First Glimpse » Strictly House Music

dattrax: My DJ Friends often called hunting for great tracks, "Junk Hunting". That's what we all do who love spinning House, don't we? We went though beatport.com & traxsource.com for weeks and probably listened to 2500+ tracks to buy 68 between the both of us. Jim took beatport and I took traxsource. I think our total bill was less than $140 bucks. In the vinyl days, it would have cost at least $1300 for 68EPs. Yup, it was $16.99 (b4 taxes!) for a 4 track EP or 2Trx double sided 12" or sometimes 1Trx, one sided bootleg. We usually only bought an EP for one cut. The GOOSE BUMP/ FIST IN THE AIR CUT. NOTE: w/ the exception of track#2 in this mix, which is a georgeous SADE bootleg made by Jason B. of SoulFusionExpress fame in Toronto and given to me by an amazing DJ that I met online, Said Chaara. This is the fourth mix after we both bought from those mp3 stores. First one that we're posting. We are like kids on Christmas morning. Nothing like listening to a batch of new house w/ your best friend and DJ partner of almost 20yrs. We listened to the tracks for a few days first. Have enough tracks for a second mix. Going to raid stompy.com in next week first. It'd be nice to find 20 or more tracks there (We can only hope). Made w/ two pioneer 1000 cd turntables and an Allen & Heath XONE: 92 mixer and a pair of crappy headphones (Jim was hogging the good pair!). The instruments in these headphones didn't sound distinct enough and it wasn't loud enough! Sidenote: Invest in good headphones if you want to DJ, it'll make your experiences so much better- spend at least $200 on a pair. At the same time, work w/ what you have and start listening, collecting and MIXING!We hope you like this mix, it was made w/ childlike wonder & youthful love at this music we call HOUSE.---------------How do we describe the dattrax sound?
