Swag Bag

Back on the party tip this week. A mix that celebrates the production genius that is Chris Duckenfield. Over the last 13 year's Chris has produced some of the best British house music under many guises, the most famous of which is probably Swag.

As a bit of a bonus I've chucked in a couple of tracks that I first heard him play out during his many funk fueled DJ sessions including a latin acid workout from Su Paka Pooh and a fine Tech Jazz remix of Inner Cities Good Life by Thomas Schumacher.


All of the tracks featured in this mix can be purchased at DjHistory.com

Stoned Evenings

In absence of a proper new mix here's a couple I put together last year for Stone Islands 30th anniversary at London's Soho House. It's a properly chilled selection, perfect for an evenings relaxation after a heavy dose of footy shenanigans.

Heights of Abraham - Soul Electric

Thanks for all the great feedback on the Radiohead mix. I'm working on another one at the moment which I'll upload in a few weeks time.

For the moment though I've put together a bit of a 'Winter Warmer' by a band that have been criminally overlooked for the last 16 years or so. Perfect music for these dank Winter evenings - best consumed with a glass of red and a bunch of Jamaica's finest.

If you like what you hear, check out their back catalog on iTunes

As ever stream the mix with the player or download the 320k MP3.

Leftside DiscoTek

In preparation for the pleasures in store next weekend at the Trees for Cities party, Lap of Dishonour - http://www.treesforcities.org/event_parties.php - It seemed apt to put together another slice of shameless DiscoTek beats and pieces. Suitably inspired from a weekend of Carnival wrongness, the set's pretty much a booty shaker from the start and includes the splendid new Bjork mangling from 'gad about town' degenerates Simian Mobile Disco.

Dirty Soul - Sweet Tech

A whole heap of Quentin Harris, some classic Strictly Rhythm, the fella from Kings of Convenience; ending up with beautifully twisted re-edits of Hot Chip and Dolly Parton.

This mix started out whilst going through some recent NRK faves; but via some old school disco/rap magic, ends up with Dolly pleading some auburn haired beauty not to take her man.
