Confused Haus - FiDRoC

Confused House [House / Organic House / Nu-Disco Mix]

Amped up electronics with heavy ass grooves cranked up to eleven! Not suitable for vegetarians as it contains some seriously beefy beats!

Flanking Path Mix - FiDRoC

Accelerator [Electronic / Tech-House Mix]

First in a series of cranked up Tech-House mixes. Constructed from a blueprint of tight, rhythmic machine grooves, beefed up bass lines and hypnotic percussion. Strap in!

FiD's Bar Grooves - Volume Two

FiD's Bar Grooves - Volume Two [Nu-Disco Mix]

I cobbled this one together while sifting through the tracks I'd been blindly lobbing in my Deep-House crate without listening to properly. It turned out better than anticipated.

FiD's Bar Grooves - Volume Three

FiD's Bar Grooves - Volume Three [Nu-Disco Mix]

Slo-mo grooves for your slo-mo ass. The Chug is real ...

Admittedly this isn't the type of music I would normally play out in public but I've accumulated a lot of these 'low BPM' tracks over the years, none of which would comfortably slot into any of my normal sets. This turned out pretty good though ... a slick set to chill out / nap to.

Love the Machine - FiDRoC

Feed the Machine [Electronic / Tech-House Mix]

Do you remember House? It's a serious question worth pondering.

FiD's Bar Grooves - Volume Four [Nu-DIsco / Organic House Mix]

Boogie Monster - FiDRoC

Boogie Monster [Nu-Disco / Downtempo Mix]

An unadulterated, upbeat House mix laden with party vibes and topped with a light coating of fromage. Just in time for the Autumn

Chasing Sunshine Mix

Chasing Sunshine [House / Deep-House Mix]

This probably won't be for everybody but I've been meaning to record a Minimal Techno mix for a long time. A sparse soundscape of jagged angles and tight machine worked grooves.

Minimal Affection Mix

Minimal Affection [Minimal Techno Mix]

Don't be fooled by the name, this is a groove heavy Nu-Disco selection dripping in Funk and prone to veering off in odd trajectories to keep the listener on their toes. A nice varied selection that does have some unabashed Jazz flavourings in the mid section (in case anybody tries to invoke the Trade Descriptions Act) 

Noice!

Jazz Noir Mix

Jazz Noir [Nu-Disco / Neo Jazz Mix]

More beefy Funk Nuggets smothered in Nu-Disco sauce (it's quite tangy but don't spill it on your clothes as the stain is hard to remove). Half price admission to anybody with a full set of golden choppers!

Gold Teeth [Nu-Disco / Organic House Mix]

Fifth volume in the 'Jams for Classy Establishments' series.

It’s the usual assortment of Disco edits, Organic House and swollen Funk nuggets with the occasional foray into Italo to give it an electronic edge.

FiD's Bar Grooves - Volume 5 [Nu-Disco / Organic House Mix]

A mix dedicated to my occasional bouts of insomnia that DOESN'T INCLUDE THE TRACK 'Insomnia' (totally missed a trick there).

It’s an energetic, jacked up party starter of a mix that zips along at 127 BPM

There's a YouTube visualiser for it here: https://youtu.be/ZbEmDZNNTRw

No Sleep [Slumber Party House Mix]

A veritable smorgasbord of beefy Nu-Disco treats interspersed with a few tracks some might deem 'weird' topped off with a healthy smattering of avant-garde electronic tackle for good measure. It's a Mix for those that like their Grooves a bit more Dub inflected (and by that I mean there are occasional lingering echoes / reverbs that go on longer than they should)

There's a YouTube visualiser for it here: https://youtu.be/chrL1631dvo

High Together [Nu-Disco / Dub Flavoured Mix]

Tough yet Groovy. Jacked up to the nines yet Jazzy enough for the chin-strokers. Some tasty jams in this mix. Go listen

Superfun ... Uplifting [Jackin' House / Electronic Mix]

An uptempo Nu-Disco Jam that straddles the House divide at 126 BPM and keeps the velocity rolling. A few party favourites and long slept on bangers make an appearance too with the odd Electronic deviation thrown in for good measure. Decent!

Disko Wiener [Nu-Disco / House Mix]

House Music all night long Baby … no messing! A good set to get the Party started (but then aren't they all?)

House Head [Jackin' House Mix]

A grizzled veteran with a wealth of experience under his belt, FiDRoC was always the go-to guy when you just needed somebody to bang out the jams and get the party started. Now, after a lengthy hiatus, our weary protagonist has sniffed the air and sensed that the time is right to dust off his headphones and step out into the fray once more.

Edited highlights include a stint as the tour DJ for Manchester based chart botherers Mint Royale which took me the length and breadth of the UK and included a number of prestigious Festival slots. Besides holding down multiple residencies and making countless guest appearances in and around Manchester, I also got to crank it up in many legendary (and sadly missed) venues / events such as Sankeys Soap, Music Box and D-Percussion. Pirate Radio? Yep, I also played a part in polluting the airwaves in a series of illicit broadcasts transmitting from a Moss Side tower block.

I also maintained a long running monthly residency at the Light Bar in Shoreditch which regularly saw me hammering out 6 hour sets to wildly eclectic crowds.
