KTI045 - Base Graffiti - Band Saw Suzy

This is my live stream mix for John West Wednesday on 9/11/22.

I've got a new controller, so I'm still learning to drive it, but it was a pleasure to mix on this lovely new bit of kit.

I had no time to prepare my set, so it's completely off the cuff, but I think it turned out alright.

I hope you enjoy this mix which errs more on the side of funky, chunky and uplifting hard house.

Emptying The Vault Vol. 2 - Hard House

http://sonicrampage.org/blog/2009/04/pearsall-presents-twist-shake-new/

Happy Friday!

This was originally recorded back in 2009, and here's the description I wrote then:

"This is the first in a series of three hard house mixes that I am doing. Unlike the tributes to Karim and Dom Sweeten that I did several months ago, these are general hard house/nu-nrg mixes, featuring material from across the five years from 1999 to 2004 that I was an avid buyer of UK hard house. Since I am selling off virtually all of my hard house records via Discogs, these mixes are a kind of keepsake for me, so that I can still listen to some of my favourite tunes after they have been sold."

TASCAM DR-07MK2

1993/1994 Jungle Tekno/Jungle mix vol. 2 (jungle tekno/jungle)

Fundamentalizm - Disc Two - Live From Heaven (London)

Pranksterz - Fundamentalizm

A mix that was part of my 'Detectives' series, where I named my mixes after some of my favourite shows from my childhood. Not sure why I did that, but I guess it made sense at the time!

Trawling through my hard drive I realised that this has never been uploaded, so only folks who got a CD off me back in the day would have heard this. It was recorded off vinyl in the early 2000s - I reckon maybe 2003, but I could be wrong. My memory of that era ain't too hot!

It's mostly a hardhouse / NRG mix, but there's also a bit of hard techno and crossover techno chucked in too. As with most of my hardhouse mixes, it gets pretty full-on - bosh bosh bosh!

I am DJ Skelp aka JD Pleks aka Span Decks. I am a DJ based in Glasgow, Scotland, and have been DJing since 1997. I started off back then (as everyone had to) as a vinyl DJ, cutting my teeth on hardcore and trancecore. After a (hazily) memorable night at Wilkie House in Edinburgh where the headliner was the late, great Tony De Vit I decided that my future lay in hardhouse. I quickly discovered that I (unsurprisingly given my penchant for hardcore, death metal and punk) was drawn to the harder end of the (very wide) hardhouse spectrum. Over the next few years I played my uncompromising sets filled with the hoovers of producers like Karim, RR Fierce, Paul Glazby, Eufex and OD404 at some of Scotlands best hard venues like Joy, Drum, Calton Studios, The Venue etc. as well as getting regular fun trips to places like Amsterdam (to play for HQ at Melkweg), Northern Ireland (Subculture at Bar 15) and London (Milk, Zoology, Redtrip). A few residencies were picked up and dropped along the way for events such as Ivy, Rampage, Hard Attack and Factor 9. Also during this time I co-ran a very enjoyable night in a pub basement in Aberdeen, which we called Triple Bass, and there we had the freedom to play anything we wanted, when we wanted. It was the only place where you might hear gabba at 9pm and prog trance at 10!

I was never one for sticking to one genre of music, so I found that even through the height of the hardhouse era, I kept finding myself at techno nights and buying the odd techno track and fitting them into my sets where possible. The size of my techno collection grew steadily, until I found myself buying as much techno as I was hardhouse. At this time I started to get a few pure techno bookings and then in 2005 began what turned out to be my favourite residency ever, Dan-Sin in Aberdeen. Here I played only techno every month, and it was brilliant – great crowds, great atmosphere and great people I worked alongside. Some people would turn up expecting hardhouse, so I decided to adopt my sometime alter-ego JD Pleks as my stage name when playing techno, keeping DJ Skelp only for the hard stuff! At Dan-Sin, I got to play alongside some of the most talented DJs in the emerging East European scene like Umek, Marko Nastic and Valentino Kanzyani. After 2 years we wound up the night on our second birthday with none-other than Dave Clarke. What a way to go!

In the last fewyears I have been concentrating on my real career (something has to pay the bills) but have kept on DJing when I can, and have now gone fully digital, utilising Serato DJ Pro. I find that this allows me the freedom to take all my music to every gig, and I don’t have my back broken carrying a record box! I have also been experimenting with other forms of music, and have begun a new project under the name of Span Decks, where I play 80s music mixed and mashed using Serato. 

I am available for hire in any of my guises, just give me an email to chris(at)djskelp(dot)com
