Sound Factory Classics

JP Classics set live at merge

I have received so many positive responses after my last Sound Factory inspired classics mix of the darker and dirtier sounds asking for a follow up. I had always wanted to do a mix with the unforgettable vocals that Jonathan used to play but the only way to appropriately pay homage to his DJ'ing style, to attempt to evoke the emotions he was able to do on a weekly basis is to recreate each song as he would.  For those who never shared the dance floor with us at 618 w 46th St in the early 2000's what he would do was to rip each track apart and put it together again using multiple (unreleased) versions including instrumentals, acapellas, strings, flutes, pads and a Pioneer EFX-500. The effect of these extra steps would be to constantly leave the audience waiting to see how a song would be played and whether new nuances would be added.  Often times these tracks would be extended upwards of 15 minutes each which is unheard of in the modern day.  I mostly stopped collecting these songs years ago, but I had the idea and a few important friends and contributors (thanks to those who know who they are) gave the final missing pieces that I never had in order to justify doing a mix of this length and in this style. My own personal requirement is to only include songs of the highest (lossless) audio quality as opposed to the hideous sounding versions of these songs that were shared on Napster/Soulseek that have now worked there way into other sets and on YouTube.   Additionally I tried to avoid songs that were included in CD's that were sold by Sound Factory unless I could recreate them differently than was done on the CD, many of the songs that aren't in this 8+ hour mix that otherwise would be are for this reason.  I wanted to share something completely unique and special in a way that has never been shared.  Every song included in this mix are all lossless audio studio masters or were released solely on vinyl and have been personally ripped by me. I hope this mix is as meaningful to you as it is to me. The tracks selected were chosen from a series of tracklists that I had personally written in the summer-fall 2003 period from Sundays at Sound Factory and the objective of this mix is to transport you back to that time. It's nothing other than a tribute to Jonathan who was a godlike figure at the time and has musically captivated so many of us.  

Downloads are not available at the moment but I may reconsider that... Please share, comment and message me directly for thoughts and feedback.  

PS: I am worried about c'right infringement so if this becomes removed I'll find an alternate venue.
