House is a Journey

Summary: This podcast is all about creating current House Tunes set. It will be Deep, it will be Sexy it will be Funky, it might even be Trancey but it will NEVER be Electro. I am not a pro and I do this just for fun.

 2020 Jun Jus’ a Little Beat of House | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5261

Update: considering the distressing current events in the US, this upload seems a bit unbearably "light".

Sadly still relevant today. 2017 Dec Black Voices Matter https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/xtiancaz/episodes/2017-12-05T02_20_07-08_00   Now to the current one..   2020 June Jus’ a Little Beat of House   As the title say, it is just a little bit of House music. Sole ambition to make you smile, dance and play with the new decks. Unedited, live from the box and it surely shows at times but we had heaps of fun.   Surprisingly current with a few edits and mashups. Have fun.   Just feel like getting away from Progressive and Balearic for a bit and reconnect with the roots of house with soon a deep one coming up.   Playlist:   2019 Heaven (Mousse T’s E-Funk Extended Mix) [Qtπ In the Spirit Edit].

 2019 Dec Let there be (Head Candi NYD Party) house! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7194

2019 Dec Let there be (Head Candi NYD 2020 Vision Party) house!   Wishing everyone a good year in 2020. I know I really need it!   Second part of House is a Journey & HeadCandi NYD party. The Dance Session   For clubbers and dancers alike, New Year’s Day Party, overlooking the Pacific Ocean   Starts with a 2019 remix of Madison Avenue dance classic “Don’t Call Me Baby”. Gives away the fact that this is not a challenging set. Meant to make you feel happy and dance.   Included a four-way Monster Mash, which I am not unhappy about.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels.   A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like.   The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads.   Ninth episode runs from 125 bpm to 130 bpm. Not challenging but for one ghetto house track, which is fun and short.   Playlist:     2019 Don’t Call Me Baby (Mousse T vs Super Disco Club Remix). Madison Avenue, Mousse T. 2019 Funky Like That (Random Soul Vocal Mix). Dave Mayer & DJ Roland Clark 2005 Strings of Life (Martijn Ten Velden Mark Knight Toolroom Mix). South Central 2019 Strings of Life vs. Shine on Me (Stuart Ojelay Bootleg) [Xtian Edit]. South Central, Praise Cats, Stuart Ojelay 2001 Shine on Me (Original Mix). Praise Cats, Andrea Love 2015 Ride Like the Wind (Bobby Blanco Mix). Bobby Blanco, Peyton, Audiofraud 2019 Feelin’ Love (Mattei & Omich Extended Remix). Soulsearcher, Mattei & Omich 2018 Calling Out (Riva Starr Warehouse Remix). Sophie Lloyd, Dames Brown, Riva Starr 2015 Soul Fever (AM2PM Extended Mix). MP, Angie Brown, AM2PM 2019 Music Pumping (Orignal Mix).  Duo 2, Jeremy Bass, Rio Dela Duna, Soraya Vivian 2016 Everytime that I Drop (Original Mix) Block & Crown Piano Occasion (Original Mix). Dennis Quin, Edwin Oosterwal 2017 Boogie 2Nite (Seamus Haji Big Love Remix). Seamus Haji 2009 The Pressure (Seamus Haji vs Emanuel Remix. Haji & Emanuel, Brian Chambers 2016 Feel It (VIP Mix). Seamus Haji, VIP 2019 Your Love Fades in Strings of Candi (Xtian’s Monster Mash) [Lock the Doors Private Edit]. Shane D, Grant Nelson, South Central, Frankie Knuckles, Candi Staton, Xtian, House is a Journey 2014 Your Love (Your Love (Director's Cut Signature Mix vs. Shapeshifters Remix). Frankie Knuckles, Director's Cut, Jamie Principle, The Shapeshifters 2010 Rapture (Avicii New Generation Extended Mix). Nadia Ali, Avicii   Highlights:   Stuart’s Olejay ‘s mashup bootleg of “Strings of Life vs. Shine on Me”. Brilliant!   My four-way Monster Mashup “Your Love Fades in Strings of Candi” combining “Fade” from Solu, “Your Love” from Frankie Knuckles, “Strings of Life” of South Central and “You’ve Got the Love” from Candi Staton. Have to thank and credit Sahne D and Grant Nelson from whom I got the base.   The will be a tenth episode of HeadCandi (Deeper) but not sure when I will upload.   A bientôt.   Xtian

 2019 Dec Let there be (Stereo Sushi NYE Part 1) house! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4702

2019 Dec Let there be (Stereo Sushi NYE Pt.1) house!   Wishing everyone a good year in 2020. I know I need it!   First part of House is a Journey & HeadCandi NYE party. The Soulful session.   For real House freaks. I’ve included some recent cuts of house classics and veered off into some twisted souful and ghetto house. A couple of Ghetto house tracks might throw you out, indulge me.   Starts with a 2018 David Penn remix of Peter Heller’s anthemic Soulsearcher’s “Big Love”.    The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels.   A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like.   The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads.   Eighth episode runs from 124 bpm to 125 but stays smooth.   Playlist:   2018 Big Love (David Penn Extended Remix). Pete Heller's Big Love, David Penn 2019 Empty Streets (Jack Trades Extended Remix). Late Night Alumni 2019 Tell Me (Extended Mix). Sam Dexter 2019 You Change My World (FAM Disco Remix).

Roland Clark 2019 When House Was Young (Cubanix Remix). Roland Clark, Cubanix 2017 Funky Like That (Jask’s Old School Vibe Mix). Dave Mayer & DJ Roland Clark      Highlights:   “Big Love” because it is and has always been a foundation track.   “You Change My World” from Marc Evans because it will be one of the last track I shared with my previous life.   “The Comeback” and “When House Was Young”, because Roland is a House legend who started the whole PA movement.   A bientôt.   Xtian

You will be on your feet within 30 minutes.   Starts with a 2019 Dr Packer remix of Soulsearcher’s “Feelin’ Love”. Happy tune by excellence.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations.

House infused with a twist of Disco and Tribal.   Starts with disco remix of the classic “Do you Remember House?” from Re-Tide.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels.   A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like.   The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes.

 2019 Dec Let there be (beach boys) house! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5178

2019 Dec Let there be (beach boys) house!   The Hed Kandi album art from Jason Brooks, fab as it was, wasn’t very gay friendly, with scores of Hed Kandi babes but not even one for the boys. After scouring the web, I finally found a pastiche of HED Kandi with a beach babe/boy.   In a similar summer vibe than the first instalment of the HeadCandi series, beach tunes with a hint of tropical house. And a couple of tracks of a composed and sang by Marc Evans, a favourite of mine and the Barry White of this millennium.   Starts with a Steven Stone remix a great Italian tune “Un Amore di Favola”. All tracks except 2 released in 2019.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels.   A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like.   The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads.   Fifth episode runs from 122 bpm to 123, very easy listening.   Playlist:   2019 Un Amore da Favola (Original Mix). Steven Stone, Little D 2019 CYA (Original Mix). Somethin' Sanctified 2019 Your Life (Dub Nuance Mix). Diego Auguanno 2019 Get Down with It (Richard Earnshaw Remix).

 2019 Dec Let there be (sexy) house! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4923

2019 Dec Let there be (sexy) house!   “Lock the doors, I'm ready to get off” true quote from Frankie Knuckles at the Power Plant in Chicago, where and when it all started!   Sexy Club Beats driven by a heavy bass and a hint of Funk for the later hours of the night. All tracks except 3 released in 2019.   Continuing the HedKandi homage with a fourth session of serious Funky Clubbers jams. For the later hours in the night when the house freaks get their groove.   Starts with Marshall Jefferson’s recall of the first House parties with Frankie Knuckles.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels. A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like.   The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads.   Fourth episode runs from 122 bpm to 123, heavier on the bass and sexier on the beats.   Playlist:   2016 Lock the Doors (Midnight City Remix). Marshall Jefferson, Midnight City 2018 Make Me Feel (Original Mix). J Paul Getto 2019 Sweet Time (Yuksek Remix). Kraak & Smaak, Izo FitzRoy 2019 Papa’s Stoned (Original Mix). Ian Ossia 2018 (It Happens) Sometimes (David Penn Extended Remix). Jack Back, David Penn 2019 My Reason (Original Mix). Yass, DJ Rae 2018 Fall to Raise Up (Meme Mix).

Kings of Tomorrow, April Morgan, Sandy Rivera 2019 Soul Cool (Original Mix). Crazibiza 2016 Everybody Is A DJ (Original Mix). Deejay MiMMo, Mr. V 2015 My House (Greco NYC Remix). Low Steppa, Mr. V, Greco (NYC)   Highlights:   Love “Lock the Doors” for both the sexy under-beats and the historical recall. Furthermore, there is always a moment when the DJ “wants to get off”.   The beats of J Paul Getto “Make Me Feel” are as sexy as beats can be.   As for “Turn Up” with Mr. V, I have featured both Mr. V and this track a lot recently.. Whats can I say, love Mr. V and this is REAL HOUSE!     A bientôt.   Xtian

2019 Dec Let there be (groove) house!     Bar into club soulful grooves with a hint of Disco. All tracks except two released in 2019.   Continuing the HedKandi homage with a set emulating Frankie Knuckles live set structure vibe and bpm range (suffice to say that I do not compare myself with the great Frankie).   Starts with a SuperClub dining atmosphere and moves into smooth clubland soundscape.   The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations.
