I don’t think I’ve realised how stressed I’ve been during the last few months until the last few days. I don’t know why but I was listening to Girl Unit’s 2010 mix and a big imaginary cloud that was hanging over my head since I made that OMG video has shifted. For some reason I’m really happy and finally able to appreciate music fully again. Just as well because I’ve got my first single dropping any day soon on 10″ coloured green vinyl and another one round the corner coming on digital. Tonight we worked on a pretty decent remix of Drake’s Shut It Down.

Saturday we’re DJing at Hipster’s Don’t Dance – come along it will be fun.

Here are some old old old garage tracks copied off vinyl.

DBX – FREAKIN

B-LIVE – MUSIC SO WONDERFUL

Enjoy.

His last mix disgusted, enthrilled and make me feel old in equal measure. New era vol. 8 featured Funky Dee’s charming “Are you gonna bang doe”, Roska, Busy Signal, Zed Bias, Seany B, Sticky, my remix of Birthday Sex, and loads more. You can download that here.

I can’t believe I’ve never put this MP3 up before. I think our remix of the track’s one of the best out there. People seem to like it so we’re doing lots of UK Funky material.

JEREMIH – BIRTHDAY SEX (V’N'D PRODUCTIONS UK FUNKY REMIX)

Where’s all the good Italo, booty bass and freestyle at? I’ve spent the last few months listening to old garage which I was probably too middle class to listen to first time around.

I recently rediscovered this classic. I used to play it out all the time and can still remember Jitset and Alex Tea dancing to it at Catch.

JAMESON & VIPER – SELECTA (URBAN HERO)

PS. Sorry for the huge gap in posts – I’ve been having Wordpress troubles which aren’t 100% fixed yet.

Jeremih – Birthday Sex (Venom and Damage remix)

DJ Assault came round my house on Saturday. I cooked him chicken soup – I don’t think he liked it.  I think he’ll enjoy the party I’m putting on for him on Saturday more.  The line up is pretty wow.

Here are some tracks to get us into a party mood.

DONAE’O – MY PHILOSOPHY (BOUNCE) – MIAMI BASS MIX

ANQUETTE – SHAKE IT DO THE 61ST

PRINCE RAHIEM – LOOSE MY MONEY

My mother’s starting reading this blog so I’m not sure I want to do it anymore.
JAHEIM – JUST IN CASE (DUB-A-HOLICS ROLLER REVIVAL)

Bump and flex with your fake yardie flow to this…
MIS-TEEQ – ONE NIGHT STAND (AGENT X REMIX)

VENOM AND DAMAGE FEAT JENNIFER LOPEZ – ONLY GOD (DEMO)

A few years ago I was DJing every week often to big crowds at warehouse raves. I couldn’t mix a milkshake then but thankfully I was often playing with Raggatha Christie and Brains so things worked out. We never really gave much thought about what to play – we just picked bangers. These really badly pressed bootlegs got crowds dancing without fail – it was easy.

WILEY – IGLOO (UNKNOWN BOOTLEG)

GODS GIFT – MIC TRIBUTE (UNKNOWN BOOTLEG)

THE ENDZ – R U FROM THE ENDZ (UNKNOWN BOOTLEG)

DJ VENOM AND FRIENDS AKA 7 YEAR GLITCH YOUNGERS – BATTY RIDDIM

BEST BOOTLEG NEVER

Something to look forward to.
