DTPM at Bar Rumba as I remember it.
Voguers in front of the industrial fans, the ice crushing margarita machine, the parachute ceiling ... the music.

"In DTPM, conversation is restricted to two locations, the bar and the toilets, and three topics: who you're with, where you went last night, and what you're doing after this. Apart from that, it's all dance, dance, dance".

DTPM 1994-1996

DTPM at Bar Rumba . London 1994-1996

The opening track belongs to The Orb’s 2008 album ‘The Dream’, a short intro to the mix starting with ‘Les Nuits”, from one of my all time top 10 Warp album’s ‘Carboot Soul’ (1999). I couldn’t resist it and I have included another track from the same record, the gorgeous ‘Jorgé’, a bassline heaven. José González features on the 2005 album ‘Dualizm’ by the incredibly talented Jori Hulkkonen who was one of the first producers to spot the now popular singer song-writer. I first knew of Sian Alice Group when they opened for Florence and the Machine this year, they are quite an interesting and haunting band from London which have remixed a track by Choir of Young Believers, a danish guy called Jannis Noya Makrigiannis. Another record you should listen to if you haven’t done it yet, it’s Studio’s 2007 album ‘West Coast’, it’s wonderful. One of the members of this swedish duo is D. Lissvik who has done some of the coolest music in the past five years. Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve are Erol Alkan and Balearic man par excellence Richard Norris, who is also half responsible for the early 90s classic track ‘Floatation’ with Dave Ball (Soft Cell), just plain beautiful. The track they remixed here is by shoegaze band Midlake from their 2006 album ‘The trials of Van Occupanther’, highly addictive and one of the best remixes I’ve ever listened to. Ripperton’s ‘The Sandbox’ steps up the tempo a gear. His new album ‘Niwa’ is an essential buy for the current year. ‘Last night’ by Pompougnac is extracted from a Pschent sampler that celebrated Midem’s 40th Anniversary in 2006. More current tracks come by Crystal Fighters and Beth Ditto from The Gossip joining forces with Simian Mobile Disco. ‘In the summer’ remix is outstanding and so far unreleased while the genius of Maurice Fulton polishes ‘Cruel Intentions’ to perfection. This is the first mix of the 2010 sessions forthcoming on soundcloud. Enjoy the rest of the summer.


Balearic Mix 2010

Club Mix 2010

Mainly active in the 90s and 00s. Better known for his weekly London residencies at DTPM (The End/Fabric) and Fiction (The Cross).

Miguel Pellitero’s love-affair with DJ boxes started in the early 90s after playing at seminal clubs Revolver and Morocco, while working at Onda Madrid FM.

By the mid decade, after re-locating to London, Miguel’s own club night at the Velvet Room (also home to Carl Cox’s ‘Ultimate Bass’) was such a success that DTPM (recently moved to The End club) asked Miguel to join their team of resident DJs (Smokin’ Jo, Luke Howard, Alan Thompson, Malcom Duffy, Steve Thomas, Princess Julia and The Sharp Boys).

When The End’s new space opened, AKA, Miguel was also offered a weekly residency on which he was joined by Craig Richards, Satoshi Tommiie, Terry Francis and The End very own residents Layo & Bushwacka! among others.

By the new millennium DTPM had moved to a new venue, Fabric, and Miguel was included  in Mixmag magazine’s ‘Ten DJs for tomorrow’ alongside Danny Howells, Yousef, E-Z and DJ Marky. A new weekly Friday residency at The Cross will follow, as well as a monthly Saturday night at Ministry of Sound main room.

Shortly after, Miguel’s first compilation ‘The Deep and Funky Sound of Sunday’ for DTPM/Sony BMG went straight to the number 3 of the UK Compilation charts and he became a regular on the Ibiza scene playing at Pacha, Space, Privilege and El Divino.

Two years later ‘A decade’, his second compilation for DTPM/Sony BMG reached the number one of the UK Compilation charts, his Ministry of Sound Radio show ‘The Art of Sedition’ went from strength to strength and a worldwide tour followed.

Miguel regularly toured Europe and became a favourite at clubs like Billy at Amnesia (Milan), Piekarnia (Warsaw), Queen, RedLight and Le Mix (Paris), SQ (Poznan) and Pump (Miami) while sharing the DJ Box with François Kevorkian, Sandy Rivera, Chus & Ceballos, David Guetta, Jimpster, Murk and Tom Stephan, with whom he will record for Tribal America/Twisted Records as ‘Plastic Surge’, as well as releasing tracks on labels like Stereo Productions and Remote Recordings (Pure Groove Records) alongside Malcom Duffy.
