Hello Friends and (dare we say) Lovers,
Herbie here with yet another sample of how we do it here on Friday night….this being the second set of September 23rd putting it sometime around midnight to one thirty am. Just about the time that people have had a couple of “Ramrod” cocktails and that means that the shirts are coming off and pheromones are flowing high gear, and I’m pushing this little system to the, I’m not even going to go there, compressed limits……>)
First let me just tell you a thing about the cocktails that come off of this bar. Keep in mind we are packed and the three guys bartending the front bar (Red, Don, and John) and the one “Doing” the patio bar (Mark)…..are pouring drinks that are like…..Ok….Let’s just say that they pour a “Manly” drink…..(tail waggin’).
Second guessing myself again about which set I’m going to put up next, and listening to several even newer ones….I’ve decided to put up the second part of the 23rd because I am so enjoying re-listening to it myself. For one, it is peak night energy and I remember it as being a night that people were coming up as they were leaving that night and saying how great the night was. As it should be….wagwagwagwag…(Big Smile). So, this is how they do it in the big city, on Friday night, without a dance floor, on a system that is so compressed that I can sometimes not even play over the crowd, AND, after having a few of the cocktails that come off of “That bar”. Turns out ….it’s a great set, with a Lot of my favorite songs of the moment.
There you have it….the way I give it….and the way they “Get it”.
See you at the clubs
Love all around

Fierceness Is What You Want
Hey Everybody,
The season must be upon us.....as the energy around lately seems to be charged. I have been working on some projects......and remixes...with my buddy Wayne. Lately WE have been commissioned to do a couple of remixes for some people......Three of them right now....so That has taken every spare minute we've had. Add on that we are learning new software......Ableton Live 5.0 is the newest and latest and greatest at the moment.....which is Too much fun. It has totally changed the way I look <and listen> at my record collection. We've turned into "sampling" wild men. Really some amazing stuff to be had.......and stay legal....>)
I would really LOVE to use Ableton to DJ with....now That <done correctly> would turn some ears on end. Example....go to
and listen to this craziness to get an idea.....although this is downtempo....it's quite inspiring.
I'm not sure if you guys that are downloading my mixes.....if they are repeating themselves or not.....I don't play the same sets all the time....but I do have some fave songs that will be "reCurrent" in the box for EVER . Bear with me as upon re-listening to this one....I seem to have played a couple of "Anthems" ....and I don't usually play a lot of what I call anthems. Also I like to listen to my sets to see what needs to come out of the box. What worked or didn't....what's Played out....etal. <needless to say...Phil Collins is out....whoops> Nor am I afraid to "Test' new tracks even without ever hearing them. I'll preview the intro in my headphones and if I think the drums fit the set I'm in at the moment....I'll drop it just to see what it sounds like.....sometimes they sneak by me and to my dismay....I'll find myself in a track that I may not ever play again.....for whatever reason.....the beats....the lyricical content or style....or it may have changed the whole vibe of the set....??? So i never apologize for the music.....Like I tell people all the time...."Hang out....it changes about every five minutes or so". AND...throughout the night....I'll play soulful...to tribal...to progressive....to electro...to funk....where ever the beats take me.....and what's hot at the moment....so It's always a ride......I like Good music. Everything in it's place.
So....this last set was part three from September 23rd.....with some wicked new tracks out. Take the trip where it takes you .....and enjoy the ride. Even with Phil...>)
See you in the clubs
Love all around
Herbie
