#062 Music 4 Healing a Heartbreak

  • April 10, 2024 19:00

«House music properly came into my life when I was going through a pretty rough patch at the end of my teenage years and so I figured I’d put together a mixtape of tracks I would’ve loved to hear back then. It begins in the late 1980s with a handful of “Proto-House” tracks I could imagine hearing at the Paradise Garage (NY) & Warehouse (Chicago) later goes into the 90s House sound. If you’ve ever heard me play at a function, you might realise that I see House music as a great sonic canvas for expressing my feelings and so I make as much use of vocals as I can. There are so many different strains and flavours of House which is partially the reason why I seem to never get bored of it. Many of the genres that inspire me can be integrated into a House set for example Soul, Gospel, Disco, Jazz, Reggae, Latin & more. 

The heartbreak that inspired this wasn’t exactly a romantic heartbreak though, but rather a heartbreak from the current situation of the world (in German there’s a great word called “weltschmerz” which I would describe as translating to something along the lines of “pain of the world”, a feeling that seems to have been with me since the age of 15). I hope this mix helps you sit with your sadness and remember to have hope! I have processed so much in my life with House music playing, either at home or on the dancefloor with my community and always find it interesting when folks tell me something like “oh I don’t like House music”. Don’t knock it till you try it huh?»
