I added a post called more info about the mixes to the sidebar last week. Worth a look!

There should be three new hard house mixes up this week as I pull my finger out and do some mixes before I properly liquidate my hard house collection. The first was mixed yesterday (and is entitled ‘Twist & Shake’), the second should be done tonight, and the third will hopefully be done later this week.

All will feature a selection of classic and obscure hard house tracks, so watch this space!

Well, that was fun! I’m still working out how to mix dubstep, so that hour was less smooth than the second one, but it was nice to play these tunes on a better system than I have at home.

Here’s what I played last night:

I’ll be guesting on the Locked Groove Show from 9-11 pm GMT on interFACE Radio this Friday (the 13th). The first hour will be dubstep, and the second hour will be old skool jungle. Should be good! If you are near a computer I suggest having a listen!

For those who are interested, I am doing some bulk sales of hard house and hard trance on eBay.co.uk, located here.

… I’ve started buying loads of dubstep.

After several years of not buying fresh vinyl, I’ve succumbed to the urge and started buying dubstep (not a surprise I guess, given how much I’ve been listening to dubstep mixes and tracks on cd and mp3 over the last 2-3 years now).

In any case, expect some fresh mixes soon …

As I was supposed to be playing drum n’ bass at my friend’s birthday party last night I decided to do a giveaway of Over The Horizon. I designed and printed out some covers and burnt off a bunch of copies of the CD to give out, but unfortunately due to a few different circumstances I never ended up playing. And, so, with about 15 odd spare copies I’ve decided to give them out through my own site to anyone who wants them.

Of course, you can download the mix from this site, but if you want a copy of the CD in its full uncompressed glory with a proper inlay, just drop a message in the comments with your email address and I will email you to get your address and post you a copy of the CD.

Please note: this is only open to people in the UK.

Apologies! My site was down for a few hours (due to my domain name renewal getting spam-filtered, I didn’t realize that my domain name ownership had expired). Fortunately, everything has now been sorted. In other news, I’ve found Rampage Teknikal 1, which I will be putting up this evening, and tomorrow/Saturday I will be putting up a new drum n’ bass mix, called ‘Death Sentence’, and over the weekend I plan to record a tribute mix to French-Moroccan hard nrg hero Karim Lamouri.

There were five series of mixes that I started while I was living in Edinburgh to cover different styles of hard dance music, all growing out of promoting a night called Rampage:

* Rampage Audio: The flagship series, covering the latest upfront hard dance music, from techno to hard house and hard trance, with carefully selected older tunes thrown in. The first one was a back-to-back mix with Phil Zero that was originally done as a giveaway for the first Rampage party. The subsequent mixes were done by myself to showcase my sound and skills in order to get some gigs. There were six of these in total.

* Rampage Archives: These were a series of mixes that I did to showcase some of the older hard trance sounds that I was into. Despite the title, I never really played these types of tunes at Rampage, but I did enjoy doing them. There were four of these in total.

* Rampage Europa: This series was devoted to the modern sounds of European hard trance and hardstyle, but unfortunately I seem to have lost volumes two and three, although I will certainly put them up if I can locate them!

* Rampage Technikal: This series started out as a vehicle for straightforward techno mixes but morphed over time into a set of techno-inflected mixes, working house, breaks, and electro into the mix alongside techno. There were five of these in total.

* Rampage Turbo: HARDCORE YOU KNOW THE SCORE! These mixes covered music north of about 165 BPM. For the most part, these mixes were UK-style trancecore/freeform hardcore, but there was also from time to time bits of hard acid trance, European hardtrance, and gabba. There were seven of these in total.
