Ethan McNamara-February 2013 Promo Mix

If your from Leeds or the surrounding areas & you ain't heard of Ethan, where have you been??

I first met Ethan when he came to play at my old monthly Le Bloc a few years back, where we had to sneak him in as he was at the tender age of 17. We booked him through a recommendation of a friend of a friend.Let me tell you now......

Not many people can follow Junia Ovadose on the decks but Ethan stood up & made himself known & literally blew us all away. Even seasoned house heads were standing in owe at his knowledge wel ahead of his years in house. Since that party he has gone onto be part of the Tomorrow Audio crew(a great bunch), Played at various clubs such as The Garage, Mint & Attic. Everywhere he has played he has been man of the match in my opinion.

Keep an eye out for the this lad.He is surrounded by a great bunch, has the knowledge, Mixing ability’s & drive

How can he fail????

Zutekh Podcast 003 - Tristan Da Cunha - Come Into My House!

A cheeky Poddy that been on phone for a fair while now, One of my fave DJ's & Long time insparation Tristan Da Cunha.I bought my first ever "house" record of Tris back in the play music days & i've been watching him play for years at Basic's always one to be warming proceeding perfectly or taking it to the next level after the guest. The Basics 20th Birthday mix is one of my all time faves & this one is not too far behind!Proper party vibez!!

These are a few Tris had to say about it....

"When i was asked to do a podcast for Zutekh i started to think about what kind of
mix i should do for it.Do i play this do i play that? I have so many different flavours
that i am into but i didn't want it to be a mish mash of all of them.So with this in mind
i decided to pick a certain style and go with a particular vibe.I listen to Ad Shelton's
ace podcast again so i didn't do anything similar as i wanted to present something
that would be different than what was done previously I thought about doing
something cutting edge with loads of new promos and unreleased stuff, i thought
about doing a 90's deep house mix as i have loads of weapons on that tip too,but
what i realised is there's lots of those mixes floating about so i decided to go for one
of my favourite vibes, An Old School House Party Mix."

Maria Luisa - Tomorrowaudio Podcast

A cheeky mix from the Lady of TomorrowAudio. If you have not heard of the TomorrowAudio lot you've been hiding under a rock from the past 12months.

Anyow this is a mix from the Lady of TA Maria Luisa on this mix she stamps her authority on you whilst your listening with solid beats & techy skills. Keep an eye on this young lady as she is also into her production & by her track selection on this mix i can see some decent tackle been released via the TA stable.

TheGoodLife! Presents The Funky Uncle's Park Bench Mixtape

New York City based lifestyle agency and creative collective TheGoodLife! has partnered with famed photographer and noted music historian Ricky Powell and OG DJ Smoke L.E.S. to produce The Funky Uncle’s Park Bench Mixtape.

Released on the occasion of his 50th birthday, The Funky Uncle’s Park Bench Mixtape is Ricky Powell’s sonic interpretation of what it means to live TheGoodLife! and features a collection of rare tracks from the golden era of funky jazz . Curated to, in his words “be like a collage of colorful characters who make the kind of music that enhances the ambiance of any occasion,” the mix is nearly an hour and a half of funk flavor sprinkled with Ricky-isms.

The Funky Uncle’s Park Bench Mixtape was mixed by DJ Smoke L.E.S., another NYC native and music purist who had this to say about the project, “To be in the realm of an iconic figure like Ricky Powell, whose credibility speaks for itself, was amazing and I was humbled and honored to take part. Ricky’s music knowledge is incredible; he’s literally like an encyclopedia.”

Fantastic Man Live from ://about blank - Berlin [06-07-12]

Fantastic Man has been on my radar for a while now, as both Mic Newman & Fantastic Man both his alias' are wicked IMO, mixwise & Production wise. I recently come accross this live mix from his Fantastic Man aliais which frankly blew my socks off. Full on Shuffley grooves with everything in betweeen. This may not be everyones cuppa but it's without a doubt mine.!

Heres what they said about it....

An exclusive mix for the crew over at We Love... were we're holding a residency this summer at Space, Ibiza. Whilst the vibes in our room are a little more eclectic, we decided to go proper main room with this mix! Drawing from 25 years of club music - expect pianos, acid, big chords, sleazy vocals and even some proper techno!

Enjoy!

J.Cub Recorded Live at Throwing Shapes @ The Garage

 

 

We did an interview with J.Cub a while back and he kindly supplied us with a mix, well here's another one. Which i personally love. I don't need to say much else as J.Cub already has.

"When I was asked to play for the Throwing Shapes launch party I jumped at the chance, especially because I was asked to play The Waxwerks (Record Store by day, back room of the club by night).
The brief was simple, play what I want how I want but keep it interesting, so head 1st into my record collection I went.
If you like your sets a bit different taking you in, over, around, under and through the houses with a 4x4 beat then you should like this, if you like your sets to sound the same throughout then this probably isnt for you (try it you may like it)
Oh and all is played off vinyl, now you cant play anything else in a Vinyl only Record Store can you!!??"

Derrick May -98 WJLB (Detroit Radio)-1989.

I come across this whilst looking for the Derrick May-Mayday Mix(which i will find & put up very soon). This is basically a mix recorded in 1988 from live radio back int day here's what the chap had to say about it...

"I happened to press record back in 1988 on New Years Eve to catch this “MayDay Mix” by Derrick May as 98 WJLB (Detroit Radio) counted down to the new year 1989. I really loved recording these MayDay mixes because there were always traxx that were not in stores or If I happened to have the record I would hear a different version of the song than the one on the record. But the craziest thing about the MayDay mixes is the reel to reel that you can hear sometimes spinning backward through the mix. This is classic Detroit I bet no one has this recording ha-ha!!! I’m sure I have a lot more of them I can dig up as well. This is a good history lesson for those pretending to know about the roots of Detroit Dance Music!"

QUELL-MIXES

Quell is swell....have a peep!

Here's his Bio.

"One could be very challenged and even confused looking at Quell’s output so far. Although a relatively young artist in terms of discography, the producer has already made it clear that he is very little concerned about sticking to one style of music or a certain scene of musicians. It is so rare these days to find individuals who have a bold approach towards dance music, pushing genre defying DJ-ing and general diversity, not only in the studio but also in life. Ranging from mid tempo deep house and afro-beat house/techno, to straight up Chicago/SF jackin’ house, he has worked with labels such as Ibadan, These Days, Boddhi Satva's Offering Recordings, Kolour Recordings and Blockhead Recordings to name but a few.

Quell’s music is an amalgamation of images, sounds and nostalgia that derive from his perception of a universal “club sound”. Coming from an indie pop/rock background and having lived in London for a long time, since the tender age of 17, he was able to witness the flourishing worldwide dance movement of the late 90s and allowed himself to be exposed to a multinational musical collage that would later influence his art immensely.

Quell is a DJ's DJ. The words that would accurately describe his DJ performances are diversity, versatility and dance-floor perception. To quote the artist “…I’ll play almost anything I feel like given the right moment on the right dance-floor. House, Techno, Pop, Disco… I am generally against just filling up a bag with the latest batch of released records from the local record stores and going out to play wearing an imaginary blindfold...” If there’s one thing for certain, it is that as far as talent and promise go, Quell has plenty of both, and it won’t be long before he becomes one of dance music’s household names. "

Jef K - Late Night Soul Mix 01-01-2002

With most folk around these ends heading to Monsoon in the Park, pretending they've always loved Techno...

"Excuse me i remember when u was in Lush every Thursday & Iocus on a Friday giving Electro wobbles to Micky Slimm,& you told us that our music was boring"...Rant over!

In all fairness i'm not really that into the Cocoon,Vagabonds,trendy vest,muscle queen,fake tan & Geebee vibe, So if i was fighting fit today(Man Flu). I'd be heading down the Garage this eve to see Jef K alongside solid residents Tristan Da Cunha & Buckley! 

I've had my eye on Jef K for a while now ever since he did the "i'm in love today" with fellow Frenchman Chris Carrier, he's a solid producer & a wicked DJ who clocking up some serious air miles now. That place will be rocking tonight & to add unk to Funk Iain o Hare & Charlie Myers will be on Backroom duties.!!

So all in all Fuck Cocunt in the Park, listen to this mix instead of going there & head down to see the man in the flesh later today!..

Enjoy!
