@Arnaldi…that’s a great tune. A true representation of the beginnings of Big Beat from all the acid breaks that were pumping in the mid-90s.

@Gerd…very smooth tune. Would love to see a modern remake in the more smooth deep house style.

@Vintage…that’s a very cool pick. I keep waiting for the chorus to kick in, despite that it wasn’t in there. It’s funny how much hip-hop had evolved from those early years.

Pretty cool tune.

Thank you! I’m sure this one will be slow to start…as I think many might be only dropping in the music section to post mixes.

That is so weird. My video posting worked even now after I cleared caches. I wonder if it’s a region thing?

Here’s one I picked up recently off Traxsource that I’m feeling…

Title: Streets of Rage (Original Mix)
Artist: Hapkido
Label: Emby

Genre(s): Deep funky house

With “Deep House” being tossed around, mainly confused with “Future House”, I generally like to stick to what I think is a more “true” sound in the more funky/jazzy vibe that many in Chicago worship.

I liked Streets of Rage mainly for its 90s vibe, as I’m seeing a lot of that sound sliding into the scene lately. I think it’s the organs and piano that gave me that 90s NYC house vibe, along with the wonderful sax solo. The rhythm only keeps the energy going, as I am not into sleepy minimal sounds.

Maybe Tuesday would be the day where we all post new tunes any of us think others should check out, and Fridays we do “Flashback Fridays” where we post old school classics.

Here’s how the initial posts could go…

Subject: Tuesday Music Share for MM/DD/YYYY

Body:
Being a DJ is about being an educator in music. You’re an evangelist for each and every new and amazing tune you encounter. With that in mind, we at Digital DJ Tips want you to share ONE new tune you’re feeling passionate about, and think the rest of us should hear (and potentially buy).

Please post some kind of a link for ONE new tune you’re into at the moment. A video or audio link with maybe the title, artist, and what genres you think this tune falls into. If you’re feeling ambitious, then tell us also why you like this tune so much.

This topic will be open for one day, then locked. We’ll do this every Tuesday. Please only post one new tune, so we don’t end up with an overload of new music to look at.

Subject: Flashback Friday Music Share for MM/DD/YYYY

Body:
Let’s talk CLASSICS. You know, those old tunes from your past. The song you remember from your first kiss, your first club, your first rave, your first gig, etc. Don’t think you’re too young to have classics. Classics aren’t limited to the 70s and 80s.

So in the spirit of Flashback Friday, we want you to post one tune that’s a classic in your heart. Forget the release date, just share one. Please post some kind of a link to video or audio with maybe the title, artist, and what genres you think this tune falls into. If you’re feeling ambitious, then tell us also why this classic means so much to you.

This topic will be open for one day, then locked. We’ll do this every Friday. Please only post one classic, so we don’t end up with an overload.
