Here we are with episode number three of Subterranean Homesick Grooves™ !
Subterranean Homesick Grooves is a weekly electronica-based radio show presented on CHMA FM at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada, programmed and mixed by DJ Bolivia. Although the show will encompass many sub-genres within the realm of electronic dance music, the main focus will be on progressive and tribal house.
By the way, if you're looking for DJ mixes in styles other than progressive/tech-house, check out www.djbolivia.ca/mixes.html. That page has a number of mainstream/top40 dance mixes (the "Workout Mix" series), as well as some deep house, drum and bass, and other styles.
Older episodes of the show are not directly available from our servers anymore, to conserve space for more recent episodes. However, all older episodes have been archived permanently on SoundCloud.
Here’s a link so you can listen to the show or download it from SoundCloud:
Here are Track Listings for this episode:
01. Medway, "Trauma"[Benz & MD Mix]. 02. Girl Nobody, "Hello It's Me"[Marc Mitchell]. 03. Noel Sanger feat Dauby, "My Prayer"[Original]. 04. Neil Quigley & Nick Muir, "Feedback From The City"[Spin Science Remix]. 05. Gustavo Bravetti, "Sail With Me"[Ariel Perazzoli]. 06. BS As Deep, "The Finder." 07. Mike Mucci, "On & On"[Evolved Mix]. 08. 4Mal, "Red Dust"[Dust 'n' Ashes Dub]. 09. Pagano, "Marvellous"[Pagano In Heaven Mix].
If you're a regular fan of DJ Bolivia, you'll notice that this third episode looks familiar. This is a republished collection of some of our favorite tracks, which we're using while we're waiting for the podcast feed to be cataloged by the major podcast sites. Don't worry - we've got the kinks worked out and starting next week, each episode will be an entirely brand-new and previously unreleased mix.
By the way, Subterranean Homesick Grooves is not sequenced on a computer. All of the beat-mixing of the music is done the old fashioned way: using vinyl on Technics 1200 turntables, CD's on Pioneer CDJ-1000's or 2000's, and either a Pioneer DJM-600 or an Allen & Heath Xone-4D for a mixer. The music in each show will range from chart-toppers to classic wax, with a few unreleased tracks thrown in.
Go to the Mix Downloads page on the main DJ Bolivia website if you'd like to check out a number of our older mixes, or visit our SoundCloud page for individual tracks and remixes.
We also have a file containing complete track listings from all of DJ Bolivia's radio shows, studio mixes, and live sets. The PDF version can be viewed from within your browser by clicking directly.

The very first episode of Subterranean Homesick Grooves is now available!
Subterranean Homesick Grooves is a weekly electronica-based radio show presented on CHMA FM at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada, programmed and mixed by DJ Bolivia.

Older episodes of the show are not directly available from our servers anymore, to conserve space for more recent episodes. However, all older episodes have been archived permanently on SoundCloud.
Here’s a link so you can listen to the show or download it from SoundCloud:
Here are Track Listings for this episode:
01. Solarstone, "Rain Stars Eternal"[Original Mix]. 02. High Torque, "Sparks"[Original Mix]. 03. Morgan Page feat Norah Jones, "Angels"[Morgan Page Remix]. 04. Boza, "Twisted Mind"[Alex Celler Tech Dub]. 05. Cream Sound, "Always"[Stereotip Edit]. 06. Python, "Expectation"[4Mal Premonition Remix]. 07. R-Tem, "Cloud Of Sound"[Natlife Nu School Remix]. 08. Kenshin, "Afraid." 09. Bolivia feat Mike Allison, "When I Grow Old"[Prince Avitar Electro Aftershow Vocal Mix]. 10. Section 75 feat Penny, "Locked Heart"[Lynx Remix].
If you're a regular fan of DJ Bolivia, you might notice that this first episode looks familiar. It should, because it is the title of the DJ mix that inspired the name for the radio show, which was originally released on February 11th, 2009. Please be patient for the first three weeks, while we ensure that the podcast feed works properly, and then wait for iTunes and the other podcasters to catalog and publish the feed. The first couple of episodes will be republished collections of some of our favorite tracks that were turned into DJ mixes in the past, but by the third or fourth episode, each week will be an entirely brand-new and previously unreleased mix.

I'll tell you. It's like a radio or television broadcast, but the "pod" stands for "publication on demand." In other words, you don't have to tune into a TV or radio at a certain time to hear or see the show that you're looking for. You can listen or watch whenever you want. Most podcasts right now are just audio shows, but there are some video podcasts too. The best part is that podcasts are free. That's right: free music. Some people assume that the word podcast refers to an iPod. That is misleading. You don't need an iPod to listen to podcasts. If the podcasts come as mp3 files, which most do, then you can listen to the podcast on ANY mp3 player. You can also listen to the podcast on your laptop or desktop computer. Or if you want, burn it to a CD, and listen to it in any CD player.
How do you get or subscribe to a free podcast? Well, if you have used iTunes, it is extremely simple to subscribe to a podcast. Do the following:
Find a link to a show you like. For example: http://feeds.feedburner.com/madeintheuk
1. Podcast source files often end in file types like .xml or .rss or .php or other formats. However, as you can see from the one above, there may be more generic URL's that work as podcasts. 2. Cut and paste that podcast link into iTunes. To do this, open iTunes first, then do the following: 3. Click on "advanced," click on "subscribe to podcast," then cut & paste or type the link in, & hit ok. 4. In iTunes, once you've subscribed to a couple of podcasts, you'll see them listed in the podcast directory. If you double-click on any of the titles, you'll see a sub-menu which lists all of the old episodes. If iTunes hasn't already downloaded the older episodes for you, you can check the boxes beside any episodes that you want to download. You can also set the software to download every episode automatically, which makes things easier.
Other Software: iTunes probably accounts for about 80% of all podcasting software, called podcast "aggregators." An aggregator is a type of software that "collects" things. However, there are quite a few other podcatcher software programs. "Juice" is one popular alternative to iTunes. However, iTunes works just great, so it is probably the easiest program to recommend.
Where do I find a podcast? A lot of podcasts are listed on various websites around the internet. However, to save time, you can search for podcasts on a couple of specific websites that are very useful:
iTunes: If you're in the podcast section of iTunes, look down in the bottom right corner and you'll see a link to go to the podcast directory. You can also click on the "iTunes Store" in the left column, and when that shows up, check out the top right corner of the screen for the Podcast section. Anyway, dig around and find something that you like, and hover over the link. A "subscribe" button will pop up. Click on it, and you'll be subscribed to that podcast. iTunes will download the current episode immediately, and in the future it will download any other episodes that come out.
PodcastPickle.com: this is a website which lists thousands of podcasts that you can subscribe to.
Zune.net: Zune is MicroSoft's mp3 player. This site has a good podcast directory.
PodcastAlley.com: another website directory with thousands of podcasts.
You'll notice that there are a LOT of podcasts which aren't music. They may not interest you. However, if you dig around, you'll find a lot of great music podcasts too.
Starting this Friday evening, January 15th, my own weekly radio show entitled Subterranean Homesick Grooves™ will become available as a weekly podcast. I'll have more information about that shortly. If you like progressive house or related genres, I hope that you'll enjoy the Subterranean Homesick Grooves radio show, and you'll subscribe to it, and share the link with friends!

Looking for some new house music to rock out to? Check out the Heavy Shorts website. This site offers regular house mixes from a group of some of Atlantic Canada's best DJ's, including several friends of mine such as Lee Fraser, Logan Hudak, and Jay Hamilton.
To save you time, and so their website doesn't get too flooded with traffic from people reading this post, you can download some of their mixes directly here:
But the best thing is that they've got their site set up for podcasting. Go to your iTunes and click on "Advanced," and then click on "Subscribe to Podcast" if you want to subscribe to future editions of this mix series. Once you're there, cut and paste the following link into iTunes and all future mixes will download automatically:

[Voy a incluir traducciones en espanol después del inglés, abajo de esta página].
Here are several of the results from the -Global Underground- remix contest that I sponsored this fall. There have been a lot of entries, so it was hard to pick a single winner. Our judges ended up picking three winning entries, and several more honorable mentions.
The winning entries will not be available from my website for a while, and instead they will be available for purchase from a few different music websites. However, to show my appreciation for all of the fans on my Facebook page, I am going to make them available to download for FREE for the next five days only, through the posting on my fan page. I will also release several more remixes the same way next week, including the overall winner. Thanks for all of your support, and here are the links. Please note that most of these are progressive house style remixes, not mainstream club tracks, although Paulina's remix is faster and trance influenced, and Cozmic Cat's is very housey:
Chef Napalm's 212 to 313 Dub (honorable mention): mp3 / wave
Aqui están algunos de los resultados del concurso -Global Underground- remezclos que yo patrocine este otoño. Se registraron muchos participantes, entonces fue difícil escoger un solo ganador. Nuestros jueces terminaron por escoger como ganadores a tres participantes, y mencion de honor para otros participantes.
Los ganadores no estarán disponibles en mi pagina web por un tiempo, en cambio estarán disponibles para la compra desde otros portales de música. De cualquier modo, para mostrar mi aprecio hacia todos los fans en mi pagina de Facebook, voy a ponerlos disponibles para descargar gratis por los próximos 5 días únicamente, por medio de los "postings" en mi pagina de fans. También lanzaré varios más remezclos la semana próxima, incluyendo el ganador. Gracias por todo su apoyo y aquí están los links:

If you know anything about dance/house music from the past decade, you’ve probably heard of Gabriel & Dresden. They won dozens of IDMA’s from 2005-2008, releasing a couple dozen #1 hits on the Billboard Dance charts, either as their own releases, or as remixes for other top artists such as Armin van Buuren, the Killers, Jewel, Way Out West, Madonna, Markus Shulz, Rachal Starr, Paul Oakenfold, New Order, Tiesto, Annie Lennox, Nalin & Kane, Sarah McLachlan, Coldplay, Deborah Cox, and Britney Spears. Well, maybe not all of those didn’t make it to number one, but many of them definitely did. Their music has helped define a generation of dance floor fans.
G&D’s last official show together happened at the Winter Music Conference (WMC) in Miami in 2008, at The Pawn Shop. Dave Dresden recently released a recording of that set, which is the whole point of this post. You can download it here in a minute.
I was really disappointed to hear that they had stopped collaborating together. Their last live show together outside of WMC was (to the best of my knowledge) a night at Pacha in NYC. I was actually supposed to videotape that show, because I was working on producing a short video promo for them. On the flights there, I got delayed by a snowstorm in Toronto and missed my connection by about two minutes, so I didn’t actually make it down to that show. Needless to say, it was one of the most disappointing moments of my life. At the time, I thought that I could make it up at a future show. In retrospect, it was one of those opportunities that you never get to have a second time.
Perhaps it is better that they started working independently? Both are incredibly talented, and I'm pretty confident that after a bit of experimenting and reassessment, both of their careers will benefit from the new direction. There is no doubt that their work as a team was incredible, but like anything, change is inevitable, and people who embrace change can benefit. My take on their partnership was that Josh was always a strong producer first and foremost, and Dave’s strength was always as being a superb DJ who could read a dance floor. But that would be a gross over-simplification - in the past twelve months, Dave has already charged head-first into churning out dance-floor anthems, and Josh Gabriel has been confidently exploring his own space both as a DJ and producer.
Dave is now working on a new collaborative project with Mikael Johnston (formerly of the California trance/house group Mephisto Odyssey). Already, they’ve done some major remixes for Nadia Ali, BT, JD Webb, The Crystal Method, and Lily Allen. Their remix of Lily Allen’s “The Fear” is great, and I’ve really been enjoying that remix for some time since I first heard it on one of Dave’s monthly promo mixes. Here’s a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wGoglwhTh4 Embedding has been disabled for that video, so you won’t be able to watch it directly through this blog post, but you can check it out on the YouTube page. Also, if you're reading this on my Facebook feed, remember that Facebook doesn't import embedded videos so you'd have to click on the direct links anyway.
Here’s a link to the Dresden & Johnston remix of “Love Story.” If you are trying to figure out where you’ve heard Nadia Ali’s voice before, it was probably when she was the lead vocalist for iiO, with dance hits earlier this decade like “Rapture” and “The End.”
Nadia Ali, “Love Story”(Dresden & Johnston Official Vocal Remix)
Josh has also been very busy lately. I believe that he relocated from California to Amsterdam this year, to continue his work with Different Pieces and other projects. Here’s a link to one of his releases from earlier this year:
Anyway, although I am very excited about their new independent careers and the tracks that they'll both be producing, I'll have to admit that it's nice to listen to another of their sets from back in the day. I was lucky enough to have seen them performing in several venues in 2006-2008: Phoenix, Boston, Edmonton & New York. But of course, their last set at The Pawn Shop will go down in the history books.
It's a big one. Four hours, 600 megs. You can also find a copy of this set permanently archived on the "mix downloads" page on my website, along with a number of Josh & Dave's individual and combined sets. That page can be found here: http://www.djbolivia.ca/downloads.html
