Episode 125: Uncommon Sense » sTriCtLY hOuSe mUsiC

dattrax: Hiya Fellow House Fiends around the world!! Welcome new listeners and to those returning! We're extremely thankful for all of you!! As always we hope that you've been well in your life full of personal triumphs and defeats. Life is full of struggles with some that are unavoidable. We can't change what happens to us sometimes, but we can choose to view each situation with objectivity, and react graciously and move forward optimistically. Perhaps it's time to reinvent ourselves, make a contrarian choice, go down a different path, or attempt a new endeavour.House music can help you escape and take you to your happy place. We're here to hopefully put a massive smile on your face. This mix took six attempts to finally get the right feel for the next two hours and thirty-seven minutes. Been working on about four separate mixes, each taking multiple attempts. We hope that you enjoy this one, soak it in as you live your life.Here are some of my favourite fortune cookies from the Asian Underground. *My DJ partner when we spin live is Jim and he's Cypriot/Greek, but since I'm making the mixes, writing these show notes and our quotes that help me ; )These quotes have helped me when things happen that rock my world and I feel like someone is physically kicking my teeth in. I hope that it can bring you some comfort and inspire you to climb out of your dark place as well.“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”― Napoleon Hill"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." — Winston S. Churchill“Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” — Mark Twain“When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to happiness that you can give out.”— Eleanor Roosevelt---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.
