Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax

Welcome to Showcasing House Music DJ Mixes by dattrax!!
This mix starts w/ Lisa Shaw's beautiful vocals on a track called "Someday". I don't know how many vocal tracks she has done since her Naked Music days, but we can't get enough of her (we probably own a dozen at least). 2nd track is "Battery Man" by Fish Go Deep. These guys just keep banging out amazing house vocal tracks! Love their work. At 12mins, one of our top three favourite Charles Webster tracks, Presence featuring Shara Nelson singing "Sense of Danger". Shara Nelson gives us goosebumps on this track. This is followed by another deep and soulful Fish Go Deep, "Weapons of Choice". This sort of sets the tone of the mix. This is mix for people who love house vocals back to back. There's probably only 5 instrumentals in this 70min. mix.
We had this fri & sat night gig for about 5mths at this fancy smancy restaurant/bar/patio (we couldn't afford to eat there even at a discount! Ever had a $10beer/$12mix drink/up to $30 martini and feel good about it afterwards?) located in the heart of downtown Toronto. It was sort of restrictive in that the DJ equipment was not fun to play on, two pioneer 200 cd turntables w/ no spinning platter, a pioneer 400 mixer and tiny bookshelf speaker for a monitor that farted bass when you blast it. And we have to blast it because I am sort of deaf in my left/DJ ear.
BTW.. this is my youngest baby, Caleb. Isn't he cute? Don't worry, he's not really DJing. Don't want him leaving the house at any age, let alone come home late. But that's a non-house related topic for some other Blog in the future.
