Mick Walsh - Gravity 16 Side A

Democracy 3rd Birthday Tony De Vit 1

An absolute peach of a mix, very like Trade Vol 1,...and then it just keeps on going!.. A proper banger! Absolutely wicked,,,all it says on the tape is Tony de Vit  Live mix  Nov 95 [it`s definitely live, in a club] I haven`t pitched it up or down, it`s exactly as it plays on the tape. Turn it right up and annoy the neighbours. It`s extremely rare, download it, share it, enjoy it!  All I ask is that it`s not to be "re-mastered" and sold on ebay etc, capiche? [I have marked both sides btw lol] In my view, all rights belong to the de Vit family.

01 - Tony de Vit  Live mix  Nov 95  pt 1

From 97, a wicked early morning @ Trade style set. It just rolls on and on in a groove, just the way early mornings in Trade used to. Seriously, you won`t find this anywhere!

Andy Farley Taster - Pure Promo Mix

A truly brilliant mix recorded live at Passion. Very rare. The label says 1996, judging by the tunes I`d say early 96, poss late 95. The tune selection, programming and mixing is really, really exemplary. Listen and learn!  I did my best with the sound quality, trust me! Headphones on, turn it up loud, ignore the hiss, enjoy the craft that went into such a wicked set. As always, there are 2 parts, play both,...and dance around the room,...you will,..deffo!

Tony de Vit [& JPW] Passion  Part 1

Mid Jan 98, from Kiss 100.. It was the last one in a series of 10 [I only have 7 of them] so he turns the wick up just a little bit more and really goes for it. Just an awesome set, pure Pete Wardman. Tough and chunky and even when the music goes proper hard, there`s more than enough melody and spacey tunes to lighten the mood and give you a chance to catch your breath before the next onslaught. That`s what he does best. Listen to what he does with a random tune and the acapella of Twisted,..awesome,..very tricky, trust me, I`ve tried! And the intro to Snap!,..then it goes really special, really gorgeous tunes,..then `ave some. What a fucking DJ!   Excuse the gaps for the ad breaks, I taped it off the radio at the time,,..who knew? The cover photo is the last ever one I took in Trade in Turnmills, when the lights went up, Pete was playing at the time so I thought it was entirely appropriate. As always, in 2 parts, at the end of part 1, give it 10 seconds and part 2 will load automatically. Turn it up!!!  No,.. way louder than that ffs!!

Pete Wardman live at Trade # 7 Pt 1

Lots of early in the night Trade tunes, really great funky, chunky tracks. A studio mix that captures the time of the night between Steve Thomas finishing and Tony coming on, with a few housey elements thrown in, so it doesn`t go too bonkers. I`m guessing mid to late 95. Juicy was label that did mixtapes at the time, this is one of six of Tony`s ones. Short and sweet, only an hour long, turn it up and enjoy. In 2 parts, once part 1 finishes, give it about 20 seconds and part 2 will load automatically.

Tony de Vit  Juicy 3  Pt2

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

You definitely wouldn`t have heard this before, only 45 mins, this is proper rare, nice and early, from about late 94 /early 95. [Correction, the cognicenti have put it early / mid 93!] Second half of one of Tony`s sets. It`s definitely Tony as Ian M has verified it. [I thought it was Ian as it was so tough] He said that Tony was the only one with the balls to play No Women Allowed in Trade at that time lol. Tough as nuts, get used to it, another piece of the jigsaw. Wow!  Many thanks to Barry Williams for the tape x  Apologies in advance for the stolen Trade photo x

RETRO FAVOURITES   Oldskool 92 - 96

The Night Continues.......

Recreating the vibe of the Olympic Ballroom Dublin theses mixes are a simulation of one final Goodbye party that never was, with the resident DJ's  Gerry Carey and Mark Kavanagh (simulated) bringing you the vibe and energy of the Olympic Ballroom that was open 1990 - 1994. 
A five part mix with our DJ's playing one final goodbye party taking to the Decks for the final (the night that never was) all nighter farewell to the Olympic which would have been around March 1994 if it had taken place. 
In this Mix DJ Gerry Carey finishes his epic 6 hour set bringing it up a gear.
A lot of these tunes were being played right up until the end Of the Olympic mostly from 1993 and 1994 and will be known to people familiar with Gerry's sets at the time. 

Also in this mix it shows the strength of dance music in Dublin at the time with 2 of my all-time favourite Irish house tacks with Liam Dollard's Mad Sound Disease - Moonboom and Dave McDonnell's Mind Over Matter - Jacob's Ladder both absolute Ballroom anthems......

Enjoy....
