Good People Better Rise Up! The Melodic Electronic Podcast

Good People Better Rise Up! is a podcast from Alex Whalen, a 30+ year veteran of the dance music industry. Each week, Alex selects one mix from his four melodic electronic livestreams to post along with occasional live sets from out on the road and mixes from his archives. The genres will vary from week to week, but as always it will be the absolute best the melodic electronic super-genre has to offer.

    Melodic Electronic #29: MK2AM Co-Founders Alex Whalen & Micke B2B

    This week's livestream highlight is a 5+ hour B2B set I did with Micke while he was out here in Colorado on some MK2AM business. If you like big room melodic house and progressive like we used to do, you're going to LOVE this set. And why part two? Because when you include the downtempo I played before and after, the full stream was well over 9 hours. BEASTMODE.

    Melodic Electronic Tuesday #28

    The week isn't over yet, but I'm already going to call it, because this right here is one of the best progressive sets I've played in a long LONG time. Starts with breaks, moves into big room four:four, returns to breaks, and ends with downtempo. 3 full hours. Tracklisting available on my Mixcloud page as always.

    Melodic Electronic Tuesday #23 (Melodic House & Techno)

    A short week of streaming as I head back out to LA for the Bootycorn monthly, and I've chosen my first post-concussion melodic electronic show to share with you this time around.  My head was feeling well enough to play, but only barely, so the vibe of this one is much more smooth than what I usually do when I play big.

    Sunset Session #24 (Downtempo)

    Had to unexpectedly take a few weeks off due to a pretty fantastic crash while skiing at Steamboat Springs with some friends. This mix represents my first take at exiting concussion protocol, which explains why it's so bottom-of-the-ocean chill.

    Melodic Electronic Tuesdays with Alex Whalen #19

    This week's Best of the Stream comes from my Melodic Electronic Tuesdays livestream, where this week I played a nothing but my favorite tracks from 2022. This was originally broadcast live on both Twitch and Mixcloud, but since I know some of y'all prefer your mixes without voiceovers, the one you're getting here is entirely talk free.     Want the full track listing? Head on over to Mixcloud and you'll find what you need.

  8. Big Up Bootycorns #19 (Best of the Stream)

    Big Up Bootycorns #19 (Best of the Stream)

    The podcast! It's back! From here on out, I'll be using the pod to highlight one of the sets from my livestreams on Twitch (@DJAlexWhalen) and Mixcloud (@AlexWhalen). Right now I'm playing four or more times each week, with each set featuring a different style of melodic electronic. Although the complete archive for all these shows can be found on both SoundCloud and Mixcloud, those recordings include voiceovers and audience interaction, which some people REALLY don't want to hear overtop of their DJ sets. And that's why this pod now re-exists: to give those people someplace they can still get my mixes without any talking whatsoever! Tuesdays feature a two-hour downtempo set and a three+ hour big room melodic electronic session, with the length of the set varying depending on whether I have a guest and/or am doing some kind of showcase. Thursdays see me doing a two-hour liquid funk & fast soul (a.k.a. hyper-melodic drum & bass), followed by four hour chunk-a-funk house session with one or more of my brothers from the Bootycorn Sound System. For this week's episode, I've chosen my two hour set from the Bootycorn show. If you haven't heard me play in awhile, you're in for a surprise, as my house music alter ego has come out in full force since joining up with this crew. I won't ever claim to be Sam the Man, but what I do as a Bootycorn, I do partly in his honor, as he was taken from us far too soon.
