LIFE AT BOWLERS (OLDSKOOL) 💯%🇬🇧

Back to Love (Club Class #1)(Lost Gems, Forgotten Remixes & Timeless Classics) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (March 2021)

First mix from my private stash of home listening grooves. All the tracks are timeless vocal 'sing-a-long' house tracks that were released in 1991/1992, so there all 30 years old or thereabouts! 

Some of them you will no doubt know, some of them you may not. There are a couple of huge timeless club classics in the mix but I've opted to play the lesser known mixes (mainly because there my favorite versions!) and they've been slightly overshadowed over the years and forgotten about... 

I really hope you enjoy it. If you do then please don't be shy, show it some love, give it a like  and share it with your friends on social media. Don't forget to follow me for more future mixes...

Back to Love (Athenaeum & Hacienda Classics) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (April 2020)

Inspired by the 'Hacienda' live stream over the weekend and the fact I haven't done one for a while I thought it was time to do another classics mix. I don't usually do them but I was feeling quite nostalgic and as we're all on lockdown and can't get out, why not... 

As with the last classics mix from 5 years ago this mix features tracks that are all favorites of mine and were played at either the Hacienda, Paradise Factory or the best pre-club bar in Manchester at the time 'The Athenaeum'.

Every track has a special place in my heart and brings back fond memories of special moments in time out on the dancefloor.

Play it loud, sing, dance, smile, enjoy...

Paradise Factory PF21 Pre Party @ Velvet Central (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Manto Classics)

Back to Love (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Home Nightclub Classics)(Part 1 - The Athenauem 1993/1994) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (December 2020)

Finishing the year 2020 with a selection of my personal favorites from back in the day. For me 1993 & 1994 were 2 of the best years musically with so many of the tracks now seen as classics.

If you lived in Manchester you probably use to start your weekend at the 'Atheneaum' which was easily the best pre-clubbing venue ever. The resident DJ's there were Planet Janet (aka Guy Williams & partner) and if I remember correctly Allister Whitehead was also a regular guest. Week after week these guys provided musical entertainment that was just beyond perfection. It was just a shame it had to close at 11 pm due to the licensing laws back then. 

I had the privilege of DJ'ing there about 5 times between 1994 and 1995 and the place holds many special memories. This mix features some of the tracks that ended up being my personal favorites from 'The Athenaeum'. Every track has a place in my heart and brings back fond memories of those special moments in time. The were however so many tracks that I love from back then that I couldn't fit them all in to one mix so Part 2 coming soon! 

1. NuColours - Power (E Smoove Anthem Mix)
2. Loni Clark - U (K Klass Klub Mix)
3. Mother - All Funked Up
4. K-Klass - Let Me Show You Love (Klub Mix)
5. Aretha Franklin - A Deeper Love (C&C Music Factory Mix)
6. Janet Jackson - If (Brothers In Rhythm House Mix)
7. D-Ream - U R The Best Thing (Perfecto Mix)
8. All Boxed In - Happen (Trolley's Stressed Mix)
9. Joe Roberts - Lover (K-Klass Klub Mix)
10. Shy One - Another Man (Matthew Roberts Mix)
11. Maria Christensen - Just A Little Bit Of Love (Extended Club Mix)
12. Mariah Carey - Dream Lover (Def Club Mix)
13. Ruby Turner - Never Gonna Give You Up (Bump Mix)
14. Clubland - (I'm Under) Love Strain (Stonebridge 94 Mix)
15. Eddy - Someday (Diesel & Ether Live & Direct Mix)

Play it loud, sing, dance, smile, enjoy...
