About the CD:
For our 23rd episode we once again asked a friend of the site for their favourite all time CD. Andy Buchan is editor of Dubai's leading music and events publication, the fortnightly Infusion magazine. He's written for Mix Mag, DJ mag and Q magazine so he know's a thing or two about music. He's also one of the Dubai's best DJ's. Running his award winning alternative night Loaded and the famous dubstep and bass night SYNF amongst others. Andy has warmed up for anyone and everyone from 2ManyDJ's, to Norman Jay, Beardyman to Chase and Status and held down residencies at pretty much every quality venue in Dubai.

He originally picked Francios K's Choice disc... but as we just had a Choice disc from our last guest (We Luv's Ian Blevins) he also recommended Francios K's superb Essential Mix (Disc One). Which is a storming journey of starting with house and quickly moving into funk, disco, soul and everything in between. With from James Brown, Level 42, Maurizio, George Benson, Chaka Khan, Kyoto Jazz Massive to name a few... it's easy to see why Francios K has formed such legendary status with many of the finest selectors out there. If you love this mix... you're amongst very good company. Salute!

This CD was the first of the 'United DJs of America' collections I ever bought and I always remember the haunting intro than opens up into the rolling Sanchez loop with quintessential S Man bass drop. This is what Roger Sanchez sounded like and every club he played at was on fire. This is the 3rd CD from him in our Classic Series... and he's there for a very simple reason, this sound made you dance more than any other.

With the opening track 'The Flame' by Fine Young Cannibals then Green Velvet's 'The Stalker', this CD sets the pace right from the start and keeps going. The second last track is an all time favourite... Roger S presents The Deep - 'Vibe'. A truly relentless mix CD showing Sanchez at his very best. So turn it up... and enjoy the mix.

About the CD:
So this came out of the blue in 2000 and was a new mix compilation that gained a lot of fans not just from its unique theme (what's not to like!) and retro artwork which stood out on the shelves. Not only that but the music was damn good too. Dimitri from Paris delivers a driving soulful collection which had its own unique flavour and was perfect for nights out, driving, after parties and whatever else. Shout out to Just Lance in Dubai for reminding us about this one!

Play it loud, share the mix and enjoy!

For episode 033 we are really taking it back, 1992 when this came out, which seriously deserves a WTF!. Always remember borrowing it off my uncle around 1994. To this day he never got it back. (Hey, it's the only disc I officially didn't return, I was 14 ffs). But I had an excuse, 6 mini mixes of rave, hardcore and techno goodness that blew your mind. Carl Cox, Slipmatt & Lime, SL2, Krome & Time, Two Little Boys... each one battling against each other for rave greatness. The space sample, the Sesame Street sample, the Bubble Bobble sample, so many great moments and thats just 3. PLAY IT LOUD!

About the cd:
So everyone should know by now that I was a massive fan of Sanchez in the late 90's. And it's around 2001/2 that he supposedly started playing 'darker'. We all know how that turned out (sadly!). This is a free disc from MixMag which brilliant shows the slamming soul and energy he brings and a mix which has had quite a few requests on this page despite it being free. (Which is unusual for a giveaway disc!).

So on that note, thanks for such a belter Mixmag, you can pick it up on discogs for only 50p, now that is a bargain. So turn up it, and enjoy the mix.

About the cd:
Taking it with back with this CD, another icon of the shelves at HMV. I remember the name 'Hard Times' burning itself into my memory, it was just sounded quality as a 17 year old kid. That alongside 'That important house guy from America called Todd Terry'. The CD was a double pack which basically recorded his set live, it's even got the MC at the start shouting out in a heavy Yorkshire accent, haha awesome stuff.

Special shout out to the man like Nick Sneddon for helping with this one. Keep them coming mate, so much good stuff to share and bring back to everyone. Thanks again!

About the cd:
So this release came out at the peak of my clubbing days and coincided with 'that visit to Gatecrasher' on the summer bank holiday of 2008. Which came about due to the rest of the gang all heading down to the first ever Creamfields (Or maybe it was Homelands by then). From what I can remember, the club was a huge, 2 roomed rave temple with followers of it's religion going mental each and every weekend. One of the lads freaked out at the amount of 'colourful' clubbers in his vicinity and went and sat in the car alone all night! (Actual LOL here).

But about the CD, considering this is the 'Early set' you can get an idea of how banging this club was. And of course went onto become the new super club of the north and throwing parties around the world with countless other CD releases. If you've got any other Gatecrasher related banter... post it below. Turn it up, and enjoy the mix!

About the CD:
This out of all my mix CD's will likely bring back the most clubbing memories for the majority of my friends. It's hands down one of the greatest mix CD's of all time, a double pack of Sasha at his absolute peak, he was untouchable, worshipped like no other and unrivalled around the 1996-2000 era in the majority of opinions. It defined a period of clubbing that had 50 Sunderland dance heads on a bus filling up half of the main room at Sasha's, Craig Richard's and Lee Burridge's 'Tyrant' night, at the Bomb in Nottingham. Which still holds strong as the best clubbing experience for most of us. It was legendary times, and this is a legendary mix CD.

About this CD:
This episode features a cd which further cemented my love of all things Groove Aramada, especially their earlier work. The unforgettable intro of 'Fly Me To The Moon' sets up a mix which flows between house, soul, disco and hip hop with ease. It was another education into all things 'eclectic' although that word does get on my tits some what. It's just 'playing whatever great music you feel like' isn't it.

Special shout out the the inclusion of Mr. Fingers - Can You Feel It, which I'm sure holds a special place in everyones heart and sets up the ending for another brilliant CD. (Not forgetting a nice bed time story ending from Patrick Moore). So turn it up, and enjoy the mix!

Mark Farina, a true pioneer and long standing House Gangster is in the hot seat for episode 6 of the Gangstercast and we're extremely proud to have him on-board.  Mark's mixes are the stuff of legend and have seen him touring the globe as one of Chicago's best loved musical exports for many years. Now based in San Francisco, Chicago still provides his roots to the House Gangster sound, "For me, the House Gangster movement means capturing the spirit of the days when there were true gangsters listening to house in chicago in the late eighties. White, latino, black...the only sound of the underground in the streets was house music. The sound has a certain rawness, toughness, trackyness and attitude that combines into a certain style of house."

Regarding his Gangstercast, Mark says the tracks are, "Selected goodies from my arsenal of new underground jammies. No special planning though. Pick a starting point and go from there, with just a vibe in mind to fit this Gangstercast."

And his view on house music, you may just have heard it before: "In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly declared, "Let there be HOUSE!" and House music was born."
