dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides. How are you? Are you living the life that you envisioned?

"Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things."

Tom Petty

I hope that you are working to fulfill your goals and dreams. That you beat or ignore any voice, especially the one between your ears that seeks to be an obstacle or seeks to put you down.

Just wanted to say that to you before my house related rant or thoughts. 

House has endlessly fascinated me since I was 14. 

I met some friends from a high school downtown Toronto called Jarvis Collegiate through a mutual friend while I was going to one in North York called George S. Henry, which is just north of the "GTA" or the "Greater Toronto Area". 

They loved to listen, mix and dance to house music vinyl records. 

After a few records, I was hooked. This structure of four four beats with endless creative possibilities within. It was infectious. I got goosebumps. I felt something in my gut. I automatically smiled.

Noel Nanton is a wonderful person who added to my musical education and fed my new love. He became a good friend and in a grade higher, grade 11..

was a house fanatic, great DJ and a new producer. 

We used to go to his place after school and he'd played me his favourite records. He'd tell me stories that he heard about the records, the famous Chicago and NYC house DJs. The ones playing at illegal warehouse parties in downtown Toronto.

A few years later, 'junk hunting' became a term we used to describe the records we were looking for. "Yeah man, hunting for any track that moves us. That instantly gives us goosebumps within seconds of the needle dropping on the record."

Thank you for listening to this mix. I appreciate you.

Sorry, this mix doesn't have a playlist.

Cheers
