The latest edition of the Meet the Locals podcast comes from a relative newcomer to the DC underground house music scene. Originally hailing from Scotland, Doktor D can be found spinning regularly at various venues in DC. Over to Doktor D for more info about the mix: "For my DC House Grooves mix I really tried to pay homage to the ethos of House music in Washington, DC; but with a twist that reflects more of me as a DJ. This meant working with deeper shades of House music which retain the funkier DC associated with the nation’s capital. I also wanted to showcase some European tracks which share a similar ethos but often very different routes and influences. Being from the UK, I especially wanted to showcase some up and coming British talent. So look out for tracks by Fort Romeau and Auntie Flo as well as an innovative remix of Marc Poppcke’s “Inner Conflict” by Last Day on Earth’s Thermal Bear. In terms of adding a personal touch, I made a concerted effort to occasionally shift the onus of the mix to a more Tech-edged sound. I think that breaking genre barriers is a great way of playing a wider of selection of music to your audience and introducing your crowd to different, often new, sounds. That’s enough from me though; I hope that you enjoy my mix!"
You can catch Doktor D at his monthly night "Silicon Based Lifeform" at Dr. Clock's Nowhere Bar, and also at the regular nights "Blueprint" and "Prescription" at Jimmy Valentine's Lonely Hearts Club. You can catch him next at Dr. Clock's Nowhere Bar on Feb 18 2015.
