To know me is to know that I love house music. I am always look­ing around YouTube and Sound­Cloud for mixes — par­tic­u­larly for work­outs. I’ve seen JaBig on YouTube a lot, but didn’t really dig into his col­lec­tion until recently. Ok…THIS DUDE is the shit! His mix­ing skills are tight, and there is a nice diver­sity of music in his mixes. Add to that, if you sub­scribe to JaBig’s site, you can down­load all of the mixes for free. (JaBig ask for peo­ple to donate to the United Nations World Food Pro­gramme. Done!) I am already eye­balling the capac­ity on my exter­nal music drive. JaBig’s mixes may need their own drive. A lot of JaBig’s mixes are sev­eral hours…yes hours…long. I just down­loaded a six-hour mix. If you like, or love, house music, do your­self a favor and check out JaBig. If you’re on social media, but sure to check JaBig out on Face­book and/or Twit­ter.

Here are just a few of his mixes.

It is a new year, and I am mulling over some changes to my blog. Noth­ing dras­tic, though. One of the things that is chang­ing is my music series. I am retir­ing my “now THIS is fri­day music” post. It had a good run — 88 install­ments. I’m always lis­ten­ing to music, usu­ally via Rdio, a song will grab me and I want to replay it over and over — kinda like I did when I was a kid with a new 45. Usu­ally what I do is book­mark the song, and then I go back to find more music by the artist. That dig­ging around was what allowed me to pro­duce the Fri­day music series. Some­times, the artist was a bit of a one-hit-wonder, and I didn’t find any­thing else I liked. This left me with some nice sin­gles for var­i­ous Rdio playlists. So, going for­ward, I plan to share music as it hits me with no set sched­ule or order. There may be posts with just one song; while oth­ers have mul­ti­ple tracks fea­tured. It really depends on how much time I have to explore an artist, and what I find dig­ging through that artist’s tracks.

I love shar­ing music that I find, but I would also like to get some feed­back from you. Just as I have turned some of you on to new artists, I’d like if you do the same for me. If you hear a song on here, and think there’s an artist that I might like, please share it on the comments.

With­out fur­ther ado, here’s who I’m groov­ing to.
