79. Emotional Robot Part 4 - Love Letter to Space
14/10/2022 Duration: 01h35minDeep House / Melodic Techno / Emotional Robot / Breaks. After watching lots of video mixes on YouTube recently by the likes of DJ Boring and Kilimanjaro (check out their Boiler Room sets by the way), I got inspiration to get creative and use the effects and other channels more and to cut up tracks and do some samples. We don't always have to do missionary do we?! It's nice to experiment and add a bit more flavour to the mix. Check out my YouTube channel for the live video mixes to emobot 4, emobot 3 and emobot 2, including a super trippy version of part 3. As always huge shout out to the artists. There are some bonkers tunes on here that are just too good to explain in writing. My particular faves are M.O.S's Na Vode Luna Igraet and Accidental Lovers by Jody Barr & Felicia Douglass. Headie One feat. Fred Again.. - Told (Brian Eno Remix), Alex Banks - Revolution, Polymod - Cycles, Sasha - Corner Shop, Tim Green - Moho, Pippi Ciez - Diourbe, Greg Nairo - Albe PT - Uriiru (Greg Nairo Remix), Day Out O

78. Emotional Robot Part 3 - Transformation
19/03/2022 Duration: 01h15minDeep House / Melodic Techno / Emotional Robot / Breaks. After Emotional Robot parts 1 & 2, this mix took me 3 months to sit and stew over the tracklist. I've been listening to dozens of mixes trying to find the best tunes for part 3. There are a fair few Sasha and Lee Burridge tunes from their last 5 or 6 mixes. I've also added a bit of Bicep flavour to it in the middle and gone for some breaks and much faster dnb. In fact, there are quite a lot of tempo / bpm ranges in this one. Some amazing tunes. Indescribable. Leafar Legov - In your Mirror, Nelly Furtado - Say It Right (Mass Digital Remix), Bajau Feat. Zoe Kypri - Flip Of The Coin (feat. Zoe Kypri), Declan McKenna - The Key to Life on Earth (TSHA Remix), TSHA - Me You, Bicep - Vale, Tom VR - Golden Memory, DJ Seinfeld - Electrian, Etherwood - Belorama, Roy Rosenfeld - Gran Poema, Matthew DeKay & Lee Burridge - Lost in a Moment, Rodriguez Jr Feat. Liset Alea - What Is Real (Deep In The Playa Mix), Sentre - All I've Got (Club Mix), Techno

77. Emotional Robot Part 2 - Learning to Cry
29/11/2021 Duration: 01h08minFollowing up on part 1 of the Emotional Robot series, which got into the top charts on Mixcloud for deep house, electronica and deep tech house, here is part 2. This one continues the journey through lockdown tunes. The story continues with our robot protagonist assimilating into the human condition and learning to understand and deal with emotions of sadness and longing. Or at least that's what comes to my mind after putting this mix together. It's a little bit more on the emotive side but with some driving tech house rhythms. Highlights include Charles Webster's beautiful live mix of Love Song 28 and Kolsch and Beacon's Pause. Both tracks featured on a more melodic downtempo Last Night on Earth podcast by Sasha. I think they fit right in here with some of the more driving tech house tracks. The first track 'Sherbert Head' by Boards of Canada I wanted to start with because it's like tuning in to a station before progressing with the mix. Thanks for listening. Boards of Canada - Sherbert Head, Jullian

76. Emotional Robot Part 1 - A Genius Boy Named Roy
14/10/2021 Duration: 01h06minDeep Melodic Techno/House/Electronica This is the first studio mix I've recorded on the Denon DJ Prime 4. It's part of a trilogy series inspired by tracks I've collected since the start of COVID. The tracks are part of a playlist called 'lockdown tunes' and they've been inspired by some of my favourite DJs and artists, especially for this part 1 in the series, Roy Rosenfeld. He features heavily on here with his dreamy melodic tech house. There's something of a middle Eastern vibe going on with this tracklist due in part to Roy but also Sebastian Leger's Lanarka. A big shout out to Lee Burridge as well. This is my take on his mixing style and although not as smooth as Lee I'm happy with the results. There are some amazing tracks on here. Give it a listen. A Moment of Clarity - Boards of Canada, Symphonic Fantasy - Makebo & Amonita, Hypnosa De La Rosa - Roy Rosenfeld, No Drama (feat. Nadav Dagon) - Roy Rosenfeld, The Light - Mass Digital, Honey - Roy Rosenfeld, Lanarka - Sebastien Leger, If U Ever - Overm

75. Time (feat. Movie Samples)
15/02/2020 Duration: 01h19minElectronica/Tech House/Deep House/Soundtrack. This is a live studio mix of some of the fun tunes I've enjoyed playing in the latter half of 2019. I've gotta thank the Polish Rastafarian Jacob, Graeme's pal, for tracks 2-4. He played them at Resurrection Spirits and I loved them but the recording of his mix was shite so I brought them together somewhat for this mix. The rest is inspired a lot by Sentre, who have been producing some amazing tracks and Sasha's Last Night on Earth podcast and label. Some great tracks on here. One iffy mix in there but left it in for posterity's sake ;-) Which one is it? Also, keep an ear out for the movie samples in there. Can you name them? There are about a dozen. Let me know in the comments... Sentre - Canadian Vibes, Yuksek feat. Polo & Pan - Cadenza, Crowd Control - If You Like, Kiu D - Deep in My House, Purple Disco Machine - Emotion, Robert Surace - Joys, Lawrence Hart & Casually There - Swimming Up, Ben Bohmer - Purple Line, Sentre - Enterprise, Roy Rosenfeld

73. MrVanDigital - Live Mixology @ Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver
19/09/2019 Duration: 02h16minFunky House/Disco House/Deep House/Tech House. Here are 3 segments of my mixes at Resurrection Spirits | Mixology Fridays on 23rd August 2019. I really wanted to bring you all of Graeme Jon's set along with these segments (it's about 4 hours in total) but we had some issues with the recording from his DJ system into our main one. Anyhow, check out the earlier mixes for Graeme's amazing tracks and mixing style. For this one, you're stuck with me, although I think there are a couple of guest mixes/tracks by Graeme hidden in here that didn't sound like the levels were blown. Hope you like it. I have a guest mix from Dry Stems to post soon as well as more from Graeme and I.

71. Graeme Jon & MrVanDigital - Live Mixology @ Resurrection - 29th June 2019
08/07/2019 Duration: 03h00sFunky House/Disco House/Deep House/Tech House. Okay we're back with our main style... Live at Mixology @ Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver. This one is house all the way but with a variety of different styles and a nice little 3 hour build-up in intensity and depth. Graeme's at it for the first section then I take over, then back to Graeme, and then me. To me to you to me to you! If you get that reference, there's something wrong with you. Anyhow I don't have a list of Graeme's tracks so I'm gonna publish these monster 3 hour sets without a tracklist from now on. If you hear anything you like or recognize, give us a comment. Oh! We're gonna do weekly Mixology starting August on Fridays so buckle in for the ride!

70. Live at Matt and Mel's Wedding in Maple Falls, Washington
02/07/2019 Duration: 02h56minOld School Pop/Rock/Hip Hop/Funk/Soul/House. This one's all over the place in terms of styles... It's a recording of a live party mix for Matt & Mel's wedding reception guests... And it's pretty solid in terms of execution apart from having to deal with a few drunken guests attacking the DJ booth (Volvo Tom & Steve O'Neill) but these bits add to the flavour... Anyhow take a look at the tracklist: it's pretty diverse... A balancing act between playing songs people know and keeping it fun to mix and playing a bunch of genres in one set... 3 hours of party tunes including one unknown random speed garage track from Tony near the end... Here's to married life! George Baker - Little Green Bag, Marvin Gaye - Got To Give It Up, Robin Thicke & Pharrell Williams - Blurred Lines, Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (feat. Bruno Mars), Rick James - Super Freak, MC Hammer - You Can't Touch This, Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (original demo from 1978), Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enou

15/06/2019 Duration: 02h59minDeep House/Tech House/Melodic Techno. Here we go! A live 3 hour set from our Mixology night at Resurrection Spirits on Saturday May 25th 2019. We're also celebrating the release of our website about the night featuring news, free tickets, and mixes here: www.mixologyvan.com Now this is how cool Graeme is as a DJ. Out of all the tracks I Shazamed from this set to find the track name, Shazam didn't find one. That's how exclusive his music is. You can't Shazam it! If you know any of the tracks, leave it in the comments.

68. Resurrection Spirits - 'Graeme's Gin Tonic'
23/05/2019 Duration: 01h52minDeep House/Tech House/Melodic Techno. This month's mix is dedicated to the person I stole 4 of these tracks off their playlist from... My DJ partner-in-crime, Graeme Jon. They're up there with the best tracks on this mix: The amazing remix by French duo Aeroplane of Lindstrom & Christabelle, the astounding Mark Knight remix of Dido, Cercle's vocal remix of Rodriguez Jr, and finally Monkey Safari's Sturm... There's a storm brewing indeed! I also love the Sasha remix of Baile on this one. He's proving he's got it not just as a DJ. Some of his latest produced tracks and collaborations are great, including the one with Dems towards the end of this mix. I also love the Green Velvet kick drum and vocals on 'What you talking about...' Deceiver... There are nearly 2 hours of strutting bass and deep spaced funk. Hit me up and let me know what you think... Brian Ferry - Don't stop the dance (Sleazy McQueen remix), Adala feat. LaVoyce - Hear It Everywhere (Illyus & Barrientos Remix), Groove Armada - Love Swe

67. Late Night Tales - A History of Deep (Live DJ Mix @ Resurrection Spirits)
03/04/2019 Duration: 02h12minDeep Electronica/Disco House/Trip Hop. This is a cheeky homage to yes, you guessed it... The Late Night Tales music compilations. What I loved about these is that they are a homage to the history of the chosen DJ or artist's musical tastes. Kinda like a musical story of where they came from and which tracks stood out along the journey. I also like that they are not really meant for the dance-floor and are quite eclectic. I loved the Air and Jamiroquai ones. You might recognize the odd track in this mix. I put together my own version that was based around a history of deep electronic music - a tour from Detroit to Chicago to Warp Records with some disco house thrown in. There are a lot of other cities represented like New York, Bristol, Paris, Sheffield, Leicester... The natural place to start was with a few Larry Heard type tracks. This was how the tracklisting evolved and I recently played this out at Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver and recorded the live mix then put it through my sound optimization

66. Resurrection Spirits - 'Lemon Ginger Smash'
20/02/2019 Duration: 01h26minDeep House/Tech House/Melodic Techno. This is more of what I like... Starts off deep and builds and builds... I like that I get to put two remixes by Andre Lodemann in here. Very underrated. Also, the Patrick Topping tunes steal the show. It also has some old school, some bangers and gets progressively more techy and bass-heavy. Goes down perfectly with a lemon ginger smash from Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver. Even if I do say so myself. Nicolas Jaar - Time For Us, Prommer & Barck Feat Lois Longerling - Lovin (Andre Lodemann Remix), Black Van - Yearning (Original Mix), Hardrive - Deep Inside [Original Version], Stefano Noferini - Disco's Revenge (Original Mix), Fatboy Slim - Praise You (Purple Disco Machine Mix), Mathew Jonson – Automaton, Dominik Eulberg - Opel Tantra (Original Mix), Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa - One Kiss (Patrick Topping Remix), Green Velvet - Flash (Jamie Jones Remix), George Fitzgerald - The Echo Forgets, Hot Natured feat.
