Vinyl from The Box Vol.2 (Hard House 1998 - 2001)

A Commemorative CD given away at the last Trade event at Turnmills on the 26th October 2002.  I was one of the very few people to get a copy of this amazing CD.  On the last days of Turnmills, Trade was given a new home at Egg near Kings Cross, London.  The cover of the CD showing Trade leaving Turnmills with the moon being in the shape of an egg where Trade would now live.  This CD was for promotional use only but I believe it needs to be heard by all hard house fans.

Trade Station To Station - EJ Doubell - CD1

A beautiful slice of history, and a permanent reminder of just how good Pete Wardman and Trade was [and still is] He brought it down at the start, then after nearly 12 hours on the floor, with the sweat pouring off us, the set went into orbit and finished with TdV [doubled up!] at over 165bpm The phazeing [flangeing?] isn`t post production, it was done on the night. Still, to this day, the most intense musical experience I`ve ever had. It`s a 17 year old tape, forgive the gaps for the ad-breaks taken out, worse still the ones left in but what can you do? Just enjoy it and remember the good times, that`s what!!....Absolutely incredible,..a thing of beauty is a joy forever. [Keats]

Pete Wardman live at Trade 3 Part 2

A really nice mix from about late 97, a lovely progression through all of the current flavours of the time. A bit of trance, a bit of chunky HH, bit of high camp, lots of Trade classics. Then you`ll know when he gets serious with the harder house and Hard Trance. As I`ve said for years, he wasn`t just a HH DJ, he played a bit of everything. This is a really nice example of this. It also has the only examples of Tony touching a record to keep it in time. Somebody must have kept talking to him as it was a definite no-no for him to do it. Plenty of surprise tunes, crank it up, loud!!  No,. louder than that!!   In 2 parts so play both sides, you`ll be glad you did!

Steve Thomas, Tony De Vit & Pete Wardman live @ Trade South Africa

2 days after the 17th year anniversary of Tony's passing away.
Crazy Daisy's Summer festival was taking place.
Tony was a massive part of success that Crazy Daisy's was in the 90's and held firm regular slots over a few years in the peak of the Crazy Daisy's rise in clubland.  
Being a good friend of Tony's I felt it fitting to play the final set of 
the event as a tribute to Tony and the sound he pushed in that special era at Daisy's. 
And this tribute was reinforced double fold as fitting when original owner Kate Marsden and Resident Jay G made me aware how pinnacle Tony's first ever set at Crazy Daisy's was to the success the club then become. 
He did for Daisy's what he pretty much went on to do in every club he walked in and played around that time. Went in and raised the bar, the energy and excitement and made the die hard followers of a brand crave him more and more. 
This mix is a very good reflection of the sound Tony tended to play at Daisy's, and how i remembered it.
Hope you enjoy the tribute to a very special one off man.

After listening back to this recording, i am gonna re-do this set again at home and replace this file. We had a lot of sound issues at the venue, with noise abatement officers changing levels all through the set. So you can hear drops in volume and quality throughout the mix. But it's still good enough for the next couple of days. :)

Various Artists - Trade Love Parade CD2

Father, husband, maths teacher, special needs coordinator, assessor of learning difficulties and sometime DJ

 I like to incorporate lots of varieties of house music in my sets, re-editing and remixing tracks in the mix using samples and loops.


History: 

 I started DJing in 1997 on 2 belt driven decks that I bought 2nd hand. I was into dance music from an early age and was a frequent visitor to many a dance floor with a harder age (Sunnyside Up, Final Frontier, Trade, DTPM, Melt, Twisted, Sunflowers, Strawberry Sunday, Gardening Club & of course my local friday night in oxford with Graham Gold as resident, and saturdays at the Coven, where Sunnies residents were regular guests)

By 1998 I had moved to London where I was lucky enough to have a girlfriend (now my wife) and her brother who were willing to buy me 2 Technic 1210s to try and help me break into the DJ circuit.
I was fortunate to get offered a DJ residency round the corner from Turnmills,  just when Fabric was being built ,which gave me the opportunity to break into the London club scene, predominantly playing tracks with a harder, funky edge. 
By the summer of 1999, I'd relocated  to Ibiza, holding down a residency at Bar Zuka in Ibiza Town and played in Privilege  in the back room on Manumission Mondays.

When back in the UK between 2001 and 2007 I co-ran the Futur and Sunday Brunch (with my best mate and DJ partner Nick Scott) clubs in Oxford, playing a more progressive and funky sound.

House music for me is everything. It's what I listen too to motivate me, cheer me up, remind me of the good times and look to the future.

Most of the mixes available to download are from 2012 onwards, but I have included some older ones.
I pretty much enjoy mixing all forms of house music so you'll find all sorts of syles of music.
I love mixing up old favourites as much as  new material.
