There's nothing like a live set! The mixes aren't always perfect,
the music is a bit more spontaneous, and the energy is more organic;
they almost have a pulse of their own. So grab these live sets, and
see what a night at the club sounds like when this DJ is in the booth!
But get 'em while you can; they may not be here forever.

"Press Play" is a chance for me to try new, and sometimes different things
I might not otherwise get to do in a live setting; or explore musical (or other)
themes for 80-90 minutes. Occassionaly, you'll find a live set excerpt in here,
but that's more the exception than the rule.
So, load up your MP3 player; then just "Press Play," and be prepared to dance!
When your world is spinning, and eveyrthing seems out of control, it can feel like you're locked in a "Freefall."
Is the world overwhelming you with an endless stream of troubles? Take respite, recharge your batteries, get away for a while; "Escape."
Old songs, particularly the good ones, hang around. Whether it's a "hook" used in a new song, a remake, or classics being spruced up, these songs keep coming back for more.
Mainstream sets are the most popular with all of you. Upbeat, happy and bright, I'm sure once you've listened to it, you'll understand why I named it "Shine."
This set is a collection of my favorite tracks from 2010. Many of these may be familiar, some not so much. My picks may not be yours, but they're still Top of 2010!
It's been a while. Between now and then, things have been hectic, rushed, and at times stressful. So now, it's time to stop, to take a break and recover. Relax. Breathe. Chill. Pause...Again.
The music is strong, hard, edgy. It pulls you, moves you, drives you to get up and dance. It's progressive, electro, even playful. But it always comes as a Surge!
It was a long, hot summer, filled with lots of songs with great staying power; so good in fact, they still sound great months later. It's an Endless Summer!
Created, by request of Joe Jervis, for the readers his blog, "Joe.My.God." This set has a little bit of everything. Enjoy!
It's progressive! No, it's pop! No, it's mainstream! No, it's progressive! Oh hell, it's a little bit of everything. When you can't make up your mind, you might as well just be Schizosonic!
A remixer can have a great effect on any song; this set showcases the work of Dave Audé, making this set Audé-licious!
You tap your toe, nod your head, sway, shimmy and wiggle. Before long you're dancing. Don't worry, it's okay, go ahead, Bounce!
A late-night mix for the road: easy, smooth, silky, with a few surprises in store. Out and back again, it's time for an Excursion.
A little bit funky, a little bit chunky, a little bit electro, and a little bit tribal; this is peak hour, late night, in the house. It's a Deep Spin!
On the shortest day of the year, at the start of Winter, Episode 32 brings a trance set to warm you up and make things a little lighter and brighter. Happy Solstice!
No, you're not hearing things. Some of these songs sound like other songs you've heard before. They're not covers, or remixes, but new songs based on old ones. Can you hear the "Echoes?"
It's all about love, sex, and money; it always has been and always will be. Episode 30 of "Press Play" pays homage to the way the world goes 'round with the latest crop of chart-toppers; it's a 30 Pop!
You feel the spark. It's shocking at first. Then energizing. It makes you want to move. It makes you want to groove. It makes you want to let go. To paraphrase Timothy Leary: Turn on, plug in, drop out; your Socket is waiting!
Fresh tracks, some just minted, with a few old familiar songs given a new lease on life, along with a little twist, and you have what amounts to a set that's "hip," that's "happening," and that's "now." Just call it "Contempo" for short!
With temperatures cresting 100 in many parts of the country, there's no let up on the dance floor either! These tunes are top-of-the-chart right now, and are likely to keep summer clubbing on fire! It's definitely a "Scorcher!"

Let's face it, 2008 sucked! No one I know had a good year. Many of my friends lost their jobs and are having difficulty finding work. So, it's out with 2008, and on to 2009! Avanti!
At this time of year, it's so easy to get overwhelmed. There's the shopping, the dinners, the crowds, the parties, the incessant holiday music, the traffic... it's so easy to get, well, Holidazed!
As David Bowie once sang, "Ch-ch-changes." It's all about the change. Your Transition awaits.

You can't keep a good song down, or from the hands of the remixers! They may be 'retreads,' but they haven't lost much to the years.
Passion with an attitude; need I say anything more?.
A touch of funk, a bit of chunk, and a slice of electro, wrapped in melodic goodness, Feel the Crush!
