Just in time for your weekend I have my April Upfront & Personal guest!

Gideön is co-founder and creative director and musical curator of Block9 at Glastonbury Festival. It is the worlds largest greenfield festival and home to Block9’s underground queer nightlife institutions NYC Downlow, Genosys and IICON.

in 2017 he booked me for my biggest gig of my career so I'm really happy to add him to my exclusive collective of artists, hope you enjoy the listen <3

GIDEON - UPFRONT & PERSONAL - APRIL 22!

A live recording form the first Back in the Day daytime party, in not so sunny LA, Stoke-on-Trent, and what a day it was!

I tried to capture some of the sounds of Ibiza in days gone by, and the intro is a nod to DJ Alfredo, the originator of the Balearic Beat, who often played the Pink Panther theme when mixing between different genres in the nightclubs of Ibiza in the 1980's and 90's.

Dance....... while you can.........

BITD LIVE 

Ibiza Classics 1/5/22

What do you get when you have 2 dope Puerto Rican DJ/Remixers/Producters. One with a Latin Hip Hop & Freestyle background & thee other str8 up Hip Hop raw beatz... well if you haven't guest by know, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm talking about Masters At Work aka Little Louie Vega & Kenny Dope Gonzalez. There is no music that they did that I was like, ah it'z ok... but more like what's this dope joint!!! At one point in my life when I used to go to record shops, if I saw a MAW or Little Louie Vega or Kenny Dope Gonzalez record. I wouldn't even listen to it cuz I knew it was going to be a jam.
Not to mention their remixes, where they can take a teen pop artist like (at the time) Debbie Gibson song & make it into a str8 up underground house stomper. 
Man I can go on & on but I'll stop here as we go 20 yrz back with this Masters At Work live mix on Hot 97 Spins Out Of Control Radio Show.

YOU ARE GOIN' 2 DIG THIZ!!!

Warehouse Bounce #1 "I'll Be Your Friend"

Pete Rann makes a welcome return with a four track EP entitled 'Clockwork' containing a myriad of genres and unreleased material utilising his trademark synth work and arrangements.

'Spray Can Orchestra' is a mid-tempo breakbeat workout with a nod to the golden age of Hip-Hop and Graffiti. 'Cosmic Code' is a remix of an unreleased deep-house track from almost twenty years ago. 'Mind Control' is a remix of a previously unreleased downtempo track from the late nineties and the EP title track 'Clockwork' is one for the atmospheric drum and bass fans. Written in early 2000, it briefly appeared on a limited edition digital compilation but has never been officially released.

If you're feeling these mixes with full track lists primarily focused on the 90's U.K dance music scene feel free to follow and share!

The idea behind my page is to log and showcase the music that has influenced me over the last 35+ years so that my daughter, Ebony, can listen to ‘olden day’ music and hopefully appreciate how good we had it. 

Having learnt my craft in the late 80’s at the age of 12 and teaching myself how to beat match on 1200’s within a week, I felt I had a knack for this DJ’ing thing way before it became fashionable. I would class myself as quite a versatile DJ able to lend my hand to most genres. Hopefully all those years of bedroom mixing and house parties have paid off…but that’s up to you to decide. 

I attempt to capture a constant energy in my mixes regardless of genre and am always a firm believer that the mix is as important as the track itself. I endeavour to create seamless transitions whilst maintaining the energy. During longer mixes a welcome switch in style is sometimes required. In fact different genres warrant different styles of mixing, in my opinion. And monotonous sets do nothing for me. Up and down, peaks and troughs, it’s all about building the listener up and letting them down gently.

Never one to choose tracks based on their popularity or current chart position, I hand pick the tunes I mix because I think they’ll stand the test of time. The idea being that during any of my sets I can pick a point and know I’ll dig that track or mix. Although digitally digging isn’t as rewarding as finding physical vinyl records for me, it is a whole lot easier. That said there are a lot of below par tunes out there to sift through before finding worthy tracks. Then the set process begins…I just approach it as a musical jigsaw.

Anyway, enough about me. Whether you’re getting ready to go out for the night, cleaning the kitchen or in the car, turn it up, get in the groove and I hope you enjoy the vibes  😎
