It's been a while, but today marks the continuation of the Essential: mix series, this edition is entitled House. With the huge popularity with my Deep House mix, I've decided to keep with house but rather the chilled deep kind, just going for all out head-bopping house. Featured on the mix are an array of established names such as Disclosure and Groove Armada, as well as some tracks from Jessie Andrews, Groove Armada and Gorgon City that you may never have heard of before, full tracklist at www.thewestreview.com

Essential: House

After the overwhelming response to my first Deep House mix, and with the weather getting better and better, another mix of the Deep House kind seemed more than applicable. Featuring chilled rejuvenations of Show Me Love and Nina Simone's Feeling Good, as well as fresh jams from the likes of Kygo and Years and Years, Deep House II is as chilled as it gets.

Essential: Deep House II

Next up in the Essential: mix series is entitled After Party. I'm not really sure what my train of thought was putting this together- it doesn't really lock into a specific genre. However, I've called it After Party because it's a good mix to wind down to after a big one. The mix kicks off with Disclosure, Maceo Plex and Patrick Topping for you to nod your head to having just taken off your dancing shoes, which then fades into a couple of chilled trip hop jams courtesy of Chase & Status and Massive Attack. Moby then finishes up with Porcelain to drift you off into an intoxicant-induced coma. Full tracklist at http://thewestreview.com/2015/06/15/essential-after-party/

Essential: After Party

Rounding up the UK festival circuit is one of the biggies- Bestival, set to be held at the Isle of Wight. Hoping to be attendance in a few weeks time myself, and with the lineup beckoning me everytime I look at it, I've decided to put together a mix of the best the festival's 2015 lineup has to offer. Including Skrillex, The Chemical Brothers, Jamie xx, Underworld and Hudson Mohawke, this one is not to be missed. Full tracklist at www.thewestreview.com
