Hypnotic Groove Mix #68 - Steve Cook/Clouded Vision

In both songs I wanted to try to emulate elements of some early house records I love. Specifically, the simple yet elaborate chords riffs, which are what I’ve always been most drawn to. The other element I wanted was a chopped vocal sample. I couldn’t find any that worked, so I made some myself (thanks Jamie & Vanessa!). I’m hoping the end result are two musical, danceable, positive tracks! If life is a book, page one is LOVE.

From beginnings as a simple London promotor with a penchant for house, MN2S has grown explosively over the past two decades, becoming a huge international booking agency, label management company and global distributor. Now marking 20 years in the game, MN2S want to give something back.

Lining up 20 DJ mixes from the best their roster has to offer, including Roger Sanchez, X-Press 2, Joey Negro, DJ Spen, Barber, Silky, Kayper, Format B, Vanilla Ace and Okain, MN2S aim to keep the party going throughout the year. Grab the first set here.

Not to be left out, we’ve hooked up with MN2S to bring you a few fresh mixes of our own, welcoming Portuguese House don Rui da Silva to the Data Transmission podcast for mix number 451.

Having caused a major splash in 1994 as the Underground Sound of Lisbon with So Get Up, which appeared on Tribal as a major weapon in the hands of the likes of Danny Tenaglia and Junior Vasquez, the a capella alone showcased his innate understanding of what moves dancefloors. Be it in the studio or in the DJ booth, we’re big fans of Rui, his distinctive blend of robust bass-lines, palpable percussion and brooding atmospheres never failing to move our soul or our soles.

Tracklist

DTP451 - Rui Da Silva - Data Transmission

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have your hands filled with enough power to move buildings? Of course, the only time it would be worth doing this would be as long as you knew that nothing would get broken inside the house and that nobody would get hurt.

In fact, if you had this kind of strength - or Man Power if you will - then you might struggle to be able to come close to people and let them in as you'd undoubtedly crush them with your mighty arms and leave behind little more than a cloud or two of dust. Moving swiftly on to the matter at hand, we ruddy love what The Backwoods have done with the latest sounds from - oh, would you look at that - Man Power and we're delighted to be bringing them to your ears right about now.

Enjoy...

PREMIERE: Man Power - Le Clerc (The Backwoods Remix)

What's that? You thought the we'd up and left you without a Mix of the Day, just because it's the weekend? As if! It's Saturday, which means most of you need to prepare for a night out, and the few that remain need a pick me up. Well, say hello to our exclusive mix from Omid 16b.

Mixed in celebration of  influential booking agency, label management company and global distributor MN2S turning 20, the South London selector's impeccable selection is on display; serving up a smorgasbord of the hottest tracks Tech House has to offer. One of the scene's most enduring veterans,  Omid has long been able to count us as fans here at Data Transmission having helped pioneer the genre alongside fellow scene luminaries like Carl Craig, Vince Watson and Francois K, so to say were excited to welcome him into the DT fold is a bit of an understatement. Now, crank up the volume, put on your dancing shoes and get yourself in the mood for the night ahead.

Greg Wilson - January 2012

THE BEST OF 82: THE YEAR'S BIGGEST UNDERGROUND CLUB TUNES
In May 1982 I began putting together regular mixes for Mike Shaft’s Piccadilly Radio Soul Show, ‘T.C.O.B’ (Taking Care Of Business). The original mixes were as live, but as the year went on I began to utilise edits to a greater extent, using the station’s editing booths to try out some basic ideas. By the end of the year I’d bought my own equipment, so I could make the mixes from home, including two Technics SL1200 turntables and a Revox B77 reel-to-reel. Apart from allowing me to master the mixes and, of course, experiment further with editing, the simple dub effects on the mix were done via the Revox (which, as I’ve previously said elsewhere, was the best piece of equipment I ever bought).

Listening back to ‘The Best Of 82’, the first end of year mix broadcast by the station, I can’t help but cringe at the naivety of it, not to mention the general sloppiness! However, when this went out over the airwaves in December 1982 it would become part of local radio folklore. At the time you’d have thought I’d created a masterpiece judging from all the acclaim it received! It probably took me about 2-3 hours to put together, which, at that point, would have been the longest amount of time I’d ever spent on a mix, and it included 52 different tracks, some of which were just brief snippets. 

All of the tracks, as the title suggests, were major floorfillers at my venues during 1982. Apart from Wigan Pier and Legend in Manchester, which hosted the North’s top black music nights of the period, I also had two other successful weekly sessions during the second half of ’82 – Thursday nights at The Stars Bar in Huddersfield and Fridays at The Exit in Manchester. Apart from this I made guest appearances at the top All-Dayer events in the North and Midlands.

Copied from the original ¼” master, ‘The Best Of ‘82’ was one of the few mixes I managed to salvage from Piccadilly. However, due to damage at the end of the tape I had to fade-out before the final track, which was the US mix of 'Ease Your Mind' by Touchdown.
