familiar songs given a new lease on life, along with a little twist, and you have what amounts to a set that's "hip," that's "happening," and that's "now." Just call it "Contempo" for short!
