Retro House Mixtape
by retrohousemixtape
‘Retro House Mixtape’ is exactly that; an online mixtape of house music picked from the dusty corners of my record collection. The plan is to pick out the kind of house tunes that you don’t hear so much of these days. That said, the occasional big tune or cheeky bootleg does sneak in from time to time. Mixed by Bournemouth based House DJ ‘Munkeycop’ (aka Paul), a DJ with 20+ years of experience performing in bars and clubs across the South West of England. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 136 - That London Sound
For this episode I felt like going with a theme, so I dipped into a folder of tunes simply called "That London Sound". It's a collection of tracks that takes me back to the late 90's. Around '97 when the likes of Jeremy Sylvester (under various guises), RIP and Nu-Birth (again, under various...
-
Episode 135 - Move Your Body
I didn't know where to start with this episode so I ended up just closing my eyes and flicking through my selection of tunes. I decided that whatever I landed on was what I would start with. As luck would have it, the fates chose a solid tribal-drum banger from Eric Kupper. What a fantastic place...
-
Episode 134 - Boogie Ryda
And we're back with another multi-genre mix of old house music. It was a close shave this one, all very last minute and at the time of recording I didn't think it was going to be worth sharing. Fortunately a re-listen the following day with fresh ears confirmed that it was another good-to-go mix....
-
Episode 133 - Rhythm is a Mystery
"Rhythm is a Mystery" and other five star choice cuts of house music in this episode of Retro House Mixtape. I don't know if you know this... but it has been a bit hot lately. Like, REALLY hot. So hot in fact that I almost couldn't get this episode recorded. The "studio" where I record these...
-
Episode 132 - Out of Control
Hello there! It's another 60 minute mix of lovely old house music from the 90's and early 2000's. I really enjoyed putting this episode together. There are some long transitions in the first half of the mix where the tracks just kind of melt into each other (that being said, the mix into 'Out of...
-
Episode 131 - Hell Yeah!
After the Trance shenanigans of the previous episode we are back into the normal Retro House antics for this mixtape. Starting with a garage-esque groove before slipping into some funky house tracks. We then slide into some disco-led house jams and end up in ravey territory. Full track list is…

Episode 130 - Out Of The Blue (Retro Trance Mixtape 2)
Way back in 2021 I did a one-off Trance episode of Retro House Mixtape, imaginatively called "Retro Trance Mixtape". Surprisingly it was a very popular episode, pulling in really good numbers alongside all the normal house music episodes. Since bringing the show back online earlier this year I'd...
-
Episode 129 - Tripping On Sunshine
We are indeed Tripping on Sunshine for this episode. Seeing as we are going through a belter of a heatwave here in the UK, I thought I would put together a sunshine themed mix. Every main track in this mix references the sun in some way or another (not so much the accapellas, maybe think of those...
-
Episode 128 - U Sure Do
Yeah I missed putting out an episode last week. Sorry about that. Hopefully this banger of an episode makes up for it. I've gone for a lower tempo for this episode. starting at around the 120bpm range where things have little more of a disco feel to them. There's a favourite tune of mine early in...
-
Episode 127 - Weak Become Heroes
60 minutes of lovely funky house vibes for this episode. As we slide into the warmer weather for 2026 I decide to dip into some funkier flavours for episode 127. I felt compelled to drop in a stellar Ashley Beedle remix having seen him on Instagram talking about the making of ‘Lazy’. So good to…

Episode 126 - Want Love
What I love about doing this show is digging out tracks that I never realised I had. Case in point is the first tune in this set, a remix of Hysteric Ego's "Want Love". I remember buying this release back in 1998 and being drawn to the speed garage style remix by The Sol Brothers. I never really...
-
Episode 125 - What You Want
It's a 90's tune fest in this episode of Retro House Mixtape. Everything here is from that sweet spot between '96 and '99. There's chunky bass-led garagey rhythms, stompy disco house and some outright all-timer anthems going on in this mix. Find the full tracklist on retrohousemixtape.com Hosted…

Episode 124 - Good Life
From top to bottom, there's some lovely old 90's house tunes going on in this episode Starting with the all-time classic "Good Life" by Inner City, remixed by Nu-Birth giving it that late 90's London-garage flava. Loving the final tune as well, super-producer Stonebridge with a disco-tinged…

Episode 123 - Music : Response
Once again we venture into a mix of lovely old house music. I tend to do a little bit of planning ahead when it comes to making these episodes. I like to have some kind of a theme or direction in place before I make a start. For this episode however it was a case of "sod it, let's just bung...
-
Episode 122 - As We Step
Join us as we step into another bout of house music. Fun little story about the opening track “Bad Things” by Njoi. I bought this back when it came out in 1995 but for some reason I sold it as part of a big clear out prior to moving to Bournemouth in 1999. Fast forward to a year ago, this track...
-
Episode 121 - Loops of Life
After the love-fest from the previous episode we are back down to clubby business for episode 121 of Retro House Mixtape. Starting off with an acappella combo that I recently discovered by chance, it's a sublime mix between the work of King Unique and the vocal from "Someday" by CeCe Rogers. It's…
more -
Episode 120 - The Word is Love
Seeing as this episode releases over Valentine's weekend I thought I would put together a "love themed" episode. Every track in this 60-minute mix references LOVE in some way or another. It unexpectedly ended up being a mix that works through various flavours of house. We start in the early 90's...
-
Episode 119 - Bring It On Down
I felt like dipping into more disco-tinged territory for this mixtape after the trance and stompin' house shenanigans of the previous episode. For this mixtape we kick things off with a disco-dub remix by the legendary François Kevorkian. At the same time I also have a bit of fun by playing…

Episode 118 - Back Once Again
Well hello there. It truly has been a while hasn't it? So yeah, I've been away doing a thing with making music (something I've been mucking about with since the late 90's) and that's been a bit of fun. But over the last few months I've had the itch to record a new mixtape and come back to this...
-
Episode 117 - A Random Surprise Mix
Hello there. How have you been? It's been a while hasn't it? I haven't dropped a new episode of Retro House Mixtape since before Christmas 2021. I've been on a bit of a break (and I kinda still am) but I had some time to throw a mix together this week so I figured "why not?". Get stuck in to some...
-
Episode 116 - The Third (and final) Speed Garage Mixtape
Boom! Out of the blue it's another episode of Retro House Mixtape and this week it's another 'Speed Garage' set. It's probably the last Speed Garage mixtape as I've pretty much burned through all the stand out SG tracks in my collection. Don't forget to check my blog for the full track listing -...
-
Episode 115 - Retro House Bangers
Oi Oi! Sorry it's been a while since the last episode but I've now got a new mix all ready to go. It's a set of tidy bangers, kicking off with some funky, garagey vibes before sliding into something a bit more driving and heavy. Hope you like it! Find me on Twitter via @retrohousemix or Instagram...
-
Episode 114 - Fatboy Slim 25th Anniversary Mix
It's been 25 years this week since Norman Cook put out the Fatboy Slim debut album 'Better Living Through Chemistry'. I thought it would be interesting to put together a mix based on the tracks from the album. Not just a normal mix though, I've been diving into the tracks themselves to pull out...
-
Episode 113 - Right Here, Right Now
I'm totally switching things up for this episode of Retro House Mixtape as we ditch the retro and dive into a mix of upfront house tunes. This is a mix of three parts as we journey from the bar, to the club and then end up with our hands in the air at the festival. Hosted on Acast. See...
-
Episode 112 - Bank Holiday House Party
I'm tapping into a funkier vein of House Music for this episode. Things kick off with a new release from Dave Lee and Horse Meat Disco. I'm very much breaking my own 'Retro House' rules here but this is a classy, timeless sounding tune and I couldn't resist. I also managed to finish with a…

Episode 111 - Bournemouth Summer Jam
Seeing as it's August it felt like a good time to throw together some summer-tinged house tunes. Fitting in with the summer theme, it's worth noting the background image used in the cover artwork. It's a photo I took of lovely Bournemouth beach, just a stone's throw away from where I live...
-
Episode 110 - Retro TRANCE Mixtape
It's time to switch things up on Retro House Mixtape with a new episode based round late 90's/early 2000's Trance bangers. Check it out for some hugely euphoric screamers that will undoubtedly lift your spirits. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

-
Episode 107 - The Whisky Session
I initially didn't feel like putting a mix together this week but after sinking a few whiskey's and jumping on the decks the tunes soon started flowing. In the end I'm pretty happy with the results. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Episode 106 - Early 90's Mixtape
I felt like throwing together an early 90’s set this week. The original plan was that it would be a set of early 90’s funky U.S. Garage but things kinda got away from me. Along the way things morphed into a bit of a rave vibe (playing Energy Flash right at the end was a particular joy). I’m...
-
Episode 105 - One From The Archive
I almost bailed on recording an episode this week as I was a bit under the weather but at the last minute I stumbled across an old archive of mixes and dug this out from April 2010. There's some good stuff in here that I totally forgot about. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...
-
Episode 104 - Ten Years Earlier
For this episode of Retro House Mixtape we take a trip back to approximately ten years ago, roughly around the 2009/2010 mark. Around this time house music was going through a bit of an electronica phase and that's what this mixtape is packed full of. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for…

Episode 103 - Good Vibrations House Mix
With the Easter weekend done and dusted it felt like a good time to throw together a few tunes with a summer kinda vibe to them. Warmer days are coming and soon we'll be able to go outside and actually see friends face to face. When you do, make sure to stick this mixtape on as you soak up the...

Episode 102 - Good Friday House Vibes

Episode 101 - Back From A Break
Aaaaaaaand we're back. After a few months off it's time for some new episodes of Retro House Mixtape. I'm kinda rebooting things a little bit. Previously I've avoided playing tracks more than once but after 100 episodes I think it's time to relax that rule a little bit and break out some tunes…

-
Episode 98 - Back to '98 Mix
As per the last few episodes we move another year further into the 90's and it's a mix of two halves which very much reflects my record buying habits of 1998. It was mostly either funky/disco house or more trancey based fare. There are some cracking retro house tunes in this set. Hosted on Acast....
-
Episode 97 - Back to '97 Mix
1997 was a huge year for House Music. Big tunes were dominating the dance floors before dominating the airwaves on radio and tv. This episode is a mix of huge tunes and some lesser known bangers from 1997. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

-
Episode 95 - Back to '95 Mix
It's another trip back to the 90's as we head into the mid-decade decadence of 1995. The year when I started DJing on the regular in various bars and clubs in the town where I grew up. It was certainly an exciting year for the 17-year-old me. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...
-
Episode 94 - Back to '94 Mix
It's a bit of a personal journey in this week's episode of Retro House Mixtape as we head back to 1994 and when I bought my very first set of turntables, Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

-
Episode 91
I had an idea for a themed episode but I just couldn't make it work. This episode has ended up being one of those 'last minute' ventures as a result. I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out either way. Full track listing on my blog - retrohousemixtape.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...

Episode 90 - The Basement Jaxx Mixx

Episode 88 - The Breakbeat Mixtape
It's a very different episode this week thanks to an old Instagram post from last year. I posted about a compilation that I had picked up called 'House Breaks Sessions' and I commented on doing a Breakbeat Mixtape at some point. A friend of mine, James from The Freefall Collective, promptly lent…
