Mr. Cook in the House

My little Jazz House curation, handpicked with lots of love. Most tracks come from my producer friends all around the world. World-class sounds from people I know and cherish.

What do you think of it? If you feel like any songs are missing, drop them in the comments – I'd love your suggestions! And let me know: is the playlist length okay, or should it be longer?

I feel that in 2026 we’re seeing more live “dj” sets than ever before. In a time when everyone can become a dj, mixing has become table stakes.

I’m talking about people bringing music making hardware on stage and playing live drum loops, synthesizers and creating electronic music on the fly. Some artists that come to mind are Jeff Mills, DC Salas, Avis Vox.

I wanna know if you have any favorites you’ve seen recently and if you think we’ll see this continue?

Links to live sets on YouTube of your favorites would be appreciated!!

makes me stomp the floor

I've been going down a massive rabbit hole with this regional house scene from Indonesia and finally put together a playlist covering its golden era.

Basically, producers in the Jakarta club scene started taking traditional Dangdut music and colliding it with hard house, disco remixes, and early 90s electronic gear. The genres that came out of it (House Dangdut and early Funkot) are incredibly raw, fast, and heavy on vintage drum machines.

It’s a 20-year archive of the scene, mixing the big regional hits with some really obscure deep cuts from the 90s and 2000s. If you're into global club history or just want to hear a totally different, hyper-energetic spin on 90s house tropes, give it a listen. Curious if anyone else here digs into this stuff.
