This months mix open with a Southport anthem. "Cloud 9" by Donnie. Great vocals and a huge catchy vybe, timeless. Next up is my introduction to Shur I Khan with "Generations", which mixes really well into Cloud 9 and was a sign of great things to come from a top producer. "Show Me" was the first and probably still my favourite release on the Soul Groove label. Back in 04 Copyright had a much more soulful sound as "Release Yourself" shows. We then head over to the West Coast for a slice of Kaskade with "Safe". The opening accapella "The Rhythm Of life" at the start of the mix is a teaser for the full on version in the mix. Top shelf soulful house at it's best with India in top form yet again. Grant Nelson serves up a big piece of piano fueled feel good house with the legendary Ce Ce Rogers. We have a bit of German madness courtesy of Sykes N Sugarstarr with the highly infectious "Release Your Mind". Next is arguably the most famous release of 2004. Blaze with "Precious Love", sadly overplayed for me, and often in the wrong venues (hence the reason it never appears in any of my "Best Ofs"). Was blinding when it first came out though! More clap your hands happy gospel house with "King of Kings". Finishing off with the Dutch Duo, Hardsoul and "Committed". All up quite a chirpy upbeat cheeky chappy type of mix. Happy bouncing!

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!
