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

this Italian producer/DJ because he has an extremely bright future.

Randy Seidman (Open House Podcast | Fatali | RandySeidman.com):
In May 2008, Randy took a job managing the tour operations exclusively for Mushroom Touring Inc., Infected Mushroom’s tour corporation. Since then, Randy has toured with Psy-Trance megastars, Infected Mushroom, playing over 30 shows with them around the world (from Quito, Ecuador to Bangalore, India and everywhere in between). As one could expect, touring with Infected Mushroom has opened many doors for Randy, including headlining at Body Language in Syracuse, New York as well as warming up for M.A.N.D.Y. & Sandra Collins at Autocinemas Las Torres in Monterrey, Mexico. These experiences have allowed him to carve out his own unique blend of progressive music. Randy is about exploring the unknown; it is what makes him thrive.
My mix for FP this month is titled “Static Summer”. I called it this because the summer is coming to an end, and we all wish that the summer would never end. A perpetual summer… static in its place, would be absolutely ideal! Many momentous things occurred this summer, including seeing my first releases on beatport.com, The Macarena bootleg’s huge success and several amazing gigs with my event company Storm Events. It’s no wonder that I don’t want this summer to end! This month on Functional Parts, as a tribute to all the tracks that have been rocking the dancefloor, I decided to go for a bouncy uplifting/driving house feel throughout the mix.
Tune in next month on Friday, October 17th for Functional Parts 060 with special guests DUBVISION and DJ R-MAN!
Enjoy.

Local Los Angeles based DJ Dave Jin is quickly moving up the ranks of local DJs. Recently he has been playing at the famous Hollywood and Highlands nightclub. With a fast-paced mixing style – blending progressive house and trance elements, Dave keeps he dance floor moving.
The mix I provided this month “Midnight In Morocco,” is a bit on the techy side. I have been really enjoying this more funky side of tech-house recently. I also enjoy blending all the sub-genres of house together in a seamless manor – so while trying to find good new prog house this month… and not succeeding – I decided to incorporate some of the great tech-house gems that I have discovered recently into a set. The set builds and builds into a crescendo with some electro house and finally ends blissfully with a classic progressive trance track by Mango. Playing on the techy side of house this month also gave me a chance to play my new bootleg remix of “The Macarena”. Due to the massive demand for this track – I have decided to make a DUB version (no vocal, with a larger buildup) – which should be available for download in the next few weeks on my Soundcloud. I am also preparing for a massive gig this Sunday at The Standard Hotel, Downtown LA. I will be debuting my new remix of “Ace Of Base – Cruel Summer” at this event, make sure to keep checking my Twitter and Youtube pages for the teaser video which will be posted tomorrow (Saturday, August 21st). Please, do not hesitate to let me know what you think of the show this month.
Tune in next month on Friday, September 17th for Functional Parts 059 with special guests BEN BROWN and RANDY SEIDMAN!
Enjoy.

My show aired late this month due to a computer virus on my end. The computer has been purged of evil and is now fully operational. I put together this mix while feeling a bit sinister, so the first half is on the darker side. However, I quite like the sound… so, maybe I should feel sinister more often! Enjoy.
