Here's my set from Sneak's House Party Birthday Beats 2023 Edition originally streamed via Monad Social on Nov 4th.

Sneak's studio never fails to inspire the true underground spirit and energy. Hope you dig it!

Sneak's House Party Birthday Beats Edition - Nov 4 2023

A live mix from Printworks, London, at a night celebrating 25 years of UK clubbing institution, Bugged Out!
I played for them many times for many years, as a resident, for some absolutely amazing nights.
The opportunity to play some far out tunes, because the crowd were so up for anything, was an amazing privilege.

This mix of 25 minutes (representing 25 years) has some of the biggest tunes that have a personal connection with my nights at Bugged Out!. It's a fast changing mix to get as many tunes into 25 minutes as possible, and there's some glittering classics and dirty gems here. This went down a storm that night.

25 Yrs Of Bugged Out!

Live at the Social Volume 2
"Seconds out, round two. Here come the hotstepper...
You know how the Social story goes. The Chemical Brothers took things to the 'next level', spending thirteen weeks blowing minds & rocking floors in a dank pub basement, mashing up breakbeats, old skool hip hop, acid house & wigged out rock 'n' roll to a crowd of 25 hour party people. The Albany days passed on into Heavenly history, as much a part of the equation as "Nothing Can Stop Us" or "Weekender" & moves were made onwards & upwards. Enter Jon Carter.
Jon Carter entered Social lore at The Albany, not behind the decks, but on the floor (in every sense). Jon was introduced to the club by regular face Mark Jones (the top boy in charge of the excellent Wall Of Sound label, becoming a full time bar fly at The Albany, moving from fresh faced to totally fucked every week. At the time, Jon was a studio engineer, working exclusively on jungle & dance hall tracks. Like so many of us, he got sucked into the whole Social thing - the weekend ends at 6 o'clock on Monday morning, two little birdies down & the biggest headache on the way. The week of the last Albany session, it was all back to someone's had been booted out. Since then, he's been one of the family. He'd made an odd little record for Wall Of Sound ("The Dollar", as Artery) which had the sound of a Social anthem in the making & he'd done a few DJing sessions back at people's houses after the club, blowing up ragga & bogle gear alongside Public Enemy, ZZ Top & The Jam. What was to come next was anyone's guess, which is probably why Heavenly got him on the pay roll.
At this point, Monkey Mafia was born. First came the rock 'n' roll freakbeat fest of "Blow The Whole Joint Up". Secondly, borrowing heavily from dance hall queen Patra, "Work Mi Body" arrived, seeing Jon settle into a groove previously untapped by man or woman. The 'Mafia wildstyle is radically different from the Chemicals (and, in turn, totally different to Mr. Fearless', but that's another compilation all together). The sound is best likened to that of a car full of Ganja'd up yardies driving into a brick wall at 5 o'clock on a Sunday morning while listening to Funkmaster Flex, The Who, The Bassbin Twins & Gregory Isaacs. It's a big summer sound that gets the sun shining, if only in your mind. It's Monday at Notting Hill Carnival, It's party music & it's a party that everyone's welcome to, the "all back to mine, let's wake up the neighbours" kind. It's a sound we've grown to love, like some mad kid you've adopted as one of your own. Much like Jon himself...

Those who have mattered... Tom & Ed Chemical; Jon Carter, Richard Fearless; Mark Jones; Brian, Beccy & all at The Albany; Ali; Frank Perkins; John & Danny Newman; Spence, Izzy & Will @ Lazy Eye; Johnny Chandler; Rory; Martje; Vanessa; Margo; Paolo; James Bailie"

With a career spanning more than two decades, Mike Bledsoe has been called a natural selection among many other names. While DJ, promoter, producer, and partier are all accurate titles they only serve to pigeonhole an artist who has spent his entire career shunning labels. Some may use the term renaissance man, but perhaps purveyor of all things electronic would be more accurate. A shapeshifting performer with strong genre-bending capabilities, Mike is equally adept at providing pumping house beats, after-hours techie vibes, and bass heavy breakbeats to crowds from Cape Town, South Africa to LA. Well established in the international underground electronic music community, Mike has uplifted crowds in 2 continents and 25 US states alone. He currently holds a monthly residency at San Francisco's Barbarella, a weekly at Innjoy in Chicago, and is touring nationwide.

Keeping with the Purveyor moniker, Bledsoe has production releases on labels Subwoofer Laboratory (Berlin) and Fresh and Paid Records (Denver). Additionally, he serves as head honcho and resident booty shaker for Housebroken Events where he hosts a who’s who of house & breakbeats elite at events in San Francisco, Oakland, and Chicago. Never content with complacency, Mike can be found on any given night or early morning rocking crowds via his several residencies, online mix shows and guest slots throughout America. Be on the lookout for this rising star as he continues his overnight success… just as he has been doing for over 24 years.
