Hi there!

If you’re looking for information about Sunday Best, I’m sorry to report that the event has ended. I had a great time bringing you Sunday Best. No matter how much work, it was always worth it. It’s a shame I couldn’t stay involved, but I’ll always have great memories of our time under the green leaves and shimmering disco ball.

This site, www.directfromdigital.net, is a little side project I’ve been putting together, so if you’re interested in what I’m up to, check back here or use the ‘About‘ link at the top of the page to get in touch. If you’re looking for music I’m into, the links on the right are available for streaming or downloading.

Thanks again for all the support. It really was the Best event I’ve had the privilege of hosting because of all of you.

Nearly a decade after the first BAllroom.SEssions recording was released, DiReC1Fr0mDiGi1aL is pleased to present the latest in the series.

And while every BA.SE. mix is arranged and recorded in Doug Singer’s loft studio in Brooklyn, Williamsburg’s old Miller-Grand Ballroom, there is a unique story behind each SEssion…

BA.SE.x4 originated as a gift for Beyond Booking’s ultra-fab Kiss & Tell holiday swap (many thanks to Seze Devres for the inspiration!).

BA.SE.X5 is almost entirely the result of a vinyl-buying frenzy at famed Manhattan record store, Rebel Rebel, with a few choice cuts supplied by Dope Jams of Brooklyn.

Artists in this 2 hour compliation include Redshape, Basic Soul Unit, Kyle Hall, Richie Hawtin, Ron Hardy, Hallucinator, Steve Poindexter, Pan Pot & Traversable Wormhole, among others.
