Well…after nearly ten years, I finally put together another mix.  Back in 2004 I had a bit more time on my hands.  These days, time is hard to come by.

I started putting this mix together last Summer for my friend Chris Danells birthday party.  Close to Christmas, I picked up the two opening tracks from soundcloud.com (thanks Worthy and Kill Frenzy).  I had intended to put the mix together over the Christmas break, but an ice storm in Toronto put an end to those hopes.

Three months later, and nearly nine months after I first began putting it together, here it is.

Track list as follows:

1). Acid Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy (Worthys Nut Crackin Rerub up) - Worthy
2). One in a million ( Kill Frenzy remix ) - Aaliyah
3). Ass Club (Worthy Remix) - B-Ju
4). Ruff Stuff (Eats Everything's Reruff) - Justin Martin
5). Dood - Claude VonStroke
6). Happy Mondays (Original Mix) - Sharam Jey, Jean Claude Ades
7). Birds (Original Mix) - Daniel Dexter

Top - Jimmy - March - 2014 - Demo - Mix

This is my last ever, recorded, all-vinyl set.  I laid it down in 2002 after having played a number of Gay Pride events in Toronto.

I'm going to have to do some digging to find the track list, but at the time there were a number of new releases as well as classics including Reach by Lil Mo Ying Yang, and Sunshine's Theme by Dubtribe Sound System.

This mix was created in one recording.  It was done using two Technics 1200 turntables, and a Pioneer DJM 500 mixer.  The sound quality is not perfect, but the technology I had at the time was inferior to what we have to work with today.

Please excuse the missing first second or so of the mix...something occurred during the recovery and transfer of the file off of a very old hard drive.  In doing so, I ended up with what you hear here. :(

I hope you enjoy it.

Pride 2002 DJ Mix

In the words of the late, great Chris Cornell, "I've been away for too long". Yes, every five to six years I decide to subject myself to the torture that is creating a mix for public consumption.

My mixes start from an idea of one or two songs. In this case, it was "Stay With Me" by Chris Lake. I added some favorites from the past year including new material from my friends Robb G (https://soundcloud.com/robbg) and Redux Saints (https://soundcloud.com/reduxsaints). Then I threw a bunch of older stuff and some classic remixes into the pile.

From there, I undertake a refinement process of weeding out songs that don't fit, figuring out my sequencing, and ultimately nailing down the programming.    It usually takes me about ten iterations of refinement to get it right. This one was nailed on the tenth take.

As usual, you will hear lots of tracks, with a combination of bass, boogie, vocal hooks, breaks, and straight up house. My mixes are all done live on my Pioneer CDJ/DJM 2000s, and are recorded to Audacity.

Given that I hadn't dusted off the gear in a while, I kept it simple. Very little use of effects/filters, but lots of loops, and hot cues.

I hope that you enjoy it. As always, feedback, comments, likes, and shares are always appreciated.

Top Jimmy - August 2019 Mix

My name is James, and these are my sounds.

I mix the way I like to hear things…shaken up, re-cut, multi-style, and high-volume.  All of my mixes are done live on my Pioneer DJM 2000 and Pioneer CDJ 2000s.

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it works for me.
