Coldcut - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix - 29.01.2006

here's my Sunday afternoon set (almost) at Curiosity Fest in the Mojave - a small festival with huge sound, secret lineup and a lot of close friends. 
I even setup a small camera and have full video of the set too if you want to watch it on my YT @leftrightmusic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9rxNNECaVk

I haven’t released a set in a while but I really played a lot of my current favorite music and some really firm new directions / sounds for me - a mix of broken beat and uk influences, often switching from melodic and vibey to bass-y and spattered with choppy vocals throughout. 

Hope you enjoy watching / listening as much as I did playing.<3 

Big shouts to Inquiry Collective for having me out (special thanks to Sammy, Torie, Keerd and Gargar) and all the friends I got to hang with and hear - Felly Fell, Mitsuo, Benny and more. Enjoy!

Through storms, calms, and tempests, across endless kilometers of the ocean goes the ship towards its destination. Somewhere on a forgotten continent lies the treasure which will bring glory and fortune to the captain and his crew. 
No force of nature will stand in their way. Their ambitions and the hunger to carve their names in history are too strong. But history repeats. And when your memory is short and your compass is greed, you're on a direct course to disaster.

FEED THE FIRE

Deekline and Wizard cemented themselves in Breakbeat folklore. Known for their Booty Breaks from back in the day they were a force to be reckoned with releasing a full album called "Breaks, Beats and Blondes" on Botchit & Scarper Records in 2004. Another one in 2009 and 2 mix compilations. Unfortunately they both parted ways but Deekline has kept producing music and travelling the world DJing till this day.

Deekline & Wizard - Promo Mix for Seismic - September 2006

This relatively hard to find mix was given away for free with the February issue of Mixmag in 2001 and comes directly from my CD collection. Entitled "Mixmag Presents Elastic Breaks - The Sound Of Breakbeat mixed by the Plump Djs" it was one sort after mix at the time and one that was on high rotation in my CD player. This mix pretty much launched the careers of the Plump DJs and gained them more of a following on a global scale.

Plump DJs - Elastic Breaks 2001

Big League Chu presents - Retrorespect vol. 2: 

The passage of time gives us the ability to cherry pick musical gems from the past.
The concept of this series is take the big hitters from key moments in my DJing time and place them into a set. A set with no filler just straight nostalgia.

Retrorespect Vol. 2 Pure Limelight 98-01
This set pays tribute to Pure @ Limelight Wednesdays. That was the place to be on Wednesdays to either start your weekend or end it depending which way you looked at it. Starting sometime in the summer of 1996, me and my friends would stand in these long lines that went well into the firehouse a few doors down on Richmond St. We’d grease our bouncer the late great Huey, pay Renee at the door, then off to a guaranteed slamming night. I really don’t know how this city functioned on a Thursday morning with 1000+ of its young generation partying till the morning hours.  
Limelight is where I met John E, Peter Ivals and Craig Pettigrew who ran PURE. This was the midweek spot by this time and it really didn’t need anyone else on its roster (especially an unknown breaks guy at that point). But sometime in 1998 they added Mystical Influence, Myka and myself to the regular rotation. So I went from the guy just trying to get into the club, to a resident for the guy who in a lot of ways would become my mentor in the scene. 
Which brings me to the subject of John E. 
John E was arguably billed on the most shows for an electronic DJ in Ontario for that decade.  His style was this happy house  mixed with a splattering of breaks. It was the breaks that appealed to me and I’d travel to see him just in case he might drop 1 or 2 breaks tracks in his sets (it would be worth it). He was my favorite DJ to watch spin as his technic was different , unique and flawless. I think by the time 1998 rolled around he was starting to look to pass the torch and move to that elder statesman promoter type roll. Both Myka and myself managed to use PURE as our jumping off point because of Craig and John. The thing is, I didn’t even know those dudes on a personal level until they asked me to join PURE. So they owed me nothing they just liked what they heard. I would go on to become good friends with them and we worked on so many other events, nights, and mix tapes together. The guests for a Wednesday night was also something to boast about Grandmaster Flash, Cevin Fisher, Robert De La Gauthier,  Czech, Adam Freeland, Donald Glaude, Dj Dan etc.  
So there we were the PURE, METRO, KICKIT team killing it on Wednesday at Limelight until we moved to the Guvernment in April 2000. After a stint at the Guvernement for PURE Wednesdays, I would return to Limelight with many of the same crew but under Craig’s OUT OF HAND production company. We did that for a few more years but it wasn’t the same.
