Welcome to this week's edition of Subterranean Homesick Grooves™, a weekly electronica-based radio show presented originally on CHMA FM 106.9 at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada (but expanded to a distribution on other terrestrial radio stations), and also distributed as a global podcast through iTunes and numerous other sites. The show is normally programmed and mixed by Jonathan Clark (as DJ Bolivia), although some weeks feature guest mixes by other Canadian DJ's. The show encompasses many sub-genres within the realm of electronic dance music, but the main focus is definitely on progressive and tribal house, and a small amount of trance & techno. Liner notes for this episode (SHG 101) can be seen below.
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.

Well, here we are with the 100th episode of Subterranean Homesick Grooves. I guess this is quite a milestone. To be honest though, I'm not surprised: I did start with three digit numbering of the episodes from the start, knowing that I'd enjoy the project and would want to keep producing the shows for a number of years.
This episode is probably going to be remembered as being unique not so much because of the special number 100, but rather because I used this week's episode as the focus of a series of three YouTube tutorial videos to teach people how professional DJ mixes can be created using the Ableton Live software suite. And to clarify, lest that type of production somehow detracts from the regular skills needed by a DJ to do live shows and mixes, I will also be producing a couple of additional tutorials series in upcoming months to cover live DJ'ing techniques. I'll describe those details in more detail further down this post, after the track listings.
I'd like to thank CHMA 106.9FM at Mount Allison University in eastern Canada for allowing me to get this project started. I'd also like to thank all of my regular listeners for their regular support, for sharing the show on your facebook pages, for tweeting about new episode releases, and for following on SoundCloud. You know who you are, and I hope to meet many of you in person some day.
And now, let's get back to the program. This episode is a bit different than most of the recent episodes. It isn't quite as energetic at the end as most, but I think I've picked out some interesting tracks. Several are actually older tracks from several years ago. I purposely put a different remix of Cream Sound's "Always," by one of my favorite producers (Snake Sedrick). I say "different" because I used the Stereotip Edit of this exact track on the very first episode of SHG. By the way, Cream Sound (from St. Petersburg) is somewhat unique on this show for another reason: she is one of the [unfortunately] small ranks of female producers out there. This mix also features a recent track by David Anthony, a friend of mine who was actually the first person to book me as a DJ at a "rave" style party, even though I had already been DJ'ing for fifteen years at that point.
I should point out, on an unrelated note, that today is a notable day for another reason. Today is the 30th anniversary of the passing of Thelonious Monk, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. If you ever get a chance, watch the 2001 movie, "Straight, No Chaser" to learn more about this legend.
Anyway, without any further ado, here are Track Listings for episode 100:
01. Reflect Grace, "I'm A Robot, Not A Human"(Original Mix). 02. Kachu MX, "Orlando"(Original Mix). 03. Monodrive, "Deeper Sight"(Monodrive's Rainy Day Mix). 04. Trim The Fat, "Disco Head"(Original Mix). 05. Philip Jo, "Su Vit Nastis"(Original Mix). 06. DJ Smilk & Black Criss, "Is The True"(Original Mix). 07. David Anthony, "High Tech Soul." 08. Bas Struik, "Transitions"(Original Mix). 09. Vincent Villani, Kevin G, & Chriis Cruz, "Planet Underground"(Original Takeover Mix). 10. John Sweet, "Sliding Behind Sun"(Claudio Climaco Remix). 11. Paul Jays, "Spiritual Battery"(Carlos Fauvrelle Remix). 12. Martin Bonansea, "Spirit Of Force"(Original). 13. Cream Sound, "Always"(Snake Sedrick Remix). 14. Ke Nobi, "Jump Into The Air"(Rodrigo Diaz Remix). 15. Arieldecks, "Indian Rules"(Original Mix). 16. Gomo, "Bandelay"(Mikel Ayerra & Ismael Alonso Remix).

As mentioned above, this week's episode is somewhat special because I used it as the focus of a series of three YouTube tutorials to help teach Ableton Live users about ways to use the software in a programmed DJ'ing environment.
The first video teaches viewers how to warp tracks in Ableton, which is the key first step before the software can be used effectively for DJ'ing:
The second video is a very in-depth look at how to put together an entire DJ mix using the arrangement view of Ableton. Anyone with a basic understanding of music and of any sort of audio/technical software should be able to follow along and learn how to do the same thing:
The third video is currently in the process of being rendered and uploaded, and should be available here early next week.

I've been putting this show together while doing some work at a new studio in Vancouver. It's pretty exciting to realize that next week is the 100th episode of this radio show. That's a bit of a milestone. But in the meantime, a few notes on this week's show. I got a little bit off the tech-house track. You'll find that this show has a bit more progressive house and trance influences than any of the shows in the past several months. A little bit of variety is nice sometimes.

And I'm back on Canada's west coast, for quite a while. This week's show was put together in Kamloops, while I was speaking at a Forestry conference.

This will be my last radio show actually produced in Sackville, New Brunswick, for quite a while - I'll be heading out on the road for nine months later this weekend. In the meantime, I'm going to be DJ'ing at one more show on the east coast, in Fredericton on January 28th.

There's a good track in this week's mix that indirectly commemorates Martin Luther King's birthday, which is on January 15th. The track samples King's last speech, and if you listen to it, it's very prophetic, considering his assassination after the speech, on April 4th of 1968. It's also a very powerful and moving speech.
If anyone is going to be in Saint John, New Brunswick on Friday evening, January 20th, I'll be DJ'ing at the Pump nightclub.
