Was pure special what a fucking mix that brought back beautiful memories

Can anyone id the track 24-26 mins as I want to record it myself wit my voice but need track name xx

Spin Inn, Eastern Bloc, The Mix Factory, Da Intalex...just some of the Manchester musical institutions and outfits that Mark XTC has been involved with in his now twenty five year career across records shops, clubs and early rave culture.

Playing across hip hop, classic house and also well known as a proponent of Drum and Bass / Jungle throughout his career Mark is a hugely versatile DJ and his Hacienda Tribute mix, published now on this site and soundcloud, sees him take to three decks and CD-J’s in putting it together.

Showcasing the skills throughout, taking accapellas, additional beats and put his own spins on the format, “Always There” and “Dirty Cash” knock out over classics such as Jam The Dance from the outset. A tribute to the recently passed Mark Bell with an airing of “LFO” as Mark throws in the better known tunes such as “Voodoo Ray”, “Promised Land” against US underground  such as Corina’s  “Temptation” 

With extended mixing a feature of the mix, and Mark laying his own markers, scratching in and out, from “French Kiss”, “Higher States Of Consciousness” and the Sasha remix of Better Days, Mark expertly blends the tracks in a set that pulls no punches.

The rarely heard dub of My Friend Sam featuring Viola Willis kicks off the final section of the mix as B Sides Volme II, ”Casanova” and “The Shaker Song” all come together as rare hip hop cut The Doc’s “Portrait Of A Masterpiece” and an untouched “Strings Of Life”  bring Mark’s exhilarating hour to a close.

Dyin' To Be Dancin' Extended Dance Remix Djloops (1981)

Tribute to the Gallery Leeds 1992

1994 I discovered a club in Birmingham called WOBBLE. Anyway this is a mix of all the hands in the air tunes from that summer that for me defined my 1994 experience of Wobble. 
I've used a bit of artistic licence with the intro - Some may not agree with every tune choice, some of them may not be the most underground or 'credible' tunes but they were the dancefloor fodder that Phil Gifford and guest DJ's such as Chris & James, Luvdup, etc. were hammering that summer that defined my personal experience... and most of them still make me smile now....  enjoy!

Wobble Birmingham 1994 - (Jip Mann - My Fave House Tunes of 1994)

Following the wicked opening set from our residents Lee James & Garry Dabill was a DJ who used to be a regular guest at UpYerRonson and even hosted the infamous 12 Nights of Summer Party at The Pleasure Rooms in 1996....he was back making his first UYR appearance in over 20 years....the legend that is Jeremy Healy!! Jeremy played the 5pm-6.30pm set on the Terrace so one would think he'd take it easy and play some cool summer terrace vibes...don't be silly, this is Jeremy Healy we're talking about, THE best PARTY DJ who always plays a set that will make you dance whatever time of day it is!! So sit back or rather get up and have a boogie to the original Superstar DJ, Mr Jeremy Healy! x

Jeremy Healy live at UYR End Of Summer Terrace Party - 26th August 2017

It’s been a couple of years since I last did an old school mix, and this will probably be my last for a long time to come. (I think all the tracks I love are now in this mix or the other 4 installments). I’ve spent the last few years searching out classic tracks and acapellas and putting them together in new ways that keep those crazy days of the late 80s - early 90s alive... in my own little way. There are already so many classic house mixes out there, so I wanted to think differently about 'Not Forgotten V5'. I went searching for the samples that many house tracks had sampled, back in the day and went about rebuilding them. Like Pierre Ferroldi - Moving Now. I got the original acapella the Italian's sampled from, then chopped it up and restructured it to create a ‘Moving Now’ acapella that no one else has got. Then I banged it over another track, creating a fab new bootleg version in its own right. Of course, these things take time and a lot of patience. With so much of this going on, in many ways this is a mix, sitting on top of another mix. This creates some pretty magical and unexpected mixing moments. It pairs up some formidable anthems together. When you find that Fast Eddy and Brothers in Rhythm fit hand in glove, it feels seriously good. Not quite as good as being 18 and going crazy in a sweaty club, but still pretty good. This mix is over 2 hrs long and I’ve tried by best to keep the audio and the mixing to the highest quality. There’s some well known anthems, sitting along side some rare, seldom heard gems. Some of my very own version excursions like Ellustrious - Dance no more. Some classic Italian piano screamers. Some progressive. Balearic, Chicago, you name it. I wanted to include it all, because there are too many mixes that stick to one style. To me, great house came from a number of different styles spanning a number of different years. Put it all together and you have a seriously fun trip back in time. Enjoy and play it loud.

Not Forgotten - Volume 5

We've been wanted to do this mix for a while now, and there's no better time than now is there really. A mix featuring classics from our 'Tracks from Way Back' section on our Centreforce Radio Show. There was so many to choose from there could even be a 'Part 2' coming soon. We hope you enjoy. Stay safe and turn it up loud x

Better Days (I'll Take You Back)(Tribute to the 'Number 1 Club' Manchester 1986-1993)

I’ve decided to remake my first ever and probably most popular house mix in glorious hi-fidelity sound originally recorded over 25 years ago. Many may regard this as the golden age of early 90’s house between 91-93 and no doubt you’ll recognise many tunes taken from various sets including Sasha at Universe - Pleasure Planet, probably the most popular house mix amongst UK ravers to date! For me, this is where my house journey began and I still draw a lot of influence from the early 90’s.

This one's loaded with classics throughout. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did mixing it 😎

History Of My House - Chapter 2 - 07-08-20 (Sasha - Universe)

Back to Love (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Home Nightclub Classics)(Part 2 - Home Nightclub 1994) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (January 2021)

Starting 2021 with a retro mix of some of the tunes I use to play back in 1994 at 'Home Nightclub' on Ducie Street in Manchester.

Saturday nights was named ‘Sat’ and featured the LuvDup boys Mark & Adrian in the main room, Paula ‘n’ Tabbs in the bar and The Slammin Boys in the back room. Friday night was ‘Discovery’ with Mike E-Bloc & Paul Walker in the main room and Richard ‘Moonboots’ & Bobby Langley in the bar. 

Musically the place was off the hook... It was like nowhere else in Manchester. There was no warm up as such, the beats were booming and full on from the minute you got in to the minute you left - there was so much energy in the place! Hopefully this will comes across in the mix. It was very reminiscent of places such as 'Progress' & 'Hot To Trot' in Derby & 'Club for Life' in London.

I got to play there a few times around 1994 and eventually became one of the resident DJ's there and played in all 3 rooms at one time or another. I was also one of the residents there when it got re-branded at a later date as ‘Fluid’.

This mix features the sound from 1994.  Another mix of the later stuff will follow....

1. Gat Decor - Passion (Do You Want it Right Now Mix)
2. Elevatorman - Funk & Drive (Non Stop Top Floor Edit)
3. E-Lustrious - In Yer Dance (Mother Remix)
4. Medium High - The Pleasure (Chris & James Mix)
5. Livin Joy - Dreamer (Original Club Mix)
6. Commission ft. Janet Lewinson - One Man (Association Remix)
7. Staxx - Joy (Love Joy Vocal Mix)
8. Direckt - Two Fat Guitars (Unreleased Remix)
9. Escrima - Train of Thought
10. Tin Tin Out ft. Sweet T - The Feeling (Tin Tin Out Mix)
11. Donna Giles - And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going (Pride Mix)
12. Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor Mix)
13. Way Out West - Ajare (Original Mix)
14. Grace - Not Over Yet (Perfecto Mix)
15. Anthony White - Love Me Tonight (Jimmy Gomez 6AM Mix & Gomez Rocks the Joint)
16. The Original  - I Love You Baby (Dancing Divaz Club Mix)
17. Awesome 3 - Don't Go '94 (Luvdup 12" Mix) 

Play it loud, sing, dance, smile, enjoy...
