Listen up, fans of bangers, slammers and stinkers. The mix CD that we’re producing with our pals at Bugged Out! is seeing the light of day on 27th September It was a huge honour to be asked to contribute to such an auspicious mix series (the Ivan Smagghe and Erol Alkan editions have long been faves around these parts) and an opportunity we fairly jumped at. The CD is a seamless autumn party-smashing mix of electro, disco, house and techno slammers both young and old. I’m talking ‘Freakaholic’, I’m talking ‘Be Strong’, I’m talking freaking ‘New Day’; I’m talking some of the straight up nangest tracks of all time. Oh shiiiit!
The mix features ‘Stay Here’ an exclusive stinker composed by our good selves along with Toronto’s finest Azari & III. It’s in a Wild Pitch house style, so set the controls for NY circa Paris Is Burning and vogue your hearts out. We first met them in Toronto after hearing diamond-‘ard bangers ‘Hungry For The Power’ and ‘Reckless With Your Love’. Cedric, their inimitable vocalist, turned up to the afterparty for one of our shows where your humble correspondant was spinning, and, once a microphone was sourced, belted out ‘Paris’ over whatever tough techno slammers I was playing. A big moment, and the genesis of this collaboration.

Cheers for the mixes to keep me entertained whilst I await the album, particularly the gym mix. One query though, the comments on that mix say I’d be wise wise to listen to Jon Hopkins’ remix of James Yorkston in the sauna- What effect is it going to have on my player? !!!
