DJ set at the Ripsnorter Boat Party, Bristol on August Bank Holiday 2013. Anchors away, and a packed boat full of landlubbers set sail from Bristol's Waterfront on a voyage along its waterways out of the city, and back again. Quenching their thirst on ye olde Pod Punch, they set out upon their adventurous journey to these sounds, floating dreamily at first, yet, suddenly finding themselves scrubbing the decks with their dancing feet as we hit the higher waters, where a stormy, euphoric whip up brews!... and this was only the beginning!...

Ripsnorter Boat Party 24-08-13

Matt Abduction returns for part 2 of a series of DJ mixes, highlighting a variety of solid, road tested tracks from recent years, hailing from the worlds of House, Trance, Progressive and other beats and bass.

This time around, we start with some sounds on a progressive tip, easing up the tempo and tension as the mix winds along with the aid of some solid tunes. Using some clever edit tricks and beatmatching, the second hour seamlessly continues with a live DJ set taken straight from the mixing desk, recorded at a Halloween Party in St Davids Rugby Club in 2011! They do put the occasional tip top night on at this venue, featuring beats, breaks, bass and house music... This is one of those moments of Matt as a live DJ captured, and now shared! Enjoy!

APPLICATION
Ideal for getting the housework (or any kind of work) done, driving down the motorway (watch your speedo though!) or getting ready for the weekend. Apply liberally to the ear area, ensuring that the sound is clear, with a generous helping of bass.

WARNING - HANDLE WITH CARE! 
May cause a side effect known as Whip-Up... To remedy this side effect (ie; if needing to relax), simply counter the effect by immediately applying some nice chilled out sounds to the ear area.

Handle With Care - Mix 2

We are already at the 5th episode in a series of DJ mixes from Matt Abduction, highlighting a variety of solid, road tested tracks from recent years, hailing from the worlds of House, Trance, Progressive and other beats and bass.

This time around, we begin with a stonking epic builder of a track which paves the way for some very accessible dance music, as always, raising the tension as the mix progresses until we are dancing, or tapping our feet to some crunchier, darker, yet uplifting sounds towards the end of the mix, culminating in a Drum n Bass finale...

DJ Mix March 2011

Handle With Care - Mix 6

The 7th Mix in this series involved having a little dig around amongst some tracks from the last couple of years or so - to put together another upwardly grooving long player.
In what seems to be becoming a Handle With Care Mix guarantee, it's a bit of a creeper! Keeping a steady, more groovy pace for the first hour, things begin shifting up the gears in the second half when it's getting a little crazier!

Matt Abduction - DJ Mix December 1999

*** Now including an intro of the random "mention" by Ben from Devon of his stag do ending up at a "techno rave" in Bristol on BBC Radio 6 Radcliffe & Maconie show!***
I just had to find it and stick it on the beginning of this mix! :)

This is my Main Room opener from Acidic Sound System's excellent 12th Birthday Bash @ Area 81, Bristol on Sat 26th April 2014. It's got all sorts thrown in to the mix with the Acidic pedigree being the only criteria... So, plenty of bubbling acidic beats and dirty techno trance to boot! *PARENTAL ADVISORY - Contains references to sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and techno! Not suitable to play with your kids around please!*
So, why is Acidic such a "top night", as Ben says? Well, having a busy dancefloor building up within 5 minutes of opening simply says it all for me! It was superbly relentless from its 10pm start to 7am finish with the typical smiley Acidic vibe from its loyal following. Well done Matt Acidic & Crew on pulling off another spectacular with top performances from all jocks and a mental lighting and laser combo throwing shapes on the dancefloor with the open minded, up for it crowd! Nice one everyone!
It was touch 'n' go for a while whether I could rescue the mix off my old portable minidisc player I took along to the gig, and stick it all back together from 2 discs at home, but the mission was successful, and the sound has been beefed up! Not only that, but to take it just a little more than the 2 hour mark, I've mixed in the emergency tracks that I would've used if I'd had to play on for any reason! Take that as a bonus for having to wait nearly 2 weeks for this! :)
