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.).

This one is a bit sketchy in places but I think it turned out more or less alright. The idea was a selection of Soul, Jazz & Funk at around 100bpm or so. It’s all at that tempo except for the middle section of Chameleon which speeds up to around 120 (and includes that famous Ballistic Brothers’ sample) and the end of Windy C.

Did this one over the weekend. Like the Deeper mix it has a combination of newish and old stuff but probably is a little more diverse musically (hence the title). I’m not 100% pleased with some of the mixing on this and contemplated re-recording the whole thing but I decided to put it up anyway, few rough edges and all. 06-02-25Diverse.mp3.

Something else a bit different. I don’t like the term “chill-out mix” – a term which has surely been done to death by all those awful compilation cds cluttering any record shop – so I’m calling this mix of deep jazz and stuff a contemplation mix instead: 06-02-23Contemplation.mp3.
