Laundry kicked off last weekend in a brand new venue – the Basement of Hogan’s on George’s St. On the decks was myself, Conky Claire Roche and Giles K. The night was a great success, good crowd, great tunes and loads of fun all round, we love the new venue and we’re very happy.

This is my set from the night – I just added one at the beginning that I like and starts off the mix well. It’s deep and smooth for the first while getting progressively more funky and chunky as I built it up to get the dancefloor bouncing.

Here is a quick video from the night too:

The big boys in the school playground of electronic music have predominantly been Tech House and Techno – they’ve been the main players on the scene for a good while now. Not so long ago the new kid on the block, Minimal, took quite a prominent stance in the group, but despite all the hype, very many people just can’t take Minimal seriously, he’s always been a bit of a ‘Marmite’ genre.

Recently though, a new revelation has come about. One quiet little kid that has been chilling in the corner of the playground – happily doing his own thing – has started to get noticed. That kid is Deep House. Everyone knows him and he’s certainly been relatively well liked in certain scenes, moreso the hotel bar scene rather than the Ibiza Superclub – but it seems that just recently, the big boys of music have invited him to play with them – and Deep House is now starting to make a prominent impact on the whole scene…

I’ve always been a fan of deep house. It’s always had a cool sexy vibe to it, sets the mood perfectly for a sleek hotel bar or even the background music to a cool tv program. So I have to say I’m really liking how Deep House is now cracking in with the others. I’ve said for ages that the already fine lines between genre’s like Tech House, Minimal and Techno are fast becoming difficult to tell apart at all, but I think it’s great that they can all now play quite happily together – now with a deeper funkier groove.

This mix – “Deep Or What” – aptly named after the tune I chose to begin with, is a nice selection of deep house type tunes with a smidgen of funky / techy stuff thrown in towards the end. It’s not going to tear the roof off with screams of elation, but let play discretely in the background it should get heads nodding, feet tapping, and maybe a groove or two will swing out on the dancefloor, to spark off the mood for a great night ahead…

Sunday morning is one of my favourite times to mix. You’re tired and your head is it bit foggy from the night before, so putting on a few smooth sounds is the perfect way to open the day. This morning I pressed record – started off with some nice laid back tunes and let it flow from there. Leads on to come chunky percussions and funky basslines, perfect to waken you up for the day ahead…

Enjoy…

Myself and a few lads from one of the forums have set up an internet radio station – and I’ve been doing a few sets in the evenings.

Minimal Techno is, I think, a very misunderstood genre. Since I started delving into the world of Mininmal, I’ve got completely enthralled in it and really haven’t been listening to anything else over the past few months. My first minimal type mix – Minimalistic – focused on the more upbeat, bouncy type tunes. This is a little different. What I’ve aimed to do here is arrange a selection of tech house, minimal and techno tunes in a smooth journey which can be enjoyed by all.

Out of all my mixes I think this is my favourite – for some reason it has got very few downloads here, but I urge you all take a listen, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

You know those nights when you’ve been out having a wild night in a club, come back to a house party with some close friends, and continue on until late into the next day… It could be 5am, 7am or even later, the darkness has subsided, sun is coming out, the party is settling down, yet the mood is still warm and happy, just more chilled and relaxed than the mayhem that was being unleashed a few hours earlier. The need for big pounding baselines has now past, and what is called for now is a more chilled out, laid back and subtle selection of smooth and relaxed yet upbeat, nice, warm sounds.

“Beautiful Morning” is for just these times. A very special collection of tunes I have put together, a mix of styles from everything to house to techno – some tunes that individually would not necessarily be out of place on way more hard and chunky sets mixes, but pieced together selectively to be the perfect soundtrack to the moment.

Enjoy…

This mix is full of the most dirty, nasty, filthy tunes you’ve ever heard, with a few pornographic accapella’s thrown in for good measure. If you are in any way sensitive, this may not be for you…

However if you like a little bit of filth mixed in with you tunes once in a while, you’re in for a treat .

Tracklisting
Jerry Ropero – Fuck U
Sebastian Ledger – Grab My Hips

This was a pretty difficult mix and took a lot of hard work to get it right. It’s a total mix of many varying styles, some recent releases but some very very old songs too.

One of my favourite producers at the moment is a guy called Deadmau5. “Joel Zimmermann” is from Toronto Canada, and is one of the hottest progressive producers around at the moment. I like his music so much that I decided to make a mix containing tunes that are solely produced or remixed by him.

This mix is one of my favourites to listen or dance to – some really nice chunky Progrssive / Tech House  and Electro…

I’ve been really getting into the whole Minimal thing recently. This mix is not ‘true minimal’ – it’s more of the bouncy-funky side of minimal, but a good ease-in for those that are new to it.  I actually used to hate it but I spent the weekend downloading a few random minimal tracks and have really got into it since then…

Anyway I went out Partying on Friday night, and as no one else was home when I got back early in the morning, I decided to mix up a few of my new tunes. For the hell of it I pressed record just to see what would happen. Now bear in mind that this was not planned in any way and I barely knew any of these tunes at the time – but considering all, I think it turned out pretty well!

Finally got around to recording a new mix over the weekend. It’s the first one I’ve recorded in many months, and also the first one I’ve done on my new M-Audio Torq Xponent. I’ve got a huge amount of new music lately, most of it on the deeper, darker and chunkier side of Electro and Tech House. It’s a pretty good indication of the type of music I’m into at the moment – I hope you like it.

Sorry no tracklisting – I’m too lazy, but to give you an idea, tunes from: Booka Shade, Julien Jabre, Cirez D, Sebastian Ledger, Surkin, Calvin Harris, Robbie Riveria, Andrea Bertolini, Ferry Corsten, Martijn Ten Velden.
