This is one of my favourite mixes and was absolutely cained for months back in 04/05. Opens with a Jo Claussel signature tune from 1981 yes 1981, 28 years old and still sounds superb. Inner Life - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" remixed by the legendary Larry Levan - proof that a quality track can truly stand the test of time. The Coffee Kidz produced a catchy quirky number with "Dangerous Frequencies". Three solid vocal tracks follow with "Freedom", "Release Yourself" and "Thank You Lord". Jill Scott gets the Wookie treatment, and what a treatment. Not very often that two mixes of a track can sound so different but equally as fantastic. Wookies mix of "Golden" is more laid back than the Grant Nelson mix, but is still top drawer. Trying to decide which one to play is like having an Aston Martin and a Ferrari in your garage and trying to decide which one you should pop down to the shops in. Next up is a track I hunted down for months. First heard on a Paul Farris summer mix, the bassline on Phatt Swedes, "He Belongs To Me" makes your car rumble and stays in your head for days. The next four tracks are pure summer latin madness. "Rosa Nova" was and still is a huge track. "Di Bamba" is a cheeky rump shaker. Grant Nelsons mix of "Viva L'Amour" makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when the break drops. "Inspiracao" is another one of my favourite latin house tunes from 04. We then shift gears again to a big room hands in the air stormer with "Time Of Our Lives". Last but by no means least we finish with "Gabryelle", a tune picked up by Defected. I'm going to be biased and say the accapella picks the track up that little bit more, but then I would say that!! Every now and then you get a month where every tune you pick up is a gem. November 2004 was one of those months. Now crank it up and jump around your house like a nutter! Let the groove release your mind, keep on dancing all the time.

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!
