B1 Mike Sharon - Give Your Love (Traxx Underground Records)

I wanted to kick off the new year with something fresh and exclusive to share with everyone and after the success of my first compilation Moxie Presents Vol.1 it felt only right to get cracking with a second instalment.

With the same premise as Vol.1 the 9 track compilation is made up of a collection of artists I support on my radio shows and in the clubs, with each track being an exclusive download to this compilation.

It features some up and coming artists alongside some slightly more established artists with everyone offering something totally different. I play so many different styles and I wanted to make sure this was a true reflection of that so I hope you enjoy. We’ll also be releasing some vinyl samplers later in the year so keep an eye out for that!

quintessentials 53: ponty mython - grooff machine (remixes by chrissy, soul of hex and pointy mython).
12"/digital out april 2017.

Originally released on the V.A. Quintessentials 50 and making rather big waves, “Grooff Machine” from Ponty Mython gets the remix treatment for some more dope grooffs! Chicago hotshot Chrissy (The nite owl diner, Classic, Razor n’ Tape) puts enough Disco and Acid in it and offers a great clubby alltime classic. Ponty himself fuses lost of House, Disco, Funk and 808 busines so that you can grooff to the max. And our mexican buddy Soul of Hex (Vicario Ltd, Freerange) keeps it dark and loopy before adding some splendid riffs. Time for the Grooff Machine!

Over the years, Phil Mison has become the go-to selector for those looking for Ibiza-themed compilations. None of his previous collections, though, have been quite as personal as Out Of The Blue, a compilation inspired by his first spell behind the decks at the Café Del Mar in 1993 – and the remarkable chain of events leading up to it. 

Mison made his first trip to Ibiza in the summer of 1991 and quickly fell in love with the magical music being played by Café Del Mar resident DJ, Jose Padilla. On his return to the UK, Mison began to cultivate his own take on the laidback, open-minded style, recording mix-tapes of “Ibiza style chill out” tunes to give to friends. 

In November 1992, Mison was hanging out in Tag Records, Soho, when Padilla walked in. He plucked up the courage to speak to the Spaniard because earlier that summer Mison had given one of his friends some tapes to take out to Jose in Ibiza so he wanted to see if he had got them. During the conversation Mison invited him down to his next DJ set at Nicky Holloway’s club, the Milk Bar and less than three months later, and clearly impressed by what he’d heard on the tapes, Padilla invited Mison to fill in for him at the Café Del Mar, beginning in April ’93.

It’s that first trip to DJ in Ibiza – a crazy six-weeks spent dividing his time between spinning records at Café Del Mar, hanging out in Jose Padilla’s house in the hills, and meeting some particularly eccentric White Isle residents – that proved the inspiration for Out Of The Blue.

The compilation contains a mixture of records that Mison played in his earliest Ibiza sets, those that remind him of that period, and recent discoveries that boast a similarly warm, loved-up vibe. Mison is at pains to point out that it’s not a track-for-track representation of his first sets, but rather a collection inspired by this most momentous of experiences.

As you’d expect from a selector of Phil Mison’s standing, Out Of The Blue is an outstanding collection.  Some will no doubt hear the influence of his mentor – the man he credits with effectively turning his DJing career around – in the undulating rhythms and new age melodies of Kamasutra’s “Sugar Step”, the meandering synthesizer solos and Spanish language vocals of Congarilla’s sublime “Sacred Tree”, and the lilting flamenco guitars of “Gambarra”, an unreleased mix from Mison’s popular Cantoma project.

Elsewhere, listeners can marvel at the starry ambient bliss of Belgian legend Frank De Wulf’s “The End”, recline to the saucer-eyed fusion jazz of the Christoph Spendel Group, shuffle along to tactile, hard-to-find period deep house from Language, Moodswings and Don Carlos, and marvel at The Cactus Rose Project’s ridiculously rare “Jelly”, a sparkling, disco-era jazz-rock outing partly inspired by the Doobie Brothers’ “Long Train Running”. 

Out Of The Blue may well be a very personal selection of tracks celebrating a moment in time, but it’s happily one that we can all enjoy.

Dropping next week on ace German label @Footjob @hans-nieswandt & @eric-d-clark's 'Protest Disco EP' is a breath of fresh air as a socially conscious release which stands out beautifully amongst all the throwaway music which appears and then disappears on virtually the same day. 

Our premier today sees Lumberjacks in Hell label boss @marcelvogel step up and knock it so far out of the park you would need binoculars to see it land. The words timeless and classic jump immediately to mind. Jump over to LV online via the link below for an EP review:

For their fourth release Made In Glasgow Recordings are delighted to welcome Manakinz to their roster, a new project from James ‘Harri’ Harrigan and Max Raskin aka Affi Koman.

Harri is synonymous with Glasgow’s vibrant House scene. His much loved and record-breaking 29-year residency, Subculture at the Sub Club, is the foundation for the venue’s growth into one of the UK’s premier dance clubs. With a long list of releases as The Pa Pa Washington Trio, Daddy’s Favourite, H Foundation, DJ Harri & The Revenge and Burnt Island Casuals, his production credits are literally mind-blowing. Keeping it well and truly in the family, Harri’s son Jasper James is one of house music’s rising stars.
