Life is a dream

Habitat DJ Comp promo (June 2015)

All year I have been wanting to grab the best of this genre, the best of that genre and take people on an eclectic, perfect, spirit journey ....... only to realise I never ever got round to mixing.

This was a complete off the cuff, spontaneous mix based on how I was feeling, no planning, no thought just at one with the music inspired by the late, great Robert Miles.

I hope you enjoy.

The Children Want Techno

This is a very prominant mix for me as for almost 3 years I have not really been able to touch and certainly not enjoy being on the decks due to past associations with old friends, nights out, mistakes I have made.

I recently felt msyelf called to log in to beatport and upon doing so found some amazing tracks in my hold bin from more than 5 years ago.

At this moment it hit me that father time waits for no man and we should never give up on what we love or who we are just because people have a problem with it.

I deeply enjoyed playing around with this mix I hope you all like it, please as always leave your feedback good or bad, it is all growth at the end of the day.

Father Time's Illusive Inception

This mix exemplifies the anxious, erratic and overwhelmed state I was in at the time of recoring, ahead of my 1st trip back home to Scotland since moving to Australia September 2013.

I was not present with what I was doing; answering business calls, setting up email responders and scheduling social media funnels all whilst recording a mix in honour of me meeting my baby nephew Declan for the 1st time.

For the most part everything that is on the internet is ship shape, shiney & polished perfect as god forbid people see our human side when our work is not always 100%, our best or has a few mistakes.

This has been me my whole life............until NOW!
I am now happy to embrace all sides of who I am and know that my imperfections are in fact what make me perfect, so f&*k it here it is!

The tracklist as always is pretty bang on and takes you on a journey throughout the different layers of techno and house although there are some glaring errors as a result of what I have noted above. However, the intent behind the mix i.e. the love I have for my family and the courage it took to go back home and face all aspects of my past self is worthy of a share; so please as always comment any feedback you may have.

I hope you enjoy #musicistheanswer

The Prodigal Son's Return To Madness

The 1st mix I was able to do upon arriving in the sand (Doha, Qatar) 
It is a little vocal pick me up to remind me of all the good fun-loving criminals I had left behind in Scotland.
Ideal for anyone wanting some sunshone in their life, very easy listening with plenty of funk in there.

Pulse - The Final Vinyl (March 2006)

Some tunes that were floating my boat February 2012 with a little hidden message from Will Smith at the start that if you want something bad enough in life you have to be prepared to do what others are hesitant to. 
There is no excuse for laziness and no greater reward than the satisfaction of achieving your goals and reflecting upon the hard work which enable it so. 
We must educate the youth of today that the subjective term "success" is objectified by doing what we love and loving what we do, this is our ONLY job in life and when we find this sweet spot, there is no work!!

Unpaid Overtime

There is a lot of emotion behind this November 2012 mix as it was painfully my last mix on the CDJ 2000's before I sold them to buy a custom engagement ring for my ex, Stacey.
Deeper than that though I was very confused as to whether I should give up something I loved for something or someone else and even more so I was wondering should I be getting married? 

As life evolved it became apparent that yes marriage is for me, just not with Stacey but I have so much love for that woman as without her I would not be married with my beautiful Sam and the life we have together.
Upon reflection I think the whole engagement was constructed to fill a deeper void, which was that I was missing home, and I felt a little outta sight, outta mind from my old "friends".
All of this was of course at the subconscious level, even the names of the tracks chosen were from an unaware point of blissful ignorance -  house lesson, bassline soldiers, they frontin', Love Rehab and Oliver Koletzi's 50 ways to love your liver, to name a few.
I was pretty confused and was literally trying to find my place in the world, so I dedicate this mix to anyone who is feeling lost, anxious, overwhelmed or a bit disjointed from their true calling.
We are all but grains of sand in the vast landscape of life, but without us inhabiting via this speck of space, the whole construct becomes incomplete, so never forget who you are and how pivotal you are to the continual spin of this big blue dot we are on within the infinite universe.

Memoirs Of The Forgotten Sandman

I was inspired to do this a few weeks back after coming out of a vinyasa class as I had my zen on.

I went home to listen to some old loungey beats that I have always enjoyed as separate tracks and ended up making a mixed tempo eclectic mis of hed kandi/buddhabaresque beats.

My wish is that my yogi teachers can use this downloadable 48min mix in their 1hour classes with time left for silence and stillness to tune into the internal music of self.

That said you do not have to be a yoga practitioner to enjoy this mix.

If you are feeling stressed or indeed blissed out; whatever your state just throw it on and immerse yourself in the beats and lyrics.

I hope you enjoy it.

Namste.

House Flow of The Yogi

Inspired by people misunderstanding the power of the full moon energy I decided to do a dark (techno) to light (house)mix with Sadhguru and Neil de grasse talking about the lunar energy & understanding its effects on our behaviour.

***Apologies for the abrupt end to "buggin" but the dog was barking like a maniac and next door had recently been broken into at the time of recording so I stopped abruptly to calm him down.
I hope the twisted take on the tale of us remix of Energy 52's Cage Del mar makes up for it.


Flow with the energy of the universe and see that it is you and you will be powerful beyond measure.

I hope you enjoy.

Winter's Over Mix (March '12)

Not a carefully selected layout, more so just a selection of tracks that I collected in December that I wanted to  mix on NYD top signify the excitement of a big year ahead.

After travelling Scotland for a month and then driving across Australia from Perth to Gold Coast to Sydney to Canberra to Sunshine Coast, this has been my 1st chance to get back behind the decks.

FYI - Don't download rips from youtube and expect the same quality.

I was wondering why I was finishing the mix with Alex Arnouts "vanishing point" as while i nice chuggy track with a wicked baseline it is not how I would normally end a mix.

So i started to bring in tale of us epic remix of Energy 52's "Cafe Del Mar", then it hit me....

Vanishing point aptly named, vanished or froze on screen and then all the beat grids were knocked off, which threw me for a minute. I dont typically look at the wave forms other than to see when drops, breaks are etc. but this caught my eye and resulted in a poor last mix.

Apologies folks but lesson learned - buy the tracks from the original artist for best quality.

New Beginning's 2019

A collection of tunes that were some of my fav's of 2018.

I was having a pretty "meh" day and meditation, exercise, good food was not shifting it.

Music it was for this grumpy dj.

Not exactly happy with it but there's no point in being bashful or over analysing like a doc, it is what it is, so sneezy does it dopey.

It has served it's purpose and letting me go and get a goods night sleepy, ready for a new day and a new opportunity to live my dreams.

I hope you enjoy.

Grumpy's Happy Ending

Some classic house thrown in with some of that tribal balearic sound that used to bless my lobes on bora bora and dc10 every summer in the holy isle that is IBIZA.
Inspired in preparation for my brother Stef Sifandos wedding in mykonos this September 2019

Ale Baile & The 40 Greeks

Starting with a little remix of the Peaky Blinders tune got me on a bit of a journey into the future.

Hence the deep then chuggy, jacking then tribal, techno then house shift.

As always I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment, like and share below.

All feedback is good feedback.

April Fools Love A Remix

Paying homage to 1 of my gretaest mentors Dr. Joe Dispenza with some 3 decks fun.

Like his teachings I was very in the moment so it is pretty raw, but I enjoy ed it nonetheless.

Will release this to everyone early May so if you manage to listen before then May the 4th Be With You my Supernatural geniuses and remember NOW is the new later and we are:

"Growing in numbers 
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now 
'Cause we are all made of stars

Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now 
'Cause we are all made of stars

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now 
'Cause we are all made of stars

Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round 
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round

Slowly rebuilding 
I feel it in me 
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now 
'Cause we are all made of stars"

I hope you enjoy,
Mark x

Halloween Cellar Party (Oct 2010)

These are some of the sultrier dark tunes that I have downloaded this summer that I have been wanting to mix.

However after selling my decks 5months ago in oz I had nothing to mix on 😞

Sorted now with my DDJ 400, this was LITERALLY MY 1st PLAY as I was itching for a mix that much.

In hindsight maybe should have practised the sampler and effects 1st, as I am so used to mixing with 3 decks, however it is raw and real....just like how I try to live life.

I hope you enjoy!
