Funky house mix, originally laid down as a demo for Hell Bar. At the time, I may have told Selina it was produced especially for her birthday. 68’23” - 78.3 MB - MP3 file - 160kps dj sneak - funky rhythm - border patrol refixx a studio - sos - skylark vocal rasmus faber - divided/united - dub michael grey - the weekend - original bobby blanco - 3am - original area f - akumbe - bobby blanco ooh yeah yeah - sax trip a guy called gerald - voodoo ray - hoxton whores remix scape feat d’empress - be my friend - michael grey remix erik prydz & steve angello - woz not woz - vers 1 beautiful liaisons - yeah yeah mutiny - holdin’ on - eric prydz mix

Not a sitar in sight. This mix is a selection of vocal lounge house tracks from around the time I was playing Buddah Bar on Frith Street in Soho. Lisa had been after a CD featuring Fade for a while, so that’s what we open with...

After Fabian’s bday party at Buddah, I started playing there every Saturday in summer 2004. The owners wanted me to play lounge beach house which became quite dull for me. Anyway, the bar manager, a top bloke called Tom, promoted a lot of club nights so I did him this demo of more banging upfront house stompers. mix for tom @ buddah bar > 2/4/04 black shadow feat krs 1 can you stand the funk laurent wolf feat sonu dee about that beautiful liaisons yeah yeah bini & martini feat su’su bobien say yes beginerz remix 5* clowns give it up del gado coffee beats bobby blanco shelltoe eric prydz slammin’ powers that be planet rock moog ii swing can’t get away full intention remix gus gus david darren emerson remix underworld 7 days off el b get her 102.7MB AAC file 192kbps - 74 mins

Naresh was a founding partner of Karmarama, a creative agency I helped appoint for Emap radio. Naresh is a big music fan and I still see him every year back stage at Glastonbury. He’s into rock more than dance and over a lunch he once told me he didn’t really know much about house music... so, as a thank you for the lunch, I promised to burn him a few CDs. I picked a few mixes from the vault, but laid down this blend of 90s anthems especially. naresh’s retrospective of house > march 04 1. tori amos - professional widow - armand van helden star trunk funkin’ mix (‘96) 2. sex-o-sonique - thought it was you - original (’97) 3. jonny corporate - sunday shouting (2000) 4. frankie knuckles - tears - full intention remix (‘89) 5. pete heller’s big love (’99) 6. cj bollard - sugar is sweeter - armand van helden remix (’96) 7. reel to reel - go on move - original (’94) 8. bassheads - is there anybody out there?

So, Paul and I were inseparable best buddies for through ‘99-’01, so when his lovely partner, Fabian, asked me to dj at his 30th, it was a pleasure. We spent a few nights in Soho in January looking for the perfect venue and decided upon what used to Buddah Bar on Frith Street. The party invite was a 30 minute CD, for which I spent a whole afternoon burning 100 discs. The attached mix is that invite, introduced by Fabian, who recorded his voice over in the Kiss 100 studios. Of course, the night itself (6 March) rocked. I took my old sound system down and we turned the quiet bar into a sweat box. After the party, the owners of the bar made me their Saturday night dj. I kept it up through the summer for the cash, but they wanted me to play more mellow lounge house music, so it got a bit boring. Enjoy the mix. Fabian’s birthday invite.

Uploading these old mixes, I’ve noticed that I always manage to knock out something special every February. Maybe it’s because I’ve fully recovered from the Christmas hangover. Perhaps it’s the Miami WMC on the horizon, so there’s a wad of inspiring new tunes out... Most probably it’s because it’s Selina’s birthday, which I often forget and so have to deliver a decent mix for her - even if it’s late. 80 minutes of funky house tracks from feb ’04, with a few bootlegs and classics from the back of the box for good measure. Pure party fodder. The ‘all over my face’ track was co-produced by a good friend and former work colleague, Jon Shaw, who is sadly no longer with us. I still play the tune out as it’s a great warm-up track, and think of him every time, Lovely, lovely fellow. 79’39” - 110.3 MB - AAC file - 192kbps 01 kaskade feat joslyn it’s you, it’s me original 02 movearo & alan h all over my face version 2 03 full intention forever bootleg vocal 04 the disciples of phunk too far gone original 05 4 star clowns feels so good 06 identity consienta 07 m-gee bodyswerve original instrumental 08 martin solvieg rockin’ music 09 d.e.a. music is my life bootleg 10 robin s show me love original 11 byron stingly get up everybody ‘sting me’ bootleg 12 tim deluxe mundaya 13 junior jack e samba 14 mariah carey dreamlover 24th street bootleg 15 the ks feat robert owens living a life club version 16 lys & gigi your love 2003 love mix 17 scissor sisters comfortably numb fatboy slim remix

This mix is part of a trio of sessions I laid down for a trip to Ibiza in 2003. Selina & Matt, Ben & Lara, Lisa, Malcolm and myself took a villa up in the hills and had a fantastic break. I sorted out a wad of minidiscs for lazy poolside days. From memory, and from reviewing my limited notes, this mix was actually two separate sessions. I initially recorded something in May which I guess I wasn’t very happy with - it may have been one of my late night pissed-up adventures - but liking the first few tracks (particularly the blend into Groove Armada’s My Friend) I decided to pick up the mix from half way through, adding tracks 6 > 13 in August. Both the Aug and May sections lacked any meticulous planning. I just grabbed recent tunes that went with the laid-back mood to get some deep house faves into a mix for the holiday. It works on the whole but I’m sure the last few tracks (esp that Marvin Gaye booty) were probably just filler to use up the minidisc. Enjoy! deep house & balearic beats – mixed may & august 2003 1. sandy rivera – changes – original 2. louie vega feat julie mcknight – diamond life – dance ritual 3. laranjeiras – i want you 4. groove armada – my friend – dorfmeister mix 5. telepopmuzik – breathe – extended mix 6. blue six – do it together – jay’s besoul vocal 7. victor duplais – lookin for love – nature’s plan remix 8. racoon feat christine lucas – come alive – jay j’s jazzy vocal 9. sade – kiss of life – bootleg 10. victor davis – runaway train – wahoo remix 11. q-burns abstract message – innocent – joey negro ambient dub 12. michelle weeks – the light – sandy rivera club mix 13. ‘make love not war’ – sexual healing bootleg 74.7MB | 128kbps | AAC file

Daytime poolside vibes mixed for our trip to Ibiza, 03, with Malcolm, Selina, Matt F, Lisa, Lara, Ben and a few friends of Matt F. Sunshine pop, disco, hip hop and few summer house classics.

Another daytime poolside session for our trip to Ibiza 2003. This time it’s all house tunes, but stacked with girly floorfillers and bootlegs (hence the title). Private Eye is a bootleg of Hall & Oats’ I can’t go for that; the Coloursound tune is lost gem here in it’s original form; G Club’s Guitarra G oozes Ibiza sunshine; and with Balearic faves by A Man Called Adam and Smokebelch towards the end of the mix, you definitely know which island you’re on.

Another one of those sessions mixed with the decks on the floor in the hallway because we were still doing up the flat. Jill had just left the Kentish Town Massive and moved in with Nick, so it was a little house warming gift for them.

Funky house favourites from early ’03. Produced for my bestest buddy, Selina, on her 30th birthday. There’s something about Sel that makes me want to pull out all the stops for her. This time I had to pull out the decks - Matt & I had just moved house and the building work we had done meant it was too dusty for playing vinyl. I set up my decks on the floor in the hallway and pulled out some girly tunes I thought she’d like. Her birthday was a great night clubbing in Brixton. We returned to her & Matty F’s flat (I seem to remember seven of us paying a dodgy cab double fare to squeeze us in??) and danced round their living room to this mix.

Another definitive update mix, full of Bethnal Green summer vibes. I was so pleased with this pair of mixes (check out 19.2 too - slightly tougher), that I ended up burning about 50 copies for friends. This was also a labour of love. The two mixes were put together over a couple of months, grabbing snatches of time here and there. Each track was edited on minidisc, shortened so I could get more on the CDs. This gave me the opportunity to perfect each mix and use the best take. The process of refining, purposefully without computers, meant this project took fucking forever to complete. It was quite a few months before I did another mix. Partly because moving house left me without decks for a while, but mainly I felt I couldn’t match this one. After this point, I produced far fewer update mixes, and they are cataloged by dates instead of numbers. > download CD cover 79’22” - 110.1MB - AAC file - 192kbps project: update > summer 2001 > 19.1 mixed 8/9/01>5/10/01 a:xus you make me feel like (peace & love & happiness) deep sensations somehow, somewhere (there’s a soul heaven) original mix goodfellas soul heaven original mix 12” silicon soul right on!

I mixed this for Billy when I couldn’t make it to his wedding. It’s collection of early 90s tunes that we played and heard out lots when we were at uni.

Summer 2001. Matt, Mikey and Paul were sharing a house in Stoke Newington. The knocked-through lounge / kitchen / conservatory and outside yard made it an excellent party house. And being not-too-far from Finsbury Park made it an excellent venue for post-Pride shenanigans. As with all these parties, I’d rock up with my mini disc and wire together a few stereos. Here’s a mix I knocked up for the 2001 event. We open with a few funky faves before moving to a few more banging post-trance thumpers, ending with the classic Hold That Sucker Down. mardi gras mix > summer 2001 true gold groove no.1 smokin' jo jakatta american dream grace jones slave to the rhythm house bootleg jazzin the way static avenger happy people el b get her trisco muzak basstoy running serious danger deeper tall paul rock da house fergie remix touch me faithless hold that sucker down builds like a skyscraper mix 51.8MB AAC file 128kbps - 62 mins

I’m uploading this on a very cold February Saturday - I’ve been playing it to bring a little sunshine through my speakers and thought I should share it with you. This mix is a collection of vocal house anthems from the 90s. I made it for a summer party at “The Gay Church” (aka Kat and Chris’ apartment in a converted vicarage). The mixing isn’t much to be proud of - from memory, I’d already spent the afternoon prior to the party laying down a couple of mixes for that evening, and threw this together while I was getting ready to leave the house, just randomly grabbing old sunny tracks I had not played for a while. I guess it’s no surprise the the original track list has gone astray. I recognise most of the tunes anyway. Lots of happy sing-a-long stompers, some already classics at the time.

I may have already mentioned what a great flat Andie and I shared in Bethnal Green. With a large living space it was perfect for big parties, and we had a few. Best of the best were our New Year’s Eve extravaganzas. ‘2001: A Spaced Odyssey’ was the biggest headline event I can remember. Andie’s room was earth, floodlit in green, mine was Mars in red, the hallway was a docking station and the main room was space. Everyone dressed up: gay space cowboys, a whole crew of Star Trek ensigns, monsters, aliens, the lot. Clearing up the day after we filled a box with toy ray guns. As with all the best parties, it was a joint effort. Ted designed the invite artwork, Paul, Andrew and Cuneyt dressed the venue after raiding the Paperchase post-xmas sale, I was lights and music. When hosting at home I don’t enjoy DJing through the evening so used to pre-mix the music. This mix kicked in at midnight after Big Ben’s chimes. We start with a few commercial dance favourites from the time, before going into a wad of funky disco house anthems and old skool classics. Ii think I must have run out of time before the party because the last 20 minutes are from a Ministry Of Sound CD. Thanks also goes to Tim Stoller for lending me ‘Salsoul Nuggets’ - my fave track of that Christmas, only available as an instrumental white label at the time. Originally mixed across 4x minidiscs, the mix appears here for the first time as one continuous session. This is the soundtrack from midnight to 5am, at which point we switched to Strangeways Days Vol 2. It’s a big file so may take some time to dload. My fondest memory of the party was at about 8am on New Year’s Day. The sun was rising and a Spanish couple we’re dancing. I’d never met them before - friends of friends of friends - but they had just been reunited as he had been living in Spain. They twirled each other around and around gently, never losing eye contact. A beautiful moment amongst the spilt drinks, fag ends and scattered beer cans! artwork dloads CD covers from Andrew’s discs of this mix, including Ted’s artwork: disc 1 - disc 2 - disc 3 2001: A Spaced Odyssey > New Year’s Eve > mixed 26 - 30 Dec 2000 1 - Daft Punk - One More Time 2 - Lucy Pearl - Don't Mess With My Man - mood II swing mix 3 - Bootleg - modjo / brandy - ladyboy is mine 4 - Spiller - groovejet (if this ain't love) 5 - Cleptomaniacs - all i do (Stevie Wonder) 6 - Soul Vision vs EBTG - Tracey In My Room 7 - Braxe & Falke - Intro (runnin) 8 - ATFC - Bad Habit 9 - Barbara Tucker - Stop playing with my mind 10 - Whitney Houston - I'm your baby tonight - dronez club mix 11 - Afro Medusa - Pasilda - Knee Deep club mix 12 - King Unique - Look ahead 13 - Daddy's Favourite - I feel good things for you 14 - Junior Jack - My Feelings 15 - M&S - Salsoul Nugget (If you wanna) 16 - Bob Sinclare / Sister Sledge - feel for you / lost in music booty 17 - Gamba Freaks - let's get down 18 - Cherie Amour - I don't want nobody telling me 19 - Bini & Martini - happiness 20 - Moloko - Time is now 21 - Sonique - feels so good - can 7 remix 22 - Joe Roberts - Happiness 23 - Bootleg - talking heads - once in a lifetime - remix 24 - Bootleg - bucketheads - the bomb booty 25 - K Klass - Show You Love - 99 remix 26 - Moby - Body Rock - olav bosaski remix 27 - H2O - Satisfied 28 -Bootleg noel - ce ce peniston funked up - finally - noel funk mix 29 - Gamma Funk - shake my ass 30 - Basstoy - runnin' - original 31 - Boney M - ma baker remix 32 - white label - party children 33 - Junior Jack - My feelings - remix 34 - Urban Species - alright 35 - Xpansions - move ur body 3

Chrissie is an old mate from my days at Kiss 100. Back in November 2000, she was particularly fond of a tune by Kojak that I’d blagged from one of the programming guys, so I built a mix around it for her birthday. The session is filled out with various commercial party anthems and other big tunes from 2000. Most of these tracks also appear in the 2001 Spaced Odyssey mix for the following month’s NYE party, which is probably why I have not uploaded this before now, but this mix came first and no doubt inspired that soundtrack. It appears I never noted the original tracklist for this mix, but all of the tracks were easy to recognise apart from No 4... I can picture the sleeve but it’s one I passed on to the charity shop long ago. Enjoy!

This mix was laid down one hot summer afternoon for the first BBQ round at The Gay Church (Kat & Chris’ flat). They called it a BBQ, but it kind of started after dark and not much food was eaten... Summer of 2000 was a scorcher. So many parties too. The mix is very similar to the set I played at a party in West London for one of Jane’s friends. I turned up just expecting to play for half an hour but rocked the joint for several hours.

Here’s a favourite for dancing around Paul’s living room. Many of the tracks here also remind me of Cuneyt, who stayed with Andie and I for a while when he split up with his ex. One Saturday evening we got trashed and danced away wearing a pair of headphones each. The tracklist is a chunky selection of disco and filtered house anthems which I much overplayed at the time. Daddy’s Favourite is always a crowd pleaser, and the Phunkie Souls track should be one of my Desert Island selections. ‘For real’ by Bushbaby is beautifully lush. Excuse the pop tracks, it’s probably a result of working at Kiss at the time. project:update > update 12.1 > november 99 1 triple x - feel the same 2 daddy’s favourite - i feel good things for you - original mix 3 sunkids feat. chance - rescue me - bibi & martini ‘999’ funk mix 4 madison avenue - don’t call me baby - original 12” mix 5 michael moog - that sound - full intention remix 6 supakings - back and forth - supakings vocal mix 7 phunkie souls - tha music - knee deep club mix 8 bushbaby - for real 9 big time charlie - on the run - original mix 10 defunk - pleasure love - cosmak dub 11 hurricane - on & on - origianl 12” mix 12 alena - turn it around - another mix 97.3 MB AAC File 192kbps
