In my long-term quest to add some decent reading material to all of the mixes, I’ve now gone back and added some notes on each of the tunes to the post about my Rampage Audio 5 mix. Enjoy!

I’ve just added some pictures to the post for last year’s hard house mix Liquidate. Check it out – it’s actually turned out to be one of my more popular mixes, at least going on data transfer and page views. Enjoy!

Turn Away Skull – Karl Haze left me a message, so I went and checked out his site, and it’s got two rather fine-looking mixes on it, with the promise of more. I’ve only listened to the old skool set Head Cleaner so far (which is great!), but I’m sure the other one is equally as good. Check it out.

My Year of Mixtapes – Making me look like an absolutely total and utter slacker, Chicago’s Chrissy Murderbot is doing a weekly mix, covering an absolute galaxy of styles, from ragga jungle to disco to booty bass to, fuck, all kinds of other stuff. Well worth a look.

Tinrib Recordings Marathon Mix – A wicked mix of tunes from Tinrib Recordings (one of the leading UK hard house/nu-nrg labels) put up on the Bangingtunes forum.

I hope all of my readers are having a good Christmas! As my present to you, I will be putting up all three of the promised mixes over the next week, starting with We Control The Night tomorrow. Enjoy!

A few links to mixes I’ve liked recently.

Bass Music Mix 8 – Von D – Von D is a French dubstep producer who has recently caught my attention with his fusing of classic Detroit techno-style chords and melodies to a dubstep framework. This mix at the excellent Bass Music Blog features a load of his productions all smoothly mixed together. A real treat.

Dunfyboy’s Mixes – I first found his site when he dropped a comment. Some realy good mixes across a range of genres. His High Contrast mix went straight on my iPod and is a particular highlight.

DJ Harmony’s old skool trance mixes – This is the motherlode if you love that old European hard trance sound! 20 excellent mixes, covering everything from uplifting Paul van Dyk style to wibbling acid to out-and-out rave mayhem. Fucking fantastic and not to be missed.

I’ve still got a number of unreleased mixes to put on the blog, so I’ve decided to throw it open to the readers (I know you’re out there, since I check my stats every day, sad person that I am!).

Anyways, I’ve got three mixes left over from my little frenzy before I left London:

Squat Rocking 4 – The fourth installment in the Squat Rocking series of mixes, and it’s 28 tracks of absolutely blistering hard techno. Scare your neighbors!

That Dream Is Over – Inspired by the set I did on InterFACE radio earlier in the year, this is a mix of 94/95 style artcore jungle. Tearing beats and soothing melodies.

We Control The Night – 85 minutes of gradually building madness, starting out with early 90’s rave techno and then moving through hard techno and acid through to hardcore and finally to full-on 190 bpm gabba mayhem.

If any of these sound good to you, leave a comment letting me know which you would like me to put up on the blog next.

I’ve recently found a picture of myself, aged 19, playing for Undertow at The Drome in London Bridge way back in August 2000. I’ve added it the page for Squat Rocking 1. Very amusing!

Just a quick update, but I have now added a cue file to AL_X’s Machines Ate My Vinyl.

Thanks!

Since I have now moved back to Edinburgh, I have taken the opportunity to update my About Me page. Check it out.
