Apologies for the hiatus, here’s a new mix. I had planned this as a longer mix but thought the first part worked better as standalone. I’ll try and get to the other part over the next week or so. This one goes from around 105 to 120 bpm

    I dj-ed at Global, Pod Lobby Bar with Michael Black last Friday week. Had some problems trying to get the whole thing recorded but I managed to get my second set down reasonably ok so I thought I’d put it up here:

    Bit later than planned, here’s a new mix. I’d been working on this for a few weeks but just hadn’t managed to find the time to record it until now. It’s another epic mix, the longest one so far with 47 or so tunes over three and three quarter hours and goes from 93 bpm up to 140 bpm with a mix of various styles and of old and new. If the 310 mb file is too big to download in one go you can also download it in three parts (each of which can work as a standalone mix).

    Got another one for this month. Got some latin jazz opening and closing this one and it kicks into a slightly higher tempo than usual - 130 bpm or so working down to the mid 120s later on - and more of an emphasis on the four on the floor stuff. I should have a few more broken joints on the next one.

    Ok, as promised, here’s the “epic” mix I intended to record earlier in the week. Like the 32 Tune mix, this is another double length mix, also with 32 tunes (assuming both sides of the Alice Russell 7″ count as two separate tunes) and also with a range of different type of stuff on it, but this one has less of the Soul and Balearic and a bit more of the Funk and Afro-Beat. There are one or two sketchy moments, but not bad enough to make me want to go back and re-record the whole thing again!

    I thought I’d try something different. This one is over twice as long as the usual mixes (which means it won’t fit on one cd - sorry). The idea was to try and get a lot of different types of stuff on it. Soul, Jazz, Funk, House, Broken, Latin, Afro-beat, Disco, Balearic. It’s a bit of an epic in more ways than one. I actually recorded (or thought I recorded) it on Monday night but the file didn’t save properly to my computer (had to happen for the really long mix, didn’t it) so after abandoning the third rescue attempt, I went ahead and re-recorded the whole thing last night in the same sequence, adding in one extra track (04.).
