No One Walks Away - Deep House / Progressive House DJ set
A Deep House / Progressive House DJ set made with many muses on my mind…
That first track’s gorgeous and haunting refain- “No One Walks Away”… for me, invoked a notion that there are certain people in life that I will forever be changed by. They may no longer be in my life on an every day basis, but it is impossible to walk away from their influence.
When I prepared this set for YouTube, I settled on an image of my first muse – Gina. For a hundred reasons, I can never walk away from her. Though we rarely communicate anymore, (she’s happily remarried, busy with a family, etc), she brought things into my life that informed the course of my life forever. There are beautiful, impactful things that happen in my life evert single day, that originate with her. For this reason – I felt that it was appropriate for her image to persist on screen through this whole set.
I don’t think she fully knew how impactful she was being at the time. She was just showing up as the best Gina she knew how to be. And so it is with us – we never know when we will say or do the thing that leaves footprints in another’s life, such that they may say, “No One Walks Away”.
I’ve been a fortunate boy. While she was my first muse, she was not my last. I’ve been fortunate to have a few magnificent women come into my life over the years who have left me different, and better. They too, never just ‘walk away’, even if we never speak again. If you are one of those women – you know who you are – there’s a part of you in this set. I was thinking about you, feeling your vibe, as I picked the tracks and mixed them.
I hope you dig the set. I hope it takes you into beautiful, wistful, contemplative, inspiring spaces in your mind and body.
much love –
