Randomly, decided to drop a few DnB tracks at a house party. You can tell I don’t do it very often, cos the mix in the middle is ropey AF, but the rest came out well enough that I thought I’d share for a laugh. Something different :)

Honestly, I only wanted to buy The Techno Code, but of course, a load more techno fell in the crate and well… here we are. Bit random, but stompy.

Sorry, missed a week, because I had a week. Wasn’t good. So apologies, but I’m back and I’ve got some bangers lined up for you. First off, 70 mins of proggy house.

Nice deep, dark, minimal tech from 2006.

Honestly, I only went to buy one track, and then oops, a load of full fat prog house feel into the box along with it. Dark tinged, for the longer nights. Enjoy!

Some nice, summery vocal prog tracks, easing into some darker techno vibes.

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. I could teach you, but I’d have to charge. Innit.

100% built this mix around the Oh Superman remix. The original (1981!) was one of the first 7” I owned, and it always kinda fascinated me, in a freaky way. Yup, I came out of the egg loving repetitive beats.

The sun’s out, it’s too hot to dance, so here’s something to stroke your chin and tap your feet to. Maybe stick them tootsies in the paddling pool first, though?

Yup, I bought every Framewerk remix I could find. Renaissance era Sasha & Digweed, freshened up with a smattering of breaks. Every one a banger.

I’ve fallen down the Framewerk production rabbit hole. This mix came about after listening to their “Poolside” remixes of some classic tunes, a few of which I’ve dropped in the middle of this mix. 100 bpm. Very groovy. The 4×4 mix will be following along shortly…

Deep tech, vocal house, and a smidge of minimal. Episode four from my old Stream FM residency. Enjoy!

I’ve started hitting record every time I get onto the decks, cos some of my post-pub crate digs have been pretty good. I thought it might be fun to share some of them. This one’s a late night wander through the tracks I’d bought earlier in the day. And I bought some worldies! Normally, I’d rearrange stuff after my first play through, but I like the up-and-down on this one so it’s a keeper.

Some nice vocal tracks, surrounded by peak time progressive house. Enjoy!

Shaking out the last of the dark progressive house, now that the sun’s out.

Nice deep, techie, mix from July 2007. I think I did three mixes for them that summer, and it’s probably the point that the residency started to find its sound. I loved that really cleanly produced sound, despite it not really being particularly dance floor friendly. Good to stroke a chin to, tho.

A post-party, 4am, whiskey and bifta come down mix. A few chin-strokers and a couple of head bobbers. Enjoy!

Some lovely dark-tinged, vocal progressive house in here. Soma Soul’s “When I Was Lost” has been on hard repeat since I bought it. Enjoy!

Still lots of good progressive house floating about atm, so I’ve gone for some dark and chunky prog chuggers. Enjoy!

Remastered version of the second mix from my Stream FM residency from Jun/Jul 2006. Deep tech, minimal techno, and a couple of Minilogue gems. I still love how this stuff sounds today.

Emptying out prog breaks tracks I’ve collected over the last few months into a little 70 min groover.

Been sat on this for a while; some nice remixes off Bedrock, and a few (cheerier) Sud Beat style chuggers to groove you through the day. Everyone get through Xmas & New Year OK? Fingers crossed 2025 is better for everyone.

I’m still in the Progressive House mine, stumbling over dark little gems, including a new remix of Hold That Sucker Down… which I’ve played about a minute of, because let’s be honest, you can’t beat the Builds Like A Skyscraper mix. Rollo at his finest IMO. No wonder Faithless were so good… Happy Xmas everyone, see you in the New Year!

Ok, time for a bit of a change. I’m going to start going through some of my old mixes chronologically, starting with the Stream FM residency I had back in ‘06/’07. This one’s a nice mix of acid, minimal, and a hint of electro. Enjoy!

Good ol’ Prog House seems to be making a comeback, and I am absolutely here for it! I’ve been hammering these tunes for the last few weeks — the Creamer & K one, toward the end, I’ve been sat on for months — but I didn’t quite have enough to put together a mix I was totally happy with. Until last night. Subs up, lights down.
