dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Music FIENDS!! How are you and what is going on with you? Some new friends, thank you for visiting. Some returning friends, you know what you're going to get... or not many times ; )Welcome to the place where house music is loved, cherished, thought about often, listened to intently, remembered fondly, discerning all the parts of the whole... all the layers, mixed with care and respect, expressed with love, encouragement, hopefulness, optimism, cheerful intent, and joy. House puts a smile on your face from ear to ear. Makes you bop. Makes you sing along. Makes you react... in your gut. Makes your hands go into the air. Makes you clap. Makes you tap your feet. Makes you shake. Makes you dance.Makes you reach out to others. Dance in unison. Embrace and sometimes more...You feel nourished. Refreshed. Dead skin has been shed.Then you go live your life to the best of your abilities. You take the good with the bad. Shit happens. Sometimes to others and sometimes to you. You control what you can and disregard & discard the rest.We need to be our top cheerleaders in our heads. In our self-talk. In our lonely times. In the quiet times.Then at the end of the day, we come back to the music to release all our joys and especially all the negative energy. Recharge. Let go. Let it out. Refuel. Refreshed. It's a new us. Ready for whatever life's struggles may bring.Bring it on. Be of good cheer Brothers and Sisters. We're connected to this common love. All the best to everyone. Go grab what you deserve by taking on your responsibilities and make this a year to be remembered.---------------This mix was a 2nd attempt. I did this mix at my friend, Hubert's CTRL ROOM (IG: @ctrlroom) in the west end of Toronto. The city we love. The city where house music is loved by many. The first attempt was on Dec9th, 2022. This was made on Jan17th, 2023. Usually, I go just by myself. Sometimes with one friend.This time I don't know what happened... a few more came along and it became an impromptu party on a Tuesday night. LMAO. There are a few mistakes in this mix, but the energy is fantastic and the company was wonderful. It was a lot of fun and wiped me out for most of my Wednesday. LolThank you Hubert. You understand my addiction to this music and have provided your CTRL ROOM many many times to feed it. Thank you for singing and dancing with me Stephen, Marlon, Myles, Raisa, Heidi, and my beautiful, Tommy. A Chinaman's best friend.
