House

oldskool

Found this old mix i did back in 95/96 ish as a school kid. On my belt drive Soundlab decks. Proper fast bouncy happy hardcore. From the faded markings i think i can make out it was for a Magazine competiton where you sent a tape in! Eternity magazine maybe ?

1995/96 Happy Hardcore mix by me - Vintage recording found on cassette tape

Italian Madness 2.

One of the very best examples off mixing I've ever heard anywhere ever and a true insperation to myself ! 
I give you a certain DJ by the name off  Mark XTC (Mix Factory)
This was from Sequins in Blackpool...if anyone can pin point the exact year and month that'd be fantastic !

Mix Factory Live Sequins Blackpool circa 1991/92 at a guess

Telstar Records' range of Deep Heat compilations were one of the first House music collections to be released in the United Kingdom. Launching in March 1989 with the Number 1 album Deep Heat, the brand achieved a successful four-year run and set the footprint for dance music compilations for many years to come.
Here's a mix of my favourite tracks from the earlier (1989-1990) releases.

Originally from Shaw which is about 8 miles from Manchester..you know that little old city that gave the rest of the world the real house music scene to follow. Back into mixing and I'm now in a position to try and bring back real quality tunes to Australia and whoever else wants to listen to tunes that people actually really wana listen to..sing to..dance to and off course..get messy to...if desired ! I have a vast collection of proper classics from 87-94 ..that may give a people clue to my age and a not so miss-spent youth learning all about house music in its various forms. Will get more mixes up here as soon as I can...Just upgraded to a numark ns7 mk3..its the bomb !  
If you can afford one and you dont want to collect vinyl and have actual decks..I can def say..so far..its worth investing in..nearest thing I've seen since learning on 1210s back in day..only its missing a stylus !!! the only downside is it'll take me  about 3yrs to learn all its features ;)
