andy grant – this one’s for you

mixed using 2 x technics 1210′s, a macbook air and serato scratch live.

tracklist:

so i’ve finally moved into the 21st century and recorded my first mix using serato. i resisted the technology for a long time, but now i’m using it i’m kicking myself for not making the move earlier! i’m still a vinyl junkie at heart, but i’ve fallen in love with serato. this mix was an unplanned mix… i was checking out some new music for my snd+vsn gig at the science club in dc, and remembered to record it. mixing is a little rusty in parts as i was hearing some of the tracks fully for the first time, but there’s some quality tracks there. starting off with some nice, slow, deep selections, then building to some quality dancefloor action. enjoy!

In the meantime, here’s a mix from 2004 just before I moved to the US: Moving House.

Here’s what I wrote about the mix when it was originally posted on Deeprhythms.com:

“In May I’ll be moving permanently to my wife’s home town Washington DC from Edinburgh. Its a big move to make, and a lot of planning has been going into it. A major consideration is shipping the record collection across the Atlantic, and over the last few weeks I’ve been starting to pack up records into boxes, trying to decide what I can live without for the next few months, and what I need to have close at hand!

It was while packing up records that I started working on this mix. I just couldn’t make up my mind what kind of mix to do….then I came across a Columba Corina 2 x 12″ on Defender records from 1997 as I was packing some old records away – an amazing collection of tunes that I’d never used on a mix before, or even heard played by anyone else. I used a couple of tracks from that record as the basis for this mix, and built it up from there, trying to include as wide a variety of styles as possible, while still keeping it deep. Those Columba Corina tracks really stand out for me in this mix, but my favourite track of the bunch in Hot Chix by Mister J. Simply beautiful. Moving house is taking up a lot of my time just now, and I hope that’s what I’ve managed to capture in this mix – truly moving house.”
