With the upcoming Slinky event on 22nd September only a few days away I thought now would be the perfect time to upload my mix of Slinky Classics to Soundcloud.

Slinky was and still remains something very close to my heart and I would not be the person I am today had I not graced the dance floor of The Opera House in Bournemouth every Friday night during the early 2000s. This mix features some tunes I closely associate with Slinky. They were either big tunes that featured regularly, tunes that appeared on their excellent compilation CDs or just tracks that hold special memories for me personally from nights out there.

Trance Classics

Tranceformation Vol. 2 (1997-2001)

My first mix of 2025 will be the final Vinyl Destination mix in it’s current format. After this I will be looking to try and upload shorter mixes (Short Haul), 60-80 minutes in length, but more frequently. There will still be the occasional longer mix (Long Haul). All will be revealed in due course but don’t worry, it’ll still be vinyl only 😊

For this mix I’ve selected 20 tracks from my collection that I’ve neglected to include on previous mixes and I think deserved a place. Some I’ve had for years but just never found a place for them, others are recent additions that I’ve chucked straight in. As always it's vinyl only, few bits of snap, crackle and pop in places and the odd loose transition but overall very happy with it and I think it's a great way to close out this series of mixes.

Track list below for those that are interested and, as always, thanks for listening, it's really appreciated.

Cheers, Lewis. x

A brief insight: Vinyl DJ and resident for Timewarp in Bournemouth. My story is as follows:

Having been exposed to electronic music from the age I had ears, I suppose it was inevitable that I've taken the musical path that I have. Growing up listening to artists such as Human League, Visage, Duran Duran, OMD, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis etc when the Trance boom came around in the 1990s I was sold. Whilst my school friends listened to Brit Pop. Indie or Hip Hop, I immersed myself in hundreds of dance compilations from the likes of Ministry of Sound & Nukleuz. Still far to young to venture out clubbing I played every compilation to death.

Once I'd turned 18 I found myself at The Opera House in Bournemouth every Friday for Slinky. The music policy was pretty simple but very spectacular: THE finest Trance and Hard House DJs on the planet! Every DJ you'd ever care to mention that was making a noise within those genres during the early noughties played at Slinky. It was Mauro Picotto though who caught my attention the most. Famed perhaps for his Trance anthems such as Lizard, Iguana & Pulsar, it was his ability to crossover into the Techno field that interested me. His Nukleuz compilation "The Lizard Man" is a prime example of this and that led me to his compilation released a year later titled Metamorphose.

Fast forward 5 years and 2 trips to Ibiza in the summer of 2007 convinced me that the Trance scene had gone stale and it was time to focus on the other constant in my musical life: Techno. Picotto's Metamorphose compilation was littered with tracks linked to Picotto (productions, remixes or signed to the BXR imprint) but the standout tracks were Electric Deluxe - Electric Deluxe, Devilfish - Manalive & Chris Liebing - CLR 07.

After 10+ years dabbling with Techno, I found myself back at the beginning. In April 2019 and before everybody started digging their 1210s out the loft during COVID, I decided to go back to basis and re-ignite my love for all things Trance and vinyl and launch a mix project titled Vinyl Destination. I've been doing that for 5 years and now decided to bring all those mixes into one place here on Soundcloud.

Most recently I’ve become a resident for the rapidly growing vinyl only night Timewarp based in Bournemouth. Prior to that I played at a few local nights here and there and held a residency for 2 years on an online Trance radio station called Trancemixers that then morphed into a website called Electronic Mixes. By all means I'd love to play out at a variety of parties so if upon listening to anything I post you think I can provide a soundtrack to a party then please get in touch :-) I'll just need a set of 1210s to play on!
