dc house grooves

dude….i’m on a roll today. ok – so not the most imaginatively titled mix, but i was found this one buried deep in my ipod’s file system on a recent plane trip, and it blew me away. definitely one of those mixes for listening to with the lights down low with the headphones on. i can’t remember when i did this one, but i think it was before my move stateside in 2004, on a sunday no doubt. this one gets off too a real slow start with some wonderfully laid back tracks from ymc, justin harris (with a little help from timothy leary), the vogado projects then picks things up and takes you on a jouney. there’s tracks from some quality labels like svek, luxury service, moods & grooves, nrk, 20:20 visi0n…the list goes on. i wish i still had the time to put together mixes like this! you know…maybe i’ll just have to make some time

while having a dig through the dc house grooves archives i found one of my favorite mixes from years gone by – winter deep. i think i originally did this mix back in 2002 / 2003 when i was living in edinburgh, scotland. there are some great tracks here from the likes of metro area, audio soul project, g-pal and kerri chandler, but i’ve always felt the original version of winter deep was too fast, clocking in at around 130 bpm….so with a little sprinkling of digital magic, here’s a new version of winter deep, dialed back to a pace more appropriate to the material

electrofied – dj t (get physical music)
forget the past – cosmetix (ovum recordings)
if only it would stop raining – jay tripwire presents the dark corner (london housing benefit)
be allrite – nubian mindz (neroli)
ride the bass – h-foundation (soma)
little friends – g-pal (ovum)
memory (take you higher) – audio soul project (nrk)
the poem (remix) – delicious inc. (purple music)
west of athens – universal agents (ovum)
feel the dub – onionz & tony (siesta)
roy’s groove – francois dubois (blue recordings)
on a journey – joeski (siesta)
atmospheric dub – kerri chandler (ibadan)
someday – the beard presents deep expressions (inspirit music)
