It Must Be Love

Play/Download It Must Be Love Part 1.mp3

K, Men ‘n Ladies,
Listen up....Spinning over the last few, not gonna say how many, years.. I've played a few different styles of music. But, it seems lately, that my DJ "Style," is somewhere between happy, uplifting, vocal house and funky, deep, electro, rub on it, sexy beats...(hehe, how's that for a concise description?) Chalk it up to having so many Good people around me, and feeling so much positive feedback and love. So it Must be a good thing.

So, This set is again, from the beginning of the night. Planned that way because I've been spinning some really beautiful lyrics, and wanted You to hear them. I always feel that the first song sets the tone of the night and the rest of the set just flows from there. Listen to what the lyrics tell you. I'm always talking to my room.
Now, That said, keep in mind that this set is just the first hour, twenty of the "Journey" that a whole night allows, and that I like All kinds of beats, and ALL kinds of crowds, and that means all kinds of "Journeys"...as long as they "Do" something, or serve a purpose to get you somewhere (requests included.) Even the musical style will change during the night, from vocal house, to sexy tribalness and progressive house, and does...every night I'm at the knobs (I like mixers with knobs and isolators).

...."blah, blah, blah"....couldn't I have just cut to the chase and just said...I love good music that makes you smile and dance....and Here you have a set full Of IT! Baby, Do you Feel me?
I appreciate all music fans, because I know we are all connected by the heartbeat. The pulse may come from the DJ booth, but the soul is on the floor. I also hope that you know that I have a real passion for the music, and love for the people who love it. I'm working on getting to a dance floor near you Soon. BE There, and Stay tuned, next show will be peak. Meantime, keep your head to the sky.

Love all around;
Herbie

VooDoo got Cowboy'd

Play/Download VooDoo Rodeo Ride

Hello, all my Bouncin' Beat Buddies,

It was with Great pleasure, this Sunday, not long ago, that I was the feature DJ at the Voodoo Lounge and serving it up for Babylon T Dance. I remember it well....it was the weekend of Florida's Gay Rodeo...and What a weekend. As I also spin every Thursday and Friday night....and this time of year here is Peak, High Season for tourists...And Gay Rodeo....so that everywhere we went....the bars were literally packed with cowboys...including where I am....so I Knew that Voodoo would be rocked....It was. (Mark it on your calendar for next year, the Rodeo is a HOOT)

I start at 4pm and on that day....as I was loading In...the fans were already pulling up by the car loads to hear how I come up...ok, prolly for the free drinks...(glance) Let me say here....I AM blessed with a Great, dedicated, sexy, music loving fan base. Mad respect goes out to each and every one of them. For enduring some of my "Journey's," Thank You.

This set, is the second set of the night....I call it a set, I record the entire night, but have to cut it up into CD length sets, about an hour - twenty minuets. So by this "Set" (beginning around 5:30)...I already had a dancefloor...which I kept, thank you Very much, till they put the sofas on the floor for the drag show at 11...and was well on the way to being a packed room....including Cowboys....which stayed with me right to the end of my set for the night....7 hours. Seems like it would be a long night, seven hours...but that DJ booth is So much fun to spin....so comfortable with great equipment and monitors....that the night seems to be over almost as fast as it starts. (Great side note)...A good friend, and fan, came up to the booth around 9pm(ish)...and said..."Herbie there is nobody on the patio Or the back (Latin) room...they are All on the dancefloor"....big smile, it was true.

Great energy all night long. So here...you have a "Taste" of how we serve up T dance, Herbicidal style. I mix up the beats....I talk to the crowd with the song lyrics..."You want to Touch Me"....(so subliminally, they talk to each other)...I throw in the obligatory Anthems....too many to play in one night, mind you....I give them anthems with a Twist....I Always keep the door to the booth Open...as I Love when people stop by to talk and grope....and it All feeds my energy ....so that I have Loads to Give back. So there you 'ave it. I Hope you "Feel IT".....Like I did. And I Hope that I get to "give It" on a floor near You...Very soon.

Till then....Keep your heads to the sky....Spread some Love, 'cuz that's how you Get Some....Lovin'.
And, while we're on it....send some to your mom and dad....they won't be here for ever....and on that note....send some to your friends too....so they know who they are. We're All Connected....by Love and Music.

Love all around,
Herbie

They Had It Coming (part 3)

They Had It Coming

Play/Download - They Had It Coming Part 2

"(You can’t, always get, what you want)
But you might sometimes....Get What You NEED"

“It was a dark, and stormy night”…(hey, it was)... and as I left the house, for the club that night…. The Hounds were barking...like MAD dogs, I tell you…Howling....I tell you the truth...It was in the air, I could Feel It.... and once again, I suppose that you Should have been there, as there really Is no way, for me to give you the full, 3D “grope around.” But; Picture This…and fast forward to the end of the night…(deleting, of course, the lurid and incriminating, E! True Hollywood story, Facts).

For Real...the bar closes at 3:00am…. and at 3:40, and after a wicked "come down set", they Made me turn the music OFF…. (for lights up)…. to a full room, of HALF NEKID, rubbin’ on it, right down to the very last beat, didn’t want to leave....Crowd. Now, I think, it had Something to do with the music. Ok, probably had to do with Cock-Tailed Barking Dogs....(snicker)...but there were some that said that the night sounded like I was playing for myself….and that the flow just “Flowed”. Ok, Maybe they had a bit too much to drink…(re:snick). But now, listening back; I might just agree with them, it just Feels Good. (Hey, Don’t fight the feeling)

Now, I do tell people, All the time….that what I do; is a Gift from God…(and What a Gift... “Music”)….and I truly, Truly believe that….as, I’ve been a musician (piano) all my life….and believe me, I’ve turned it All over to the universe, Many times….releasing my control….and basically asking God to pull my records….to give it FLOW....EDGE….SEX….LOVE….and turns out….IT HAPPENS! (every time). Just listen to my lyric choices.

On That note….Please, take time to listen to the words…and Hear, what the songs are Saying to you. Cuz’ I preach it. I Sex it. I nudge it, so that even if you’re in the room; and not consciously paying attention….you will Still be “Attracted” (subliminally), Completely unconscious, as to why you haven’t been able to leave…or that all those different beats that you don’t Recognize…. as “hit songs”… are seducing you; Back to the bar; for Just One More. One more walk around the “Walk of Shame” (the bar)…hehehe…(I Do have powers, you know).

All that in mind….(as I; sit here; listening again to the night…and feeing it)….consider this…These; are the songs you will be hearing for months to come. These; are some of MY faves….New twists on the theme….They may Not always be (insert your favorite Style of dance music here___)…and they may not even be your fave recognizable “Choons”….But know this….(and this is one of the things I love Most about Winter Music Conference in Miami, is)…That I AM, competent and in control….I do my homework….I “read” my crowd….and I have a bag Full of Fierceness to work You….and I AM; going to “Let You ‘Ave IT”…the BEST way I know How….Where Ever, and What Ever, that IS.

So my 4/4 buddy…for this podcast…I’m giving you the two Peak night sets from last Friday…sometime around 11:30 to 2:30. ( So that some night, when you want to get your groove on, Before you get on your way out the door for another, Hot night at the club….or; maybe just when you need to get a little “Herbicidal” (Tailwaggin’…. wagwagwagwag)….‘cause it's why I’m here....to make Sure that...You get Some…of What You Need!

Meantime….Cyber me sometime….herbie@herbiejames.com….and let Me hear.
What you listen to at home….what you like in the club. Who knows…I might just close with it some night. Hope to see you in the club very soon….Let’s rub energies.

Love all around

Don't Sit Just Spin

Download / Play - Don't Sit Just Spin

Dancin' and Prancin', Groovin' and Movin'

Ok all you Beat Bunnies....I'm going to step Out of the box here...and say that Techno, is Back. (Flashbacks of early 1990's) In a Way of it's own as only techno ever was. I for one, thought that it would be a scourge on the music world if it ever did come back...But, Now that I'm once again seduced by how the songs just take your butt by both hands and shake it back and forth....I'm Hooked. The crowd loves it....so it's part of my peak night, every night. This just happens to be a whole set OF IT. So put the babies to bed before you peep this one...get into your Own, self prescribed, Space...Open your mind a little bit...because you Will be rocked, with at least, Some of these choons.
Annnnnnd.....Jumpin' Jumpin' Jumpin'.....and Tail Wagwagwagwaggin'....This set is the stuff that makes it happen to Me. Ok, it helps when a superstar DJ shows up in my booth for a surprise visit. This particular night, the crowd was crazy and screaming to begin with...but I turn around and Danny Tenaglia is standing in the booth. (got pics) You Know I Had to turn it up a notch....and although I think he'd already left the club by this part of the night....the club was off the hook...to say the least. I've been onto the electro house tip for a year or so.....and have wanted to post a set of it, but this past week was the night it came out like This. Wild stuff I tell you...Just the way we like it.

So just listen and see if you can't see the similarities to any of your fave old school techno classics that I know you still love. Get back to me and let me know where you head is at on this...I'm curious to hear. Meantime, I hope to see you in the clubs soon. Be sure to stop by the booth and say hi. Till then....Don't Sit....Just Spin.

YOU Got ME Up

Play/Download: YOU Got ME Up

Listen Up,

Now, I've said before that when I am getting ready to go spin at the club.....I try to Always stop by the famed 'Wall O' Vinyl' and pull out a "Classic", or two, or three....to inspire me to higher and greater things....you know....MUSIC. Well this set is what came out from doing just that last week. Yet another fun note of fact....is...as I've said before....I'm inspired by various DJ's...one great contemporary being Danny Tenaglia. I've always "Felt" him....from afar I might add. So....the First track I pulled (Dajae "You Got Me Up") and the Last (D.T. "Bottom Heavy") are mixes of, or by him.

AHHHHHHHH....and Trumpets....and Choirs...and Light Shines bright as Doors Open.....(hehe.)

This time, upon listening to the mix a couple of times, I thought...I love the songs... the set is cohesive....and bears multiple listenings. It's got some Great classic songs, and some Wicked new ones. Signs of what I Call....a decent mix indeed. Know this too. Anytime I play music from the DJ booth...I'm "Talking" to my crowd. LISTEN. It's Songs...WITH Words. They have something to Say to you. So pay attention. I Love songs about Love, Uplifting, positive "Message" songs, and also Dirty, rub on it songs And beats. Every song, doesn't have lyrics...alas...Songs Without words...and They are there, to trancend you to the Next lyric...the Next level....Higher and higher...or Deeper and darker. There IS a method to my Madness...so I keep telling myself. Over and Over. Much like the 4/4 shuffle that moves me to do it. Wagwagwagwagwag.

"Short ideas...Repeated...Massage, The brain." (Robert Ashley)

Do ya "feel" me? I hope and pray that somebody....somewhere....Soon...will...and then....Watch out.
As I intend on unleashing the Herbicidal on you and yours...and trust...you Will "Feel IT". I can't Wait till it happens 'cause we're All, gonna have some fun then. Meantime...enjoy my new podcast. Look for me in a club near you. Stop by the booth and say Hi. I love when people hang with me. E me sometime, and let me Hear about what's in Your head. herbie@herbiejames.com Till the next time. Keep your head to the sky.

TO: ALL you Insatiable, Big Room, Beat Addicts;

I have been beat UP lately, with requests for one of my late night, big room ,dark 'n sexy, hands all over you, rub on it, sets. I've recorded several along the way....but they just never got to what I call, Podcast quality. I've said it before ...I like to play to my crowd, which always includes classics, and hits...but...when it comes to podcasts.... I want what I post, to sound a little more, shall we say, Timeless....So, I don't want to have them include the more big room, Anthem, top forty hits. Got me? So....This set happened this past Friday night...and yes...They, were rubbin' it....and grindin' it....and bobbin' it...and probably later, Strokin' IT. What we like to call....Cocktailed, Bumped, Groped and Beat...the Herbicidal way.

I call the set, "Goes ON, Gets OFF". It's taken from Peak night, till around 2:30ish. (we close at 3am) Packed club. It felt So Gooood. And, here ya go....some of my fave, drummy, dubby, beaty, tweaky, tribal nastinesses. I hope it makes Your tail wag.....Mine sure was...wagwagwagwag.

Hope I'm spinning a club near You soon....so that you'll be able to get the full, "All Herbie All the Time" effect. Tell somebody...let's work it out. Feeling You.

Love all around,

Play/Download New Year 2007

Happy New Year All You Dance Beat Freaks;

Thank You for making this great past year, one of the most exciting, creative, sexy and Fun filled years to date. And without going too deeply into the lurid, sordid, and somewhat incriminating details of 2006....let's just say that I learned a LOT...good stuff all around....Great, great year.

DJ wise, it wasn't a bad year at all. I still spin my weekly residence every Thursday and Friday night. I have turned out a wicked fun monthly for Gary Santis at either the Coliseum or VooDoo Lounge. I received the rock star treatment in Phoenix at the "Keeping the Desert Hot" party, and Rocked it. I got to spin for White Party, the Leather Mask Ball and, I was asked to be the first DJ to revive the Tribe of Man parties. Anytime you see Me in the booth....I'm there for You to get Your "Groove ON"...Anything I can do to help.

Getting on with 2007...let me just say up front...that I'd love to Podcast it all. It just can't happen....there's just too much music being played week to week. So, I'm going to try to focus you on the highlights as it were. This, being the first mix Up for the year....This is how I started the New Year....First set of the night....and what a Bang it was.

Stay tuned...there's more to come....and I'll try to be better posting ...for all you beat bunnies that can't get enough. Meanwhile....write to me, herbie@herbiejames.com, and let me hear what You've been up to....and What it is music wise that You've been diggin'....what Ever it is. Till next time.

Love all around

This Chart is HOT ....handle with care.

B BOING,
It's not sex....but good music is necessary for the soul....(and Sex)....and if you ain't got soul....you're probably not Having good sex anyway. And This chart is so full of hottie, Hotties....that you ought to be 'avein' it for days on end. wagwagwagwag.

A Darker Shade of White Party

Hello, all you sexy 4/4 freaks,

It is with Great pleasure.....that I come to you with this news....That I will be one of the featured DJs at one of this year's illustrious White Party events.....The Leather Masked Ball.

As you Must know....the White Party is run to profit Care Resource....one of south Florida's premiere HIV/AIDS service providers. During Thanksgiving week there are a week's worth of wicked parties to go to....and all of them fun, in and of themselves....but...let me try to sway your party dollars this year....and suggest that you at the Least....support your local community here in Fort Lauderdale....AND, Care Resource....and on Friday night....November 24th....Come out to the Steel nightclub...and join myself <9pm> and Randy Bettis ....and let's show 'em how we do it....give 'em a little Herbicidal sexualness....maybe seduce a few "Donations" out of you....get a little Cock-Tailed....rub on some of the Very sexy Leather Glitteratti that will BE there.....and just generally have one of the best times that a $20., in the door, can give you.

Now....It IS White party....and we all know how Legend some of these parties can be....I've been to quite a few of them over the years myself......and the usual dress is to think White....But this IS a leather MASKED ball....and I don't know about most of you ...but all my leather is grey and black....Which is all good....we Love Men in black....rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. SO....White party in mind....accessorize in white....layer in white....but THINK "Darker Shade of White"....Sexy white....and MASK...give sexy mystique. Let's make the walls glisten in white sweat........RRRRRRR. and THAT's the way we do it....and THAT's the party they will talk about for years....so Be creative.

It's all good fun in the name of a good cause. Let's unite in that cause....VOTE the week before....Hold your head up high....and dance like there is nobody in the world watching you.

Get your tickets online at www.whiteparty.org and I will see You there.

Love all around

What Is Sleaze music anyway???

Play/Download "This is a Herbicidal Come-Down"

Ponder This...

There's been some very nice references made by some very nice people of late ....mostly relating to beautiful club experiences of years past....about how the music over the course of a night, sometimes longer.....drove emotions high, and low....about, how the music would energize, and sometimes, breakdown to allow you to breathe for a bit... slow you down just enough, so you could just, let, go....when you stopped thinking about hearing That song as your favorite.....and started "Hearing" the chord changes,
the breath in the melody line, the Bassline groove, or whatever else drives the drums.

So I'm guessin' some of this is because we just don't get the experience enough lately. I don't even get to play it enough....seems I have to beat the floor with drums most of the time....I'm easily distracted though, you know.....and I like me some hard too....but on This occasion....I, having all this talk about classic "Handwaver", "Saintly" music...dug on my "Wall 'O Vinyl" for more than a few of them ....and on this, Thursday of nights....and ok, I have to admit....After a mildly entertaining, local club "Contest", which ran late, to about 45 minutes before close, I decided to break out the Shirley Bassey, a la Propellerheads, and start the journey down to close.....it was fun....the people that were there, mostly Got it, the boss liked it because of the extra change.....and the crowd stayed till about 3:20. So after giving it a couple of sexy re-listens....I have to let this one go. I think that every track is a classic in it's own time...Some are brand new....some are old....but together....tempo and key match aside....the program blend makes them all work. Now I only wish I'd had more time ...to "Stretch out" even more. Next time will be different.....They all are.

Word of reassurance....Most of what I play is hard beated....Tribal, Electro, Italian, German, French, all over....so next p'cast will be Beat .....Trust me. Meantime...listen to this after you come home....not before you go out....Like I tell them.....You have to Know what Down is ...before you know what Up is. Keep your head to the sky...

Love all around
Herbie
