Episode 161: Open to Receive » Strictly House Music

dattrax: Welcome, My Fellow House Lovers!! Welcome to where house music resides.  For me, I've always made mixes for two people: myself and my best friend and DJ partner, Jim. Anyone else likes it, and it's gravy and makes me happy. When Jim likes or loves a mix, then I'm thrilled. If I don't love it and don't want to listen to it repeatedly, then I don't post it on my Podomatic site or share it. I'd delete it after one listen and try again another time.Choosing House Music is only a matter of available time. As I get older, there's less time. There are levels to each craft and sections within each. You can go deeper and deeper into any endeavour. Everything demands time to try, test/ experiment, adjust and implement. You make choices that are the best for your situation.In 1989, I was 15 and in grade 10.I got into house music 30+ years ago. I started buying vinyl records and DJ'ing at 18, and it's been a lifelong addiction ever since.  I've told myself many, many times over the last 30+ years of DJ'ing that when it stops being fun, then I'll stop wasting tons of time and money on it.This addiction to house is probably not going to leave me. I packed up my records and equipment for 2-3 years. Then I heard a house mix by a local Toronto, and it blew my mind. I jumped on to Beatport a few nights later and bought a crazy batch of tunes.I wish you well and hope for all the best to you. Thank you for taking a listen to my sessions.---------------How do we describe the dattrax sound?
