A bit on the euphoria of Southport Weekender / our set at Fuse I recorded a mix a bit like what you can expect in the Powerhouse main room there / what we played in our set on Monday night. Not the usual deepness nor rawness. Nope, some hands in the air polished vocal House. Actually the stuff we used to play when we started more than 8 years ago. Not that is a mix full of oldies. Nope, some new(ish) releases in it too.

I recorded this also because I need to school some friends of mine a little more. The ones that keep asking to play more “classics”. Or keep asking me to play “Days Like This’ or “Jaguar”. Not that I don’t like these tunes but I’m tired of playing them. I think / hope they mean I need to play some more accessible music from time to time. A remark I can live with. Although I’ll never stop pushing those deep & dirty sounds, I don’t mind incorporating some main room House in my sets (and I was glad to hear Rick Wilhite has that same philosophy). If it’s good music I’ll play it.  And as a dj you need to play for the dancers so I’ll keep those comments in mind when playing in the future.

And because I’m rearranging my collection I rediscovered some beauties. Some are in this mix, some you can expect in my sets.

I want to dedicate the mix to Karl. To cheer him up. A first class bastard crashed into his parked car and fled. That’s low. Hope this will get his mind off things a bit.
