DJ MIX: Pinky – Binary Format
1st August, 2009 | 26 views

Filed under: deep house, recommended mixes @ 8:44 am

May as well blow my own trumpet and recommend one of my own mixes, kindly published and hosted by the excellent deeprhythms.com website as a guest mix. A departure from the norm in that it’s mixed entirely with digital music that I’ve bought, not available on vinyl, using Serato – yep, Dylan went electric and now so have I.

A totally ‘fun’ mix to indulge in, with a tracklist chosen around the theme of space and aliens and early sound effects created by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Some less-than-serious music mostly from, I’m guessing, the 50s but an inspiring selection that’s been crafted together with care. Came across this mix after I’d signed up with a beta invite to a new streaming music site called MixCloud where you can upload your own mixes that people can then listen to streaming over the net. They’re not open to the public at time of writing but this mix by Monster Bobby was created to play in venues before his band, The Pipettes, came on.

DJ Dangerous takes no prisoners with this high energy mix, cutting up tracks with crossfader nimbleness whilst slipping in snippets from others. However in doing so, he pushes up the pitch control on some tracks to squeeze the mix in, which may make the purists baulk at such rough treatment of ‘their’ classics. Personally, for me, it drives this mix forward and makes it great fun to listen to.

Props to _Hawk_ on the discogs forums for sending me a copy as part of a mix exchange many years ago.

DJ Mix: Aybee – The Blakout Podcast #2
14th September, 2008 | 111 views

Filed under: deep house, house, recommended mixes @ 1:17 pm

I’ve always followed Aybee’s output ever since purchasing his ‘Revolution Of 1 EP‘ on his own Deepblak label and his mixes were no exception to my roving ears, hungry for deepness. Since his collaboration with Ron Trent produced the sublime ‘Across The Universe‘ under the guise of Indigenous Space People, his contact with other producers mean his mixes always contain one or two exclusive tracks from CDr that seem to remain unreleased. Download or stream from the mixes section on his website or from his MySpace blog post (you will need to be a member and logged in).

I first came across mixes by James Bucknell on discogs a few years ago and was seduced by his silky smooth mixing skills of tracks that didn’t use drum machines and his long pedigree as a don of dance music that stretches back into the eighties. His breadth of taste and styles shouts loud and clear across all the mixes that I’ve hoovered up from the web to listen to, sometimes even within the mixes themselves. Illustrating a deft touch of choice that epitomizes the maxim that there’s only two types of music, good and bad; he most definitely knows the former. This mix is one of many that had me scrambling for my notebook as I was given a lesson in disco and many a penny was then spent tracking down some of these audio nuggets. He now resides in Sydney and regularly plays out, check out his website for mixes and blog for his latest forays in clubland.
