This fan page is currently fueled by raw mohawk power and as long as my hawk continues to grow… free music will continue to flow.

If you have enjoyed the last 7 years of free mixes of chunky beats, dance inducing rhythms and smile inducing breakdowns I would be infinitely grateful if you stopped by my facebook page and graced me with a ‘Like’. Your digital gratitude will fuel my music for years to come.

:::Functional Parts 072 – 6-Year Anniversary Show:::

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.

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.

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.

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☆

☆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 071 w/ Inkfish, Randy Seidman:::

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.

:::Electronic Journey Episode 052 – Guest Mix:::

electronic-jourey2-1x1

Andrey Mikhailov Presents Electronic Journey episode 052 Ray Mack Guest Mix (April 2011).

This month I was a guest on my buddy Andrey Mikhailov’s radio show Electronic Journey on www.16bit.fm. Recently I’ve been listening to a lot of older progressive house that has funky yet uplifting beats and melodies. The mix I did for Andrey’s show is a carefully crafted Journey through some seriously badass tunes from the last few years. The mix is constructed into a tightly jam packed hour of pure fun and exaltation. I recommend setting up a chair out in the sun… dropping this mix in the boombox and chilling with a nice cold drink and some great friends. Enjoy!

:::Functional Parts 066 w/ Andrey Mikhailov, Faskil:::

functional-parts-66-desert-paradise-1x1

Functional Parts episode 066 (April 2011).

When I was putting together this mix I was in the middle of remastering my new tracks Hot Pursuit and my Cruel Summer remix. When I get into this mode, my ear becomes extremely sensitive to the quality of the mastering done to the music I’m listening to. So while browsing through tunes, I was inevitably leaning towards tracks that are extremely well mastered. Because of this, I decided to do a tribute to some of my favorite driving progressive house tracks that are mastered well. The mix consists of 10 tracks packed full of glistening pads, destructively punchy basslines and chords that bite and stab you.

This month I had my good friend Andrey Mikhailov on the show. Andrey hosts the awesome progressive house radio show “Electronic Journeys” on www.16bit.fm. Next Friday, April 22nd I will be a guest on Andrey’s show, so don’t miss out! It airs at 11pm PST and again at 2am on Saturday the 23rd. Thanks for being on the show Andrey! Loved the mix. Looking forward to being on your show on April 22nd.

My next guest was Faskil. Faskil’s mix played from 1:05pm PST to 2:05pm PST. Recently Faskil and I had our productions released on Frisky Records new compilation series “This Is Frisky! 001″ you can check it out on beatport.com here: http://bit.ly/hD38Qx It was a pleasure having you on the show Faskil! Your mix was absolutely superb. I hope to repeat this experience many times in the future!

Thanks for tuning in everyone! See you next month on May 20th at 11am PST on www.di.fm/progressive with uplifting progressive house legends EMBLISS and SONIC UNION.

:::Ray Mack – Functional Parts 065 and Illuminate 001:::

functional-parts-65-avatar

Functional Parts episode 065 (March 2011) + Illuminate episode 001

This month on my show I aired the first episode of my new mix series ‘Illuminate’. The show is a collection of some of my favorite hard hitting Progressive House/Electro House/Tech House from the last few years. I decided that I can’t let all the good music I have go to waste simply because it is older. You can check it out and download below.

For Functional Parts 065 I decided to start off dark and work my way up in energy and emotion. As the mix flows from beginning to end it evolves from driving beats to uplifting prog. As usual I debut a bunch of new tracks from producers like Daniel Portman, Umek, Chris Reece, Lish, Moguai and more. You can also checkout my guests mixes on their websites: http://www.sinjun.com  and http://www.soundcloud.com/skitch-1

Enjoy.

functional-parts-64-1x1

Functional Parts episode 064 (February 2010).

Been a few months since I’ve made a mix with entirely new tracks. However, that time has arrived and it came out quite funktastic if I do say so myself. I debut 2 new productions in this mix. Definitely my 2 favorite tracks so far this year. 1st track 6 in the mix is a track I produced with Sinjun titled “Loompa”. It is a rendition of the Oompa Loompa song from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. I have been destroying dancefloors with this track recently and I am quite proud of how it turned out. Next on track 7 is my new solo production, “Hot Pursuit”. The track is driving and funky with a haunting vocal that builds throughout the track. Oompa Loompa will be released soon as a bootleg and will be free for all! Keep an eye out for it. Enjoy.

Functional Parts 061 – 5 Year Anniversary

functional-parts-5yearanniversary3-1x1

Functional Parts episode 061 “5 Year Anniversary” - w/ special guests LRCN, Johan Nilsson, Michel Doga, Skitch, Sinjun and Zan. November 19 2010.

Recently Adolfo Morrone released his 2nd EP on NuZone Gears. The EP is titled
“Veil Of Maya,” and it includes 3 original tracks in the relatively new progressive
sub genre entitled “Progressive Tech”. Earlier this year his EP “Prog O’Clock” came
out on Tendenzia Records and was a huge success internationally. Keep an eye on
this Italian producer/DJ because he has an extremely bright future.

Blurb:

I can’t believe that it has been 5 years since I started this show on Digitally Imported Radio (DI.FM). 61 episodes later and it is still going strong! Over the course of the last 5 years I have gradually changed in style and skill level and the journey has been awesome. Hosting Functional Parts really led me to discover my true sound as a DJ and producer. From Progressive House to Electro then to Progressive Tech, Tech House and finally an amalgamation of them all. My genre now is “Anything that is GREAT”. I try to keep an open mind and over the years the best Dance Music being made has shifted and evolved through many different sub-genres. I have had a blast riding the wave and changing with the times and I am truly excited to see where House goes next. So cheers to another 5 Years of Functional Parts and to the future of Dance Music as we know it!

Ray Mack – Functional Parts 061 – 5 Year Anniversary by ℛay ℳack

This month I had 6 guests that have all contributed a lot to the show and are some of my favorite DJs/good friends.

Johan Nilsson (aka DJ Irish) is the man who made it possible for me to have this show in the first place. Not only is he a great Progressive House DJ but without him DI would not run so smoothly.

LRCN is the current admin of the Progressive House Channel alongside Johan. LRCN is a long time friend and absolutely amazing DJ. When I was 17 years old LRCN mentored me and taught me the ropes of spinning. Soon after he started teaching me.. I got seduced by the sounds of House music. Thanks to Larson for training me in the ways of the Jedi.

STORM EVENTS DJS:

Storm Events is an event company that I started in the LA/Hollywood area with several of my favorite local DJs and friends. In the last year Storm Events has grown exponentially and the year will culminate in Storm Events opening for ATB and Gabriel & Dresden at The Palladium in Hollywood! Amazing how fast we have grown. So for my 5 year anniversary I decided to showcase the talent that the Storm DJs have to offer.

Zan has provided many excellent mixes for my show over the last couple years and I am looking forward to hearing what he brings this month. He is an extremely badass DJ and I have enjoyed tagging with him on many occasions – including opening for Sultan together at The Standard in Downtown LA.

Sinjun is my co-producer, good friend and fellow Storm resident. We have produced many tracks together as well as his solo projects – recently released on Nueva Digital and Kroton Sound. He has also provided many excellent sets for FP and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for this month.

Skitch became obsessed with mixing in the last couple years and in a short time has gone from just starting out – to being an absolutely unstoppable force on the decks. The mix he provided was performed on the fly and is definitely one of his best mixes yet (and one of my favorite overall mixes of 2010). Dark and chunky with a hint of industrial sounds – this mix kicks ass!

Michel Doga – Our honorary Storm DJ from Spain. Holding down the decks for 15 years now – this guy is absolutely INSANE with his skill. I’m rarely impressed by mixes, but this guy managed to blow my mind.

DubVision, based in the Netherlands, is an upcoming producer / DJ duo. Providing dancefloors with energetic tunes, DubVision has a very promising future. Dubvision consists of two Dutch brothers, Victor Volt and Stephen Noque. Their passion for music has led to great tracks, getting a lot of support at the moment. They are known for their uplifting melodies and big beats. With a style varying from progressive, tech-house, to sweet house tunes, the duo covers a broad dance floor market. Remember the name, cause you’ll be hearing it a lot.

Blurb:

This month on my show I attempted to find a balance point between my older more progressive side and my recent obsession with really funky tech-house. I think I managed to achieve a cohesive formula. However, I will let you be the judge of that! At episode 60 I am verging on 5 years of Functional Parts! Don’t miss the special extended show next month celebrating 5 years of consistently Functioning Parts!

Tune in next month on Friday, November 19th for Functional Parts 061::: 5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! With guest mixes from Johan Nilsson, LRCN, Michel Doga, Zan and more!!

Enjoy.
