About this CD:
I first discovered what Lazy Dog was all about when tuning into one of Danny Rampling's many Love Groove Dance Party saturday night shows on Radio 1. The deep sounding, sexier and feel good vibes got me interested and I always remember having it taped to cassette on my train trip down to live in London in 2001. When I arrived, I picked up the double disc from a Virgin Megastore on Kings Road and it's soundtrack went onto be the anthem of my year.

Groove Armada - Ibiza Full Moon Party Mix

ESSENTIAL MIX - JAN 2009
Uploaded on 17.01.10 and exclusive to SoundCloud. Available for the first time without voiceovers and jingles,12 months on from original Radio 1broadcast on 17.01.09.


EMAILSHOT A FEW DAYS AHEAD OF MIX BEING AIRED:
2009 kicks in for me this weekend with my first gig of the year for Udio (1st birthday) at The Gramaphone Club in Shoreditch, London on Friday night, which coincides with the airing of my only just completed in the nick of time Essential Mix on Radio 1, made up of 43 tracks in just under 2 hours.

Given that the 5th anniversary of my DJ comeback has only just passed, I decided to take the opportunity to make the mix totally representative of this period, with all the selections being amongst the biggest tracks I’ve played since I made my second debut at Music Is Better in Manchester.

Five years represents a significant package of time, a fixed point from where I can reflect on what’s been a continually snowballing sequence of events, set in motion when Danny Webb asked me to appear in Manchester on that December night back in 2003.

There were less than 100 people there that night, but they were the right people, and I was taken aback by the response to my return, both on the night itself and during subsequent days, when people who were there began to post on the forums. I’d never expected all the feedback be so totally positive!

I’d figured that I’d play that night, using the combination of laptop and reel-to-reel for the first time, then go away and think about what worked and what didn’t before I made my next move. I would never have believed that things could come together so immediately, it was as if I’d hit a completely unexpected hole in one, especially when two of the people who were there, Ralph Lawson, DJ from Back To Basics in Leeds, and one of my fellow DJ’s that night, Richard Hardcastle (Solid State) from Society in Sheffield, both asked me to play at their nights no sooner had I finished my spot.

One thing kept leading to another and, in Sheffield, I was approached by Tony Daly to play at the now legendary Tyneside Cinema party in Newcastle, a bespoke event where he took on the substantial risk of presenting me in a city I’d never DJ’d in previously (unless you count the 1983 TV appearance on The Tube, which was filmed in the Tyne Tees studio). Then, of course, there was London, where Steve Kotey and Bill Brewster booked me for their parties, bringing me to the capital within the first few months of my return for Ouch and Low Life.

The bookings kept coming, and I found myself driving up and down the country on an increasingly regular basis. Later in 2004 I was approached by Sav Remzi, from Tirk / Nuphonic, with the idea of putting together an edits album, which would be issued the following year as ‘Credit To The Edit’. This would help bring my name to the attention of people outside the UK. There was soon a need to step things up further, now that I was receiving enquiries from Europe, and so began a fruitful relationship with my agent, Matt Johnson (Matty J), who’s done a wonderful job of representing me during recent years.

The last few months have been, to say the least, manic for me, with 25 flights, including 6 long haul, taking me to gigs in the US, Japan, Australia, Brazil and Europe. From a personal perspective I still find it remarkable the way everything has developed, pretty much organically, since I made the decision that I was going to be a DJ once again – had I concocted some sort of comeback masterplan, it could never have worked out anything like as well as it has. It’s definitely been a case of ‘from small acorns’.

It still never ceases to amaze me that people from another continent are interested in my DJ past. Back in the early 80’s, before I went into retirement for 20 years, the furthest I travelled (with the exception of the appearances I made in the South of England as part of The Hacienda Review in late ’83) was to places like Birmingham and Nottingham, when I played at All-Dayers, so to find myself in clubs on the other side of the world is pretty nuts!

Anyhow, I’d like to wish everyone all the best for 09. Big thanks to all the promoters who booked me and everyone who danced to the tunes I played during ’08 in Adelaide, Barcelona, Belfast, Berlin, Birmingham, Blackburn, Brighton, Bristol, Dublin, Dundee, Edinburgh, Fukuoka, Glasgow, Hamburg, Leeds, Lisbon, Liverpool, London, Los Angeles, Manchester, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Newcastle, Nottingham, Paris, Porto Alegre, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Sheffield, Sydney, Tokyo and Warsaw. Also the festivals and special events that I appeared at - Bestival (Isle Of Wight), Big Chill (England), Camp Bestival (England), Garden Festival (Croatia), Ibiza, Lovebox (England), Notting Hill Carnival (England), Rockness Festival (Scotland), Sonar (Spain) and the Southport Weekender (England).

Hope to see you soon.

Greg


FORUM POST DURING FOLLOWING DAYS:                                                        
Thanks for all the positive words. The feedback has been pretty phenomenal, far exceeding what I’d hoped for, especially on the BBC page, where I’d expected that some people would criticize the amount of older music included - the Radio 1 audience is used to current stuff ('in new music we trust'), so I’d anticipated a more mixed reaction. What’s particularly pleasing is that they were all made without the people seeing what each other wrote (they all came online at once, having been checked first by whoever moderates the BBC pages, I presume for swearing etc following the Ross / Brand controversy).

You always hope something you've done will be well received, but the response to this has blown me away.

ANSWER TO POST RE MIXING PROCESS:                                                      
It was quite a laborious process. Before I could start the actual mixing part I had to edit every track to a coherent length of around two and a half minutes average, inclusive of in and out points. I had a pool of about 90 tracks that fitted the criteria I'd set (a representative selection of the biggest tunes I've been playing during the past 5 years). It wasn't as straightforward as just editing the 43 tracks I ended up featuring - in order to have the necessary options once I started to piece the mix together I needed to have all the tracks at my disposal, just as I would have if I was out deejaying in a club, so the only thing to do was edit all 90 to the required length, even though I knew that only half would make the cut .

Once that was finally done they were all taken across into my laptop, enabling me to vari-speed them via PCDJ whilst I recorded across to my home computer into Cool Edit Pro, where I put the mix together track by track, before adding overdubs (fx, samples, textures) in a similar way to what I do live using the Revox (reel to reel).

I could quite easily have spent another day, tweaking bits here and there and adding more overdubs (the older I get the more finicky I become), but I had a deadline to work to, so, as it moved ever nearer, it became a race against time, with me doing as much as I could before the cut off point arrived.

Greg

The Legendary Frankie Knuckles -  Unreleased Live set at Stereo

Verse 1]
What's your favourite pet?
What's your favourite meal?
Do you have opposable thumbs?
Tell me how do you feel?
Do you feel like a monkey
With a thought or two?
Do you feel like a chimp
Destined to die in a zoo?
Yeah? well I feel it too
And what's a chimp supposed to do
Other than beat on the glass
Until he finally breaks through?

[Chorus]
You’re an animal
Oh
You're so primal
But I'm a professional
Professional mammal
I'm a bipedal
Warm-blooded
Air breather
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
Professional Mammal

[Verse 2]
Now I’m a pro at this shit
I’ve been one my whole life
Got ten mammal kids
Got a mammal wife
Got some mammal habits
Only mammals can hack
Let’s see a fish rail a line
Let’s see a bird smoke a pack
I clock in at nine
To survive ‘til five
Evolution’s grind
Just to stay alive
And I’m doing my best, mate, honest and true
Now listen pal — have I got news for you?

[Chorus]
You’re an animal
Oh
You're so primal
But I'm a professional
Professional mammal
I got instincts
And direct debit scandals
I’m a warm-blooded
Tax-paying mammal
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
Professional Mammal

[Verse 3]
Still chasing paper, like a rat in a race,
Shaving my fur just to save some face.
Got shoes on my feet and a flat to rent,
Call it evolution — I call it descent.
I drink to evolve, then I sleep to forget,
My inbox is full, but my soul’s in debt.
Ain’t it funny, mate — the things we pursue?
Just mammals in suits with nothing to do.

[Chorus]
You’re an animal
Oh
You're so primal
But I'm a professional
Professional mammal
I got instincts
And direct debit scandals
I’m a warm-blooded
Tax-paying mammal
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
Professional Mammal

[Bridge] 
Yeah, I’ve got posture
And I’ve got plans
I’ve got existential dread
And two good hands
I breathe deep just to keep it casual
‘Cause being alive’s so fucking natural
[Breakdown / half-time section]
Ooh, the bipedal thing that you do
I do it too
Breathing, bleeding, breeding — ain’t nothing new
I get that same feeling as you
cuz you're a pro mammal too

[Final Chorus]
Baby you’re an animal
Yeah
You're an animal
Yeah you’re professional
professional mammal
We’re bipedal
warm blooded
air breathers
Yeah you know that we’re
Professional Mammals!
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
Professional Mammals!
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
Professional Mammals!

[Outro]
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
(What's your favourite pet?)
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
What's your favourite meal?
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
Do you have opposable thumbs?
(HEY!)(HEY!)(HEY!)
Professional Mammal!
