DJ General Bounce - Altered State Radio Show (Nova Radio) Takeover Guest Mix, 18th October 2019

Some of you may have heard this mix before.... I originally recorded it over 3 years ago but thought it was due another airing! 

Basically this is a mix of old tunes that used to get played out round town for the first few years I was clubbing, when town centres used to play commercial dance that was actually decent instead of Shit House Mafia and RnB bollocks.... those who remember the days of Alex Pepper on Galaxy 105, Lingards, Club Barcelona, Creation, Ikon, Jessops and the Big F in Yorkshire should enjoy this!

Excuse the dodgy mixing in places - it's a long time since I've mixed these tunes.... get your Ben Sherman shirts aahhtt and enjoy! :)

Grandad Bounce's Old Scouse Anthems - scouse house classics mix

Can you believe it's been 10 years since I did my first Backdoor Bangers mix back in 2011! To mark the occasion I thought I'd best get a new one done and I personally think this one is my best one for a while. You know the drill by now although this one is a bit tougher than the last 2 or 3 volumes. Loads of upfront new stuff from some of my favourite labels and of course Cheeky Tracks! Hope you guys enjoy!

I'll be doing these less often now as I'll be launching a new podcast soon covering all the genres I play plus a few classics that I played back in the day, but there will still be a new Backdoor Bangers coming once every few months!

You can download the full mix directly from Soundcloud or as 2 separate CDs from the links below.

Backdoor Bangers volume 52

DJ General Bounce - Backdoor Bangers volume 52 - hard house mix

BOOKINGS: leon@thehardfiles.co.uk

General Bounce is West Yorkshire based DJ and producer Dave Gray, who has become a prominent figure in UK clubland playing hard dance, bounce and house.

Obsessed with dance music from an early age, Dave has been an active club DJ ever since he turned 18 in 2001, starting on the local club & bar circuit playing everything from house and speed garage to trance and hard dance, before finally settling into the hard dance scene in 2005 with a residency for Shock in Wakefield. He quickly became known for his widely-influenced and versatile DJ sets, combining as many elements as possible from the genres he loves. When Shock ended in 2007 Dave began making regular appearances on the Northern bounce scene, and over the next 4 years Dave was privileged to play at venues such as Wigan Pier and Doncaster Warehouse. Hard dance remained a passion of his during this time, and in 2007 he came third in the Parlez Vous DJ Competition.

Things came to a head in 2010 when he was picked up by the Cheeky Tracks brand as a resident DJ and producer. Dave held a residency in the Cheeky Tracks room at Rave On in Leeds for the next 2 years, and since then he has become a regular face behind the decks at hard dance and bounce events nationwide, performing at prestigious events and venues including the Tidy Weekender, BTID, Frantic, Storm, Rejuvenation and many more.

Since taking his first steps as a producer in 2006, Dave has had several solo and collaborative releases, collaborating with both established producers and new artists on the scene, co-producing some of his collaborators' first big hits and even being played on BBC Radio 1. To date Dave has produced over 50 tracks which been supported by some of the biggest names in hard dance, such as Hannah Laing, Kutski, BK, Rob Tissera, Technikal, Andy Whitby, Anne Savage, Amber D and Lisa Pin Up. His collaboration with fellow hard house producer Rick James “Ibuleve” was featured on Hannah Laing's exclusive DJ mix for Spotify in 2022, and his last solo release “House Trafficking” topped the Toolbox Digital Shop store chart for over a week. He has also collaborated on a UK hard trance track with his idol Rob Tissera, called “Get Up Stand Up”.

Dave is an ardent believer in playing all genres of dance music, exposing his audience to new sounds and making his sets as varied as possible. Through doing this he has developed a trademark sound of vocal, uplifting rave music that's both tough and fun. Dave's passion for all genres of music runs deep, and so does his collection. This earned him a residency at Void in Manchester's gay village - an afterhours venue where he regularly played 3 - 4 hour sets of upfront funky and vocal house, through to the lighter side of hard dance. Dave was a resident for the whole 6 years of the club’s lifetime, and played the final set there on his birthday in 2020, when Void closed its doors for good. He continues to spend most weekends DJing for various events nationwide, and since 2021 he has played annually at the Unity In The Sun festival in Corfu. He also hosts a monthly podcast showcasing his label's releases as well his versatility as a DJ. 

In 2012 Dave went from being a Cheeky Tracks artist to co-owner of the label, and took full ownership of the brand in 2015. Under his ownership, he has established the label as one of the biggest selling independent labels in the hard house scene, consistently appearing in the top 10 across several download stores. 12 Cheeky Tracks releases were rated Hard Dance Tune Of The Month in Mixmag from 2014 to its final print edition in 2020.

Over 22 years after his DJ career began, Dave is showing no sign of slowing down and continues to go from strength to strength.  Whatever path Dave's career takes, you can be sure he will continue to do play music the way he believes it should be.... happy, uplifting and stomping!

"Dave is a fantastic DJ - easy to say he's one of the best. He's a real pleasure to work with" - Rob Tissera
