Set Sunday - Desyn Masiello at SOS Cruise Party NYC 2008

I ran across this set on MercuryServer only a couple of weeks after it was recorded aboard the Queen of Hearts cruise ship that sails around Manhattan.  If you can imagine the perfect mixture of mellow house music to accompany a sunset behind the New York City skyline, it would be this 2.5 hour compilation of tunes.

The production outfit of SOS consists of Demi, Omid 16B, and Desyn Masiello.  While all 3 individuals played during that evening in August 2008, this mix is Mr. Masiello's contribution to the party.  I had this recording in heavy rotation during the fall of 2008, finding it was just minimal enough to make a good study mix.  Enjoy.

JW / Electronica Classics 031: Desyn Masiello's 2004 Essential Mix

This week's selection is one of those mixes that seems to sound as fresh on the 1,000th replay as on the first. Dare I say it's also one of the most danceable selections out of all 31 currently in the Classics series.

I've never had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Masiello perform live (he doesn't get to the southern US much, aside perhaps from Miami...which isn't even really "the south", but I digress) though I've been a fan of his work for a number of years. His collaborations with fellow DJs Demi & Omid 16B under the collective moniker "SOS" have also yielded delicious results, such as their Balance 013 compilation and the notable SOS Boat Party cruises around Miami & Manhattan. I intend to feature a recording of one of those cruises as a future installment in the Classics series.

In the meantime, enjoy this wonderfully smooth two hour mix from Desyn Masiello.
