Summary: Video tutorials about the production of this episode of Subterranean Homesick Grooves are at the bottom of this post. Welcome to this week's edition of Subterranean Homesick Grooves™, a weekly electronica-based radio show presented originally on CHMA FM 106.9 at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada (but expanded to a distribution on other terrestrial radio stations), and also distributed as a global podcast through iTunes and numerous other sites. The show is normally programmed and mixed by Jonathan Clark (as DJ Bolivia), although some weeks feature guest mixes by other Canadian DJ's. The show encompasses many sub-genres within the realm of electronic dance music, but the main focus is definitely on progressive and tribal house, and a small amount of trance & techno. Liner notes for this episode (SHG 100) can be seen below. Para la información en español, vaya aquí. By the way, if you're looking for DJ mixes in styles other than progressive/tech-house, check out www.djbolivia.ca/mixes.html. That page has a number of mainstream/top40 dance mixes (the "Workout Mix" series), as well as some deep house, drum and bass, and other styles.

Here’s a link so you can listen to the show or download it from SoundCloud: Well, here we are with the 100th episode of Subterranean Homesick Grooves. I guess this is quite a milestone. To be honest though, I'm not surprised: I did start with three digit numbering of the episodes from the start, knowing that I'd enjoy the project and would want to keep producing the shows for a number of years. This episode is probably going to be remembered as being unique not so much because of the special number 100, but rather because I used this week's episode as the focus of a series of three YouTube tutorial videos to teach people how professional DJ mixes can be created using the Ableton Live software suite. And to clarify, lest that type of production somehow detracts from the regular skills needed by a DJ to do live shows and mixes, I will also be producing a couple of additional tutorials series in upcoming months to cover live DJ'ing techniques. I'll describe those details in more detail further down this post, after the track listings. I'd like to thank CHMA 106.9FM at Mount Allison University in eastern Canada for allowing me to get this project started. I'd also like to thank all of my regular listeners for their regular support, for sharing the show on your facebook pages, for tweeting about new episode releases, and for following on SoundCloud. You know who you are, and I hope to meet many of you in person some day. And now, let's get back to the program. This episode is a bit different than most of the recent episodes. It isn't quite as energetic at the end as most, but I think I've picked out some interesting tracks. Several are actually older tracks from several years ago. I purposely put a different remix of Cream Sound's "Always," by one of my favorite producers (Snake Sedrick). I say "different" because I used the Stereotip Edit of this exact track on the very first episode of SHG. By the way, Cream Sound (from St. Petersburg) is somewhat unique on this show for another reason: she is one of the [unfortunately] small ranks of female producers out there. This mix also features a recent track by David Anthony, a friend of mine who was actually the first person to book me as a DJ at a "rave" style party, even though I had already been DJ'ing for fifteen years at that point. I should point out, on an unrelated note, that today is a notable day for another reason. Today is the 30th anniversary of the passing of Thelonious Monk, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. If you ever get a
