Deep House / Melodic Techno / Emotional Robot / Breaks.
 
After watching lots of video mixes on YouTube recently by the likes of DJ Boring and Kilimanjaro (check out their Boiler Room sets by the way), I got inspiration to get creative and use the effects and other channels more and to cut up tracks and do some samples. We don't always have to do missionary do we?! It's nice to experiment and add a bit more flavour to the mix. Check out my YouTube channel for the live video mixes to emobot 4, emobot 3 and emobot 2, including a super trippy version of part 3. As always huge shout out to the artists. There are some bonkers tunes on here that are just too good to explain in writing. My particular faves are M.O.S's Na Vode Luna Igraet and Accidental Lovers by Jody Barr & Felicia Douglass.

Deep House / Melodic Techno / Emotional Robot / Breaks.
 
After Emotional Robot parts 1 & 2, this mix took me 3 months to sit and stew over the tracklist. I've been listening to dozens of mixes trying to find the best tunes for part 3. There are a fair few Sasha and Lee Burridge tunes from their last 5 or 6 mixes. I've also added a bit of Bicep flavour to it in the middle and gone for some breaks and much faster dnb. In fact, there are quite a lot of tempo / bpm ranges in this one. Some amazing tunes. Indescribable.
 
Leafar Legov - In your Mirror, Nelly Furtado - Say It Right (Mass Digital Remix), Bajau Feat. Zoe Kypri - Flip Of The Coin (feat. Zoe Kypri), Declan McKenna - The Key to Life on Earth (TSHA Remix), TSHA - Me You, Bicep - Vale, Tom VR - Golden Memory, DJ Seinfeld - Electrian, Etherwood - Belorama, Roy Rosenfeld - Gran Poema, Matthew DeKay & Lee Burridge - Lost in a Moment, Rodriguez Jr Feat.

Deep House/Melodic Techno/Electronica
 
Following up on part 1 of the Emotional Robot series, which got into the top charts on Mixcloud for deep house, electronica and deep tech house, here is part 2. This one continues the journey through lockdown tunes. The story continues with our robot protagonist assimilating into the human condition and learning to understand and deal with emotions of sadness and longing. Or at least that's what comes to my mind after putting this mix together. It's a little bit more on the emotive side but with some driving tech house rhythms. Highlights include Charles Webster's beautiful live mix of Love Song 28 and Kolsch and Beacon's Pause. Both tracks featured on a more melodic downtempo Last Night on Earth podcast by Sasha. I think they fit right in here with some of the more driving tech house tracks. The first track 'Sherbert Head' by Boards of Canada I wanted to start with because it's like tuning in to a station before progressing with the mix. Thanks for listening.
 
Boards of Canada -  Sherbert Head, Jullian Gomes - Love Song 28 (Charles Webster Live Mix), Roy Rosenfeld - Helena, Kolsch & Beacon - Pause, Space - Magic Fly (Amonita & Makebo Edit), Sebastien Leger - Giza, Roy Rosenfeld & Guy Mantzur - Kryptonite, Mass Digital - I Need Space to Breathe, Cosmonauts - Ramble, Joel Mull - Gloden, Maceo Plex - Cinemax, Jamie Jones & Harvy Valencia - Electric Mama, FOALS - My Number (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix), BAILE - Without (Tim Green Dub), Clarian - Unrest

Deep Melodic Techno/House/Electronica
This is the first studio mix I've recorded on the Denon DJ Prime 4. It's part of a trilogy series inspired by tracks I've collected since the start of COVID. The tracks are part of a playlist called 'lockdown tunes' and they've been inspired by some of my favourite DJs and artists, especially for this part 1 in the series, Roy Rosenfeld. He features heavily on here with his dreamy melodic tech house. There's something of a middle Eastern vibe going on with this tracklist due in part to Roy but also Sebastian Leger's Lanarka. A big shout out to Lee Burridge as well. This is my take on his mixing style and although not as smooth as Lee I'm happy with the results. There are some amazing tracks on here. Give it a listen.
A Moment of Clarity - Boards of Canada, Symphonic Fantasy - Makebo & Amonita, Hypnosa De La Rosa - Roy Rosenfeld, No Drama (feat. Nadav Dagon) - Roy Rosenfeld, The Light - Mass Digital, Honey - Roy Rosenfeld, Lanarka - Sebastien Leger, If U Ever - Overmono, Phase - Roy Rosenfeld, Otro - Roy Rosenfeld, There - - Roy Rosenfeld & Eli Nissan, The Beauty of Silence - Armen Miran
 

Electronica/Tech House/Deep House/Soundtrack.
 
This is a live studio mix of some of the fun tunes I've enjoyed playing in the latter half of 2019. I've gotta thank the Polish Rastafarian Jacob, Graeme's pal, for tracks 2-4. He played them at Resurrection Spirits and I loved them but the recording of his mix was shite so I brought them together somewhat for this mix. The rest is inspired a lot by Sentre, who have been producing some amazing tracks and Sasha's Last Night on Earth podcast and label. Some great tracks on here. One iffy mix in there but left it in for posterity's sake ;-) Which one is it? Also, keep an ear out for the movie samples in there. Can you name them? There are about a dozen. Let me know in the comments...
 
Sentre - Canadian Vibes, Yuksek feat. Polo & Pan - Cadenza, Crowd Control - If You Like, Kiu D - Deep in My House, Purple Disco Machine - Emotion, Robert Surace - Joys, Lawrence Hart & Casually There - Swimming Up, Ben Bohmer - Purple Line, Sentre - Enterprise, Roy Rosenfeld - The Biggest Heart, Sentre - U & Me, Cebb - Solar Path, Tibi Dabo - Nowhere Beach, Sasha - Comet Chaser, La Fleur - Aphelion (Effy Mix), Caribou - Sun (Kastis Torrau and Arnas'D Remix), Hans Zimmer - Time (Tale of Us Mix)

Retro House/Nu Disco/Funky House/Disco House.
 
This edition of the podcast features a very special guest, aka Dry Stems a resident of many establishments in Vancouver and Brooklyn, NY, including the Unfinished Business series in East Vancouver. He brings his inimitable four four fast-paced retro house and nu disco energy to this mix. We hope you enjoy it!

Funky House/Disco House/Deep House/Tech House.
 
Here are 3 segments of my mixes at Resurrection Spirits | Mixology Fridays on 23rd August 2019. I really wanted to bring you all of Graeme Jon's set along with these segments (it's about 4 hours in total) but we had some issues with the recording from his DJ system into our main one. Anyhow, check out the earlier mixes for Graeme's amazing tracks and mixing style. For this one, you're stuck with me, although I think there are a couple of guest mixes/tracks by Graeme hidden in here that didn't sound like the levels were blown. Hope you like it. I have a guest mix from Dry Stems to post soon as well as more from Graeme and I.

Funky House/Disco House/Deep House/Tech House.
 
90 minutes of 3 DJs mixing up a storm in East Vancouver at Mixology @ Resurrection Spirits on Friday August 9th, 2019. Hope you enjoy it. Help us build the tracklisting by adding your comments...

Funky House/Disco House/Deep House/Tech House.
 
Okay we're back with our main style... Live at Mixology @ Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver. This one is house all the way but with a variety of different styles and a nice little 3 hour build-up in intensity and depth. Graeme's at it for the first section then I take over, then back to Graeme, and then me. To me to you to me to you! If you get that reference, there's something wrong with you. Anyhow I don't have a list of Graeme's tracks so I'm gonna publish these monster 3 hour sets without a tracklist from now on. If you hear anything you like or recognize, give us a comment. Oh! We're gonna do weekly Mixology starting August on Fridays so buckle in for the ride!

Old School Pop/Rock/Hip Hop/Funk/Soul/House.
 
This one's all over the place in terms of styles... It's a recording of a live party mix for Matt & Mel's wedding reception guests... And it's pretty solid in terms of execution apart from having to deal with a few drunken guests attacking the DJ booth (Volvo Tom & Steve O'Neill) but these bits add to the flavour... Anyhow take a look at the tracklist: it's pretty diverse... A balancing act between playing songs people know and keeping it fun to mix and playing a bunch of genres in one set... 3 hours of party tunes including one unknown random speed garage track from Tony near the end... Here's to married life!

Here we go! A live 3 hour set from our Mixology night at Resurrection Spirits on Saturday May 25th 2019. We're also celebrating the release of our website about the night featuring news, free tickets, and mixes here: www.mixologyvan.com Now this is how cool Graeme is as a DJ. Out of all the tracks I Shazamed from this set to find the track name, Shazam didn't find one. That's how exclusive his music is. You can't Shazam it! If you know any of the tracks, leave it in the comments.

Deep House/Tech House/Melodic Techno.
 
This month's mix is dedicated to the person I stole 4 of these tracks off their playlist from... My DJ partner-in-crime, Graeme Jon. They're up there with the best tracks on this mix: The amazing remix by French duo Aeroplane of Lindstrom & Christabelle, the astounding Mark Knight remix of Dido, Cercle's vocal remix of Rodriguez Jr, and finally Monkey Safari's Sturm... There's a storm brewing indeed! I also love the Sasha remix of Baile on this one. He's proving he's got it not just as a DJ. Some of his latest produced tracks and collaborations are great, including the one with Dems towards the end of this mix. I also love the Green Velvet kick drum and vocals on 'What you talking about...' Deceiver... There are nearly 2 hours of strutting bass and deep spaced funk. Hit me up and let me know what you think...

Deep Electronica/Disco House/Trip Hop.
 
This is a cheeky homage to yes, you guessed it... The Late Night Tales music compilations. What I loved about these is that they are a homage to the history of the chosen DJ or artist's musical tastes. Kinda like a musical story of where they came from and which tracks stood out along the journey. I also like that they are not really meant for the dance-floor and are quite eclectic. I loved the Air and Jamiroquai ones. You might recognize the odd track in this mix. I put together my own version that was based around a history of deep electronic music - a tour from Detroit to Chicago to Warp Records with some disco house thrown in. There are a lot of other cities represented like New York, Bristol, Paris, Sheffield, Leicester... The natural place to start was with a few Larry Heard type tracks. This was how the tracklisting evolved and I recently played this out at Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver and recorded the live mix then put it through my sound optimization software. Hope you enjoy it!

Deep House/Tech House/Melodic Techno.
 
This is more of what I like... Starts off deep and builds and builds... I like that I get to put two remixes by Andre Lodemann in here. Very underrated. Also, the Patrick Topping tunes steal the show. It also has some old school, some bangers and gets progressively more techy and bass-heavy. Goes down perfectly with a lemon ginger smash from Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver. Even if I do say so myself.

Deep Tech House/Melodic.
 
For the Pre-NYE party 'Mixology' at Resurrection Spirits, I put together a list of melodic deep tech house heavily influenced by Jody Wisternoff and Sasha's DJ mixes. The tracks are a kind of retrospective of my favourite tunes of the last few years, hence the 'Old Fashioned' name, which is one of Resurrection's famous cocktails. It's not on the menu right now so you'll have to ask them to make it for you! Hope you enjoy the mix. Here's to a fantastic 2019.

Deep/Bass House/Melodic Techno.
 
This is a tasty little gin and tonic mix from mine and Graeme Jon's first resident party at Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver. This place has the best cocktails, a really great vibe, and fantastic people. We invite you down to the last Saturday of every month. Next one is Saturday, December 29th. This mix is hard and heavy in places and melodic and floaty in others... Definitely quite club-oriented for a bar in East Van but I love these tracks... It's very Sasha inspired with hints of all my favourite DJs: Laurent Garnier from back in the day and his Laboratoire mix, Jody Wisternoff from Way Out West, Jamie Jones, and Maceo Plex.

Deep/French House/Tech House.
 
This is a mix I put together for a friend's 40th birthday party who happens to be French. I played it out at Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver in October 2018. I selected a bunch of 1990s and 2000s French house & electronica classics from Daft Punk, Justice, Aeroplane, Ludovic Navarre (of St. Germain fame), and Etienne De Crecy.

Electronica/Deep House/Melodic Techno
 
This is why I love my Denon DJ MCX8000. Once they make DJ controllers robust enough, they will rule the world. I selected tracks to be as creative as I possibly could while playing the music I love: electronica, house, and techno, all in a melodic and deep style. Some new tracks and quite a lot of retrospective tracks at the beginning. Big shout out to Sasha and his Last Night on Earth label and podcast mixes. The second half of this mix is inspired by his new stripped down style. I've also tried to include as many samples as I could to compliment the music. Check out the video to this mix here: https://mrvan.ca/falsedawns

Deep House/Melodic Techno/Progressive House/Breaks
 
Here's a quality mix of the best tunes I've collected over the last 4-5 months. Some corkers from CamelPhat, DJ Icey and a few older tracks. It's a journey that starts more melodic and slow then builds into progressive breaks and crazy glitch-type noises. Wicked inabed mon.
