A few years back I posted “So Special” by Two Men from Jersey on Bass boy Records in 1991. A couple of other house gems from these men from across the pond came before and after that release. One of my favourites is “Do it in the dark”, a B-Side track from 1989, it sounds [...]
LaLuna – Come to me (instrumental dub)
Some more B-side business from a little known artist on Quark records produced by Eric Krupper. Not to be confused with the mid 90s La Luna who done the Ethics Ep (Bang to the beat of the drum etc), this track was put out on Quark in 1990, and boasts a lovely deep latin house [...]
Anthology of American Acid House
I had a lovely email from Harry Bennet who shared with me his “Anthology of American Acid House”. Continuing the creative curatorial spirit of Harry Smith’s 1952 Anthology of American Folk Music, this anthology presents the legacy of American acid house in three themed mixes curated and performed by CCC DJ Harry Bennett. Each mix contributes [...]
Remeberance Sunday Mix
Today has been spent mostly laying horizontal on the couch listening to some laid back Balearic vibes from Coyote, Mudd, Quiet Village and Studio, slowly recovering from the weekends shenanigans at the Greg Wilson night in B-Town on Friday night , and at The Fishbowl on Saturday night where I was let loose to spin [...]
Gemini 27 – Jump a little higher
Here is a nice deep house groove from 1991 on Nu Groove Records, I wonder if Nu Groove will spring back to life now the digital age is here. In recent years we have seen Strictly Rhythm, R&S all resurface, Nu Groove would just be the icing on the cake, especially a re-release of LB [...]

Earth People – Reach up to mars (Go Bangs Niced up Slack Edit)
Thought I would share this with you, a nice extended edit of a classic track by Pal Joey from 1990 by our friends over at GoBang, who are growing there ever increasing number of Slack Edits. Earth People – Reach was released in 1990 on US label Underworld Records, later to be released on UK [...]
April Wayne – Bigger They come, The Harder They Fall
I first came by this song in 1991 on a house mix tape (one I will upload in a day or so), but it was not until about the year 2000 when I actually found out who the artist was. The song itself is a laid back vocal work out that is accompained by a [...]
Mix Tape Favourites #4 – Roger Sanchez – Givin’ it Up – Kiss 100 FM Feb 14th 1992
On Feb 14th 1992, US DJ Roger Sanchez “Givin’ it up” mix was aired on London radio station KISS FM. I recorded 90mins of the 3 hour show, and then edited out most of the KISS Jingles. The recording that follows may have some parts where it sounds like the record has skipped, no reflection [...]
