The Guest Mix is from Mike Woods:
Mike started dj-ing back in 1989 after being a regular at the legendary Hacienda club especially Park and Pickering's Friday Nude night. After meeting another Hacienda DJ Steve Williams who also had a couple of sidekicks called Laurent Garnier and Sasha (I'm not sure what happened to those two though) it was Steve who introduced Mike to Eastern Bloc records and that's where all those elusive records were coming into Manchester from as you couldn't get this new Music from just anywhere. Mike soon started to pick up his own collection of records and as he was the only one with these records he was asked to DJ local parties in his home town of Warrington. It was around 89 that the Thunderdome opened in Manchester and Mike got to play a few Thursday nights and also later that year got to play some local clubs in Warrington, the next logical progression was to get a Saturday night and that came in the shape of a club called Legends in Warrington, this started in 1990 and ran through till 93, (see Youtube video's for some memorable footage)it still stands out to today as quite a unique Music policy as it started around 90 bpm with a balearic vibe and slowly built up to anything form deep house to Techno and even the odd disco track.

It was also around 1990 that Mike produced his first record Flashback - You which still sells for a good money on discogs, it was a white label that was pressed up by himself.

The next record produced was under the name bbr streetgang, which was signed to Scottish label Hubba Hubba, and followed up with the United House E.P. which was a reflection of the Music policy at Legends, with a disco sampled house feel and also a couple of downtempo tracks.

BBR streetgang went on to sign to Transworld records which was a subsidiary of Dead Dead Good records of course home to The Charlatans, bbr's biggest hit followed in the shape of Feel the Music which was on some of the big compilation CD's of the time and was a disco infused track which was played live in the studio and still sounds great today.

Mike eventually left Legends in 93 and was looking for something new and found that in the shape of the World club, again in Warrington and this is where Mike's love of the disco sample was played out on his own productions in the studio with tracks like Disco Groove, also remixed by New Yorks production team Roc & Kato, and in his sets with new Music coming from the like's of DJ Sneak and G.U. and his love for the American sound.

Mike eventually had a family and settled down in Melbourne Australia but after ten years decided to make the move back to U.K. in 2016 and also started to produce new material under his own name, release's for Masterworks, Reptile Dysfunction and All My Friends to name a few.
