Mixed By Ian M - Nexus HH Mix May 2014

What's up guy's ? Hope you're all good & keep well.

Here is the next in the 'Nothing But', this time featuring all things Untidy. A sub-label for the massive Tidy Trax, Untidy was aimed more at the tough house/house that's hard side of things. There's been many producers that have gone under the guise of Untidy over the years, a few of them being Paul Janes, Amadeus Mozart, Jon BW & Sam Townend

I've tried to capture the full range of what the Untidy sound has been like over the years so I hope you enjoy it.

It was a mad night down at Turnmills after being away from Trade and the club for 2 & half years. The place was absolutely packed with over 1500 people and I'd just driven down after playing The Ark in Newmarket, so I was ready for no prisoners. Enjoy this trip into Heat madness.

With A Vengeance

HT 035 - Track 03

Here's my little old skool techno tribute to the clubnight I near enough grew up in for my early dj'ing days and finally being a resident for 8 odd years. Obviously, this is just scratching the surface regarding the selection of tunes we all played down there. But here's a starter with more on it's way.
And with "Trade 25 The Final" just passing at the weekend (25th Oct 2015), here's a small selection of tunes that some of the Trade Babies went mental over on the dancefloor, mainly played by residents Daz & Trevor & Tony de Vit and over time by myself.
The final Trade event at "The Egg" in London was unbelieveable with many faces from old & new attending including some famous names and dj's from all over the globe.
It's an event which will be talked about for years to come.
I hope you enjoy the mix and try to remember those mental mornings/days down in the depths of Turnmills. It was definitely "FIERCE" and "RULIN'" at TRADE.

The Angry Dragon Mix June 2016

Mixed By Ian M - The "Angry Dragon" Mix June 2016

Ian M is the original hard house DJ and still the best.

For eight years in the ‘90s, the Leicester prodigy played a central role in the success of the most important after-hours club in British dance music history, Trade, the most influential club in the annals of hardness.

Having cut his teeth in his hometown for several years towards the end of the 80s, the DJ world’s God of thunder got his first big break when Trade offered him a slot on a tour date in Birmingham.

The rewarding residency that followed at the London club’s homebase in London gave Ian the challenging task of playing after the lord of the dance Tony de Vit, one that he pulled off successfully week after week.

The fruitful relationship with Trade afforded the Godfather of hard house a number of memorable career highlights. These include playing to an audience of 250,000 at the Love Parade in Leeds, teaming up with Danny Tenaglia at Twilo in New York and playing Dance Valley in Amsterdam alongside Carl Cox.

The punisher’s more recent successes at the epicentre of the hard universe are as notable and widespread, as his much-admired residencies at Sundissential, Insomniacz, Storm, Twist, Sinergy, Fuel and Insekt testify.

Worldwide demand for his dynamic DJ sets has taken Ian everywhere from Ireland, France, Hong Kong, Canada, Ibiza, South Africa, New York, Washington D.C, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

As a creator of top quality tunes with high production values, Ian has never been described as prolific, but when he does deliver a new tune, it tends to be a major event rather than just another record coming out. 

Who can forget the phenomenal global hysteria surrounding his timeless masterpiece ‘Crazy Pills’ when it first appeared?

Prior to that landmark outing, a string of unforgettable classics had cemented his reputation as a most outstanding music maker. 

These include two remixes of Dyewitness for Tidy Trax, his famed ‘Black Is Black’ remake for the same label, the storming singles ‘Annihilation’ and ‘The Dreamer’ along with hard-as-nails treatments for top labels such as React, Tripoli Trax, Elasticman, OVD, Kaktai and Mohawk.

Ian compiled and mixed the biggest-selling volume of all the Trade album series, and has released a host of superb compilation mixes for Tidy Trax, Fevah N.Z and Torture Garden.

2009 saw Ian returning to the studio with Dom Sweeten (of OD404) and Karl Davis (from Ireland) to run up three tracks, of which two were released for Karl’s Pure NRG label and one (DJ Rave) ended up being used for Dom’s mix on Spinball’s “Velvet Hammer” compilation.

2010 has seen Ian going back in the studio but this time, it is with Dave Owens & Valex to co-produce “Demons”, which was exclusively featured on Valex's Toolbox album together with an exclusive "Butcher Boy" Remix. Ian finished the year going back in Dave Owens Turtledog Studio with the huge "Crank" for Tidy.

2011 has started with Ian going in with Mr Owens again for the massive "Where R Da Drums" for newly formed label Twist Trax and the Radio 1 played "Bang Yer Mind" (with Ben Stevens) for Vicious Circle. And finally finishing the year off with a new track called "Dirty GaGa", recorded at Ben Stevens all new & plush studios nr Manchester.

And 2012 is looking as busy, with another visit to Mr Owens Turtledog Studios with Ben Townsend (man about town) in January, where we knocked out "Pop Idol" on Smalltown Records. Other projects are due to follow.

2013 starts with a mix album for Razor Recordings, with the name "The Razorz Edge", which has gone straight to No.1 in the Juno Download Album Chart. Ian will be in the studio again at some point in 2013 with more new artists and will be working on a new Hard House offshoot label & signing new tracks for it sometime in 2013. Watch this space for details!!
