Recent mixes

Revolutions (Live Mix 2025)

2025 · ~60 min · Nu skool breaks

21 tracks in just under 60 minutes of bass-heavy breaks. The title nods to a few things close to my heart: my love of sneakers (especially the Nike Air Revolution), another trip around the sun, and the way I revolve between new tracks and the classics I used to play out years ago.

Lowered Expectations (Live Mix 2025)

2025 · ~60 min · Breaks

A groovy, darker, rolling breaks mix for 2025 — the follow-up to last year's 'Cleared Expectations'. Built on long blends and mid-tempo pressure: a slow-and-low journey for driving after dark with nowhere in particular to be. "Could also be called 'Unapologetic Rollers'" — DJ Cheshire.

Cleared Expectations (Live Mix 2024)

2024 · 51 min · Breaks / nu skool breaks

My first official breaks mix in over 15 years — new sounds, different beats, a little 2-step here and there, and some classic white labels. About 20 tracks in just over 50 minutes, recorded live in one take on 2/18/2024.

Sound Counsel (Live Mix 2023)

2023 · 53 min · Drum & bass

An emotional and very musical mix of mostly recent drum & bass releases — lots of vocals and lots of bass.

Foolish2 — Cleveland (2023)

April 1, 2023 · 45 min · Drum & bass

A practice session for my set at Foolish2 in Cleveland on 4/1/23. Twenty tracks of rolling drum & bass.

Classic mixes

The Real Bag of Shake (Studio Mix 2007)

2007 · 74 min · Breaks / dubstep

The piece of work I'm most proud of. Done entirely in Ableton Live, experimenting with chopped-up medleys and incorporating the then-new sound of dubstep with breaks. Every track has a deep meaning to me — it acts as a personal journal of those years. Full tracklisting and graphics at djmoose.com/bagofshake/.

don't hate me (ThumpFunk XM Radio 2005)

February 2005 · 60 min · Breaks / nu skool breaks

About 90% of my "don't hate me" mix, as featured on an episode of ThumpFunk on XM Radio channel 80 in late 2004 / early 2005. A huge shout-out to Fiddler for picking my mix to play on air.
