About the CD:
Wow, 3 disc's of (as the title suggests) absolute stone cold classics. This disc really was the soundtrack of my pre 'proper clubbing' days trying to get into the bars and clubs of Sunderland City Centre. This CD features some absolute bangers like Tony Di Bart's 'The Real Thing', Hard Drive's legendary 'Deep Inside', Felix's 'Don't You Want Me", Sub Sub's "Ain't No Love" and well... the list really does go on, and on, and on, and on. I hope you all enjoy this mix as many of us have. Play it LOUD!

This is a mini Retro mix I did for Capital FM.
I tried to get as many tunes as possible into a 30 minute time slot!
Enjoy.

So for episode 034 we had a lot of shouts after sharing the first disc on this compilation, which was the Jeremy Healy one. (Also excellent). But with so many requests it was time to get the Whitehead one up there, and after listening to again for the first time in over 10 years or so the memories of its brilliance came flooding back. It's a more soulful set with come epic vocal and feel good moments which made the mid to late 90's a much more enjoyable place to be.

So many stand out tracks but off the top of my head, Right and Exact, Tall and Handsome, Weekend, I Believe, Happiness and the highlight for me, the epic 'Sweetest Day of May' by Joe T. Vannelli Project. It's fantastically put together and a mix with truly belongs into the classic status. Whatever you're up to now Alistair... we salute you!

Massive shout out to Phil Millward for the share! Much appreciated  :D

106 - Up Yer Ronson 'The Soundtrack Vol.1' - Disc One mixed by Graeme Park (1995)

So here you have it, the final mix of a truly unforgettable night. It just went so damn quickly though! It was all a bit of a blur playing this last 30 minutes! So much so, I ended up playing for 1hr 20mins! haha. Hats off to the other DJ's Andy Ward, Neil Metzner & Marshall who played absolutely blinding sets and sent home a very happy bunch of middle aged party animals! We don't get out very often anymore due to moving on and having responsibilities like kids and jobs but to take a step back into the times when we didn't have a care in the world and lived for the weekend was just great. I doubt we'd be able to do it every weekend but maybe the odd party once or twice a year to commemorate the best times of our lives might be manageable for the next few years at least. 

So if you're up for doing it all over again then let me know and I'll see what we can come up with…Big love Muzza & Tony xx

Cream - The Classic's Mix

Number four is about four words: Beats, Bass, Blips and Stabs.

And what a better way to start proceedings off than with the revered anthem that is Future FJP by Liaisons D – supported by its mate Mr Monday and the D-Shake crew. Yes people, we have bleep-inspired lift-off...

We go way back with Bizz Nizz and their huge warehouse track We’re Gonna Get You followed at pace with the KC Flightt and Planet E. The bangin’ beats and boomin’ basses continue with the sounds of Mental Cube, Mr Fingers and GTO before we hit the all-time classic Let It Roll by Doug Lazy - and I’m sure you’ll admit, it’s a nice DJ trick that see’s LFO form the basis for our man Lazy to do his thang...

The original of What Time Is Love blends seamlessly into another belter in the shape of Smokebelch II by the Sabres Of Paradise before things are raised another notch by the unforgettable sound of Jaydee and Plastic Dreamse.

Mooncat, Unit 93, LNR, Quartz, The Cutter and Black Riot offer a few delights to the aficionados out there before Technotronic hit us with the cross-over smash - Pump Up The Jam.

As things draw to a close, we drop a BPM or two to we celebrate those MC’s that love beats, basses, and blips with tracks from Silver Bullet, Sugar Bear, King Bee and MC Tunes.

The mix is taken home by the classic Keep It Up by Y.B.U. before Mantronix introduce us to Juliette James. 

Take It Easy people...
