Graeme Park - Cream, Liverpool 1994 (Cream CD 001)

Spin Inn, Eastern Bloc, The Mix Factory, Da Intalex...just some of the Manchester musical institutions and outfits that Mark XTC has been involved with in his now twenty five year career across records shops, clubs and early rave culture.

Playing across hip hop, classic house and also well known as a proponent of Drum and Bass / Jungle throughout his career Mark is a hugely versatile DJ and his Hacienda Tribute mix, published now on this site and soundcloud, sees him take to three decks and CD-J’s in putting it together.

Showcasing the skills throughout, taking accapellas, additional beats and put his own spins on the format, “Always There” and “Dirty Cash” knock out over classics such as Jam The Dance from the outset. A tribute to the recently passed Mark Bell with an airing of “LFO” as Mark throws in the better known tunes such as “Voodoo Ray”, “Promised Land” against US underground  such as Corina’s  “Temptation” 

With extended mixing a feature of the mix, and Mark laying his own markers, scratching in and out, from “French Kiss”, “Higher States Of Consciousness” and the Sasha remix of Better Days, Mark expertly blends the tracks in a set that pulls no punches.

The rarely heard dub of My Friend Sam featuring Viola Willis kicks off the final section of the mix as B Sides Volme II, ”Casanova” and “The Shaker Song” all come together as rare hip hop cut The Doc’s “Portrait Of A Masterpiece” and an untouched “Strings Of Life”  bring Mark’s exhilarating hour to a close.

Mark XTC - Hacienda Three Decks Tribute Mix

After losing my connection with old skool for a fair amount of time, I took some time out and pressed the big 'reset' button. So I'm pleased to present my set from Shine at Leeds Warehouse, it went down really well...thank you to everybody that was there, you were a great crowd. x

Ian Ossia - Shine DJ Set July 2015 [Old Skool House]

My old school sets are inspired by the cassettes I heard just as I was getting into the dance/ rave scene as a teenager in roughly '90-'92. Those tapes came from places including Grin DJ's (Vertigo/ Welly, Jon Kelly), Shelleys (Sasha, Dave Seaman, Nipper), and some of the bigger raves at the time including Fantazia, Obsession, Universe ect. 

Everything I mix is done on two Technics with Allen & Heath Xone22 mixer via Serato scratch live.

If you like the tunes please feel free to comment, like or share with like minded old school souls. 

If any trainspotters want track ID's ect just ask :)

Much love, 12 Inch Lover xx 

12 Inch Lover - Old School Classics Vol 1

Soak was one of the original pioneering house nights widely known for hosting nights at the Warehouse and Corn Exchange in Leeds. The Exchange is now just one of three Corn Exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a center for trade and remains one of 2 Grade I listed buildings in the city alongside the town hall. The Warehouse still stands hosting club events weekly.  

This set was recorded live in the summer of 1993 featuring tracks from Fishbone beat, Spooky and the truly fabulous dilemma. Enjoy x
