Kopie von Simon Humphreys - Momentum 47 June 2024

Had a great time playing out live at the old Edge Venue in Orlando on 9/17, now the Ace Cafe.  Got to dj the patio for my buddy DJ Soundamind's 50th Bday bash.  Here is my set track listing.   Modern tracks with a 90's vibe influence.

1. Shan - One Day (Earth Trax Remix)
2. Budakid, Ester Veen - Surga
3. Jody Wisternoff , James Grant, Boxer - Sunkissed (Extended Mix)
4. Iglesias - Where?
5. Tommy Farrow - Let’s Just (Extended Mix)
6. Duke Dumont - Therapy (Franky Wah Mix)
7. Marsh, Leo Wood - My Strips Featuring Leo Wood (Braxton and 
8. Martin Badder - Coming Back to You (Extended Mix)
9. Kendal - Basorexia 
10. Richie Blacker - 2 Late 4 Love

Grade - E - Live Set At Ace Cafe Orlando, Soundamind's 50th

Nothing like 2 years in between episodes.  While I still have been mixing all the  time  I haven't recorded a set outside of a guest mix for Joe Wink's Broken Essence. Which you can listen to here:  https://soundcloud.com/mr_wink/joe-winks-broken-essence-104-featuring-grade-e

And the live set I did at Ace Cafe: https://soundcloud.com/grade-e/grade-e-live-set-at-ace-cafe-orlando-soundaminds-50th

Episode 4 of BCB was definitely inspired by Joe's set he played the week I guest mixed. That set has been one of my favorites of 2022.  My set is a bit of a  throw back sound to a much earlier two-part series I did in the early 2000's called "BreakTrancing." Some of my DC friends may remember those tapes.  Getting breaks remixes was a bit of rarity back then and I was one of the few playing those remixes. I made a mix  of tracks that  straddled breaks and trance that was popular at that time.

This set will hopefully get your toes tapping. Grab a coffee and join me. 

Tracklisting:
1.  Private  / Taste  (Ashtrax  Ambient  Mix)
2. Bod Diana Miro  / Underwater (Sasha Carrasi Mix)
3. Hexadecimal  /The End
4. Richie Blacker / Atlantis
5. Selsi / Dust (Framework Electro Breaks Remix)
6. Olan / Contra 
7. Bicep  /  X  (feat. Clara  La  San)
8. Framewerk / Yeke Yeke  Rewerk  (Dub)
9. Flume , Emma Louise / Hollow  (Logic 1000 Remix)
10. Rochelle Jordan / Situation (&Me Remix)
11. Noel  Sanger / Falling  Upward
12. Diplo, Damian Lazarus / Don’t Be Afraid (DJ  Tennis  Remix)

Black Coffee Breaks - Episode 4

My latest Black Coffee Breaks mix, now up to Episdoe 5. A fresh serving of 90's inspired breakbeats, groove laden melodies with a bit of a melancholy tone that works so well in dance music. Maybe it's all the minor keys. 

All tracks are from the summer months of 2023, but it's amazing to me how much of a 90's revival is happening in the breaks scene these days. Recycled drums loops, pianos galore, but the bpms  have come down a bit. 

Tracklisting
1.  Framewerk - Mercury and Solace
2. John Gurd & Reset Robot - Ashen
3. Arlan - Flow through the canyon (Ran Kaler Remix)
4. Because of Art  - Circle of Light
5. Sasha  & Because of Art - Fused
6. Tim French - Veritas (Truth)
7. Matin HERRS - Do we love each other
8. Jeremy Olander - Hollow Halls
9. Matty Right - Realisation 
10. Digital Base & Andy Vibes - Darling
11. Ranj Kaler - Recovery

Hi friends - I’m kicking off a new dj set series that allows me to release music in my two favorite genres of deep house and breakbeats. Over the coming months I hope to release at least one new set on a semi-regular basis. 

Inspiration for the music comes mornings, black coffee, my favorite DJs, good grooves, 90 breaks and much more. 

Some of you may know me more for progressive breaks that I’ve played for years and still love. While you’ll certainly hear that type of sound in the breaks set, I’ve gravitated towards breaks that were slightly more acoustic, heavily influenced by classic nineties vibes with some modern melodies.  This set is good for chilling listening or club dancing. 

I have borrowed a few tracks that I’ve heard in other recent sets from some of my favorite DJs, but hopefully found my own unique take on them by placing them in the mix in my own way. While not focused on the hottest latest tracks that are mere minutes old, I hope you'll still be hearing some tunes that maybe you're hearing for the first time. 

Thank you to anyone that gives these a listen. Your ears are always appreciated. Your comments are always welcome.
