Welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show! It's been a while since we've heard from this month's artist, but finally, the Lockstar's long lost cousin-Shotgun Shirley returns to deliver a cracking mix. She assured me that she hasn't been living under a rock, just surveying the music scene, and keeping busy in the studio working on new tunes. Whatever she's been doing, she hasn't lost her touch. This mix is a mixture of Melodic, Organic and Progressive House that just keeps chugging along, surprising you until the very end. We're glad to have you back, Ms. Shirley. It's been far too long. As always, if you enjoy what you're hearing, like, comment and share!

We lost West Coast House Music legend-DJ Dan on 03/28/26. Back when Jon started getting into the Electronic music scene, DJ Dan was playing music with feel-good vocals, catchy hooks, and recognizable samples. In additoin, he was mixing in funky breaks, tech house, disco and funk with long, seamless blends that kept the energy high. Jon would be heavily influenced by this style that you can still hear in his mixes today. For this month's podcast, Jon wanted to bring you one of his favorite mixes from DJ Dan. his BEATS4FREAKS mix from 1998. Jon was able to find all of the songs DJ Dan used, and has put his spin on the mix for you. It contains so many classic tracks from the time, so if you have never heard the mix, we are sure you will enjoy it. Let's take a trip down memory lane and pay our respects to a true legend-DJ Dan.

Welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show! We've got another special mix for you this month. The Lockstar was in Jacksonville this past weekend headlining the Back 2 The Basics #61 show at the ShantyTown Pub for RedDiamond Promotions and we have the mix for you. Jon laid down some of his signature House, Tech House, and Funky House for the folks and definitely took it "back to the basics." He threw a lot of his own Original tunes in there, as well, and one new tune "House Call" that is on Preorder at Beatport right now. We want to thank DJ Red and Diamond for having Jon up again, and we can't wait for the next one!

Happy New Year, and welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show featuring the best tracks in electronic music mixed by the one and only, DJ Jon Lockley. As AI is starting to gain more and more power, the Lockstar thought it would be cool to see how well AI knows the style of DJ Jon Lockley. Jon went to ChatGPT and put in the prompt, "Give me a list of 16 Progressive House tracks DJ Jon Lockley would play in a one hour set. Make sure the next song in the set matches with the track before it on the harmonic scale." Surprisingly, ChatGPT provided songs that pretty much match the style of Progressive House Jon plays. However, ChatGPT did not do so well on the keys of the songs, so Jon had to get those dialed in. I have to say, the mix is good and it sounds very much like a set Jon would play. Ultimately, you can judge for yourself. Let us know in the comments of how well you think AI did in picking the songs for Jon. As always, enjoy the journey and if you like what you're hearing, like, comment, and share!

Welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show feat. DJ Jon Lockley. Jon brings us another special episode this month which showcases some artists from Chicago Skyline Records run by Rich Martinez. The Lockstar figured since he had a tune "Get Down Again" released on CSR earlier this year and has "Out To You" coming out soon, he'd drop a mix featuring tracks from the label. The mix includes Jon's two tracks and he's even thrown in an update of his "In Chicago" track released way back in 2012. It's a wonderful mix that gives you that Chicago House music vibe.

Welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show with your host-DJ Jon Lockley. Last month, Jon decided to bring us a mix of something he had never made before-Drum and Bass. Well, I think he's caught the DnB bug because he's brought us a part II to last month's mix. I'm guessing he had so many tracks that he wanted to share, it just took more than one mix to fit them all in. Hey! We ain't complainin'. And he's included a BRKN DWN DnB track that he whipped up recently. So, buckle up. It's 61 more minutes of the get down with the get down.

Welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show with your host with the most-DJ Jon Lockley. The ole randomizer wheel did so well choosing last month's genre, that the Lockstar decided to give it another spin. This time around, she stopped on Drum and Bass. Now this is a first for Jon as he has never made a Drum and Bass mix before. Oh yes, back in the day he dabbled around with the Drum and Bass on vinyl, but he never even attempted to make a full on mix of it. So, here we go folks. It's the Lockstar's debut mix of some jump up, filthy, nasty beats and bass that will have you needing to take a seat when it's done.. The whole mix is mint, but the first 30 minutes is on another level. As always, if you dig what you're hearing, like, comment, and share with your friends.

Welcome back to another episode of the Best Kept Secret podcast show with your favorite DJ, Jon Lockley. Jon put a post up on his Facebook page recently asking what the people wanted to hear, got their suggestions, and spun the randomizer wheel. It must be fate, considering Jon resides in the "O-Town," as it landed on Florida Breaks. If you don't know what Florida Breaks are, then you might be too young or hate history. Either way, let's break it down for you.  Florida Breaks is funky but futuristic, and dirty but danceable. It was a staple in Florida club scenes, warehouse parties, and raves, especially from the late ‘90s to mid-2000s. Picture neon lights, palm trees, and sweaty dancefloors filled with breakdancing and bass-hungry ravers. The Lockstar has rummaged through his old vinyl, searched the internet far and wide, and found some of the absolute staple tracks from back in the day. Some of these tracks are 25-30 years old, but could still rock a dancefloor today. It includes tracks from some of the pioneers like Tony Faline, DJ Icey, Infiniti, Rick West, DJ Sharaz and more. Get ready for some Miami bass, some funky drummin', some scratchin', and melodic hooks that bring back that nostalgic feel. As always, if you like what you're hearing, like, comment and share. Enjoy the journey! Oh, there's one special bonus track at the end.Tracklist:1.       Jackal & Hyde-Freaks Come Out at Night(Night of the Living Bassheads Mix)2.       Infiniti-Running Away3.       Sugarwood-Break @ Dawn4.       DJ Volume & DJ Sharaz-Get Loose(DJ Sharaz Mix)5.       Tony Faline-Break Down6.       DJ Fixx-Don’t Stop7.       DJ Fixx-Rock That Beat8.       The All Star Breakers-Break to the Bass9.       DJ Icey-Talk To ‘Em10.   Brad Smith-Let The Beat Hit “Em11.   Mike & Charlie-I Get Live(Dave London Mix)12.   Kosheen-Catch(Brad Smith Mix)13.   Paul Van Dyk-We Are Alive(DJ Icey’s Arctic Bass Mix)14.   Electronic Love(Freestyle Project Mix)15.   West Coast Prost!-Beer Barrel Polka(Roll Out the Barrel)

Hey! We've reached episode 80, and Jon was recently asked to DJ an 80s party, so he decided to do something special, go back to the stuff he grew up on in the 80s. Yep, that Old School Rap/Hip Hop.

This mix is perfect for the old school heads out there ane even the new folks who need an education in real Hip Hop. The mix includes tracks by Ice T, Fat Boys, Biz Markie, Kid N Play Doug E Fresh, Heavy D & The Boys, Special Ed, Eric B & Rakim, X-Clan, Run-Dmc, 3rd Bass, EPMD, BDP w/KRS-ONE, UTFO, Marley Marl, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.
