Hot, sweaty city nights. The Urban Heat Island warms up the landmass and where to go but dancing in the smog-laced street, unless you happen to house it up in your nearest club. Hot In The City is a deep,

Back in my (younger) clubbing days I can remember watching a drug awareness video. They put a load of rats in a box, gave some of them speed which caused them to run around crazily hyperactive. The ones they gave
Continue readingGhost In The Bed
Mixing this haunted house made me think of a ghost under the covers with me. Twisted tech with minimal vocals, the mix builds to a crescendo with an old reworked classic, Jaydee – Plastic Dreams, which was one of my
Continue readingJack Attack
Jacking your body has always been a part of house music and this mix has a few ‘Jack’ references. My own interpretation of the required picture and actual mix name comes from one of my greatest Christmas presents back in
Continue readingLittle Disco Biscuit
The best time for dance music in my opinion was the early 1990s. It was the heyday of the Rave Scene and dancefloors were packed with sky high dancing bods. The reason I like this period is not that the

Haunted House? Well – for want of a better title – I thought there was some spooky theme going on in the track titles for this deep and funky mix which explores some of the finer elements of 2011 deep

Shuffle Artist Management has expanded its roster of artists. In addition to managing Wez G, Houston-based dance vocalist, Tricia Lee Kelshall and Trinidadian rock n’ rollers jointpop, have been on the books for a while. We are now pleased to welcome
Continue readingTrue Romance
The songs included on this mix seemed to me to have a lovey dovey theme and feel so hence the title ‘True Romance’. Deep and funky, it flows nicely, with stand out tracks from Glimpse and Vincenzo and obviously the

A solar flare is a sudden brightening observed over the Sun surface, which is interpreted as a release of a massive amount of energy. Here in the UK we are experiencing a great deal of sunshine and warmth which is

When I release a DJ Mix across the internet I picture listeners tuned in on their ipods as they go about their day to day lives, all across the world… For this mix there is a certain mellow ambience and

It’s a bright fresh spring day in Wales and the latest mix is complete. There is a certain European flavour to this one as that is where the freshest sounds in house music are coming from, hence the Alpine scenery

It is September already and the summer is almost gone… Sunshine and Showers preside. This rainbow mix of house flavors begins with some fairly light breezy Italian House and simmers to the boil via lush tribal sounds to a boiling

I have visions of space. In my dreams I see other worlds, worlds where club music thrives. Worlds where new technologies abide and beats manifest to deliver the ultimate party to the thronging masses. As I deliver these mixes to

Float off into some loopy tech here as I guide you on a UFO’s journey through the house music galaxy. As a DJ and indeed on the dancefloor it is often difficult to stay grounded. The Music Lifts you Up,
