What a set this is fantastic ~ so chuffed to hear 1st symphony in this ✨🙏🏻💃✨🙏🏻💃✨

History Of My House Playlist (1987 - Present)

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

This mix covers all the different styles of house I was exposed to between 1992 & 1995 at the infamous Cultural Vibes events hosted in my home town at the Plymouth Warehouse in the U.K. Always pushing boundries with their amazing selection of upfront U.S house and early funky progressive cuts, these evenings were not to be missed!

History Of My House - Chapter 4 - 17-09-22 (90's Club Classics)

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!!!

May 1992

Kenny Ken - Test Mix - May 1992

Many people have different interpretations of what acid house is. I unfortunately missed the U.K scene by a few years so never got to live it but for me this mix epitomises what I would have wanted to hear. If you were lucky enough to live through the scene then hopefully you’ll find a moment that’ll take you right back to the dance floor.

For me the beauty of sets during the 87-90 era was never knowing if the next track would be an acid, techno, hip house or piano house track but you could pretty much guarantee it was gonna be a banger! I’ve tried to replicate that sequence throughout the set.

Many fresh edits and a few newer acid tunes are included to spice things up but as always I’ve tried to keep them as close to the originals as possible. Some tunes blatantly weren’t made during the era but fit it so well I just couldn’t resist.

With that in mind turn it up as this one’s mixed to make you move! Peace, Love & Unity! 😎

History Of My House - Chapter 1 - 01-08-20 (In The Beginning)

I’ve decided to remake my first ever and probably most popular house mix in glorious hi-fidelity sound originally recorded over 25 years ago. Many may regard this as the golden age of early 90’s house between 91-93 and no doubt you’ll recognise many tunes taken from various sets including Sasha at Universe - Pleasure Planet, probably the most popular house mix amongst UK ravers to date! For me, this is where my house journey began and I still draw a lot of influence from the early 90’s.

This one's loaded with classics throughout. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did mixing it 😎

LTJ Bukem - Gilles Peterson Worldwide BBC Radio 1 X Bar Rumba Live 18.07.2000

The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show on BBC Radio 1 currently broadcast between 0:00 - 2:00 AM UK time on Saturday morning. Originally broadcast on 30 October 1993, the Essential Mix features contemporary DJs and music producers of electronic dance music. The show has been presented since its inception by Pete Tong and features an uninterrupted two-hour mix from a different artist each week, overlaid with occasional continuity announcements delivered by Tong. With a broadcast run in excess of 25 years, the Essential Mix is one of the longest-running programmes in the current BBC Radio 1 schedule, and is one of very few Radio 1 shows which is not broadcast live.

Essential Mix 1997-08-31 - Felix Da Housecat

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  😎
