   happy sound c-60: campo disco & dubs

   I’m only going to one festival this summer: the lovely Campo Sancho by the team behind Sancho Panza. It’s a couple of weeks away and excitement is building so I blended this little session of daytime disco grooves for the drive down / packing / chilling at camp / general good times. Enjoy! Happy...

   jefferson jam: azouricious house and disco

   Here’s bunch of tunes I purchased on Beatport and then mixed immediately last night. A friend, Eva, sent me a clip of Funky Green Dogs’ classic ‘Reach For Me’ via WhatsApp. I went to play it only realised I didn’t have it... So, off to Beatport, where, of course, I was distracted by new releases...

   Pete's old no 1 tapes

   Pete gave me a handful of old tapes from circa 1991 when our gang used to frequent The No 1 Club in Manchester. Sadly I missed out on those No 1 days, arriving in Manc just after, but I still have lots of the tunes. My task was to recreate these hissy, crappy tapes for our friend Lisa's 50th...

   yashima ufo i - fiji session 1

   It seems that even six months off work doesn’t give me enough of a window to fill the gaping abyss left by mixes waiting to be sorted. Enough gap-filling, time for something contemporary. This update is built solely from 2015 tunes, mostly from August / September, and so predominantly tracks I’ve...

   unbespielt C170: finishing off basanov

   In June 2015, Lithuanian DJ/producer, Marijus Adomaitis, AKA Ten Walls or Mario Basanov, published a particularly vile Facebook post about gay people. Whilst I believe everyone has the right to free speech, this was a pre-determined concrete view that rubs against the origins of club culture, a...

   (Posted November 2013) Here’s a little early xmas present for you. I turned 40 this year and in the summer we partied like it was my 21st.

I have over 20 playlists of tunes ready to be mixed, but the weight of the task led to a sort of paralysis... I get a bunch of tunes ready but never...

    Bit of an odd one this. I’m uploading it in Dec 2013. It seems it’s been hanging out in my iTunes library awaiting upload, forgotten but hopefully not unwanted. Was there a reason I chose not to post it? Maybe there’s some really dodgy mixing in there... who knows. Here it is anyway. Enjoy! Deep...

She texted me one evening just before Christmas saying she was listening to Blisstech Glisten and it was pushing her buttons, so I pulled together a playlist of similar vibes in her honour.

    perfect motion: roach motel and fire island

    I had a week off recently and whilst digging around for tunes online I rediscovered a chunk of early remixes by Terry Farley and Pete Heller of Junior Boys Own fame. In the early 90s I was a big fan of their work under the Fire Island and Roach Motel monicas. This session pulls together some of…
