A dig into some of my most treasured vinyl - circa `91. Tunes that, for me, have stood the test of time. The snap, crackle and pop go`s with the territory here.  
One of my favourite New Zealand Dj`s recently said to me "Music is what feelings sound like" 
These tracks were part of the soundtrack to my late teenage years growing up in S.Devon with the most amazing group of friends I could have ever wished for. 
Music was part of our growing up together and I`m sure for most teenagers will always be so.
Sadly some of our original gang are no longer with us so I dedicate this mix to them. 
Forever in my thoughts. x

DJ Asterix - The escape from Alcatraz

A little mix in preparation for the superb "Mayhem" party I`ll be playing at in May alongside Brandon Block, Lisa Unique, Matt Harris and Ben Sowton. 
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.... this classic Asterix mix starts as a pre-party vibe which picks up in tempo as the night progresses.
If you fancy coming to the party pm me and I`ll send you the details....there are quite a few of us going from London and its going to be an utterly brilliant weekend away with lovely people in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside.

Dj Asterix - Jukebox Heroes - March 2013 promo

A 45 minute mini mix inspired by a long spring weekend, with my wonderful sister, in Marrakech. We spent an unforgettable day trekking in the Atlas mountains with our guide and driver Mahmoud. He took us off the beaten track to small villages where we saw real local life and ancient customs. It felt as far removed from the stresses and strains of city life as I could possibly imagine. This soundtrack aims to capture the feeling I felt that day. Enjoy. x

The Cure - Fascination St (Virgin Magnetic Material mix)
Crystal Fighters - At home (Fusty delights mix)

DJ Asterix - A weekend in Marrakech

London based DJ Asterix discovered the art of Djing in 1989, inspired by good friend Ewan McNeil (The Beginnerz/Nocturnal/Downtown records). London was a great place to be the the early 90`s and favourite hangouts included Phil Salons Mud club, Busbys, Rage,The Crazy club (Astoria) as well as Brixtons` legendary Loughborough Pk parties hosted by Micky Daley,TinTin, Bryan Gee
       In 1994 he moved to Canada representing MCA (Uk),as well as Pete Tongs` London records` offshoot - FFRR. His first Canadian gigs were at Toronto's first legal all night dance venue - The Tunnel Club supporting the likes of Mark Oliver, John E, and Kofi. He then set up Cultural vibes (Canada), an events company (named in honour of Cultural vibes uk) challenging the likes of Mike Steins` Pleasure Force, Syrous and Destiny. Using regular shows on Energy 108 fm (Drivetime with Scot Turner) and MTV (Electric Circus) and North America's YTV, to promote his events.
            A highlight, New Years Eve 1994 was supporting Deelite (Groove is in the heart) in blizzard battered downtown Toronto and shortly supporting Derricks` May and Carter at the enormous 5000 people "Better days" party on Toronto's east side.
            Returning to England in late 1994 he took up a residency at "Fusions" and together with Matt B took control of both Tuesday and Friday nights. So much fun! In 1995 Mixmag  voted Fusions` Tuesday night as one of their top ten favourite nights in the country. Other gigs included Naughty but nice in Hereford with Dave Dorrel and Alistair Whitehead, The sound factory - Plymouth with Paul Honey and Cultural vibes dj`s and the legendary beach parties on the south coast with Matt B, Dean Lambert, and Graham Gold.
            2005 saw Asterix take up a new residency at "Alphabet", in the heart of Soho, and in 2006 he joined www.innacityfm.com broadcasting his weekly Sunday show via the web. Recent Gigs have included  Dex/The Clubhouse in Brixton, Circle bar in Clapham, The White house - Clapham, Juno in Shoreditch, Overdose in Norwich, boat Parties on the good ship Wilfred down at Temple Pier, Cafe 1001 on Brick lane, Oval space Hackney, the Shoreditch, the Millenium Belgravia, Bloomsbury bowls club, The Regent Balham and the IOD on Pall Mall.
With regards the music...well....just listen....and hey...if you like it then that's great!
