If you missed yesterday's livestream of the set I made for Socialdis DANCE, here it is in all its glory. On the decidedly upful tip, prime cuts from the 80s right through until now. Can't go too wrong with Samantha Fox (being given the Kevin Saunderson treatment), Aleem, Ben Pest and Tommy Vicari Jnr all sharing funky space.

On Thursday, May 7 two of my favourite things - music and movement - come together at http://www.socialdisdance.ca/, created by fellow yoga person, dancer and all-round good deed doer Robin Elliott. I've crafted an exclusive hour-long mix of uplifting, invigorating and soul-soothing house (new and oldschool), classic synthpop, techno and electro for the site that will air at 10am, 1pm, and 7:30pm EST. To participate, all that's needed on your end is to visit the site and pres...s "play" - what happens next is up to you! Join in for a few minutes or dance your tush off from start to end. Boogie alone, or nab some friends, set up a video chat and get down together/apart. If your current energy doesn't allow for much movement, feel free to don your headphones and sofa shimmy for a spell. It's free to join in, and Robin has generously set things up so that contributing DJs can receive donations for their time and effort. If being on prolonged shutdown has you feeling down, getting your body moving can go a long way in helping to stay out of the doldrums. Dancing has been proven to help alleviate depressive symptoms, improve coordination, memory and cognitive function. All those benefits aside, once you really let yourself get into it it's just plain fun. I hope to see you out on the (virtual) dance floor! #socialdisdancemovement #dance #dj #torontodjs #rave #selfcare #togetherapart #housemusic #techno #electro #synthpop #releaseyourself

A wee taste of Wednesday's 3 hour set. The late Dana Kelley a.k.a. Callisto's "Can't Wait" with a slow burn into the fire that is Mystic Bill's U Won't C Me. Housebound days and nights mean more opportunity for live sets to keep me and you occupied and moving. I'll post whenever I'm streaming, or if you have a Twitch account you can follow me and receive notification when I go live.

On for the next two hours. Drop in, say hi, dance your sequestered pants off.
