demo for Tom Buddah 1:14:09

1:14:09

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 bl…

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 …

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…

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…

1:19:57

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…

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. Easy going party vibes for beer o’clock: mid afternoon with hangover clearing, time to gear up for the night ahead... Now also a favourite of Rachel’s. Daytime…

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 …

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 t…

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 ed…

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. With a few acapellas thrown in to segue the tracks, this is mixed for the living room / car, rather than the dance floor. 1 - arrested development - people everyday 2 - beats international - dub be…

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…

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.

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 re…

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 2…

1:17:08

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 t…

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 …

Classic tracks from my Bethnal Green days. Every one of these tunes reminds me of that particularly messy summer when we partied every weekend.

Mainly commercial funky house, but beware of the trance tracks at the e…

Anyway, I’d just started going out with John L, whose best friend was something of a soul girl. Her birthday presented the perfect opportunity to get this recorded. I did it in one ev…

There’s are a couple of chart tracks in the mix (Tamperer and Horney) and Mad Professor’s dub-style Teardrop at the end for some reason - a 12” I had stolen when I moved flat…

There’s something exciting about a new bag of unplayed vinyl. Working as a radio producer at Key and Kiss, people often chucked unwanted wax my way.

So, this is where it all began: a series of noël mixes with numbers in the titles that just confused everyone.
