It was an epic battle for the 1st ever election to select the Mayor of the Decks...the clear winner? Everyone on the packed dancefloor literally from start to finish! Chicago legend Zebo made the trek up to Madison for a seriously killer party. I kicked things off and we then switched off every half hour... suffice to say we went all over the place musically and it was one of the best parties I've been a part of for ages. Hope you all enjoy it!   3hr 47 min LIVE MIX (sorry no tracklist available) 544.6mb file/320kCBR

Global warming has caused our winter in Wisconsin to be more or less non-existant, with the exception of a few days here & there. I made this mix during one of those crisp cold days where it looks like there's a smoky haze emerging from the snowbanks...Diverse wintry vibes to heat you up, with or without your favorite libations as an accompaniment.

It was THE Holiday Party of the year, our Mad Men Holiday Soirée @ Madison's historic Majestic Theatre was truly a trip back in time. The entire crowd was dressed in vintage attire & it really felt like you were transported back to the early 1960's. By popular demand here's my set from the party. A nice compliment to the afterparty set with much more familiar & dancefloor-friendly songs (and a few crossover ones between the two mixes). I stictched together my 2 sets from the party.

On December 17th 2011 we held our 1st annual Mad Men Holiday Soirée at the historic (built 1906) & beautiful Majestic Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. In preparing for my set that evening I dove headfirst into sort of a forgotten era of great music circa 1958-1966. I literally just threw this mix together & ended up realizing it basically would have been a set I'd drop at an afterparty if I had been alive & dj'ng back in 1966. Throw this on for the perfect party soundtrack to keep your guests happy.

Classic mix from 2002 that I unearthed from my archives. I had a period of my life where I spent a lot of time listening to an AM radio station that was geared primarily to the 65+ crowd, featuring the 'Music of Your Life'. The ads on the station were hilarious, one of them began with the opening line, 'if you have teeth...'. They played all the standards you would expect and had guest dj's such as legendary game show host Wink Martindale. They would also occasionally throw in some more obscure songs here & there. I had the idea of slipping into their studio and whipping together a cd-length mix for all the listeners. This is what I cam up with. I don't have a tracklist for this mix anymore but in features the following artists & more...Henry Mancini, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Françoise Hardy, Serge Gainsbourg, Matthew Herbert & Nancy Sinatra.   Mixed live with vinyl & cd's (this is pre-Scratch Live) 77 Minute Live Mix (185.7mb file 320k/CBR)
