ROB TISSERA - WPG & HARDCORE UPROAR 25th ANNIVERSARY PARTY

The second mix in the series follows on from where the first left off – keeping the tunes firmly in the big and classic category. 

They don’t get much bigger than the Fingers Inc ‘My House’ acapella being used to kick things off and introduce the all-time classic Where Love Lives by Alison Limerick. It’s then piano heaven as back to back roof-raisers are dropped from Off Limits, Pierre Feroldi, The Badman and the infamous Techno Age / Young MC / Jinny trick – a real classic from back in the day – even if I say so myself!

They continue to come thick and fast as the Love 91 version of Playing With Knives does its thing followed by established old-skool anthems Found Love, JJ Tribute, Sounds of Eden and Anthem by N-Joi flow in and out of the set.

After the flashback inducing Insanity by Oceanic, the mix takes a step back in time via out-and-out party anthems from Don Pablo’s Animals, Bizz Nizz and the classic Acid Rock from Rhythm Device. Timeless hymns such as The Phantom and Al Naayifish do their gorgeous thing before the set heads firmly back to the Chicago house roots of where it all began with Lil Louis’ French Kiss and Joe Smooth’s Promised Land.

It’s not long before the DJ tricks return with the Hardcore Uproar / Rock The House trick that still gets the approving nod from those in the know.

After the wonderful Todd Terry mix of Loving You Like Crazy by Corina, the Sasha mix of Came Outa Nowhere signifies things are drawing to a close. The First Rhythm / Always There trick still sounds great today as proceedings are wrapped up with Kid N Play and their absolute monster 2 Hype.

Wow, that was fun...!

The Weekender Mix 02 - Keep ‘Em Coming - More Classic Pianos and Vocals

Number five remembers those nights where nothing but a hands-in-the-air piano would do - you might be able to tell that from its first track! But as you know this mix series is not about being that bleedin’ obvious, so number five also tips its baseball cap to those soulful and maybe lest well-known piano classics. Remember DJ Fopp and the underground anthem What You Gonna Do? If you do, you’re in the right place... And if not, open your ears - you’re still in the right place!

So after the bouncy I Say Yeah by Secchii, we drop the huge floor-filler A Deeper Love by Clivillés and Cole and their Music Factory. Things don’t get much bigger than Reachin’ by Phase II, or much bigger than Don’t You Want To Be Mine by Denise Lopez, or much bigger than Finally by Ce Ce Peniston, or having said that, much bigger than Faith In The Power Of Love by Rozalla – You get the idea, these are feel-good back-to-back piano choons at their very best.

The words ‘Thick’ and ‘Fast’ spring to mind as My Love by Collapse, You Used To Salsa by the legend that is Richie Rich and Elevation by Xpansions flow in and out of the mix.

As the set progresses things retain that uplifting piano vibe but wander a little off the beaten track with tracks you might not know but that still deserve their place in the mix from Hi Liner, Rodeo Jones, Neon Light, Mimmo Mix, the Rapino Brothers and Rebound amongst others.

The massive Kites by Ultraviolet should take you back to a place you’re familiar with, quickly followed by Urban Soul and the huge Sasha remix of Alright. 

After the soulful Do What You Feel by Joey Negro and Do It by Oval Emotion the set is brought to a close by the beautiful Compulsion by Zenana and equally beautiful Follow Me by Aly-Us.

Heart of stone if you don’t enjoy this one – either that or you were born in 2001... :)

Have fun!

The Weekender Mix 05 - Hands in the Air, Soul in the House…

Mix six can best be described as a ‘classy sandwich’ – Namely a bunch of huge old-skool bangers top-and-tailed with some truly wonderful slices of pure unadulterated classy house music.

Things start with a little scratch intro and trick using Shaker Song as a background to Todd Terry’s classic Weekend followed immediately by the uplifting Some Kind Of Heaven by BBG. We build the classiness level with tracks by Degrees Of Motion, Juliette Roberts, Chicago Symphony and the monumental What Would We Do by DSK.

The classiness level is raised another significant notch as Someday by Ce Ce Rodgers does its thing, followed immediately by Strings Of Life by Rhythm is Rhythm and Break For Love by Raze  – Seriously that’s one heck of a classy 3-way...

Okay, meat in the sandwich time...  This is it back to back: Colour Me, Back In The Time, Okay, Alright, Stand Up, Come On, Keep Warm, You Drive Me Wild, Party Children, I’m Alright, Peace And Harmony, Dance With Me, The Lover That You Are, Club Lonely, and finally Playing With Knives - with a sneaky Everybody’s Free DJ trick thrown on top...  BOOM!

Returning to the final slice of classiness that tops this set off. I’m In Love by Sha’ Lor is a track that everybody in their lifetime should listen to. Take Me Away by True Faith is a track that everybody in their lifetime should shut their eyes and dance to. Move Your Body by Marshall Jefferson is a track that everybody in their lifetime should plain-out jump up and down to. And Better Days by Jimi Polo is a track that everybody in their lifetime should pay attention to.

Yum yum...

The Weekender Mix 06 - The Classy Sandwich - Elegant House and Bangers

Hands up. We know this mix is full of tracks before our 87-97 window. But as any wise man would tell you, we sometimes need to look backwards to understand the present. So, this mix is all about celebrating the foundations of our series by raising our adidas tracksuits and lino mats to those Electro and pioneering House B’Boys and B’Girls… 

The influence these artists have had on our classic decade of house music is massive. They deserve their place in this series and we hope you agree when you hear the opening bars of Live On Stage by Roxanne Shante.

Old-Skool Hip Hop, Electro, House and Breakdance are the important words here. Mantronix, Man Parish, Jungle Crew, Jungle Brothers, S-Express, MARRS, Steve Silk Hurley, Jack ‘n’ Chill and the NYC Peach Boys are the important paragraphs in the history of the house music we love so much – and they deserve to be read.

The second half of the mix speaks for itself and aims to pay tribute to those Electro innovators and their booming beatboxes, energising spirit and eye-watering and groin-splitting moves. We’d expect at least a few Elbow-Spins, Jackhammers, and the odd Windmill whilst listening… Me? I’ll be pulling off a One-Handed Chair Flare (go on… look it up…!)

And one final word, those who know their history will understand why the final track in the mix is there. Quite simply this instrumental from 1979 underpinned a whole generation of house music.

Could this be the greatest history lesson of all time…?

Who knows, I’ve just split me kecks...

The Weekender Mix 08 - B’Boys and B’Girls In Da House

Mix ten follows on from where nine left off. It’s hot in here, we’re happy, everybody’s cool and the room is bouncing.

The legends that are Todd Terry, Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown start us of on this one before we hit the Ark Anthem Mix of Cry India. Things stay funky and vocal as the classic You Make The World Go Round from Sandy B washes over us before we hit the huge instrumental tracks from the Mighty Dub Catz and Direckt.

Arman Van Helden adds a touch of class through Tori Amos and Nuyorican Soul before the crowd-pleasers I Believe and 3 Is Family do their job. Kenny Dope adds his usual flair with The Bucketheads. We then hit the ceiling with the Lisa Marie Experience before the treasured sound of Bits & Pieces takes us one step further.

Things get twangy and funky before we hear More Kante and then the superb mash-up of Turn Me Out by Kathy Brown and Passion by Gat Decor. Josh Wink takes us over the edge before we are rescued by the gospel sounds of Judy Cheeks and the uplifting anthems that are Love Come Rescue Me and I Get Lifted.

The Fatboy Comes Alive mix of I’m Alright by Stretch and Vern finishes proceedings off with a bang. All you got to do now is get back to your mates’ flat to continue the party...

The Weekender Mix 10 - The Beautiful People Stay Out

Mix twelve sees the series continue where eleven left off – enjoying a little more time in the warehouses and service-stations of the Techno/Breakbeat/Hardcore scene of the early 90’s.

Things kick off with those Electro B-Boys, World Class Wreckin’ Cru and their track We Call Him Yella played at 45 rather than 33 to introduce the Son’z Of A Loop Da Loop Era classic, Far Out – another one of those little tricks from back in the day!

After a little classic meeeoww action provided by the Prodigy, the first use of the title ‘On A Ragga Tip’ hits the mix and is provided by the E-Lustrious boys. SL2 also get their first outing with Way In My Brain and then the sound of DJ’s U-Nite’ing can be heard with their classic stab anthem of the same name.

Next it’s clean up time as we hit the ‘hoover’ section. Classics such as Dominator, Rave Alarm and God Of Abraham guarantees things are all nice and tidy before we return to our friends Slipmatt and Lime with their second track in the mix, DJ’s Take Control.

We continue to take control as the BPM creeps up and undisputed back-to-back heavyweights are dropped in the mix in the form of Sweet Harmony by Liquid, Don’t Go by The Awesome 3 and It’s Just A Feeling by Terrorize. The roots of D&B can be found in Jonny L’s classic ‘Hurt You So’ before the BPM continues its journey north as we visit SL2 for a third time and their take on the aforementioned song title ‘On A Ragga Tip’. 

We then drop in on the likes of Elevation with their hands-in-the-air classic Can You Feel It, Tango with their heart-attack inducing Can’t Stop The Rush and the ground-breaking Dub War by Dance Conspiracy.

After a quick trip to outer space, things are wrapped-up by two of the era’s massive end-of-night vocal anthems - and just so we don’t finish on a predictable note, proceedings are concluded with the giants that are 808 State and their landmark track Cubik. 

...Whose got the Vicks?

The Weekender Mix 12 - Ravers Don’t Go Home Early

Mix fourteen sees us go deep into the record box – and when we say deep, we mean it. 

The mix sees us pulling out some of those rare white, blue and pink vinyl pressings, along with those more ‘warm-up’ tracks that were the stable of any good set back in the day. To be up-front about it, we don’t think this one will be for everyone. Having said that though, if you love this period we think you’ll still have more than a few grin-laden flashbacks...

Things kick off with one of those ‘start-of-the-set’ tracks from the Vision Masters featuring some obscure Ozzie songstress that didn’t really make it. The next 4 or 5 get things going and are all about that funky feel-good, hands-on-the-air ‘where’s that sample from?’ feeling.

Things then go a bit groovy and ‘disco’ as we hear from the BBR Streetgang, D.O.P., Freaky Baby, Hustlers Convention, Disco Citizens and the Men From Mars – all of them rockin’ and groovy beats...

As you know any good DJ will take you on a journey. They will play with energy and in doing so they’ll bring things up and take them down. This section of the set focuses on those tracks that take things down just a notch, but that still do their own thang. Tracks that bring groove and harmony to the night and the kind of tracks that underpin any great set. In this section we’re funkin’ things, drivin’ things, droppin’ things, swingin’ things – You name it, anything to build that wonderful vibe...

As we progress through the set, things are wrapped up with a couple of big-ones in the shape of the Pascal Bongo Massive and their track Pere Cochon, Maria Van-Rooy with the Sasha remix of Let You Go and Love Decade with their undisputed classic I Feel You.

If you’re reading this you must be a connoisseur – we salute you. 

Enjoy the mix!

The Weekender Mix 14 - One for the Connoisseur…

Fourteen and Fifteen went ‘deep’ into the record box. Sixteen sticks with the theme of ‘deep’ but from a different angle as we venture into the world of ‘deep-house’, diva vocals and some massive main-room choons! And of course we’re keeping sixteen sweet all the way...

The extremely rare and exquisite ‘Sacred’ mix of Everything by Sarah Washington kicks things off with the soulful vibe that underpins the tone of the set. This is followed quickly by a bunch of amazing vocalists in Shawn Christopher, Jomanda, Shiva, Eve Gallagher and Latanza Waters – If you don’t know then all yet, you will grow to love them. Trust me.

The mix then heads into the main room with truly massive floor-fillers from Harddrive, Lil’ Mo’ Yin Tang, Heller and Farley, Liberty City, Amos, Ken Doh, Nush and Sara Parker – A glamorous line-up for glamorous times.

As the set develops a couple more obscure tracks are dropped in the mix from Paterson & Price and Rhyme Time Productions before the set hits you with undisputed heavyweights in the shape of Tin Tin Out and their track ‘The Feeling’ and Atlantic Ocean with the their undisputed world champion, ‘Waterfall’.

Returning to our soulful vibe that started things off, the mix is wrapped up with the undeniable global anthem that is ‘Your Loving Arms’ by Billie Ray Martin and the jaw-dropping and simply beautiful Boys Own mix of Perfect Motion by Sunscreem.  

If rhythm’s a drug, I’m hooked on you...

The Weekender Mix 16 - A Glamorous Line-Up for Glamorous Times…

Nineteen is unashamed, unabashed and unrepentant old-skool stomping chunkiness. It’s noisy; it’s a little bit trancey; it rocks; it’s feel-good and it has energy. It is also rather plump, somewhat meaty and very, very tasty...

Things kick off with how slim people can turn into fatboys with a visit from the Pizzaman and the massive Trippin’ On Sunshine. Homeboy’s, Hippies and Funki Dredds dominate the mix and dominate track two of the set with the legendary Total Confusion. The Project, Dirty Mind, Hardfloor, Opal and Piece Of Mind raise the temperature with builds, crescendos and drops that’ll make your eyes water and your jaw tremble.

One of two tracks in the mix proving that artists and producers of the time had a sense of humour comes in the shape of The Badman and their take on The Magic Roundabout with Magic Style. Zebedee and friends would be ‘on it’ as the set continues to bounce, jump and stomp with tracks from Escrima, Empirion, Nostalgia Freaks and New Atlantic to name but a few.

The mix then takes more of a ‘mainstream’ route with huge anthems from DJ Supreme, The Ethics, Love Revolution and DJ Flavours – ‘mainstream’ in this collection meaning huge goosebump inducing classic floor-fillers – oh yeah!

To bring the mix home the BPM is cranked up as massive tracks from Manix, Dream Frequency, Subliminal Cuts, Hyperlogic and Dharma Burms draw things to a close. The set is then wrapped up by our second less serious toon in the shape of Rainbow from Solo. 

I think we all met a few Zippy’s, George’s and Bungle’s back in the day...

Enjoy the flashbacks kids...

The Weekender Mix 19 - Positive Stomping

Twenty continues from where Nineteen left off – that’s firmly in Stomppping territory – and yes that was stomppping with 3 p’s...

Proceedings are kicked off with the massive Espiral by Dunne, the huge Bass Bins at Dawn mix of Let Me Hear You Say Yeah by PKA and the sound of Wood Allen and Co-Imperial – and that’s all before the Italian techno crew Cappella take us all away with the legendary Loleatta Holloway – Ladies and Gents we can confirm Stomppping has begun…  

Tracks from Rhythm Section, Pink Noise and Bedrock do their thing and lift energy levels of the set before we drop into a bunch of uplifting hands-in-the-air nailed-on classics - Such A Feeling from Bizarre Inc, So Real from Love Decade, Temperature Rising from PKA and Never Let Go by Hyper Go Go surely need no introduction for any aficionado of the period!

After such highs, the mix then takes a little bit of darker, dubbier and trancey path as sacred head-nodders from Usura, Moonchild, Taiko, Modular Expansion and Age of Love all do their spiritual thing before one of the absolute classics of the period drops into the mix in the shape of Energy 52 and their Three ‘n’ One Remix of Cafe Del Mar. And if that wasn’t enough, to round this section of the set off, the Mooncat theme tune that is Get Up, Go Insane will surely require the purchase of some new stomppping shoes…

As the mix draws to a close and the BPM slowly increases we head back into uplifting piano territory with the legendary Liberation by Liberation, Closer To All Your Dreams by Rhythm Quest, LA Rock 01 by Vitalic and Perfect Day by Visions of Shiva to name but a few.

To close the set, the Chill Mix of Come On by Solo seems an appropriate antidote to over 2 hours of stomppping.

You might just loose a few pounds to this one…

The Weekender - 48 Hours in the History of House 87-97

The Weekender Mix 20 - Even More Positive Stomping

DJ Flys X1 - VOCAL TRANCE - D (DJ Set Mix)

As the Weekender mission draws to its close with the penultimate mix, we realised something had been keeping us awake at night… How can we have something called the History of House from 87-97 without the legends that are Masters At Work so far in the series? Well, 23 fixes that with a set that dons its cap to the soulful vibe of New York City and the influence those pioneers had on us over here in Old Blighty…  

We know that not everyone understands House music, and that it’s a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing - and as the bassline from To Be In Love drops into Eddie Amador’s House Music, we think you’ll get it. Yep, we’re up and running people.

Nobody surely can complain with back-to-back vocals from India, and MAW’s remix of River Ocean’s, Love & Happiness is testament to this. Three tracks in and two Master At Work productions down see us lay the foundations for a run of back-to-back deep-house anthems from Ideal, Roach Motel, Underground Solution and Inner City to name a few.  A little burst of energy is injected by the fantastic Serial Diva Paris Is Burning Club Mix of Inner City’s, Your Love followed by Barbara Tucker’s Beautiful People, and Ruffneck’s Everybody Be Somebody – deep house at its foundations…

As the set progresses, Tears by Frankie Knuckles surely has to stand out as a bona-fide all-time classic, with the third Masters At Work production, I Can’t Get No Sleep not far behind. And yes, that paragraph did miss out classic and rare tracks from the likes of Ladycop, Funky Green Dogs, C&C Music Factory and our second track from Inner City…

As the set heads to its conclusion the pace and energy is picked up with absolute vocal belters from Future Force, Judy Cheeks and Sarah Washington, as well as instrumental crackers from Sueno Latino, Alfredo; and somewhere in the middle, the excellent Fever Called Love by Rising High Collective.

The set closes with a couple of real classics; the first from Farley Jackmaster Funk; the second the On The House classic, Pleasure Control…

But as Grace told us a couple of tracks ago, It’s Not Over Yet.

And it isn’t - One more to go folks…
