Podcast: MMXI- Anthems 2011 Volume 1

admin | January 12, 2012 - 7:04 pm

As part of my annual collection of end of year house hits I am happy to present MMXI: ANTHEMS 2011 VOL 1.

There is no need to further introduce these tunes that rocked my dance floor in 2011. This choice is based on the tracks I liked to play as opposed to what were the biggest hits, some of which I felt obliged to play to balance the educator/Entertainer aspect of DJing. This is VOLUME 1, with 25 tracks, just over two hours of music.

TOP 50 TUNES 0F 2011

admin | January 10, 2012 - 3:05 pm

Deciding what would be my top 50 tunes of 2011 was no easy task. Browsing through hundred of tracks to dwindle them down to 50 was an exercise of much decision making. Do I include ‘big hits’ or ‘what were truly my favourites’ or a combination of both?

The end decision was to place in my top 50 of 2011 the tracks that would keep me on the dance floor, my favourites…the tunes I enjoyed playing. This means a few of the big tunes of the year will be missing…those that I felt like I had a duty to play instead of what I wanted to play. That would include Stronger by Erik Morillo (couldn’t stand it!), Avicii’s ‘Levels’ and that shocking ‘Bromance’…ahh, what a horrible (but popular) track that was.

Instead I selected a great mix of grooves that best represented by DJ style, my yearly podcasts and tracks I would be happy to compile into a mix (no use listing a top 50 without putting it down into a podcast…is there!?…and that is coming soon) When I looked at the tracks selected I noticed a lot of remixes of older tracks, especially 1980′s tunes and two from Depeche Mode.  This cold be just a reflection of those who are now creating music were born in that era. Remixers like Bass Kleph, Noferini, TradeLove and Crazibiza were popping up on a regular basis and funky definitely made a return in a style I generally termed as nuFUNK. Deciding my top 50 was hard but placing them in order was not something I was willing to to do. Play one of these tunes and you will see me going off on the dance floor, hopefully, along with the rest of the floor. These tunes are the ones that shook, rocked ad made me sweat! Some of the tracks will have samples if you’re curious or if you click on the title it will take you to a folder that contains all these tracks (remember, if you like them…to buy them and support the artist) Hence…Top 50 tunes of 2011 (in no particular order)…

Podcast: Live Sessions 2011 ‘Lo Profile’ (PlayTime Mix)

admin | November 9, 2011 - 12:04 am

Recorded live at LoProfile’s sexy Friday night club PlayTime in late October. This mix best represents about half of my set.

As with all live mixes, it will include current anthems, new tracks and a few classics. This is typical of my style for LoProfile which attracts a very gAyLIST crowd of Soho Hipsters, muscle boys, clubbers, bisexuals, metrosexuals, girls ranging from the street wise Soho chick to the chic and onto the ‘just stepped out of the office’ kind.

With the reinvention of Fridays, it’s has become on of the places to be seen. PlayTime features international pornstars who perform on a open bed and later will dance on the podiums for the crowd.

Although my main objective is to keep the dance floor pumping, which at times it was all hands to the air, with the more sexual feel of Playtime I also inject into my grooves not only a hip shaking soundtrack but one that would equally match some hip thrusting.

As with all Live Sessions, there is no track list, it’s about the set…so get get hip thrusting and enjoy the sound of PlayTime!

miniPodcast: Rebel Rockers

admin | September 29, 2011 - 8:48 pm

BRENT NICHOLLS VS SYLVIA REBEL: REBEL ROCKERS- Inspired by my podcasts collaboration with independent club reviewer Disco Matt and by the words expressed by Sylvia Rebel in her www.seenqueen.com interview ‘Rebel With A Cause’…I now join forces with scene starlet Sylvia Rebel to present REBEL ROCKERS, a brand new mini-cast meeting of minds and musical tastes.

In her SeenQueen.com interview Sylvia revealed she wanted to start to DJ, so jumping the gun before she got behind the decks I was curious as to what her choice in music would be. Than REBEL ROCKERS was born.

On this collaboration Sylvia nominated about 15 tunes she currently loved, my job was to select 10 of those tracks, decide on which mix best suited the minicast and then mix it all together.

As in all collaborations, some of Sylvia’s choices would not have been mine and the remix which I selected may not be her ‘favourite version’…however for continuity as well as with the aim to create something which reflected both of our tastes…this demarcation worked perfectly.

When will Sylvia step behind the decks herself? In a way she already has. With computers, mixing is the easy part…selecting the grooves and deciding what goes with what to create an original musical soundtrack is where the talent lies, and both Sylvia and I have contributed equally in that part.

This mix reflects Sylvia’s taste in house music, however until we put her behind the decks will discover the full Sylvia experience. Rebel Rockers we have a sneak preview into what we can expect as Sylvia places the title ‘DJ’ before name….

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’.

Get On MyGayFace.com Tops 2010 Podcasts

admin | January 7, 2011 - 1:40 pm

My podcast GET ON MYGAYFCE.COM tops DISCO MATT’S
retrospective of the BEST PODCASTS of 2010.

GET ON MyGayFace.com

GET ON MyGayFace.com

Originally made exclusively for the
members of the new MyGayFace.com social network, the demand
was so high I put it on general release. When I made this mix I
wanted it to be fun. uplifting and the best representation of
nuFUNK house, the non specific, non-genre sound that was more about
a feeling and was equally found in funky house to progressice or
tech house. This was the return of funkiness into dance music. The
mix contains an eclectic selection of tracks highlighting the
nuFunk style…. DISCO MATT is one of London’s more controversial
club reviewers, On his website www.discomatt.com he previews,
reviews and includes many features of music, clubbing and
international events. He is a house music enthusiast and in his
compilation of the top 10 podcasts of 2010, he admits the choice
was difficult but GET ON MYGAYFACE.COM won by a siingle tune…
‘stereo love’ …that gained significant meaning to him on a personal
basis while on tour with LoveChild in Belgium. In his own words he
says:

“Then we come to our third and one of a
staggering 22 mixes that Brent Nicholls complied in 2010, many
which could have made it into our top five, were it not for the
other four. His “Let’s Chant” compilation for example was
incredible, as was his “Aural” mix & his devotion to his
appearance at Beyond Pervert. However, it was his “Get On
MyGayFace” mix that made it to our top three, like the others,
littered with incredible records from start to finish, the 15 track
composition originally created especially for members of the new
social networking site , MyGayFace”, hence the title on the mix.
However, such was the demand for this amazing mix, Brent released
it onto his website for general download, although we were lucky to
get our own copy on the day of first release, it immediately
pressing all of our musical buttons, not least with records “Upside
Down”, “I Just Can’t Hold Back” & “Et Moi”, from two
artists that really did it for us in 2010, Audio Jackers and Lissat
& Voltaxx. But it would be a mind-blowing remix of “Release
Me” and then an even more majestic Mollela version of Edward Maya
& Vika Jigulina’s heart wrenchingly stunning “Stereo Love”
that ended up securing this compilation in our top three. So was it
a dead heat three? Well we couldn’t separate Steve Pitron &
Mikey D, but at the eleventh hour in our summing up of our year of
music, Brent Nicholls edged the other two, not just in recognition
for his impressive amount of releases in 2010, but when it came
down to the wire, it was the “Stereo Love” track made that
essential difference, as more than any other record in our year, it
held & continues to hold the most memorable moments in our
travels, whether to or from a club or out on our two wheels, but
especially during our trips to Berlin & Antwerp for which
both “Stereo Love” & “Get On MyGayFace” will always remain
synonymous and very much number one.”

Back 2 Beyond

admin | October 2, 2010 - 6:48 pm

Beyond began it’s journey back in the early part of 21st Century; born at the time Funky house was fresh and new and gaining dominance over the old styled Hard House. Started by Wayne Shires (then of Crash) and Craig Elder (of Fire), it marked a new beginning for London after hour clubbing.

B2B Sat 2.10.2010

B2B Sat 2.10.2010

It could be said it was Beyond that saw the death of TRADE way back then. Beyond and it’s DJS fully embraced the funky house sound which the gAylist clubbers loved in all it’s forms. The sound had already penetrated the leading clubs of the time and it was this sound that saw Beyond grow from a ‘invitation only’ afterhours to a phenomenal success.

As time went on difficulty between the two promoters became more prominent, DJ line ups changed and funky house soon became too commercial and cheesy with Electro forging it’s way into the main stream. These factors saw Beyond slowly decline.

However for the clubbers at the time it herald a new start for clubbing, a new sound and was probably the last true club to have grown organically from a humble beginning to meteoric success. It certainly was the last club of that era based on ‘social’ aspects rather than ‘economic’ (but that is a completely different blog!).

Beyond attempted a few resurrections, gave birth to sister after-hours like Ultra but nothing could be compared to the original at the Colosseum. It wasn’t until Area was bought by Craig Elder did the current Beyond find a new home and was reborn as the after hours it is today. It could never be the old Beyond, that was a different time, but it was rebirthed as a new brand and worthy of the accolade of being London’s best After hours and winning the prestigious Seen Queen Best Club Award of 2009.

It wasn’t until recently that Alex Erfan gave birth to Back 2 Beyond (B2B), bringing the old Beyond back to it’s ancestral home and combining it with the current Beyond at AREA.

The first B2B had the original DJ line up, recreated the gAylist VIP room and reintroduced the Colosseum to a whole new generation of clubbers. That success was measured by B2B II which had an atmosphere that was electric. Everyone was out for a good time and that is exactly what happened. Each room started to develop it unique identity. Now this wasn’t the OLD Beyond, but a new version of THAT Beyond. There was a party vibe reminiscent of the first time Beyond came onto the scene.

BEYOND August 2002

BEYOND Mix August 2002

B2B, it seemed, it could stand on it’s own two disco boots.

So what can we expect fro B2B III? Come along and find out! If B2B I & II is anything to judge by…Back 2 Beyond will be a party not to be missed.

We welcome B2B back to the London clubbing calendar!

So what was the music like way back in 2002. Here is a mix I made back in August 2002 based on my Beyond set back then. Download it or click on play to take yourself back….way back!
