Substation from Phoenix, Arizona has been creating and spinning various styles of electronic music for two decades all across the Southwest and his live sets are some of the last “Truly Live” sets in dance music. His sound is the sound of Desert Trance when playing live and a little bit of everything when DJing.

This rare recorded set from the live act Substation gives a glimpse of his groovier side with some Electro and Tech House.

Enjoy!

Torin Schmitt from Los Angeles, California and Berlin, Germany has become the DJ that LA goes to when it needs a Top 100 caliber DJ for a lineup. In addition to supporting all of the World’s top DJs when in town he also holds many club nights on his own in LA and around the world for his performances. Most recently Torin has had tracks and remixes featured on compilation CDs from Markus Schulz, Paul Oakenfold, and Will Holland on labels such as Perfecto, System, Peak Hour, and MixMag.

A live performance from Torin is different than most DJ sets as he is known for using abstract tools like Jazzmutant’s Lemur, Korg’s Kaossilator and the Akai APC40 while he transforms Techno, Tech House and Progressive to move the dancefloor. The energy is what it’s about and his mashups, remixes, edits and originals are built to speak a common language on the dance floor.

Get your shoelaces tied tight for 2 hours of Torin’s Progressive Tech House mix.

Enjoy!

DMB Rockstar DJ Series
This week we are launching a new series of mixes by DJs who are also part of a successful music group. To kick it off we have a mix from Hifi Sean who was also the frontman for the band The Soup Dragons who had several hits including “I’m Free” and “Divine Thing”. I really enjoyed this band when I was in high school and I’m was very excited when I came across Hifi Sean and learned that he was the voice for The Soup Dragons.

Hifi Sean has been DJing and producing remixes for many years now and has enjoyed several long residencies at some top nights around London and Scotland. This mix is part 11 of his Psychedelic House Music series. After you check out this mix be sure to jump over to his podcast or download some of other mixes on his iTunes page. He’s got a nice variety of Dark Deep House and a really nice chilled out House mix. Enjoy.

Elite Force has been one of the artists defining the Tech Funk sound and has been a top name in the scene pumping out top-notch tunes one after another. He has always been in considerable demand, with re-workings for the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Crystal Method, Jungle Brothers, Stereo MCs, UNKLE, Infusion, Rennie Pilgrem, Shiloh and Dylan Rhymes all contributing to his reputation as one of the best remixers in the biz. His monthly Strongarm Sessions Webcasts have become something of an intraweb institution since their inception back in 2001, and the most recent archives should be your first stop if you’ve not come across the Force in action before.
