About the CD:
The VERY FIRST house CD I ever owned. And essentially the first time I ever listened to PROPER house music. I remember thinking as a 15 year old kid 'This is a bit slow'... but after a few plays I was forever a house head. And with all time classics like MK's 'Always, 24 Hour Experience's 'Together, Happy Clappers 'I Believe', Joey Musaphia's 'Cover Ups Volume One' and the gorgeous 'Total Control ft. Caroldene Black 'You Took My Lovin' who can blame me... Maybe some of you guys remember this CD too, if so... here's to the memories.

About the CD:
My second ever house CD! I bought this one for my Christmas box through the Metro Centre in Newcastle if I remember correctly and it was the real catalyst for getting me into clubland and house music. Featuring artists that defied genres and  the underground/overground such as Leftfield, Living Joy, Wildchild and Inner City... this was music all of the UK was dancing too not just to cool kids. A pretty amazing time to be a young kid getting into music heavily... my biggest regret... not buying turntables!

About the CD:
So another Mixmag Live! cd here, but there was a massive gap of anything rave related in the series so it's time to fix that. With non other than the first ever Mixmag cd... 01 (funnily enough). It rolls through Cox's mix of hardcore, or what I'd simply call early rave music via the epic "Atomic Matter" and "I want you forever". Dave Seaman's mix continues the 90's warehouse flavour with a pitched down selection. "Brass Disc" is a stand out along side "I'm Coming Hardcore" and "You Keep The Love". All in all... a ravetastic CD!

About the CD:
Wow, 3 disc's of (as the title suggests) absolute stone cold classics. This disc really was the soundtrack of my pre 'proper clubbing' days trying to get into the bars and clubs of Sunderland City Centre. This CD features some absolute bangers like Tony Di Bart's 'The Real Thing', Hard Drive's legendary 'Deep Inside', Felix's 'Don't You Want Me", Sub Sub's "Ain't No Love" and well... the list really does go on, and on, and on, and on. I hope you all enjoy this mix as many of us have. Play it LOUD!

So for episode 034 we had a lot of shouts after sharing the first disc on this compilation, which was the Jeremy Healy one. (Also excellent). But with so many requests it was time to get the Whitehead one up there, and after listening to again for the first time in over 10 years or so the memories of its brilliance came flooding back. It's a more soulful set with come epic vocal and feel good moments which made the mid to late 90's a much more enjoyable place to be.

So many stand out tracks but off the top of my head, Right and Exact, Tall and Handsome, Weekend, I Believe, Happiness and the highlight for me, the epic 'Sweetest Day of May' by Joe T. Vannelli Project. It's fantastically put together and a mix with truly belongs into the classic status. Whatever you're up to now Alistair... we salute you!

ALISTAIR WHITEHEAD - Clockwork Orange at Ministry Of Sound - The Box

1994 I discovered a club in Birmingham called WOBBLE. Anyway this is a mix of all the hands in the air tunes from that summer that for me defined my 1994 experience of Wobble. 
I've used a bit of artistic licence with the intro - Some may not agree with every tune choice, some of them may not be the most underground or 'credible' tunes but they were the dancefloor fodder that Phil Gifford and guest DJ's such as Chris & James, Luvdup, etc. were hammering that summer that defined my personal experience... and most of them still make me smile now....  enjoy!

Allister Whitehead's Return To Shine

With Allister coming back to The Hacienda for the Christmas party at Sankeys on 27/12/16 which sees some eight of the clubs original residents reunited, here with a very special mix which puts together the set he performed back in November 1991 on the first night of his Shine residency,

Following The Hacienda's re-opening in 1990, Shine was the Friday night replacement to the long running Nude and saw Mike Pickering and Russ take charge of the night alongside special guests who included the likes of Todd Terry, K Klass, Sasha and more. 

About the opportunity,  Allister comments;

"I was asked by Mike Pickering in 1991 to cover for him at ’Shine’  on Friday’s  while he was touring and recording with M-People. Not many DJ’s got the chance to play the Hacienda, it was like being asked to play for England!   Obviously, things went well for Mike and I became resident from 1992 - 93 on Friday’s at Shine and I did Tuesday’s as well for a while.  We had some great guests (Todd Terry, Kevin Sanderson etc...) and some special nights, including a few of the infamous foam parties, which were amazing and pretty close to the incredible Nude nights back in 88/89. To play the Hacienda at full pelt was a rare thing for a DJ apart from Graeme and Mike and has provided memories I will treasure all my life. Thanks must go to Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, Peter Hook and Ang Matthews."

Dusting down and digitising the same set from that night, Allister pulls together a number of the tunes that characterised The Hacienda in late 1991 including US club hit Brother Makes 3 to open. Union City Recording's hit Mombassa "Cry Freedom" follows up whilst the mix also includes carat gold classics, Denise Lopez's "Dont You Wanna Be Mine", Rusty "Everything's Gonna Change" and the Sasha remix of Jimi Polo's "Better Days".
