Episode #42 of the DC House Grooves Meet the Locals Podcast features a quality deep / tech house mix from DC local Enamour: "For this mix I wanted to showcase the range of sounds one might hear in my monthly mixes, productions, and live sets. Starting off with a washed out, deep house sound more appropriate for introspection, I slowly move into darker, hypnotic tech house with a stronger club focus. In my productions and mixes I always try to meld both feelings--a nostalgic, melancholy sound with some darker, upbeat stuff--and I certainly think this mix is no different." You can catch Enamour at the following upcoming gigs: Sat, Oct 1 at Mellow Mushroom Rooftop, Washington D.C. w/ Bête Noire https://www.facebook.com/events/1802241996657865/ Thurs, Oct 6 at Bonfire, Washington D.C. https://www.facebook.com/events/171582286579966/ Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/enamourmusic Twitter: https://twitter.com/enamourmusic Facebook: http://facebook.com/iamenamour/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/enamourmusic/

A few words from Katrina Mir about the mix: "No forethought in this mix.

We've had a few quality tech house mixes recently on the Meet the Locals podcast, but now it's time for some proper balls to the wall, take no prisoners, techno from long serving local https://soundcloud.com/sinestro. Recorded live at his recent appearance at Big Dub, this one grabs you by the short and curlies and doesn't let go! "I was invited to play in The Pirate ship at Big Dub this year so I knew I was going to be able to play a lot harder than your average club gig. Boy was I right! I started off with a 140 bpm Surgeon tune from 1999 and was able to keep the vibe going till the end of the set. The highlight of the night was a remix I did for VKTR vs Gazza "Funny Biz". The bassline in that track kicked in and the crowd went into overdrive. Stellar party! Big props to Ian Denbow and Chad Bozzarelli for booking me along with Eddie Traxson and Dj AMP for making the sound so dope." You can catch Sinestro playing regularly in the DMV region. His new EP under his Darik Wyldstar alias comes out at the end of

I wanted to show a bit of range in what I like to play and my influences over the years. Influences from UK Hard House to Rock and Roll and everything in between. Now as I mature like fine wine, or moldy cheese, I've put it all together with a bit of house, tech house, deep house, and even some Madchester sounds. Thanks for listening. I look forward to meeting you all at some point behind the decks, at the bar, (in Safeway) or on the dance floor!"

"This set incorporates mostly techno tracks and is an accurate representation of what my taste in music is these days. Not too heavy, not too easy is just how I like it. Using my new setup which includes a Xone 42 and two Xone K2's, I have tried to mix tracks of different moods and energies, having them intermingle with each other and dissolving into one another. After moving to DC from Karachi, Pakistan, I have been very fortunate to see many artists in DC and at Movement Detroit that I look up to and respect including; Sebastian Mullaert, Seth Troxler, Pan Pot, Tale of Us, DVS1, Adriatique, Joseph Capriati, Matador, Maceo Plex, Nina Kraviz, Tin Man, Art Department, Mano Le Tough, Len Faki and Adam Beyer.

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; s

Got a really special mix here for episode #30 of the DC House Grooves Meet the Locals Podcast from talented local spinner Jett Chandon. While we predominantly house, tech house and techno mixes, we invite local DJs to showcase their own unique style, and here Jett Chandon delivers a unique blend of beats from a broad spectrum of genres, keeping you on your toes for the duration of the mix. "I'm sure you want a description. I am horrible at descriptions so I can only tell you whats on my heart. I know you haven't had a mix like this featured in the DC House Grooves Meet the Locals Podcast before. It's extremely diverse. It pulls from all different genres such as techno, house, dancehall, UK Funky, Grime, Garage, bass, I mean you name it. That is the special thing about bass music, it continues to pull from all genres, from all categories. I know people have a miss conception of bass music. As soon as they hear the phrase, they tend to think that its loud, ravey, bullshit stuff which it is not. I hope this mi
