Dec 2017 Rebooting from the Deep End (Black Voices Matter)   Not for everyone, East Coast Deep House or as close as you will get from me in the genre.   Should you not like NYC, Chicago or Detroit Deep House stay clear of this one but if you are curious, surrender to the groove, it is half decent.   Playlist:   2017 Higher (Marques Wyatt & Gabriel Rene AquaDEEP Mix).

Dec 2017 The Progressive Clean-up (B-List)   Progressive with a dash of Nu-House..   Got bored with it midway.. The set turned more high energy than originally intended with an overly ambitious mash-up! Be gentle with me, I am just getting reacquainted with the mixer. The general idea was to clean up the progressive folder and choose tracks to be played at a future party. This set includes the tunes, which, rightly or wrongly, did not make the cut.   I simply have too much backlog to be too choosy.. Either tunes will never get a hearing or some sets will be just so so.. Could be one of those..   Playlist:   Ready or Not (Nu Deep Mix). Loungetronic Girl (Toly Braun Remix).

2017 Dec Rebooting from the Deep End (Pt. 1 Taste this Love)   “The news of my passing was greatly exaggerated”. Borrowing from Oscar Wilde or (Mark Twain who knows?)   House is a Journey 2.0! Reboot..   Had to focus on more important issues for a while. Though I did play live and mixed at parties, I could not be bothered with tweaking and publishing. I have a few live raw sets on my drive, which will eventually be uploaded. I even have an uploaded yet unpublished set from April 2017, cannot remember why I failed to publish... I shall catch up shortly therefore expect lots of (hopefully half decent) music before the year end.   Interesting that I eventually got going with Deep House, I was listening to the tunes of a friend of mine German-Greek producer, Petros Mitolis, and felt like… yeah, it is now TIME!   House is a Journey is .. resurfacing!   Philakia Petros!   Playlist   2017 There's No Time To Waste (Original Mix). Scott Diaz, Max Footwork 201

Chinese Chills Ep.1 (30 hours to nowhere)   Happy Birthday Denise! Told you.. I’ll House you!   Downtempo Progressive house with a hint of Nu-Disco.   Not referring to real Chill out but to the fact that I mixed those upcoming sets whilst travelling in China. The trip was horrid, when murphy’s law being the default mode. Furthermore, it was cold, chilling, freezing cold hence the title of the series.   First episode was mixed during a 30 hours’ period, with 5 connections for a itinerary, which really ought to have taken half the time. Tired, pissed off and needing some soothing music.   But if anything, this tempo 120/121 is my chill tempo. We are not talking about Chill Out Enya’s style but the type music I want to listen to in a hotel room, doing some work, relaxing but still needing a beat and yes sometimes a nu-disco beat.   The underlying theme being trying to “House You” around new progressive tunes and a few new take on classic tunes. &n

Mega 4 hours set you can stream for your NYE party.. Mostly current "best of" soulful track of 2016 with a few oldies towards the end.

Merry Xmas to all of you!   Elements of a Dancer.. A combination of old progressive trance dance tunes with a small sprinkling of current clubby numbers and far too many Xtian Edits A very easy, meant to get you off your feet, festive and unashamadely commercial set..    I originally intended to publish the Shanghai Progressions Pt.2 back in September, had staggered the publishing of the uploads in order not to overload anyone but somehow it got lost in-between the cloud and the Chinese firewall. So be it! Lost forever.. Then, life got busy and I had no time to even think about tunes let alone mix anything..   A fortnight ago a friend reminded me that Xmas was approaching and that a new set would be a nice festive gesture.. Here it is my (one day..) cycling buddy! Hope you find it motivating enough to take on a ride and not too commercial for your discerning ears though... I did want something fun and not too heady, one which would nicely fit on a CD for the family to listen to during the

Mini-series at the confines of Progressive House and Trance. Still from Shanghai. At this time of writing I am not sure if I will leave the chopped 2 x 45 seconds of electro in tunes 10. I tried to restructure the tunes to take out as much of it as I could but had to leave the build.   New tunes interspaced with some remixes of well-known favs of mine, not quite sure it this set is an absolute must have download, but seems I am gearing up to a trance set in a couple of weeks.   I have staggered the publishing schedule of all the sets I have uploaded lately for no one to incur insane data charges. But I have to admit that I am a bit lost in the schedule. I believe there is another one to appear on your feed before I get to something new.       Playlist:   2016 My Enemy (Movement Machina Remix).

Third iteration of the same nocturnal progressive vibe Shanghai appears to inspire.   Darker, with a lot less vocal tracks than my usual offering, well suited for the few insomniacs who are listening.

XXL Vocal Deep House.. Three hours of non-boring, original and mostly current Vocal Deep House tunes.. Have to mention vocal to preempt the comments of the Deep House purists..   Another set which I had on recorded on the HD only to have forgotten it.. I stream it today whilst looking the Shanghai/Pudong skyline and thought it was a pity not to have published it at the time.   Hop in and out of it as you please but if you have 3 hours to devote to making yourself feel (and consequently feel better) just lock it in your player and deep in and out of it as you please. I promise that all the tunes have their own merit and this set is absolutely not sequential therefore the order does not really matter. Just listen!   Playlist:   2013 Cada Vez (Michael Gray Mix). The Cube Guys, Michael Grey feat. Alexandra Prince 2016 Set Me Free (Main Mix). Homero Espinosa, Mr. V 2010 Tribute (Original Mix). Karol XVII & MB Valence 2015 Your Love (Original Mix).

In Shanghai for a few days and uploading a few sets I had either started to fiddle with a few months back. If you ever go to Shanghai, get yourselves to the Bund and go up to " le Bar Rouge", where 19th century architecture meets Uber Cool 21st Century Asia. Mostly very current main floor tunes with a chopped beats twist, which is meant to get you on your feet. Apart from a very brutal transition from second last to last, I quite like this one. I most probably will get a few sets recorded whilst here, so keep tuned. Playlist: 2016 My Friend (Extended Mix). EDX 2016 Wild Orchid (Main Mix).

The Greek House Collection (Music is My Shelter)   Second of a mini-series of Soulful House sets mixed in Greece during a break from it all. Took a while to finish it but here it is.   Let’s first credit a friend of mine, Gilberto Blackmon (The Funky Blackman) whose podcast you will find here on Podomatic: http://funkyblackman.podomatic.com/entry/2016-07-04T19_32_20-07_00 and on our Facebook Page site “House is a Journey”: https://www.facebook.com/MyHouseJourney/   As some may have noticed I have not touched any Soulful House for more than half a year. I could not even attempt to put any soulful sets together so bored and actually literally without any emotions about any soulful tunes I was listening to. Not receptive, no challenge and felt no purpose.   Yet during my July break, whilst riding a bike in 37C heat, on a high gradient, suffering hell, I chose to listen to his latest set, deep & soulful and “Εύρηκα”...

Former last instalment of Beach/Pool tunes live from the Nysia pool in the island of Spetses, Greece.   More rhythmic but still very sundrenched and Beach House.   Similar format as step 1 and 2 new cuts of old favourites or brand new tunes buried in my hard drive.
