On Monday, 9 March 2020 I played at The Retro Party at Esoteric Festival, which was held at The Lagoon onsite, and was some of the most fun I've had spinning tracks. Coming away from the festival I decided I needed to record some sets that included some of the great party classics.

What came to fruition was "220 In 2020"
- A 10 part series
- With 220 tracks
- Each set containing 22 tunes
- With mixes being released every 22 days
- Commencing Monday, 25 May 2020

A part of the concept was the double 2s gimmick, and the date for the first mix dropping was the start of 22nd week of the year, so it all kind of tied in together nicely and in a bizarre kind of way.

As a DJ, it's great to be able share music with people that isn't relatively well known by the masses. Hearing new music and underground music is great, but we all love to hear those big tunes we all know and love at a celebration such as a birthday or a wedding. Having worked as a DJ for near 20 years and playing at many of those type of functions, The 220 In 2020 Series is the culmination of many years experience having to play popular, well known tracks to cater for the attendees of such events.

These sets contain proper party gear!
Cheesy tuna mornay with extra awesome sauce.
Get around it!!

The 220 In 2020 Series - Mixed By Danny Dobs

This year I'm embarking on a mission!

Recording sets with 220 of my favourite party tunes spread over a 10 part series, 22 tracks per mix, with sets dropping every 22 days.

Having worked as a DJ for near 20 years, these sets are the culmination of many years experience playing at events that require more popular and well known music to be played.

This is proper party gear! Cheesy tuna mornay with extra awesome sauce!! Get around it!!!


Much love,

Here we go then! Got some absolute cheese on toast for you this episode.

The mix starts off with some urban party classics and then heads into a different direction with traces of reggae, funk, disco and rock.

There’s a section about halfway in this set that goes into rock territory that really takes me back to the family home as a kid.

I’m actually looking forward to giving it to my mum for a listen and I’ve never played her a set of mine… might have to edit the mix and take out the Hip Hop first haha.

Hope you enjoy the cheesy, fun ride!!


Much love,

With regard to this mix and the 220 In 2020 Series, it wouldn't be possible to compile a list of 220 party tracks without these rave favs being in it.

We're all about the party and having fun with other fellow cyborgs here. We love quality dance music and enjoy doing the robot dance to it.

Robo-Tech events conjure up a special kind of atmosphere, which allows partygoers to malfunction to robotic sounds of the future.
