Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 031

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:01:42 +0000

First show from the brand new decadeium (Will Smith already declared the 2000’s “Willenium” didn’t he? Seriously, isn’t that the weakest album title ever?). But I digress. First off, happy new year to all of yous. I’ll wish you all health and happiness, it starts from there.

Soo much good music to share on show #31, tons of stuff didn’t make it! Special thanks to Scott C from who I stole 2-3 bomb tracks from his NYE set @ The Goods (thanks to everyone who came out for that party!). Also, a special thought goes out to all my haitian friends in Montreal and beyond. Woch nan dio pa konnen doule woch nan soley.

Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 030

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:06:42 +0000

For landmark show #30 I decided to bring my recorder to a gig I just did with the ESL Crew’s dubstep, garage and grime night. This was definitely one of my favorite gigs of the year mostly because I rarely get to play this kind of stuff and its such a big part of my background as a DJ. I started out my first 3-4 years dj-ing 2step and UK Garage and it was a constant battle to explain to peeps in Montreal what the hell it does.

No need to explain anything to the ESL bwoys, they know their stuff in and out. On top of that Bus and Skinnybones are both cool chaps! Anywhooo… this mix is probably not for everyone but here it is anyways…

The Travels of Igor Sleepypants | MIMS x OLDgOLD

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:38:05 +0000

This is the first time I do a special guest for someone, and who better to start with than my long time homie Jonah Leslie and his boutique / brainchild OLDgOLD. His space is truly a little universe full of life, check it out here: www.OLDgOLDBOUTIQUE.com.

So hmm, this podcast kind of needs an explanation in order to justify why I want you to invest over 2 hours of your time (yes, its the longest i’ve done). Basically, a while back I got the idea of doing a mix that would kind of be inspired by a night of sleep. So you have mellow and spacey stuff , but you also have wild and wacky stuff for when you’re dreaming about being in a secret mission to save the Princess in Super Mario 1 with under 100 seconds. Anyways, you get the idea… I hope

Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 028

Show 28 already… Glad everyone is still listening and spreading the virus too. For this edition, it’s a return to usual format. Tons of new goodies from all sides: dubstep, house, hip-hop, soul, and so on… Usually, I play the more uptempo and abstract in the second part of the show and the more soulful and funky stuff first but for show 28… woooaaw. It’s the opposite! Crazy! So it’s a backwards excursion through BPM’s… 160 to 70!

Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 027 (Live w/Dâm-Funk)

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:12:35 +0000

For those who missed it here is my recorded set from the night I played with L.A’s true funkster DAM-FUNK @ Club Lambi in Montreal. It was a true honor to rock it with someone that doesn’t just talk the whole “for the love” thing. On top of being a dope producer, performer (the guy Dj’s a track, then signs over it, gives props to the record thats playing, then to top it all off, he busts out the synth-axe) the guy is just a class act to everyone. I’m just glad I got to play before him and not after hahah…

I got to play a lot of stuff that I rarely get a chance to, lots of 80’s boogie, some disco, classic hip-hop. Publishing live sets is tricky so please consider the effect of everyone having had 1-2 too many drinks, including myself.

Pfew! Finally Pod 26 is here… sorry for the delay but when I took on the task of making another Reggae special I kind of forgot how long it took me to do the first one.

Just to clear things up a little, I am by no means a Reggae Dj. This is simply a collection of some of my favorite jams, and the point for me is not to necessarily go into super rare shit… it’s just to share with you some of my sacred treasures. For everyone who loved the first one hope this one doesn’t disappoint. As for the nubies, Pod #04 was all the way back in 2007! You can check it here.

As always when I do a theme oriented podcast, I try to not use my awesome FM voice to ruin the fun This mix fits on a 80 minute CD, so burn this baby and bring it to the beach!

Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 023

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Thu, 14 May 2009 14:53:55 +0000

I had a small case of the podcasters’ block this week. Was kind of feeling “meh” on most of the selections, not that there is a shortage of dope new music by any means. So, instead of the usual mish-mash radio mix style of pod I usually do, I thought I’d hook you all up with my first DISCO mix evveer!

Disco is such a misunderstood genre, people associate it with the insanely cheesy ball tunes we’ve all heard 1 million times but disco was so influencial in the evolution of Hip-Hop, Electronic music, House and so on…

There are tons of great producers putting out gems these days, from the DFA style Indie-Dance stuff to the more abstract and dubbed out Moodymann-style stuff. Hope you likey.

UK Forever (Off-Series Podcast)

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 04:38:01 +0000

This is a not a regular podcast so don’t be freaked out if this isn’t your cup of tea. I had to put this mix together because i’m a big lover of most things UK (to me its hands down the best music scene in the world). The main reason though is that when I started Dj-ing almost 10 years ago now, I was mostly known as a UK Garage & 2step DJ. God knows that back then I had to explain time and time again what the hell 2step and UKG is… “well, hmmm… its kind of faster than house, slower than Drum & Bass, with heavy bass lines, shuffly beats and sometimes cheesy R&B vocal”… confusing huh.

Anyways, this is a little tribute mix to the UK Garage family tree: Dubstep, Grime, Speed Garage, Bassline, Uk Garage, 2Step. (Shout out to my original UKG compadres, Senyo, Dr.Love & A-Rock)

Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 021

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:34:11 +0000

I’m really feeling a bit overwhelmed by the insane amount of great music coming out lately… Dope young producers like Bullion, Hudson Mohawke, Dorian Concept are coming out of nowhere and they’re bringing an abstract electronic grittyness to hip-hop. There’s also tons of amazing dubstep out there… Very dope. On the other hand, there’s a lot of more organic stuff out there like Mulatu Astatke’s new record with the Heliocentrics, Beirut and so on… Anyways, i’m overwhelmed with goodness so here’s a few of them.

Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 020

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:10:01 +0000

Looking back on 2000-h8!

I’m a big lover of those end of the year lists everyone puts out, Djs, Blogs, Magazines, Radio. It’s the time of the year when I find out if I was alone with most of the stuff I liked and I usually discover tons of overlooked releases in the process. So I figured podcast #20 would be some sort of recap, but it turned out it was such a daunting task. It would have been a four hour show so I just decided to do a regular one instead… don’t hate. It’s so 2008.

Personally, this pas year was my best in terms of my Dj-ing and the website. On top of my usual 2-3 residencies; thursdays at Folies, fridays at Blizzarts, saturdays at Barocco I played a bunch of fun gigs with great DJs, dancers and music heads. For me the highlight of my year was the fact that I got to play so many different gigs that were radically different from one another.

Started the year off nicely with the GOODS gig at Sala Rossa with some jazzy & funky dancefloor business, played at the cities best outdoor summer event PIKNIC ELEKTRONIC and was able to play things I love but don’t get to play that often like dubstep, house and bassline stuff. I also did a bunch of different things like a breakdance competition, advertising agency parties, a dope night with A-Rock and his PEER PRESSURE crew night, and even a classical music throwdown (I swear, it was for the Bach Baroque festival at Rialto!). Finished the year off nicely with the THERAPY crew at Cherry with some deep and funky house… oh yeah, and I also played at the Biodome for a bunch of penguins.

Oh and the website is doing pretty good too! Around 4,000 listeners per show and 50,000 visits a month. Thanks so much so checking the show and site out. Keep on spreading the virus! (I won’t quit my day job just yet)

Music Is My Sanctuary – Podcast 019

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:10:09 +0000

New goodness from all angles for show #19. A little hip-hop at the beginning since there’s been so many good releases recently (Q-Tip, Common, Jean Grae, Illa J, Madlib, Count Bass D, shiiit… .even EPMD released a new record!)

I also wanted to rant on a bit about the whole “hipster” / “scenester” culture. Let me start off by saying that the last thing I ever want to be musically is a purist, to me that’s the worst. I don’t understand why musical scenes and styles are so apart. If you’re a good DJ, why would you only play 1 thing when theres so much out there… If you’re simply a music fan, why would you not open up to more than one style…

To me the true test of an artist, track, record is longevity: is this gonna be relevant in 10-20-30 years? At the same time i’m also not down with people who shit on that whole culture and think that a DJ who plays with Serato or downloads off blogs is a poser. Playing vinyl and digging records doesn’t make you any better than anyone else. (Playing Vinyl only doesn’t make a shitty Dj any better, and playing Digital doesn’t make a good DJ shit either)…

Wooow, ok sorry for the rant…. enjoy the show. Good music is good music. Nuff said!

Saaaaweeeet Sixteen…
This is a special LIVE set recorded at Piknic Electronic in Montreal on August 24th. Usually known for a more minimal tech oriented schedule the Piknic squad took a chance on a different flavour. Sunshine, extreme heat but most of all BASS was at the rendez-vous that afternoon. A big big thanks to all who came out (also for all your lovely comments on the message boards), to my fellow Dj partners of the day (Ghostbeard, Bliss and SaseOne) and to the Piknic staff.

Nuff’ Goodies…
Show #15 is packed of new stuff cause I haven’t played a “new music” pod since #11 (#12 was the 1993 Hip-Hop Special, #13 never existed in order to not bring bad mojo to my site, #14 was more of a soundtrack to my Spain trip with mostly older tracks). So here we are… some hip-hop tracks including Nas’ Ode to Fried Chicken, some Boogie tracks, Electronic stuff, Dubstep, and a couple of summery gems at the end.

Reallllly sorry for the delay but here it is finally Pod 12. This time, i’m doing a special tribute to 1993, some people like to call it the “Golden Era” of hip-hop, I personnally call it my rocking “British Knights shoes and my Charlotte Hornets Starter jacket” era. So this is it… I didn’t cheat, all these songs came out in 1993 (either the LP or the single) so yes, please sound the nerd alert; here we go.

Live 2:30 hour set @ The Goods!
Damzo time flies! Starting this site and podcast has really exceeded all my expectations. It’s obviously totally different from playing in a club but still very rewarding in a different way. If I had time I would put an episode out every single week but you have to wait every 2-3 weeks for one. Anyyyyways, enough rambling. Show #010 was recorded live at The Goods night in Montreal… for those who don’t know it’s a monthly saturday night hosted by Scott C and Andy Williams. Still going strong after 5 years it has welcomed some of the best DJs around; Domu, Daz-I-Kue, NuMark, etc… and now me!

Kicking things off right!
Its been a good start to the new year for me; well musically speaking at least. Big shout out to our guest on last friday BluRum13 (NinjaTune, OneSelf) who killed it on the mic for 3 hours at Blizzarts.

Lastly, I will be playing at The Goods night on Saturday January 19th at Salla Rossa with Andy Williams. I’ve been waiting for that gig for a while so I will definetly go all out! Hope you like pod #009 and all the best in 2000008 to all of you!

Holiday Super Sale!
Its the end of 2007 so I decided to do a little 2 for 1 sale concept. Meaning, 2 back to back tracks from the same artist so this edition is probably more of a selector vibe than a DJ mix seeing as these tracks dont all fit together. Basically wanted to highlight some of the dope releases of the last year like Pilooksi, the return of WU and so on… and as for the other tracks, no they aren’t from this year but I just felt like pulling them out!

Deep Tech Vibes…
Show #007 already… Thanks for tuning in every time, and glad to see that the audience is growing and growing. For this show I decided to switch it up a little bit and give you some of my favorite Deep Tech House tracks of the moment. My goal with this show is always to play different things from time to time and to make people open up to new genres of music. I love to play house music for Hip-Hop heads and vice versa.
