I thought I’d upload another one from the vault. This is one I did back in June 95 and reflects pretty well the type of stuff I used to play back then. It was ripped from a 90 minute cassette, encoded at 192 kbps and is in two parts.

Got quite a few different styles on this one, so I thought I’d give it the above title. I was going to do it a bit longer with about 8 more tracks but the last record skipped near the end and I thought I’d take the cue to just finish it off, seeing as it’s a reasonable enough length as it is. This makes a total of four mixes this month: had a bit of a backlog since December, I guess. I’ll be sure to do at least one for March but no promises for any more than that.

So, I have another one for this month with a mix of brand new, new-ish and some old tunes. There’s a range of different styles on it (and one or two sketchy moments!), broken, different styles of house, funk and space-funk. I have another, even more diverse, longer mix planned and might get to it over the next week or so.

I thought I’d do a mix of uptempo Jazz Dance tunes, tempos ranging from 130bpm to over 150bpm, old and new(-ish) tracks. For 08. and 14. I’ve given the name of the artists who actually performed the track. In both cases they are nominal “remixes” (of Jazztronik and 4Hero respectively), but the tracks were performed and recorded from scratch.

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!

Afro-beat, Balearic, Boogie, Bossa, Broken Beat, Disco, Funk, House, Jazz, Latin, Soul
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.).
