Sinopse

Good People Better Rise Up! is a podcast from Alex Whalen, a 20+ year veteran of the dance music industry who has rocked dancefloors across the Americas and Europe. Over his career, Alex has, among other things: held down residencies with legendary clubs like DCs Buzz, SFs Spundae, and Bostons Avalon; managed Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi Shop and Yoshitoshi.com; appeared on numerous syndicated dance music radio shows, including John Digweed's show in the UK and Thump Radio here in the US; toured extensively with his long-time studio mate Dave Ralph, and, well... you get the idea. Having taken a break from the scene in 2008 so that he could complete a PhD in political science (and how many DJs do you know that could say that?), Alex is back in 2014 with a new energy, adding drum + bass to an arsenal that already included an impressive array of both current and future downtempo, progressive house, and techno classics. Look for new shows roughly every two weeks featuring whatever tracks happen to be grabbing his attention at the moment. For more info, check out alexwhalen.com. See you on the dancefloor!

  • Beyond the Technicolor Rainbow (Soundtracks & Scores)

    10/05/2013 Duração: 01h02min

    This mix is unlike anything I've ever tried to do at any point in my now two-decade-plus DJing career. The music has all been taken from some of my favorite film and video game soundtracks and scores, leading to a mix of orchestral and electronic tracks that are all over the BPM and time signature map. As a result, it took me nearly three weeks to complete, and is without any doubt whatsoever the most technically complex mix I've ever done. If you like it, do me a favor and let me know!

  • The Art of the Open, The KQ'ed Edition (Tech / Progressive House)

    26/04/2013 Duração: 01h33min

    Back when I used to open the main room at Avalon Boston, this was my sound - a mix of tech and progressive house, dialed down to set the right mood for the main act. In a lot of different ways, opening a night is much more difficult than playing peak or closing it down, and it took me years to get to the point where I could do it properly. In that, like so many many other things, I owe Ralphie an enormous debt of gratitude.
