New Mix: Moods & Melodies

Well, here is a new mix from me: something compiled, executed and delivered, just because…

Since we kicked off our Attic project last year; the vast majority of my DJ’ing has been centred around a housier, disco-centric sound—for which Attic is known—for both, our own events and other ad hoc DJ bookings in around town.

Of course, we love our Attic sound, however; during this last little while—somewhat regrettably—I’ve not had much of an opportunity to sit back and relish in some other musical guilty pleasures. This particular line-up of deeper, melodic selections has allowed me to do just that. This is a very much an indulgent mix—let’s make no mistake about that.

Within, you’ll hear some newer pieces; you’ll hear some that I had stashed away for such an opportunity. Each track has moved me or has made me feel something.

It’s melodic, it’s moody and if I’ve done my job correctly; you’ll be taken on a journey for next 80 minutes or so.

I really hope you dig this one.

Live at Attic presents Laurence Guy Mix (10th March, 2018)

So, as the dust has settled on our recent Attic event headlined by Laurence Guy—our fourth instalment—I have just made available my recorded set from the evening.

I opened up shop for the first hour on this occasion, so, accordingly; this is very much a lower, slower effort—105 BPM upwards—though, in doing so, I did my best to retain a lot of the melodic elements that make up our “Attic sound”.

I really enjoyed putting this one together and kicking off the night in a method that I saw fit—and what an evening it turned out to be!

I hope you enjoy this one, all the same.

Comments and feedback—and if you really enjoy it, bookings—are always welcome! 😉

’till next time!

Live at Foxlife Mix (10th June, 2017)

Here is a(nother) new mix from me: the recording from my set last weekend at the Queen’s Birthday long weekend edition of Foxlife, playing alongside Slyfox resident, Rabbit Taxi, Pip Dalton and Öncüm Yılmaz.

I was handed the closing duties on this occasion—a fresh change and a little different from the warm-up set times to which I’m generally used to!—and played right through ’till morning, finishing at around six o’clock.

This particular set features a combination of my preferred melodic, Attic-style disco-driven deep house, as well as some tougher, techier numbers and concludes on a floaty, uplifting note; just the way to bring in the morning for the weary heads on the dance floor!

Really hope you dig this one!

Live at S*A*S*H Mix (4th December, 2016)

Here is the recording from my recent set at S*A*S*H, closing The Den in the early hours of Monday morning!

Massive shouts to the super-receptive crowd who danced right throughout — many of whom very likely kicking on from the ‘Tell No Tales’ festival from earlier in the day!

I was able to play a wide range of tunes that are currently floating my boat: from my current Attic-style cuts, some disco-infused house, concluding on more of a drum-driven tip.

With that, special thanks must be paid to the S*A*S*H crew — particular Cris — for the booking consideration (and indeed, trust), once again. And certainly not to forget George (Mesan) who played an outstanding, warm set to open up the room and attract a “proper Den crowd”.

Really hope you like this one! Until next time…

Live at Crane Fridays Mix

Here is my recent set at Crane Fridays – from Friday, 12 September – supporting homegrown progressive house legend, Luke Chable.

The idea of this set – at least from my perspective – was to create a bridge between the more accessible, laid back Friday evening sounds usually heard at Crane on weekly basis, to the tougher sounds of progressive and tech, played by supporting act, Matt Clay, and Luke himself.

I’ve thrown in a couple of new ones I’m really digging at the moment, and there are a couple in there that I’ve blown the dust off!

Hope you enjoy, in any case!
