Episode 136: Open Kimono » Strictly House Music

house music by dattrax

dattrax: Hiya Fellow House Music Aficionados from Toronto and around the world!! Welcome!!
How has life been treating you? If not treated well, then...
Are you doing what's true to you to get the most out of each situation? Are you refusing to be mauled by unfortunate circumstances? Are you choosing to stay positive? Are you choosing to get back up?
I'm asking questions that I ask myself after life tries to kick me in the teeth. I hope that you choose to win as well. All the best to you and your well-being. Enough of my Chinese fortune cookie words...
Are you ready for a new dattrax house music journey? This mix is just over 2hrs long and it's filled with beautiful and varied textures. There are tons of new tracks for your listening or dancing pleasure [Thank you Traxsource for the 30% discount codes]. This took one take and the track selection and mixing are hawt!! Whew!! It usually takes 3-12 these days in my old age. LMAO!!
Whenever my best friend and DJ partner, Jim had deep conversations where too much was revealed. [As men, we're supposed to not reveal too much of our thoughts or feelings]. Jimmy and I call those conversations 'Open Kimomo' sessions. Always makes me chuckle the image of flashing in a kimono. Don't think that they make those for men right?
This mix is similar as it's an open book in regards to the tracks chosen to bring about the feeling of contentment and sparks of joy. Lots of challenges this year so poured a lot of negative and positive energy into this mix. I love the feel of this mix from beginning to end and hope that you smile from ear to ear.

[If you're reading this on mobile, everything is jumbled up. The writer's intended spacing to make these show notes readable is nonexistent.
You'll have to open this up on your laptop/desktop to be able to read this correctly. Podomatic hasn't come up with a solution that has been implemented yet to fix this challenge].
