Am I the dumbest person in the room but that appears to be the original sample of that FSOL breakbeat killer.

this is the 3rd in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - music that i was playing and listening to - this time its all from 1989, and as i was buying more music by this time there will be 3 hour long mixes for '89. 
by 1989 i'd left school and was working 9-5 then spending all my other time listening to pirates and buying music. i didn't have enough money for turntables at this point so i used to chop up tracks using a crappy home hifi using the pause button. luckily nowadays i have turntables :D
if you are a promoter and would like to book me to play a 'trust me i was there' set, or any other era, please email belinda or charlotte at echo.

please share this mix with anyone you think might like it.

Bryan Gee / Jumping Jack Frost - Live At ESP 'Back To The Future' - 24th October 1992 - Side B

This track opens the Outlier album. It’s built from tension, that kind of magnetic pull on the dancefloor where everything’s unspoken, but understood. A little sweat, a little danger, that flicker of eye contact that changes everything. No introductions. No questions. Just energy.

I wanted something French house inspired, but not obvious. Clean mix, sexy groove, no vinyl static. I created a conversation with the vocal and sax responding to each other, almost like foreplay and that’s where the track finally lets go.

This one's for the ones who never needed to ask.

Eat Me Alive (On The Dancefloor)

Eminem - The Real Slim Shady (Louis Gell Remix)
