After a few weeks off, we're back with another podcast from a talented DC local, Tortoise and the Snare founder Wade Hammes:
"It's funny to listen to a mix I create now compared to when I started DJing a year ago and seeing how vast my tastes in music have changed in that short timeframe. Looking through my library, I've gone from a crazy love for 80s synthwave to Dirtybird-esque tracks to heavy tech house/techno to the underground deep house and disco (I Records, Sonic Soul Records, UM Records, etc.). It's been a roller coaster of sounds. Recently, I've started to find my groove with the latter and really think it suits me well. A lot of the influence developing my tastes I have to credit to https://soundcloud.com/crunt, https://soundcloud.com/iamphilco and https://soundcloud.com/ypset. They have been crucial in helping me find my sound the past year, along with being great mentors to my DJing.
This mix encapsulates my current tastes to a T. Spacey, loungey deep house that is groovy and not overpowering; something that everyone can appreciate and vibe to at any hour. There is something about a deep, filtered sound that really gets me moving. Don't get me wrong, I still love the other genres and they have their place, but good deep house is king."
