PODCAST: Live Sessions- Kazbar Kuts 04.2012

admin | April 16, 2012 - 4:30 pm

The second of my LIVE SESSIONS mixes of 2012, this mix was extracted from my set at Clapham’s friendliest local gay bar Kazbar.

On Clapham High Street, the Kazbar is a gay icon of the area, being for many their ‘local’ pub…a place to meet friends, drop in for a drink, or a gather before pre-clubbing. Closing at 1am, during the week the bar plays commercial video clips, while on the weekend DJs are bought in to give the place some kick.

This mix was recorded on a Friday night.

Playing a bar needs a careful balance to be accessible but not predictable, uplifting so people may groove, but not. It needs to be the perfect companion to drinking and the perfect beat to warm them up for the next stage of their night.

My approach to the Kazbar is keeping it strictly funky. It’s a place I can let my groovier side out, where a lot of disco flavoured grooves meet vocal house, sexy commercial remixes saddle up to some of the biggest (and best) current club tracks. Latin touches, classic remixes and older tracks from over the last couple of years are also included. Along with the newer tracks, you can enjoy others that are familiar.

Get down and boogie with the Kazbar Kuts. Over 1.5 hour of funky house grooves. LIVE SESSIONS do not contain track listings.

admin | October 23, 2011 - 8:15 pm

Play 2011 is a collection of stomping brand  new (well at least 80%)  hot house tunes freshly squeezed from the MP3 press. I have also added a few current dance floor favourites and a few current essential house tracks in the mix.

This is fresh in the nuFunk, electro, uplifting and progressive style. To get the most out of PLAY, add a few friends and give it a spin. PLAY is better the second and third time around. By that time you will have gotten to know the hooks and feel for the ones that can really rock you.

So, let the music PLAY!

Podcasts: CASA LATINO 2011- No Americano Two

admin | March 4, 2011 - 11:25 am

With Spring on the horizon I thought it was time for another Latin House specialist mix. Picking up where No Americano left off (one of my most successful pod-casts of 2010 ) this is a collection of 18 pumping Latin flavoured grooves with enough cha, cha, cha to see you through to Summer.

Casa Latino 2011: No Americano Two

Casa Latino 2011: No Americano Two

On Casa Latino I kick it up with another collection of Latin grooves, jazzy beats and pieces, foreign disco injection and progressive drum beats. This mix features tunes inspired by the We Speak No Americano style integrating ‘traditional’ Latin  ‘folk’ music with driving beats. Typical, in that Spanish house kind of way, the merging of pumping house and camp ‘little ditties’ work well as they are inspired by latin passions. Included are remixes of more familiar tracks that have a percussive vibe and some funkier elements.

Although not obvious at time of recording this collection of 18 tracks spanning over 1.5 hours of Latin flavoured grooves actually pumps in places. Coupled with the ‘folk’ music intervals Casa Latino goes from credible to incredible while at the same time being fun, fun, fun…and that is what is is all about.

In summary I would define this mix of good time vibes as ‘Spring In A Mix’.

Review: TTD The Opening Night

admin | October 30, 2010 - 1:05 am

TTD: Pussy was the choice of 'energy drink'

TTD: Pussy was the choice of 'energy drink'

When Billy Richards first asked me to get involved with TTD I was excited about a new T’Dance and clubbing brand. He was a new promoter, so it was as fresh for him as TTD was to me.

Unfortunately he allocated me the first 4pm-6pm slot. I knew this was going to be a quiet one, so with Pal and fellow disco whore DISCO MATT…I opened the first TTD to hit London.

TTD London promised to shake up Sundays, and at the start it seemed Sundays had shaken up TTD.

Starting at 4pm, TTD had to compete with horrible weather and a tube strike…the main crowd did not turn up until the sun decided to go down, and with what was a shaky start TTD turned it around to create a party that was busy, but not packed, full with a mix of assorted gay tribes. Bears, fetish, clubbers, chavs, hunks, gAylisters and a handful of cowboys (turning up from Les johnson return of the Cowboy party) …it all help create an event that was fun, friendly and reminiscent of early DTPM.

The venue was industrial with a minimalist approach to lighting. Its large spaces, high roof and concrete and steel ambience had many commenting on ‘how did we miss this venue’. Billy Richards, the promoter wanted a testosterone fuelled evening, and although it could have been busier, the crowd was perfect for such a t’dance. DJs Pagano, Brent Nicholls & Nick Tcherniak played a mix of tunes form disco inspired house, remixed classics, progressive, tribal and funky house. With the sweet smell of success…Billy has already planned the next event on Sunday 7th November, and another in December.

Below are two videos with a different vibe. The remix shows more of the gogos, while the original video gives you a broader vision of TTD.

I recorded a special podcast for the event which can be downloaded and/or listened to here: TTD- WELCOME TO THE CLUB:  PODCAST

NO AMERICANO

admin | September 8, 2010 - 8:32 pm

NO AMERICANO

NO AMERICANO

Now and again I like to create a specialist mix that showcases my diveristy and love for house music. NO AMERICANO is one of those mixes with a focus on Latin house, ethnic percussive vibes, jazz elements and foregin disco sprinkles. It has a taste for the summer and a yearning to be played while you spread yourself under the golden sun. The tunes vary greatly from the more credible percussive tracks to the more light hearted and uplifiting vocal tracks. All embrace the ethnic diversity that can be found in house music, and this is spearheaded by the Latin flavour.

Featured traccks include Soul Avengerz ‘Let The Trumpets Sound’, Dr kucho’s ‘El Mariachi’, Yolanda Be Cool massive hit ‘No Speak Americano’, no mistaningly Spanish influenced Cantina by the Starkillers and the pumping Melocoton by Dario Nunez. 19 in total!
