There is one fact about Nathaniel Jay that not many people know about: he was actually born ina record crate, which somewhat explains why he seems more music than man. His passion for music is indisputable and he could spin records for days on end without noticing that any timehas elapsed. Nathaniel is a vinyl enthusiast, with an exceptional taste in music especially when it comes to house, drawing influence from the finest purveyors of the genre’s deeper shades. He has made quite a reputation for himself in New York – aside from being the main resident DJ at the 766 Afterparty Headquarters in Brooklyn he has played at popular city hot spots such as Cielo and Love. Reputable underground parties such as BlkMarket Membership, Secretsundaze (NY edition) and the Coloured Soundcollective in London have also included him in their line ups. He is also best known for founding Pitch It Down!– a ‘movement’ for spreading the global ethos that a record sounds best when you slow it down (amen to 119 and –6!). To his credit he recently started dabbling in production with his Aussie partner in crime, Dave Robertson, creating a strain of deep house under the Soho808 moniker. He's come out with some pretty impressive stuff for a first timer (but then again, let’s not forget Music is his mother tongue).
For this exclusive mix* I asked him to get really really deep, and well, he hit the spot. This set reflects his skill and talent as a music enthusiast who understands deejaying as both an art and a science. Get down and enjoy this quality deep house journey that sounds so sexy it will most likely peel your clothes off…and get a repeat as well. It’s only fair to say this guy knows what he’s doing...

You've heard the saying before. These words of wisdom, "don't forget to go home," were coined by London/Berlin based DJ-producer, Ewan Pearson. It's the smartest piece of advice (in our opinion!), for surviving in the city that never sleeps...When one party quickly turns into the "afterhours" then into an after after party (and so on...), you can lose your mind (we've all been there). So in order to keep the fun going, we have to go home eventually. But this certainly doesn't mean stay home. Sleep, eat, regain your sanity and you'll be good in no time for another wild round...
A little dose of the good stuff. At Don’t Forget to Go Home, we comb the web, music archives, magazines and record stores for the best of music (new and old), fun and interesting articles, fabulous mixes and news...here we bring you a little dose of our findings to perk up your day.
