Bedrock: Compiled And Mixed By Jimmy Van M - [Disc 2] - 2001

Ahead of our Seladoria launch night at E1 Club in London on September 24th, we'd like to share with you a mix from 3 years ago, back when one of our special guests for the forthcoming party, the inimitable Danny Howells, last played at the venue, an all night set for Bedrock. 

Only a true craftsman can master such a challenge - and the two hour section we highlight here from the middle of the journey shows Danny at the height of his powers. 

A driving, percussive ride, Danny rides the rhythm, blending styles & moods with apparent ease. Hypnotic meets tribal then ventures into acid, funky techno, deep vibes and more - with perfectly timed vocal interventions, an unexpected piano drop that will make you swoon, and so much more. 

Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to grab your tickets to see and hear the man in action alongside Dave Seaman, Steve Parry & Just Her on the 24th September for the inaugural Seladoria event. See you on the dancefloor 🙏🏼❤️

Up next, is very good friend of the series TouchSoul aka Adrian Dickinson, a fellow Sunderland music head who's in many ways been schooling the city with all things disco, boogie and deep house for years for years. What's more, he's also been pushing his ever popular edits for years now and amassed both a loyal army of SoundCloud fans plus his own released on labels like Harmless, Chopshop Music, Los Grandes, freebies for Wax Poetics magazine and of course, some of our finest classic mix CD recommendations.

Thanks for the mix fella, turn it up!

For the third instalment of the new _SESSIONS series we invited old friend Eddie Leader from Hudd Traxx for what is a mix of the highest house calibre. We originally met in the early 2000s in our student years, djing at our local party and since then Eddie has gone on to run a successful label, Hudd Traxx for over 12 years now and dj all around the world.

The label has received worldwide support from DJ's like Luciano, Loco Dice, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Josh Wink & more. Hudd Traxx music has been licensed to various compilations including Ministry Of Sound, Fabric & OM. If that's not house music royalty we don't know what is. 

Thanks for the mix Eddie!

SESSIONS_04 comes from friend of the show, Antony Daly aka 586 of the most excellent 586 Records in Newcastle, England. We've actually had this on the iPod for years but Tony has very kindly offered it up again for a re-airing. It really it quite seminal stuff. Be sure to call into 586 Records when you're in town and here's a few words from the man himself...

'Recorded, late into the Night, January 2003. A live, one hit mix via Suade's Studio in Sandyford, Newcastle upon Tyne. A personal soundtrack to a difficult time in my life. Poor health and unrequited love. Hopefully, the lyrics in these great songs and the overall mood of the mix, reflect that. Enjoy and thanks for listening'.

For the 5th instalment, we hooked up with Dubai's number one hat wearing, vinyl addict... Shadi Megallaa. He's got links to some of the city's finest musical happenings, such as the immensely good Analog Room (which is nothing short of a Dubai institution) and also runs the Ark to Ashes label. This mix called... 'Less is More' is over 15 years old, yet remains one of his favourite personal selections. We agree, it's exceptional. Many thanks fella!

Some words from Shadi:
'Less is More is my 2nd proper mix from back in the early 2000s. The 1st one being a mix called Impulse. It was recorded on a Philips CDR 775 Recorder. Back in those days there were no daws or digital recording. The mix was recorded in real time on a cd. One mistake & you had to throw away the cd and start all over.  I guess you can feel that tension in the mix & hence why it still sounds good almost 15 years later. Hope you enjoy it.'

Few can claim to have their names featured on dance music's most respected mix compilations, but Anthony Pappa is one of those. With seminal mixes with both Renaissance and Global Underground that are nothing short of stuff of legend. In fact his 'Renaissance presents' released in 1999 pretty much single handedly fuelled our lads summer holiday to Kavos, which despite not quite being the dance music mecca that is Ibiza, that one disc made us feel like it was just as good. And it still sounds just as good now.

So it's with great pleasure to present a brand new mix recorded live from Anthony's recent set in Beirut, February 2017. It's a winner. (Shout out to Neil at Electric Ibiza for the hook up!). Many thanks for tuning in and expect more exclusive mixes very soon.

Mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties, our lives. But in the internet age, the artform has been lost to online mixes which simply don't create the same magic your CD collection did. The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

Also, we try to help you find and buy them again by sharing Discogs links on all featured CDs and or direct links to labels where possible.

* We fully support labels and artists. If any disc creates a copyrighting issue let me know and it will be immediately removed.
