Download Fridayland Part1.mp3 Right click and save (Windows) Command Click and save (MAC) Before I go out to work each time....I give thanks....and hand it all over to Love. Love pulls my records....and reads the night. I also Like to do a little musical meditation....Meaning that I will stop with dance music...and listen to something, usually classical. A short piece like a Rag Slow Drag. (*the Labeque Sisters) or one of my favorite Ravel or Lizst piano pieces....(*Pavane for a Dead Princess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bocyCWh1rBw or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PQ-H1PjrWQ&feature=relmfu or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIPrdg2_xNg&feature=related or something Like them.....Something to clear my head and slow down my breathing....to suspend time briefly away from what is about to happen in the club. It gives me “Center”. Then....I try...to just pick out a first song....and let the night develop from there. Granted most times....I walk in and the computer program is playing some dreadful Grunge or 1990’s Techno....which I try to blend out with a breakdown. Then it’s everybody for themselves. You get what you get depending on how I read my crowds. This night....the “crowd”...even the Early crowd....(*which was a Herbicidal Virgin crowd. Which I overheard talking as I was setting up...”oh that’s Herbie James....he’s Suppose to be good.”)...(*sly) So...I found my break to break In...and set out to “Train” them....again. Herbicidal Addicts. Club seems to be getting a new cross-over metro crowd since like I’ve said before....We Do serve up one of the hottest Big little parties that happen on the drive each week. You’ll see when you get there. Listening back though to the set....I see that the night was a bit about big synths...but you know they’ve been asking to get beat lately. (*and the Room has been sounding Much more....Thick....since we put the Rane in.) So, I Let ‘em ‘ave IT. By the first few songs...which by the way I apologize for, as I cut off about the first 20 mins....but, Hey....More reason you have to BE there soon. For a few Herbicidal Anthems....a few new hotties....I hook them...sexy Groove them....play ‘em things you May not hear anywhere else....they say. On Friday’s, I usually have critical mass by midnight and they stay till lights up late, which here, happens around about fifteen minutes from the end of part Four. So, get ‘em, and put ‘em on the player....the disclavier whatever.....light a candle....dress for a sexxxy night out....(*or an underwear party.)...and crank up the Big knob to high....hoist a tall one....and get there when you can for the real thing. (deep breath before the plunge.) Till then....Keep your heads to the sky. Call your mom. Support your Local DJ’s. Stop and Breathe. Be nice. Yabba Dabba Do. Hope to see you all on a floor near you soon. Love all around Herbie http://www.herbiejames.com http://www.gayinternetradiolive.com

play/download drummer2.mp3 Windows - right click and save to download MAC - command click and save to download Hello my little beat bunnies. One of my Fave One Hit Wonders was the delicious porn star actress / disco debutant....Andrea True Connection “More, More, More”. It was a bit sleazy, but it captures the essence of what seems to be the mantra of many of our lives in the club scene. More (fill in the blank) Please. Well I Said it was one of MY faves. And I have met a few of you that even if you don’t know the song....you know the words. “More, More, More....How do you like IT, how do you Like it.” (*I’m jus’ sayin’) Music over the years changes in style, tempo and beats. The production values have gone out of the roof, and vary to taste. I love a LOT of different types of musics. I like it All. I want You to hear it all. (*you Better get busy ‘cause I’m telling you it’s a full time job.) I’d Like it if you could hear All my sets....and how I work them beginning to end every time I hit the corner booth....but, alas....you have your “More” list to take care of too. So, I’m only able to Give you a “Taste” of what is just a slice of the pie that is the program of the night as it progresses. These sets here are from two different Peak Night sets. I also realize that listening on headphones in the gym or in the car is a Far cry from what it actually sounds like in the club....when you have a room Full of ambient crowd noise and conversations going on around you. And after you’ve had a few choice cocktailed combinations and are UP for IT. So, all I can offer is an invitation to come Out and Get There yourself to “Feel” the entire Trip. I promise it doesn’t hurt ….too bad. Again, More, Now, Harder, Faster, Slower, Longer, Tighter, MORE. (*sly). Whew.....These two nights....one was from the ‘Drummer” party I played a few weeks ago. The second is from the last “Mandance” that happens every 3rd Friday of each month. They are both peak night, crazy screaming at me crowds of “Havin’ It” peoples....Just the way I Likes ‘em. So, hoist one, Crank up the Big knob to High....and shake it like no one is watching. There’s some fantastic new songs out, I hope you find one or two here to sweat you through the summer. Keep your heads to the sky. Eat your veggies. Call your moms. Spread some house love and get yourself out to the club for the Real Thing. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL Djs. It’s a great life.....Live it large. Love all around Herbie (*your friendly neighborhood taste maker) http://www.herbiejames.com http://www.gayinternetradiolive.com

Truly a gift horse. This parTicular set....is the second of the four sets that made up the last 3rd Friday of the Month MANDANCE. (*Not, to be missed) The crowd on this one....was just up for it. I just wish I had an open mic that could capture the “Live” vibe of the night. Hot. This set is a little more on the Vocal tip than I might tend to play....but you know I Love It ALL. There are even a couple of “Requests” spattered in it. But, since I love to Play It All....and try to Mixxx it Up.....Here’s a different side of the Herbicidal.

play/download Dog Dayz2.mp3right click and save (Windows)command click and save (Mac) Yep....summer’s here in south Florida. Already....and it’s just April. I love the heat of it all. It brings down loads of tourists....and We get to show ‘em how We DO IT in the Big city....so to speak. Course, I’m spoiled...I get some of the best of them.....the ones who can “Hang” with the best. The ways in that We serve them. The Best Sexy crowds....the Best cocktails (*not metered)...and of course...the Best Musics. Blend all that together...and you’ve got a Vibe that’s as thick as the midnight blue. These two podcasts, delivered here....represent Such a Night. (*play Dr. John’s “Such A Night” here.) This crowd came together out of such a midnight blue ….Not your “Usual” suspects I’d say. Very vocal too....Lots of hands in the air screaming during breakdowns and that. Just the way I like ‘em. So, since most of you couldn’t be there....(*and you Wish you were.) Here’s a coupla sets to wet your whistle. Just listen how I was Talking to them....subliminally. Part Two...starts in at around 11:30ish....and Part Four starts at around 2:15ish.....to the end of the night. To a packed house!! Much like we DO IT (*Live) Every Friday night. Yes, the music changes..and part Four was on a little more “Alternative” tip than usual...but they were Taking it like pros...and since I had it...They got it!! And, the Epic Funk kept chugging them right along....holding it’s power on them till the lights come up. Ok, the ending of this night may seem a little abrupt, knowing that I usually like to “Come Down” a bit slower....but they just kept yelling for more, and just didn’t want to leave. There was Def something magical in the air. Keep in mind...that you will need to turn up the volume....and maybe pour a Stiff one to try to catch the Love. As this was some great peak night hotness. You know how I live to Mix It UP. I hope you Get Me. Just a reminder. This coming Friday night....being the 3rd Friday night of the month....Which BTW we Do Every 3rd Friday.....IS Mandance!! When they move walls and turn the bar into a dance club. For the bunnies among you. So, Please....If you are nearby....and out doin’ tha DO....(*sly). Stop in the Ramrod for a Herbicidal Shakedown. Become part of My Family. Looking forward to Having You there.Love all aroundHerbie http://www.herbiejames.com http://www.gayinternetradiolive.com

play/download Come Up Classics 1.mp3right click and save (Windows)Command Click and save MAC Happy 2011 My little Beat bunnies, I certainly am holding up my end....what with all the madnesses that made up the party end of the year.....O...MG....Becky. I ended up having to spin Christmas Eve....AND New Years Eve.I’m not complaining...as they were Both some of the best nights Ever in the club. Crowds that were Ready, and Willing, to GO there. They had Me going for sure. Raising their glasses and their voices. Must‘ve been the music. And, they Seemed to have “Started” earlier this year....not waiting to come late....but by 11pm....there was crowd mass. Now....on That note....you Know, how I love to ‘Come UP”. Well....I enjoyed the end of the year So much....and 2011 already beginning with a “Bang”....I thought that I’d start this years podcasts....with a little “Taste” of how we “Began.’ Here’s TWO....”Come Up” sets actually....from Two different, Consecutive nights. So you can see how two nights....back to back....turn out just a bit different...according to how the crowd fills the room. The 2nd night filling faster....it got harder quicker.....boing. Don’t get me wrong....I love Love LOVE Peak night....when it’s shoulder to well....shoulder....and they are hollerin’ and carrying on....like they Do. But, early night....when there are only a few “Fans” in the room....gives me a chance to get My groove On....before I have to Push them. So, here’s a taste....of two Different nights....and how they came UP. Stay tuned....and keep your panties on....cause next time....I’m thinking I’ll give you Two “Peak” night sets....different nights as well.....to contrast how They work the same....but different.Same bag of music as always....it just keeps coming and coming out …..different....but at the same time.....Herbicidal. Hope these give you a look into the DJ mind of Herbie James....as this Def gives you a look see into my “Bin of Fierceness.”...as it stands to Date. So, grab the cocktail that you missed since you obviously can’t always BE there week to week.....Turn up the Volume on your home surround sound.....powder your um....”Floor”....and shake a tail feather with me. Share the house love....and I hope that I get to hang with All of you sometime soon in 2011. Keep your heads to the sky....it’s the only way.

 Abundant Manly Dancing | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

download mandancingabundantly.mp3right click and save (Windows)Command Click and save (MAC) Abundant Manly Dancing....Ok...they just call it Mandance. A bit too mundane for my taste as I like to take things a bit more over the edge...(*sly)...and I’m Still trying to get them to put a Bear “Furry” on the street with one of those big Arrow signs pointing to the bar for the night....but noooo. I mean really...how fun would That be. Alas...it Still happens...every third Friday of the month....this fanTastic big Little party they call Mandance. It happens at the Ramrod in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. And it Does go Off too. No, it can’t compare to the big clubs...as it’s a small room....with a big heart...and a Lot ,a LOT, of Soul.You can’t buy this vibe....it creates itself. The people have to bring it with them to share. You have to leave the house with it. Bring enough to spill some they say. And they do....sometimes all over the place...but that’s the Ram for ya. They serve it UP. Just the way I like it. Here, I’m giving up just a taste of this Past month’s Mandance....during what was just about peak night. This is some of my fave Big Progressive Vocal tracks of the moment. Loving this sound right now. Hope you will too. So....until I get to “Feel” you in the room the next time....and you Really Do Need to come “Feel” this for yourself....because it Never sounds the same from an mp3 Copy....as it does when you are There....BEing there....with a few cocktails and all that sexiness rubbing up against you....but go ahead....Turn it UP....Turn up the Bass....Put on your Sunday going to church shoes and bust a rug....(*snicker).....Here is Just a taste of what they got last time. Hope you are all having a Great holiday season....and I Hope that you take all that thankfulness and love with you over the New Year’s Eve...and throughout the new year. Keep your head to the sky...and share some house love with family and friends alike. Teach one, and send one to teach. And all those other down home sayings that your mom taught you when you were seeing this world through your eyes as a child. Don’t live in fear just because someone tells you that you might get hurt. Be part of the solution and not the problem....I could go on...(w). When you R in my room....always feel free to stop by and say hi.

I AM a delicious, and local, South Florida DJ du jour....and I hold Fabulous court every week. I stand before you, accused, of dancing to my own drummer. I beat out beats like no other. My tune choices sometimes cross lines not crossed before. Sometimes it’s music to open a room, but Sometimes, it’s music to change lives. I open eyes and I open minds. Sounds big. But, I hear things. I know things. I feel things....differently. I Believe. I have Faith. I preach and I teach. I have something to say. What you ask. In What you ask. Of what. Well, I’d say all you have to do is listen to my tune choices....as I was so aptly pointed out to this during this past week. Because I am always talking to you.....in song. Every song may not even have a lyric....that’s not the point. Let the Spirit of the lyric carry you until the next one. I AM first a dancer. Yes, it’s been some years, and the steps have changed. But the 4/4 remains the same, well sorta. I also have always liked to push the limits of what might be “Expected.” I love “Songs with Lyrics.” They tell a story of love and of being loved. The beats that connect them however can range from your typical drum sounds of bass, snare, hi-hats etal....to 4/4 beats created of sounds Made by Sounds. Techno. I Love Techno. I Love Technology. To me....Techno creates waves of beats. I begin dancing in Phrases instead of just beats. Phrases of waves of beats. They wash over me in sexxxtions of two, four, and even eight beat sections. I like to pick out noises to dance to....noises become the ONE....the downbeat. They become the beginning of where I hang on to the beat. My step, and feel, is still on the 1,2,3,4....but I hang, bend, sway and lean on the phrase. I wait for it. I anticipate the One. And that’s when the hands meet the air. But all you dancers out there know this without having to think it. All That said....Now to the music for this podcast. Wow. I have over the years been made in-Famous by getting to, and being able to play some pretty outrageous parties and residencies. Very lucky I might add. Recently, I have this Fab little Big gig here in Fort Lauderdale at a very sexy little Big back room club called Slammers. I’m playing there Because of what I like to play. The owners there tell me they want less vocals...infact....No Divas at all. Don’t get me wrong...I still give them vocals....now and again...but mostly the Sexy ones. (sly) So for this Herbicidal installment, it is with My Pleasure....that I give to You...just a taste.....of the sexual flavor, that I love to bring to that room. It’s Hotness squared into a wicked maze of rooms and stairs and closets, with great flow, great sound, great sensual lighting ....great staff....and ME. Serving it Up....on a techno and progressive flava. OK....go grab hold of your favorite cocktail...Hoist it high and in my general direction....Turn UP the volume and crank this set into your senses....and take the ride on My wild side. I should hope that All your big room parties should be This sexy. (ps...I Need A Dancefloor!!) Keep your heads to the sky....Don’t live in fear....and Love like it’s your first time to Be loved. Love all aroundHerbie http://www.herbiejames.com http://www.gayinternetradiolive.com P.S. I know, I know....Now somebody’s going to start up on me that “Oh, all he plays is Techno.” NOT. Let’s get this straight once and for all time. I play the Room.....The Party at hand. It’s All in the bag and how it comes Out of it at that moment. (Just take Any of the other podcasts as evidence.) End of That story. Thank you Very much.(MushyMuah) P.P.S. On That note....stay tuned as I have a very recent and gorgeous deep house set ready to post very soon.
