Dave King - I Like This 025

With the disappointment of another dismal West Ham performance in my heart and the sounds of a rather good goa mix in my ears I wandered back from the pub one Saturday and decided the only thing to do was bash out some trance. 2 hrs and an unspecified (but not insignificant) number of dark ruby ales later this was the result.

It's pretty banging throughout and reasonably moody. Its not dark as in twisted, but its definitely late night shit. Think 6am in a dark room with some strobes, like the main room at Turnmills if you ever had the pleasure of experiencing it. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, everything seems to flow together in a way I can never quite achieve with pre-planned mixes but have never managed to quite capture in any ad-hoc ones I've recorded.

Dave King - Hobgoblin

I went to Pacha in London once, it really was pretty much everything I don't like about clubbing rolled into one. Bland music, clientele more interested in looking good than having a dance, far too clean (the blokes bogs smelt of perfume ffs), far too much VIP/booth shit and ridiculously expensive beer (five fucking fifty for a bottle!). It all made me want to listen to some proper sweaty, aggressive dance music so when I got home I did.  I also hit record so you can listen to it too. Bo

Live from DanceLoveHub at Trance Sanctuary, Fabric (26/03/22)

The next instalment of this occasional series, which appear to have turned into Dave gets pissed and mixes until he has to go to bed! Once again fuelled with some excellent craft ale and armed with a decent haul of new tunes I kinda picked a random tune to start with and just went where the mood took me. Chunky, warm summer night vibes going on here, few ups and downs but mostly and a solid groove level with plenty of sparkly bits. Gets a little wobbly towards the end, clearly should have called it a night sooner but I think it all still holds together! Enjoy :)

I Like This 027

My entry for the Trance Addict Forums themed mix challenge, theme being Science Fiction

Hypersleep, suspended animation, stasis whatever you want to call it, is often used as a device to get around the disparity between the enormity of space and the brevity of any single human existence.  What would it be like? Would you dream? If so what would it be like to dream for 5, 10, 100 years? What would it mean for the human condition if you lived for 100 or 200 years after your birth but with a normal physical age? Would the human race split into those that travel between the stars and those that remain on their home-worlds?

This is what was running through my head when I was putting this together, I think it fits with the theme fairly well.  I've tried to pick tracks that evoke the vastness of space and also the loneliness and isolation that might arise from an interstellar existence. 

Were I to have more time I would probably like to dig a bit deeper for more tracks but if I dont submit this now I will miss the deadline, which would be a real shame!

Enjoy!

Hypersleep Dreams

I recently decided to upgrade my mixer from my trust old Xone 42 to a PLAYdifferently Model 1.4 and of course what better way to christen my extravagant new toy than with the recording of a mix! This started life as another one of my drunken evening rambling epics which I was just going to drop as the next episode of the I Like This project, but after listening to it back a few times I realised that there enough bits that I really liked that it was worth trying to rejig the bits that were less well done and have it as a stand alone mix. 
 I've been listening to a lot of the newer trance from labels like Haws but this is the first mix Ive done that really features it prominently. I think I've managed to successfully synthesise it in with the other sounds I play to create something cohesive.  It is very much a "trance" mix, quite high energy and laced with 303 all over the place alongside some full on hands in the air euphoria, although hopefully staying the right side of unicorn bothering.

This ones squarely grounded in the progressive/trance sound that got me into dance music in the first place.

Dave King - I Like This 004

Rerecording of my set from the Friendz Reunion Boat party. Great party, great weather, awesome tunes from all the DJs, pretty honoured to close the DanceLoveHub deck. Its a mixture of chunky prog, trance and acid, all with a sunshine sparkle (at least, I think so!) 

Unfortunately the live recording was knackered, but this redo does mean that you get to hear the last tune I had planned which didnt get aired on the day due to some overzealous bouncers :D Enjoy!

Friendz Reunion Boat Party 3rd June 2023

Re-recording of my set from the Dance Love Hub Christmas party in Shoreditch. The party ran 4pm til 2am and I was on 9-11, so proper peak time which allowed me to "unleash the bangers". The crowd were absolutely amazing, full of energy, I don't think I've had quite as much fun behind the decks!

Dance Love Hub Xmas Party 30-12-23

My entry to the Wax Format AIr DJ Competion

DJing on vinyl fills a space in my life that I think meditation & yoga does for others, in a way that digital just doesnt quite reach, something about the physical connection with the medium and the memories associated with each record. Id love the chance to get to do it in front of people again.

Whatever the outcome, I've really enjoyed the challenge of compressing a longer warm up set into 30 mins, hopefully I've done it justice! 

Main Element - Take Me Down (Gwill Morris Main Mix)

The Big Four Oh

This is a reconstruction of my set from the DanceLoveHub Breakfast Club on 1st Nov at the 414 in Brixton. It was a little odd, being a responsible adult and getting an early night then getting up early Sunday to join the party at 7am, but the crowd were fantastic, as up for it as any I've seen (even at the start of a night) and totally receptive to everything I played. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

DanceLoveHub Breakfast Club

Well once a month didnt happen (SoundCloud reliably informs me its been 8 months since the last one) but hats a few months between friends eh? Luckily over the weekend a had a few hours to retire to the outbuilding and crank up the speakers, and this is the result. The last few mixes I've put out have been rather more at the banging end of the spectrum (including a promo mix for the Echo boat party https://www.facebook.com/events/1529427350684872/?active_tab=posts which shall be released soon) so I wanted to do something a bit more chunk, funk and groove. I think this fits the bill. Enjoy!

Dave King - I Like This 016

This is a recording of my set from the Echo 17th birthday boat party at the last May bank holiday. It was a great party with a really up for it crowd. I was lucky enough to play a later set than my previous outings on the boat, so this is an hour of energetic, bouncy trance. Seemed to go down pretty well on the night and I hope you enjoy it to. It is a live recording rather than a reconstruction so please excuse the rather dodgy announcement, not sure who that guy is, sounds drunk to me...

Dave King - I Like This 020

Last summer I moved out of London to the shires and this installment has been heavily influenced by my recent wintery morning commutes from sleepy country town to bustling capital. Starts off quite bleary eyed and proggy before getting a bit more energetic and raucous in the final third before winding down at the end. There's a lot of melody here, in fact you could almost go as far as calling it a trance mix, I mean if you wanted to.

Dave King - I Like This 021

<b>I did this last summer, but I have 6 hours of soundcloud space that I have paid for that I am not using so Im trying to fill it with old stuff.  After another festival summer this is still as relevant as it was last year.  If you spent some time in the fire pit you know what I mean!!!</b>

The stages Arcadia create are, quite simply, ridiculous and my favourite places to have a damn good rave. This year I've had the good fortune to be able to dance into the wee hours around The Spider and The Afterburner which both follow a similar formula, recycled military scrap, lasers, big fuck off sound system and flamethrowers. There really is nothing quite like a big drop being accompanied by the stage you're dancing on exploding around you.

After getting home from Bestival this week I felt inspired to create this mix in homage. In keeping with the futuristic, other worldly feel of the stages its mostly dirty, dark, mechanoid, optimus prime battles the terminator type breaks with a few bits of tech-funk and techno thrown in for light relief. Its a "festival set", so its about as subtle as a slap in the face with a fish, but I'm really pleased with it and I hope you enjoy it too. Not too sure about listening context, if you dont have a giant fire breathing spider I'd suggest something energetic, its not for quiet reflection.

Dave King - I Like This 024

For a while now I've been wanting to put together a mix that predominantly focuses on the more psychedelic side of breaks and having a bit of free time over the past few days I've been able to put this together.  It starts off quite "proggy" and groovy and gets more agressive towards the end (although it never quite manages to get into full on psychedelia IMO). One of the things I really love about this style of music is the deep, rolling, pulsating bass lines and I have tried to work the transitions so that it all merges into one continuous groove (hence the name). You can judge for yourselves whether it worked (feel free to let me know your thoughts)!

Dave King - Reminiscence Part Deux

I made this for a genre challenge on one of the forums I use. I really found it a challenge! Both from a technical mixing point of view and also programming the records to give a decent flow and progression. I havent really mixed much music that doesnt use a drum machine of some sort, so dealing with the looseness (as compared to a machine) of the live drummers was a real hurdle. I had to totally re-adjust the way I mix, quick cuts instead of long blends and just trying to keep a groove going (this is the first time ever that I have used the crossfader on my mixer!).   There were some other tracks that I really wanted to include (Hit and Run and Ain't No Mountain High Enough were just too damn slow!) but I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. Enjoy!
