I first shared the desire to go on this trip with the Tastyfresh community on July 23rd.  In order to go I would need to get the time off approved by work, raise $2000 for the trip, and get all the necessary paperwork completed.  On August 17th I took a leap of faith and purchased a plane ticket, with no place to stay and no confirmed spot at the conference.  It was one of the biggest leaps of faith I think I have ever taken.

Following their live PA at a Halloween massive, American breaks producer Q (known as his "brainchild" Uberzone), his companion DJ Davey Dave, Rick and I sit amidst the party's smoky backroom. In case Uberzone is a new name to you, Q has been revolutionizing breaks (along with the entire electronic scene) as we know it since he surfaced. With recognizable tracks coming all the way from 1995, Q prides himself on tying his love for technology to his music.

Proton has been hosting remix contests every few months. The most recent contest was for the new Deepsky and Marc Mitchell track Lost in the Moment. The winners for this contest were announced just a few weeks ago now. We sat down with one of the winners and two of the runners up for a little chat about the remixesand their faith.

It’s been two years now since Dave Copland opened the doors at Demulcent Records. We’ve ment to sit down with Dave earlier, but we just have not been able to work the schedule out until now. Without any further delay, here’s Dave Copland to tell us all about Demulcent.

Since June, NDM has had nine massive releases in 2005 with more heading out the door in 2006. Sonically, the label is a combination of tribal, tech, Latin and just about any other type of house music you can think of. Diverse in its music and diverse in its beliefs,

This episode of Sho’ Ya Love is about The Reluctant Legend himself.  I think he’s got the best stage name around.  Multi talented, intelligent, versatile, loves our humble craft, and masterfully runs our tight little ship of a home we lovingly call TastyFresh.  But how did he get his music thang going?

So you're set to spin at a club, maybe a wedding reception or a youth event. The anticipation creeps in as you methodically plan out the set you're gonna rock the crowd with. The needle drops on the vinyl. The song you pick is a sure floor packer. Problem is no one seems to be dancing. Hold on a minute. "What's going on," you think to yourself. "That song is a sure fire winner for the floor", your thoughts race.

Two weeks ago, Hurricane Katrina SLAMMED the Gulf Coast. Over half a million people were without power in that region. Homes all across the coast were destroyed. It didn’t matter if you were a poor family barely trying to make it by or US Senators. The storm destroyed literally everything.

Any history of a Christian dance scene must include not only the producers of the music and the DJs that spin it, but also the variety of venues, the myriad of events, and the differing motivations that exist for throwing parties – outreach, worship, the desire to kick out the jams, whatever.
