DJ Jay - Global Groove
DJ Jay, DJ Sets, House, Tech House
What up my Beatery faithful, I’ve got a very special set to share with ya’ll today! This mix has been in the works for at least six years, ever since I first started that “World House” folder on my hard drive back in 2006. I’ve always been fascinated with different cultures, different languages, and as I love music with all my soul, I’ve also always been particularly fascinated with all the different instruments, grooves, rhythms, dances and melodies that make each culture unique.
As you may or may not know, I’m starting this series of happy hour parties and one of them has a World House theme! Finally the perfect excuse to get this pile of global grooves off my hard drive and into your ears. I don’t think its any surprise this set is particularly influenced by Latin and Brazilian sounds from my year plus in South America.
As always, enjoy and let know what you think!

Global/World house isn’t normally my thing, but there’s some nice stuff in here. I like the Bass Kleph track (which is really more tech house) and your mix/mash at the end works very well.
Thanks Cor! Yeah, it’s all about context with some tracks. That Bass Kleph jam is certainly hard tech house but surrounded by more worldy tracks I think it brings out those elements quite nicely, and gives the set a “pick-me-up” and the right time. You could say the same for the Cassius track and the final Super Flu joint and w/o the mashup is just pretty prog house.
Speaking of that Bass Kleph track, have any idea what the instrument sampled in it is?? I’m going with Berimbau.
Yeah, it’s definitely a berimbau.
