As I was preparing to drive to Detroit for Movement Weekend, in anticipation of the Deep Crates / People of Earth party at Motor City Wine, I decided to record a tribute to the @thepeopleofearth label to listen to on the road. Because I love a challenge, I decided to play tracks in order of appearance on the label from PoEM 001 onwards. This mix features a track off each PoE release, PoEM 001 to PoE 010, then becomes a bit of a free for all. No planning or preparation, all recorded in one take. A bit rough around the edges, but nonetheless a great showcase of the quality and diversity on the label so far. Looking forward to the new Rick Wade release PoE 011 coming in September, and many more releases to come! Track list: Quiet Revenge - Kai Alcé PoEM 001 Afro Sci - Reggie Dokes PoEM 002 Naked Truth - Anaxander PoEM 003 Izza - Aakmael PoEM 004 People Music - Patrice Scott PoEM 005 Escapism - Rick Wade PoEM 006 My Zania - Haz Mat PoEM 007 Zodiac - Javonntte PoEM 008 Eloquent In Passion - Hanna PoEM 009

Been a while since the last Meet the Locals podcast, but we're back with episode #078, featuring a solid hour of grooves from a new arrival to the Washington DC house music community, Stu Kelly. Over to Stu for a few words about the mix: "Having just moved here from Australia, I was without my decks for almost 3 months while they (painfully slowly) made their way on a container by sea. AHHH! So let’s just say they’ve received a lot of attention from me since they’ve arrived :D I’ve been playing for a loooong time. Grew up in Dublin, Ireland where I first fell in love with DJing. Originally a techno DJ, as that was the dominant sound in Dublin at the time, I moved to Sydney in 1999 and noticed my sound evolve to a more house and particularly deep house center of gravity. Playing with really talented selectors over the years has further opened my ears and I’ve continued to incorporate more varied sounds from funk and disco to electronica and broken beat to my sets. I also think hosting a House music radio sho

For Episode #77 of the Meet the Locals podcast, we've got a quality journey through house music from DC local Dee Jay Clutch: "With this mix, I tried to showcase the different house styles that you would typically hear during my live sets. I love all forms of house but I tend to gravitate towards the up-tempo, funky side. Whether the tracks are jackin' or a bit deeper, they tend to have a disco element to them of some kind. It's a sound that I fell in love with a long time ago and it has stuck with me. I hope you enjoy this ride as I take you through vocal house, disco house, funky house, and all in all groovy house." You can catch Dee Jay Clutch at the following upcoming events: 3/7 - Tech House & Tacos @ Wicked Bloom DC (https://www.facebook.com/events/233590114191796/) 3/16 - Stereo - International House + Disco @ Backbar DC (https://www.facebook.com/events/2042625059190169/) 4/20 - Saturday Social @ Decades DC 5/4 - Blend - Backbar Takeover @ Backbar DC (https://www.facebook.com/events/3670663606909

Episode 76 of the Meet the Locals podcast features an hour long groover from relative newcomer to the Washington DC electronic music community, Dastan: "This mix was put together with the idea of truly meeting me and sharing the sounds that have helped shape my taste and what I think is a great sound that DC is embracing more and more. I went through a journey that begins really flirtatious and steady, and grows into a bit wilder of a ride, and ultimately landing you down in a sweet and warm place. There is a ton of middle eastern and oriental influence in it, which roots from my own family. The kind of sounds that you can't help but move a bit to, I think are very important in bringing the soul out in music, and I'm happy to highlight them here. I did a lot of traveling in the last few years and picked all of these artists and their songs from as far and wide as possible, while maintaining a central motif of curiosity and fun loving. At the end of it all, it came down to a core feeling that I hope you find

Something very special for episode #75 of the Meet the Locals Podcast, a two hour mix from one of the hardest working members of Washington DC's electronic music community, DJ, Producer & U Street Music Hall owner, @willeastman. To celebrate the launch of his second album Breathe this Friday, Will recorded this two hour mix delving into his inspirations for the album. Be prepared, this one is quite a journey, capturing the broad sonic range you'll hear across the eight tracks of Breathe. "While I was working on this album, my mother died and I faced a huge wall of family health issues. It hit me like a brick at the same time the United States started experiencing a political and cultural tsunami. Things are not ok in my homeland and it would be foolish to pretend they are. This album reflects that tension in its 8 tracks, from opioid addiction to our collective inability to tackle huge issues like mental health treatment and climate change. I put everything I have musically within me into this album,” says E

Been a while since our last Meet the Locals Podcast. What are you all waiting for? Send those mixes to dchousegrooves@gmail.com! Episode #74 of the Meet the Locals Podcast features a quality 2+ hour house music journey from DC local Nocturnal Wax: "The original sound I wanted to focus on was jazzy/funky house but after having my trusty Tascam recorder run out of juice during the first try, I decided to switch things up a bit. What followed was an uninterrupted two hour session with music purely selected in the moment, starting off nice and easy with some house then gradually diving into deeper sounds. In the words of DJ Bobby: No BS, just one take. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Kevin Pons, Kenny M, Shawn Travolta, markintheDark, and everyone who has listened to and supported my radio shows - Studio 96 and The Electrified Broadcast. Without them, I wouldn't be where I'm at today. Many thanks to Andy for giving me a chance to share my sounds with the DCHG community. I hope you enjoy it as much
