Jim and I (for those who don't know we DJ together as 'dattrax' and have been best friends for ages) have bought a few more batches since we bought the music on this mix a few months ago. So we have enough new music (well... new to us since we didn't hear these tracks before) for three more mixes after this one.
Have soooooo many mixes in mind to make and so little time...

house music by dattraxStrictly Freestylin' » Strictly 80s Freestyle Music or Gino Beats ; )dattrax: this is one of the few NON- HOUSE MUSIC dattrax mixes. This is crammed full of great classic freestyle tracks. Also known as Gino Music. I loved listening to this stuff. Feels like 80's glory days and reminds you of Miami (even though we've never been there). Convertibles, big hair, and the beautiful innocence of youth.
Jim's Brother In Law as a big Freestyle DJ in mid to late 80's and I borrowed his cd collection (he slowly captured his vinyl collection w/ cds). I think his DJ name was "Capital Punishment". Ha ha... so cheesy that it's cool.

house music by dattraxRecognise My Intentions » Strictly Old School Musicdattrax: this is one of the few NON- HOUSE MUSIC dattrax mixes. This is sort of an old school 80s type of music with Sade tracks, some freestyle, etc. Short and sweet. Nice and mellow. If you're born after 1975, then you'll probably won't recognise most of these songs.

house music by dattraxViolet Rhythms » Strictly Progressive House Musicdattrax: I good friend of mine Inth, had a phase where he wanted to be a DJ. So he went out and for 6mths bought about a 150 records. Then he quit and gave them to me. Normally we don't play progressive house, but decided to go through Inth's collection and pick out the best tracks. This mix is the result. Our only progressive house mix to date. Hope you like it. Please comment if you do. dattrax

JIM: “Dat was a practice monster, and had made a few dozen mixed tapes that he duplicated, into a few hundred, he burns through gear like nobody’s business, tape decks, cd recorders, CPUs, monitors, you name he’s killed it. Through just plain old overuse, Dat’s not a DJ, he’s a House Monster. But he had labeled those tapes “dattrax” and at the time I couldn’t come up with a better name so “dattrax” we became!
I get really lucky when it comes to gear, files and converting our catalogue of records to mp3s. I love gear, I...
