Parks & Wilson Live at the Eclipse Coventry 1990/1991, one of those tapes you played over and over again, legendary mixing of uplifting house tunes from 90/91by the not so famous DJ's Parks & Wilson, this mix is in my opinion one of the best ive ever heard of uplifting house and will always be pride of my collection.

Here's my live mix from ARK back in June 1993.

This is my half of a recorded night myself and Gary Norman did together. 

This was discovered on an old skool website recently. The mix was done on Technics 1210s  using good old vinyl. Enjoy!

Here's another live recording of mine from ARK found on the internet. 

There's some dodgy mixing now and then but some classic tunes and scratching here too.

Thanks to James Patrick McCarvill on facebook for letting me know that this mix is from the 8th November 1991 ;-)

Please get in touch if you have anymore classic ARK mixtapes of mine and i'll post them on here for people to download.

Enjoy!! ;-)
