classic quality old skool mix 💯🎶🧨🔥🌟🙌👍

It’s been a couple of years since I last did an old school mix, and this will probably be my last for a long time to come. (I think all the tracks I love are now in this mix or the other 4 installments). I’ve spent the last few years searching out classic tracks and acapellas and putting them together in new ways that keep those crazy days of the late 80s - early 90s alive... in my own little way. There are already so many classic house mixes out there, so I wanted to think differently about 'Not Forgotten V5'. I went searching for the samples that many house tracks had sampled, back in the day and went about rebuilding them. Like Pierre Ferroldi - Moving Now. I got the original acapella the Italian's sampled from, then chopped it up and restructured it to create a ‘Moving Now’ acapella that no one else has got. Then I banged it over another track, creating a fab new bootleg version in its own right. Of course, these things take time and a lot of patience. With so much of this going on, in many ways this is a mix, sitting on top of another mix. This creates some pretty magical and unexpected mixing moments. It pairs up some formidable anthems together. When you find that Fast Eddy and Brothers in Rhythm fit hand in glove, it feels seriously good. Not quite as good as being 18 and going crazy in a sweaty club, but still pretty good. This mix is over 2 hrs long and I’ve tried by best to keep the audio and the mixing to the highest quality. There’s some well known anthems, sitting along side some rare, seldom heard gems. Some of my very own version excursions like Ellustrious - Dance no more. Some classic Italian piano screamers. Some progressive. Balearic, Chicago, you name it. I wanted to include it all, because there are too many mixes that stick to one style. To me, great house came from a number of different styles spanning a number of different years. Put it all together and you have a seriously fun trip back in time. Enjoy and play it loud.

Not Forgotten - Volume 5

Not Forgotten is the glory years of house music, relived, revived and remembered.

Never a day goes by, without considering myself incredibly lucky. I was one of the millions, out there on the dance floor, eyes closed, hands in the air, completely absorbed by a new kind of electronic music. The sound was house. It was loud, it was hypnotic and an entire generation was moved by its beat. Those who were there were probably witnessing the last great cultural uprising this country will ever see. Whether it was Hip House, Chicago House, Acid House, Italian Piano, New Beat, or a hundred other variations on the House theme, the effect it had on us was the same. Pure euphoria. These were crazy days and even crazier nights. The convoys, the warehouse parties, the clubs, the vinyl, the camaraderie and the sense of belonging. These are moments that should not be forgotten. In fact, they should be celebrated as the best days of our lives.

Our Facebook Group is a celebration of the tunes that keep on being amazing. Many have faded away, probably the really shit ones, the stupid 150bpm ones and the make purely for profit ones. But from 86 to 95, there was some amazing house music made. We want to cherry pick and keep on playing and talking about the best. We are DJ's who won't just settle for the Anthems everyone knows. We want to dig deeper and re-discover those lost gems and sometimes refresh and re-edit when we need to. The house that Jack built has stood for many, many years. Some people have moved out. But some (like us) remain as full time tenants. Join us. Lets talk House Music!
