My June 2013 UNSPEAKABLE JOY gospel house (gay pride) mix

Let me start by stating that I am NOT into the "church thing" nor gospel music, per se. But, in recent months, through my exploration of the house music genre natural progressions have taken me deeper into the progressive, underground and gospel styles of house. As the 7th and final installment of my 2013 GLBT Pride Series this June 2013 UNSPEAKABLE JOY mix is in connection with a newly launched GAY GOSPEL HOUSE series. By NO MEANS should you MISCONTRUE my interest in gospel house music with the false notion that I'm on the verge of a rebirth. Like I said, I AM NOT INTO THAT "CHURCH THING". I'm into music and not unlike UPLIFTING TRANCE what I refer to as GAY GOSPEL HOUSE moves me. Nothing more and nothing less. And without apologies, Elvert

My June 2012 RELEASE House / Underground Mix in Celebration of 16th Folsom Street East NYC

While in celebration of this Sunday's 16th Folsom Street East event in NYC the third installment of my 2012 GLBT Pride Series entitled RELEASE which features an underground / house progressive tracklist the mix (and in reflecting on my personal experiences when I lived in NYC doing the 80's) is geared more towards after-hours dance and sex clubs that some may frequent (after a night or two of partying) on Sunday afternoon and evening.

LIGHT A RAINBOW Uplifting Trance (37th Capital Pride 2012) Mix

By now you will have observed that my gay circuit and gay pride mixes often feature music that is a bit different than that of many others. Even before reading Susan Morabito's 2012 Evolution Dance blog post my mixes have strived to push the envelope of gay dance music by exploring the work of many creative artists. While many of my past pride mixes reflect gay music from the past, LIGHT A RAINBOW as does the previous VOICE #8: TAKE MY HAND features uplifting trance tracks that I believe are excellent for gay pride or gay circuit club playlists.

During my celebration and documentation of the 37th Annual Capital Pride 2012 in Washington DC you can be sure that LIGHT A RAINBOW will be reverberating through my head via my Sony MP3player.
