If you're feeling these mixes with full track lists primarily focused on the 90's U.K dance music scene feel free to follow and share!

The idea behind my page is to log and showcase the music that has influenced me over the last 35+ years so that my daughter, Ebony, can listen to ‘olden day’ music and hopefully appreciate how good we had it. 

Having learnt my craft in the late 80’s at the age of 12 and teaching myself how to beat match on 1200’s within a week, I felt I had a knack for this DJ’ing thing way before it became fashionable. I would class myself as quite a versatile DJ able to lend my hand to most genres. Hopefully all those years of bedroom mixing and house parties have paid off…but that’s up to you to decide. 

I attempt to capture a constant energy in my mixes regardless of genre and am always a firm believer that the mix is as important as the track itself. I endeavour to create seamless transitions whilst maintaining the energy. During longer mixes a welcome switch in style is sometimes required. In fact different genres warrant different styles of mixing, in my opinion. And monotonous sets do nothing for me. Up and down, peaks and troughs, it’s all about building the listener up and letting them down gently.

Never one to choose tracks based on their popularity or current chart position, I hand pick the tunes I mix because I think they’ll stand the test of time. The idea being that during any of my sets I can pick a point and know I’ll dig that track or mix. Although digitally digging isn’t as rewarding as finding physical vinyl records for me, it is a whole lot easier. That said there are a lot of below par tunes out there to sift through before finding worthy tracks. Then the set process begins…I just approach it as a musical jigsaw.

Anyway, enough about me. Whether you’re getting ready to go out for the night, cleaning the kitchen or in the car, turn it up, get in the groove and I hope you enjoy the vibes  😎

Will Hine aka Whiney, one of Hospital Records' youngest ever signings, has been lighting up dancefloors and festivals with his trademark underground sounds for over 7 years. Introduced  to  Drum  &  Bass  at  14  and  classical  instruments  at  7,  Will  focused  his  efforts  on  production  signing  his  first  track  'No  More'  to  Hospital  Records  at  the  age  of  18 - already  turning  heads  at  a  young-age,  Will  signed  exclusively  to  Hospital's  sister-label  Med  School  Music  just  2  years  later.  

It  only  took  a  couple  of  years  and  the  release  of  his  debut  album  'Talisman'  for  Will's  impact  on  the  scene  to  really  get  noticed.  3  nominations  (Best  Album,  Best  Newcomer  and  Best  Track)  at  the  D&BA  awards  and  the  release  of  the  2017  anthem  'Flashlight',  Will  was  proving  to  be  one  of  the  scenes  hottest  prospects,  performing  regularly  across  the  UK  and  Europe  at  clubs  such  as  Fabric,  Studio  338,  Standon  Calling  Festival  and  a  debut  solo-tour  of  Australia.  Originally  picked  up  by  the  Djs  DJ  Randall,  Flashlight  went  on  to  hold  the  D&B  top  spot  on  Beatport  for  2  weeks,  becoming  a  key  track  in  DJs  sets  and  heard  across  stages  at  Let  It  Roll,  Notting  Hill  Carnival  and  Boomtown and the Radio 1 airwaves courtesy of DJ Friction.   

No longer viewed as a newcomer, Whiney’s second album “Waystone” cemented his name as one of the scene’s most well respected artists. There followed remix requests from S.P.Y, Etherwood, London Elektricity, BCee and Ecuador as well as radio and dancefloor support from DJ Target, Friction, Noisia, High Contrast, Rene LaVice, Annie Nightingale and Camo & Krooked, to name but a few. Whiney’s compositions are also included in diverse sync projects with BT Sports and Letterkenny and computer games like FIFA 23, Need For Speed Heat, Forza Horizon 3, 4 & 5, and GRIP.

In recent years, Whiney has become renowned for carving out his own sound alongside a slew of top-tier vocalists, most specifically on his infamous ‘Bubblers’ EP series. Following an iconic long-standing pairing with Inja as well as producing the beats on his most recent ‘Smile & Wave’ album, Whiney has a long list of vocal collaborations under his belt with a string of some of the finest MCs including Subten on his original grime and drum & bass infusion ‘Headlines’, Parly B, Ben Verse, Truthos Mufasa… And now the one and only P Money as the duo works towards a very special project on Hospital Records, already boasting hit singles including ‘Buss The Red’, ‘Sorry I’m Not Sorry’ and ‘Dead In The Eye (feat. Example)’.
