Functional Parts episode 074 – ☆NYE SPECIAL☆ - w/ guests Sinjun, Zan, DK and Etsuko (December 2011).

This months episode of Functional Parts was a showcase of some of the best talent that I’ve had on my show during 2011.

For my mix this month I focused on making the perfect NYE Set. The mix is called Resolution 86 and is full of hidden meanings. Its got funky house to get you started then big vocal uplifting main room house to make you swoon… and then driving progressive beats to get you moving. The set ends with a blissful track perfectly titled “Winter” which will leave you in a good mood. I hope you enjoy the mix! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years my friends!

Functional Parts episode 072 ’6-Year Anniversary’ w/ guests Andrey Mikhailov & Carey Davila (October 2011).

For the 6 Year Anniversary of Functional Parts I decided to do a short retrospective of the last 7 years of my Radio DJ career.

The first mix that aired on my show is my first official Progressive House Demo. It was recorded about 7 years ago LIVE on CDJs. This mix got me my own radio show on www.DI.FM, as well as a residency at Spundae when it was still at Circus Disco (The hottest club in Hollywood at the time). The mix is titled Electric Funk.

You can download the .mp3 for Electric Funk directly by clicking here: Download Electric Funk.mp3  <— Right Click and “Save As…” or hold control+click and “Download Linked File…” for Mac users.

The second mix is episode 051 of FP. This episode was a favorite amongst a lot of my listeners and it is a great representation of where my style was almost two years ago.

Checkout FP051 in the archives of my website here for tracklist and download link by clicking here.

The third mix is a replay of episode 069. This mix was never made available for download  on my website OR soundcloud.com so I decided to re-air it for this anniversary and make it available for download on my newly reestablished website.

You can stream episode 069 via Play.FM:

This month I am hosting my show from Jakarta, Indonesia so I am unable to record a new mix. I am currently in Jakarta collaborating with one of the top DJs in Indonesia Osvaldo Nugroho as well as preparing for a gig at the hottest club in Jakarta – Club X2. I have a lot in store for 2012 and I can’t wait to share it with all of you!

☆☆Special Guests for the 6-Year Anniversary Show☆☆

☆Andrey Mikhailov☆
Andrey recently landed a show on DI.FM with fellow Pure Perception Records label owner Kameleon called Sound Ascension. Check out the show every 3rd Saturday at 11am PST.

Download and listen to Andrey’s mix here on soundcloud: Andrey Mikhailov’s FP072 Guest Mix
☆Carey Davila☆
Carey picked up the decks over the last year and has increased her skill at such an extreme rate that it verges on frightening. This new set is absolutely sick and for a first official mix it is insanely good! She is the newest member of the Storm team and will be filling in for me at Avalon while I am in Indonesia. So proud of this new DJ! Keep an eye out for her.

Functional Parts episode 071 w/ guests Inkfish & Randy Seidman (September 2011).

For my mix this month I was channelling all of the inspiration, energy and happiness I received from my experience at Burning Man 2011. I am extremely happy with how it turned out. The tracks just kind of fell into my lap and the track order worked out great. I move from tech-house into progressive house… and then into electro house… and finally conclude blissfully with progressive trance. However, genres are irrelevant! It is just great music. I hope you enjoy this journey through sound as much as I enjoyed making it.

I was fortunate this month to have two massively successful guests. Inkfish and Randy Seidman. In the next paragraphs I briefly describe their careers so far.

_______________________________________________________________

☆☆Inkfish [Inkfish Recs, DK records, Jee Productions, West & Sumplus} ☆☆
The production/DJ Inkfish sprang to life in 1998, when the four Swedish mates Mattias Lindblom, Jesper Lindquist, Andreas Hermansson and Johan Hermansson joined forces. Dishing out a variety of electronic music over the last ten years, the quartet has established themselves firmly within the scene. Together with David West they also have been recording as De Nada, Synergy & Pharmacy of Sound. Inkfish has done dj-mixes for BBC Radio One and loads of stations world wide and are playing all over the world. The boys are also residents for Renaissances parties in Olso, Norway. Getting remixed by artists like Taking care of business behind the turntables you..ll find the two brothers Johan and Andreas. They provide a soundtrack of groovy progressive tracks with elements of tribal and tech. They are well known to rock the dance floors wherever they appear. Their reputation has so far taken them to over 30 countries worldwide. With 70 releases you will find loads of big tracks and remixes by artists like D Ramirez, Steve Angello, Sebastian Leger & David West. Recent works include the Inkfish remix of Nils Noa - Monkey Break and Hello Piano both reaching the top 10 on Beatports main chart. During the last month they had several tracks in top 20 on beatports main charts. They run their own Sumplus & Tolerant-labels, which is co-runned with Martin H and David West and had artists on their labels such as Chus, Kosmas Epsilon, Cid Inc( Mashtronic), Style of eye and many more. Being around since 1998 there is no doubt that Inkfish is a heavyweight in the underground clubscene.

☆☆Randy Seidman [Open House Podcast] [Fatali Music]☆☆

Since 2007, Randy has toured with trance megastars, Infected Mushroom, playing over 100 shows with them around the world (from Ecuador to India, Mexico to Russia, Canada to Ibiza, and places in between). This has allowed Randy to carve out his own unique blend of progressive music that has caught the ears of many.

Additionally, Randy has had the honor of playing at some of the world’s biggest clubs and festivals including: Privilege in Ibiza, Kapital Festival in Ecuador, Caffeine Festival & Beta Nightclub as well as the legendary Church Nightclub in Denver, Guvernment in Toronto, Insomniac’s Nocturnal Festival in Austin, and three times at the Miami Winter Music Conference for Ultra Music Festival.

Randy’s versatility has enabled him to share the stage with such well-known DJs as Kaskade, Ferry Corsten, Cosmic Gate, Benny Benassi, Gabriel & Dresden, Christopher Lawrence, Sandra Collins, Astrix, Steve Porter, Morgan Page, Rank 1, Second Sun, M.A.N.D.Y, Chuck Love and Colette, to name just some…

Randy pursues his craft with exuberant devotion: a desire for the party, for the sound, and for the beauty of progressive dance music. In the next few years, you will see his ambition take him to new heights – in music and in life.

________________________________________________________________

Thanks for tuning in everyone! See you next month on Friday, October 21st at 11am PST on www.di.fm/progressive for the 6 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF FUNCTIONAL PARTS! I will be hosting the show from somewhere in Indonesia as I travel and do some gigs. A tour/vacation!
