A new Trip/Glitch Hop style track I am working on. Here is a lower quality cut for you all. The track has not been mastered or mixed yet, I will get round to doing this when I am in the correct state of mind. So turn it up LOUD! The way intended to be played. ;)

Finished Recording.

I will provide a full list of the records played with a discogs link once I have finished my exams. Here is a quick list of some artists featured -
Heaven 17,Linkwood,Afee Iku, ORS - Body to Body Boogie, Arnold Jarvis, Chic booty, Phoreski, Richard Gateaux - fat fuk recordings, Marc e, Discodeine.

Remember I told you all how I found a really nice 7 inch while I was digging up in Newcastle? I only really enjoyed the B-side instrumental and even went as far to say that the A side was an "average" record. I never thought I would like the A-side of the Heaven 17 track, it seemed so tragic. But, I guess my tastes have changed and I decided to play it in this mix (second last track) and did not mind it at all. In fact, I would say my hearts bpm was nudged forward a couple of beats ;), haha get it?

As promised, more later.

Here is a live mix I did at a party a while ago, the booth had a pair of Behringer truths and I am still surprised at how loud I was able to get them cranking. It was almost sufficient to actually use to monitor the main system ahhaahha, ok well that is an exaggeration, ‘almost’ being the key word.

I recently went back to this venue and they had removed their 1200 mk11's - what a shame. I decided to upload this on divshare as a few of you were asking for it. This time I have included a proper track listing. This turned out to be quite a lengthy process. I physically had to dig through my collection and locate potential records that could have been used. Once I did this I went through at least 50 records until I found the right tracks in the mix. Recovering the record itself was not the problem, trying to actually figure the individual track is where I got stuck. I am the sort of guy that visualises music by cover art so locating the actual track names ended up to be quite a tedious task. However, some things just have to be done, I hope those of you asking for the track i.d of the last tune are happy now ;).

Discogs - Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas - Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas. Some pearlers from Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, awesome modern cosmic tunes are packed into this LP. It got my head turning!

Discogs - Domu - Discotech EP II.Domu brings back some quality deep house with this release.

Discogs - The Earons - Land Of Hunger. A suprise record I picked up at a garage sale from an old dude living in a mansion in Brighton, purchased purely for the cover but turned out to be quite the number.

Discogs - Groove Armada - Greg Wilson Versions. Finally, another one to look out for (limited to 300 copies). Nice one GREG! Although, are they really much different from the originals?
