This months mix is packed to the rafters. A whopping 18 tracks in 75 minutes! Mix opens with another track from Lovebirds. This is the second track from The Rat E.P. which brought you "The Sound" in the Dec 08 mix. Next up is a great track from late last year, "Boriken Soul" is a great afro upbeat track. Staying on the afro tip comes a very infectious tune, "Captured" which sounds like nothing else out there. Next up is a track that's been doing the rounds for while, but has finally been released on BBE. "Brand New Feeling" brings legends Roy Ayers and Sting Intl together and the result is quality. We then go deep with "Club Z" and "Anxiety" before another chance to sing along with "Sunday Light". Must admit I had never heard of Motor City Drum Ensemble before, but will definitely keep an eye out for them now. "Raw Cuts 3" is just top drawer, my favorite track on the mix. Couldn't resist dropping my favorite Mousse T track - "Bad Boy" takes me back to 98 when this was first released. We then have three big classics from back in the day. Joe Smooth - "Promised Land" is one of the most famous tracks in house. Strobelight Honeys is a tune I've been after for over 15 years! And then there's the infamous Ralphi Rosario track -"You Used To Hold Me". We're brought back to modern times with another gem from Peven Everett with "Church". Always wanted to use the famous MLK "I Have A Dream" speech over a tune. Perfect opportunity arose when I heard Gentle, again by those busy Lovebirds. We end with a very laid back mix of the excellent "Boriken Soul". Should be something for everyone in this mix.

Been into house music for 20 years now. Lucky enough to grow up in the North of England in the late 80's early 90's. Enabled me to see all the legendary DJs that built the scene. Been DJ'ing since 94. Over the years I've been into most scenes as they emerged, House, US Garage, UK Garage, Deep House, Funky House, Latin Vibes, Chicago Jack and of course the Soulful Vocal stuff. My mixes are a reflection of those styles, usually starting off on a mellow vibe progressing through to the chunky stuff before bringing you safely back down on the other side. The common theme being great quality bottom heavy, shake your ass music. Legends for me over the years - too many to mention them all: MAW, Joey Negro, Grant Nelson, Quentin Harris, DJ Spen, Karizma, Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler, Brian Tappert, Graham Park, Mike Pickering, Liquid People - the list goes on. Favourite labels over the years - Strictly, Nervous, Swing City, Nice N Ripe, UnRestricted Access, Code Red, Old Skool Subliminal, Old Skool Defected, Soulfuric, Z Records, Old Skool Azuli, King St, MAW, Purple. I moved to Sydney on the other side of the world 2006. It's a great place, but I do miss the house scene in the UK, theres just nothing else quite like it. If you ever get the chance, get down to the Southport Weekender for the best music weekend of your life! I really miss it! Thank you for taking the time to listen. Hope you enjoy the mixes, as much as I enjoy creating them. That's my little boy Bailey on the decks. He'll be big in the scene one day - just watch out! Current Favourite track - Francois K - Awakening (Needs Remix) , oh my, oh my oh my, oh my oh my oh my! Enjoy!
