Midnight Soul | Underground House Music

Mid­night Soul is ded­i­cated to under­ground house music of all fla­vors: deep, soul­ful, dirty, disco, elec­tro, acid, funky and all points in between. I cre­ated this site share dj mixes with friends, fam­ily, and all the other house music lovers out there.  The site is very sim­ple to use — you can lis­ten to the mixes online or down­load the MP3 files and do what you want with them.

I hope you find joy in the music that has shaped my life and con­tin­ues to influ­ence me every day.

This is part 1 of a three-​​and-​​half-​​hour set recorded live at the Clubb House on June 5^th, 2010.  It kicks off with a mix­ture of old and new school soul­ful house tracks like ‘Music & Wine’ and ‘Girls Are Evil’. Then builds up to some rockin’ gospel house before tran­si­tion­ing to an under­ground house sound per­fected by the likes of Quentin Har­ris, Mr. V, Den­nis Fer­rer, and Ralf Gum. Be sure to lis­ten for track 14, it’s a sick remix of the 2000 anthem titled ‘Bad Habit’ by ATFC and OnePhat­Deva. The orig­i­nal track has been injected with new life by the Span­ish pro­ducer, Uner.

This set was recorded in 2009 but sat in the car for almost a year before mak­ing it’s way to the masses.  It starts off with a few mel­low house tracks and segues in to a nice groove.  The last two tracks are a cou­ple of old school anthems that must be played from time to time.

Enjoy.

On May 24, 2009 a bunch of friends ral­lied the NINJA disco bus from San Fran­cisco to Shore­line Amphithe­atre to see Janes Addic­tion and Nine Inch Nails – a nation­wide tour so elo­quently dubbed, the NINJA tour (Nine Inch Nails & Janes Addic­tion).  It was an incred­i­ble con­cert that paved the way for a stel­lar after party.  This set was recorded live at the after party and con­tains a nice col­lec­tion of house tracks: soul­ful, funky, and a lit­tle tech house to bring it all together. Aside from the fact that I played the same song twice (because Big Mike wasn’t lis­ten­ing) it’s a fine set.

Enjoy.

Burn­ing Man 2009 – what started as a tag team ses­sion between myself and Matt Kramer turned in to a 2 hour solo mis­sion at the Rock Bot­tom camp.  Zach Moore (Gough Street Ses­sions) was kind enough to record the last 45 min­utes of my set and post it on his website.

This is a dri­ving house music set and the song selec­tion is a bit dis­jointed; but hey, it was Sat­ur­day after­noon at Burn­ing Man… what do you expect?!

Mixed Sig­nals is a soul­ful house mix recorded at the Clubb House in Novem­ber of 2008.  My vision for this project was to explore a dif­fer­ent style of soul­ful house music – one with a chunkier, more pro­gres­sive sound that is ener­getic and beau­ti­ful but doesn’t teeter on the heavy elec­tro and techno sounds that are so preva­lent in today’s club scene.

The first twenty min­utes of the mix are deep and soul­ful with a slow pro­gres­sion in to the sound that I’ve been enthralled with for the past cou­ple years.  This deep, chunky sound has been around for a while with sup­port from leg­endary pro­duc­ers like Quentin Har­ris, Ralf Gum,  Mr. V, Copy Right, Sandy Rivera, Choco­late Puma, Dj Dis­ci­ple,  David Penn, Soul Avengerz, Joey Negro, Mood II Swing, Dj Spen, and King Unique.

To keep the music flow­ing on Mid­night Soul I’ve enlisted the help of a friend, Dj Rooz.  Well known in the San Fran­cisco under­ground as one of the hard­est work­ing dj/​promoters, Rooz has gra­ciously pro­vided this fan­tas­tic down­tempo mix that incor­po­rates elec­tronic beats, jazz, funk, soul and min­i­mal techno into an hour and six­teen minute melodic journey.

In addi­tion to his musi­cal tal­ents, Dj Rooz keeps the SF under­ground well informed about upcom­ing par­ties, events, and the lat­est music to hit the streets through his fre­quently updated website.

This is a bang­ing disco house set that may cause seri­ous phys­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal side effects. I rec­om­mend cau­tion! The mix­ing is absurd, the track selec­tion is over the top, and there are parts of the mix that could cause epilep­tic seizures.

All that aside, it was a lot of fun to make! We don’t hear much disco house in our cir­cles any­more so I have to resort to ban­gin’ it out in the pri­vacy of my own home. Yes, I’m still talk­ing about house music…

And one day while viciously throw­ing down on his box Jack boldly declared LET THERE BE HOUSE! And house music was born. You see, house is a feel­ing that no one can under­stand really unless you’re deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncon­trol­lable desire to jack your body and as I told you before this is our house and our house music.

I pulled tracks from a num­ber of leg­endary house pro­duc­ers that used to rock the disco tracks back in the day — Carl Cox, Olav Basoski, Rob­bie Rivera, Antoine Cla­ma­ran, Dj Dis­ci­ple, and Richard “Humpty” Vis­sion and many oth­ers. The ‘90s were an awe­some time for funky ass house music… here’s a lit­tle reminder.

Enjoy.

To start, I’d like to say thank you to all who pitched in for my amaz­ing birth­day gift last month. It’s only been a few weeks since I started play­ing on my CDJ 1000’s but I can hon­estly say that I’ve never been more inspired to DJ. Had I known play­ing CD’s was this much fun I would have hung up the vinyl years ago. So, thank you! Espe­cially to the love of my life and the mas­ter­mind behind the gift — you’re the best Tina!

As for my lat­est house mix, it was cre­ated for a close group of friends born in Novem­ber (hence the name) and played at Pink with Franky Boissy and Jojo Flo­res.

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a safe and enjoy­able NYE. I spent the evening with a small group of friends at Kelly’s Mis­sion Rock in San Fran­cisco. We had the priv­i­lege of watch­ing D:FUSE work his magic until the wee hours of the morn­ing. If you haven’t seen him live, I highly rec­om­mend it. He’s an amaz­ing per­former and never fails to turn it out.

Well, it’s a new year so I thought I’d start things off with a spir­i­tual rant to go along with my lat­est deep house mix. For those of you who don’t know 2007 marked the end of the Zodiac calendar’s 12 year cycle. What does this mean you ask? How does this relate to Mid­night Soul or any­thing else for that mat­ter? Well, I was born in 1972, so accord­ing to Chi­nese astrol­ogy, 2008 is my year! It’s the begin­ning of a new 12 year cycle… a time for change, new oppor­tu­ni­ties, and chal­lenges. I don’t hold much stock in astrol­ogy but I am look­ing for­ward to mak­ing 2008 the best year ever!

And with that I give you an uplift­ing deep house set called ‘Year of the Rat’.

Enjoy.

This mix, titled Acid Burn, was cre­ated in the stu­dio after a nice mel­low week­end with Big Mike. It’s chalked full of nasty acid and elec­tro house tracks with a few breaks thrown in for good mea­sure. After all, it was inspired by some guy named Lee?
