Mark Tillotson's Homoretro Mix

Piano Classics Volume 4 By Dj Jazza 2014

Time for another slice of funky house gems

Funky House Classics Vol 4

Jamie G Classic House Mix 88 - 89

The audio from Clockwork Orange at KOKO Sept 2015

04 Andy Manston - Clockwork Orange At KOKO Sept 2015

Mix six can best be described as a ‘classy sandwich’ – Namely a bunch of huge old-skool bangers top-and-tailed with some truly wonderful slices of pure unadulterated classy house music.

Things start with a little scratch intro and trick using Shaker Song as a background to Todd Terry’s classic Weekend followed immediately by the uplifting Some Kind Of Heaven by BBG. We build the classiness level with tracks by Degrees Of Motion, Juliette Roberts, Chicago Symphony and the monumental What Would We Do by DSK.

The classiness level is raised another significant notch as Someday by Ce Ce Rodgers does its thing, followed immediately by Strings Of Life by Rhythm is Rhythm and Break For Love by Raze  – Seriously that’s one heck of a classy 3-way...

Okay, meat in the sandwich time...  This is it back to back: Colour Me, Back In The Time, Okay, Alright, Stand Up, Come On, Keep Warm, You Drive Me Wild, Party Children, I’m Alright, Peace And Harmony, Dance With Me, The Lover That You Are, Club Lonely, and finally Playing With Knives - with a sneaky Everybody’s Free DJ trick thrown on top...  BOOM!

Returning to the final slice of classiness that tops this set off. I’m In Love by Sha’ Lor is a track that everybody in their lifetime should listen to. Take Me Away by True Faith is a track that everybody in their lifetime should shut their eyes and dance to. Move Your Body by Marshall Jefferson is a track that everybody in their lifetime should plain-out jump up and down to. And Better Days by Jimi Polo is a track that everybody in their lifetime should pay attention to.

Yum yum...

The Weekender Mix 06 - The Classy Sandwich - Elegant House and Bangers

Hands up. We know this mix is full of tracks before our 87-97 window. But as any wise man would tell you, we sometimes need to look backwards to understand the present. So, this mix is all about celebrating the foundations of our series by raising our adidas tracksuits and lino mats to those Electro and pioneering House B’Boys and B’Girls… 

The influence these artists have had on our classic decade of house music is massive. They deserve their place in this series and we hope you agree when you hear the opening bars of Live On Stage by Roxanne Shante.

Old-Skool Hip Hop, Electro, House and Breakdance are the important words here. Mantronix, Man Parish, Jungle Crew, Jungle Brothers, S-Express, MARRS, Steve Silk Hurley, Jack ‘n’ Chill and the NYC Peach Boys are the important paragraphs in the history of the house music we love so much – and they deserve to be read.

The second half of the mix speaks for itself and aims to pay tribute to those Electro innovators and their booming beatboxes, energising spirit and eye-watering and groin-splitting moves. We’d expect at least a few Elbow-Spins, Jackhammers, and the odd Windmill whilst listening… Me? I’ll be pulling off a One-Handed Chair Flare (go on… look it up…!)

And one final word, those who know their history will understand why the final track in the mix is there. Quite simply this instrumental from 1979 underpinned a whole generation of house music.

Could this be the greatest history lesson of all time…?

Who knows, I’ve just split me kecks...
