After finishing the recent Sky High Mix this summer, focused on housey, tribal and tropical sounds, I wanted to create something more dreamy yet intimate at the deeper end of house music. Started revisiting old moody vocal based tracks on Naked Music. Yet I didn’t just want it to be another deep house tribute mix, […]
Just finished my latest mix, the “Sky High Mix (Summer ’23 Tropical Edit)” with a jazzy / tribal house / tropical twist. For no particular reason, was listening to my music and decided to mix this live on the plane at 10,000m, travelling to tropical Southern Japan… Just uploaded to my Soundcloud channel. Enjoy š
It’s almost 11pm and I’m collecting music for my next mix, mainly deep/tech/minimal house pieces from places new and old. But before I complete that I get sidetracked in my research with a piece by DJ Krush mixed inside a temple in Shizuoka? It’s really a masterpiece of respect and meditation in this holy place, […]
Last autumn during a brief stopover in Dubai, I was walking around the back alleys of the Perfume Souk and was greeted by a waft of smoke from a small shop as I turned the corner into another nondescript sidestreet. Intrigued I walked in and bought that local “Bakhoor” incense (agarwood mixed with other perfumes […]
Been digging Jimpster‘s latest chart selection, 18 tracks off the deep end of deep house with some electro thrown in for good measure. Brought me back in a flash to the days back in London in the late 1990s when I used to visit the Notting Hill Arts Club from time to time on Sundays […]
Looking forward to catching up with old friends in the next couple of weeks… it seems that due to Coronavirus we’ve been away from each other for so long. Recently met with a new family for lunch and discovered the culture and cuisine of Southern India. It was great just to talk and chat all […]
A no-holds-barred compilation of hip hop and rap tracks that I’ve been playing in the car the last few months on the way home from work. Hard-hitting yet melodic, note that the lyrics are not always safe for work, so double-check your surroundings before playing it loud on the office wireless speaker… Or then again, maybe not.
Have been starting to document my musical journeys, realized this has been waiting in a dusty digital folder to be released. Join me on a selection of the raw energy coming from the music I was listening to in Paris last August over the summer. From Rema’s Calm Down, the Nigerian anthem of summer 2022 […]
A 140-style remix that reminds me of London in the summer. At just under 15mins, it’s perfect for some inspiration as you fire up the BBQ with beers on ice. Kick off with sharp grime vocals and bass Badman Ting from Killa’s Army/XLMad on Numa Recordings, connecting Jamaica to London via Italy. Next is ethereal […]
With one day left prior to the new lockdown in Tokyo, felt compelled to put something together in the few hours we have left. Equal parts dark, light, and unexpected.
