Deviant Rhythms part 1

With less than a month to go until the Trees For Cities summer boat party I thought I'd put together a peak time mix giving a taster of the sort of music on offer (by the way, there's less than 40 tickets left so if you thinking of coming, be quick!). While still disco in influence, it's a more uptempo and twisted variety than the Dub Disco Deli stuff, perfect for a deviant summertime boogie down the Thames.





Tracklisting:

Visti & Meyland - Yes Maam (Trentmoller Mix)
Julian Sanza - Galapagos
Solomun, OST & Kjex - Federgewicht (Oslo Version)
James Brown - It's a Man's World (Henrik Schwarz Mix)
Curses! - The Deep End (Holy Ghost Dub)
Bush Tetras - Snakes Crawl (Burglar Tom Edit)
Syclops - Where's Jason K
Silver City - Pendulo (Pete Herbert Mix)
Prins Thomas - Fizpatrick
New Order - Temptation (Secret Machines Mix)

Delirious Influences part 2

One of the things that made the UK stand out in the late eighties was our ability to not be ruled be restrictive "genre walls"; call it the original Balearic spirit if you will. This second installment of Delirious Influences attempts to capture some of that musical diversity with a selection born out of Chicago, Detroit, New York, Miami, Manchester, Sheffield, London and of course San Rafael in Ibiza.

House, Techno, Garage, Nu Wave, Acid, Tribal, Miami Deep, Breakbeat - good memories ensured for those who should know better and a great musical journey for those new to some of these tracks.

Tracklisting:

Bang The Party - Bang, Bang, Your Mine
No Smoke - Koro Koro
DSR - Thrust
Fallout - Morning After
Musto & Bones - We're Out Of Control
808 State - Let Yourself Go

Linda Lewis - Sideways Shuffle (Leftside Wobble Edit)

Linda Lewis's Sideways Shuffle is one of my favourite old funk tracks. In particular I love the way steel drums give the track a real carnival atmosphere.

This edit is a simple affair that draws out and extends the intro and beefs up the rhythm track a tad. By the time the song kicks in, it's a bit of a surprise and provides a real lift.

Hope you like...
