Description
As I put this set together, I knew I wanted to create a kind of departure from my normal form. Gathering my inspiration from four of my DJ friends, who go from "budding" to the "big room," who's never fail to blow me away with every set they produce, I wanted this one to include a touch of funk, a bit of chunk, and a slice of electro; but still be wrapped up by a couple of tracks that bear the melodic goodness I've grown to love over the years. The tracks all came together quickly; faster in fact than I'd expected (as I have at least two other episodes in pre-production right now that were started before this one), and as I recorded this, it just felt right.
This is the way I'd love to play for hours on end. Drop a groove and go. Take it deep. Pull it back. Then plunge head-long into the funky, chunky, dirty beat for a few more hours, until there's not an ounce more that the crowd can sweat out. Then give 'em one more track so beautiful, so smooth, so melodic, they can't help but throw their hands up in the air and give up anything they have left in reserve to the euphoria. What a rush!
I want to dedicate this set to the four DJs who inspired it, and who rock my world: Donovan (aka "Big Red Dee"), Funkybear Martin, Paco and Ted Eiel. These guys go from the "budding" to the "big room." They've all introduced me to artists and songs I might never have heard otherwise. They keep me fresh and excited with their own sets. They make me want to hang up my headphones and retire sometimes too, 'cause I wonder if I can ever be as good. And not only are they a treat for the ears, but they're also a treat for the eyes, and more importantly, for the soul as well!
Thank you, guys. This set's for you.
So, are you ready? It's time to feel the Crush!
