Like The Desert Missed The Rain, MixTwo » Strictly Vocal House

dattrax: Little Louie Vega is incredible if you’ve seen him live. This guy mixes like the songs were produced together, not like separate tracks. He DJs like a musician- can’t even describe it, you have to experience him. I always wonder what it’s like to know how house music tracks are made from conception to post production, and then spin them? Jim and I just know what house tracks we love, but we know nothing about music, composition, etc. We just like what we like and hope that some people like it too. I’d hate if a musician listened to us.This is one of my favourite of Mr. Vegas’ authorized mixes. Full of energy and beautiful house music. Relentless, track after track. I can’t tell you how many records the duo of Little Louie Vega and his partner Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez, Masters At Work (M.A.W.) that Jim and I own and own doubles of. There was a time when we were partying, that almost everything good was made by these guys. I bet there are more MAW records in house DJs' collections than any other producers.Roger Sanchez. That name just gets a period. Definitive. I’ve been to probably four parties in Toronto where he was headlining- never a disappointment. I kicked myself the last few times he was in Toronto and I missed him. Smooth as butter and his passion shows through his performance. He loves it! Three decks- seamless- TIGHT (there’s a picture of him in the DJ Dictionary if there is one). No computer w/ beatlock – a DJ’s DJ. I'm so happy that when I catch him on YouTube and stuff he's playing w/ cds. Nothing like old & new tech together. He’s always having a blast w/ the crowd. Not the stone face DJ, seen one of those lately? Don’t love what you do? Go do something else Man!The greats always make it look easy and fun. Then the masses go out and spend tons of money and realize that ‘hey, this is hard’. The title of these two mixes comes from the chorus of an Everything But The Girl cover by Nicola on this mixed cd, “Missing”. I just loved that line, “Like the desert missed the rain”. I almost spelled it ‘dessert’ by accident at first.Chuck Love’s mixed cd was such an exciting gem of a purchase! His tracks have a older, familiar feel, but such a bumpy energy that charges forward. Very organic sounds and instruments, but has such a fresh edge to them. Joy. He is new to us, but will be looking for him. Can’t tell you how much I love his music.Loved the track “Shy” from the Matthew Dear CD. We have a few of his tracks on vinyl. Techy, w/ awesome alternative rock sounding vocals.We hope that you enjoy these two mixes as much as we love sharing them!This was an all CD house mix.---------------How do we describe the dattrax sound?
