I thought I’d make a mix that was in solidarity with all the ‘Occupy’ movements whilst giving this competition entry some extra depth.
6 ‘Bootleg’ tracks were first produced in Ableton, basically each track is two tracks mixed into one. I used the Ableton native EQ, High Pass Filters, Limiter and Compression & Reverb plus Izotope Nectar on vocal samples.

1= Pryda – Mirage VS Empire Of The Sun – We Are The People
2= Saint & Sinners – Pushing Too Hard (Nic Fanciulli Remix) VS Christian Henson – Liberation (The Devils Double Movie SoundTrack)

4= Umek – Promised Land VS Stan Kolev – Awakening 2012
5= The Gathering – In My System – The Revenge Remix VS Eric Prydz – 2Night
6= Pirupa Ft. Bajka – Trust (Club Mix) VS Walsh & Couture Vs Darin Epsilon – Detour On 44 (Dousk Remix)

One of Friday night sets in an Ibiza style – Funky & Latino House Music with some classic thrown in – Recorded Live at the Rooftop Lounge Bar of the Lebua Hotel in Bangkok Thailand, Asia.
Recorded Live on two Pioneer CDJs, at my DJ residency for Distil, Lebua, an exclusive 5 Star hotel lounge bar in Bangkok Thailand. The hotel was recently used in a shoot for ‘The Hangover Part 2′ Movie.
Electro-Swing is a fusion of electronic dance music and 1920s to 1940s Jazz and Big Band styles with genres such as House & Electro music, made popular by artists such as Parov Stelar
The Mix also includes some tracks from the new ‘Balkan’ style house music that uses samples from old Russian / Balkan records. Then at the end of the mix it goes off on a tangent to the 1960s :oD

California Soul | Beach Drive Mix | Funk Soul Rare Groove Music Classics
A selection of some of my favorite Funk & Soul, Rare Groove Classics that I’ve collected over the years.
I wanted this DJ mix to sum up an ocean drive along the coast in California in an open top convertible, somewhere such as San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Santa Monica or San Diego.
You’ll be able to hear some of the Vinyl crackling as many of these have been mastered from my old vinyl collections. Some are re-issues such as ‘I believe in Miracles’ & Steely Dan’s ‘Do It Again’.
Originally recorded at my DJ residency at The State Tower, Lebua, Bangkok, Thailand in early 2011. My view from the DJ booth was across the entire city on the 64th floor. Mixed on two Pioneer CDJs and the volume and samples were mastered in Ableton Live 8.
Original DJ Set recorded for an event for Emirates Airlines at the Sage Venue in Newcastle UK, Europe.
Time & Space | DJ Mix | Chilled Tech & Progressive House
A lush hot summer day up North in Newcastle at the amazing Sage venue, Emirates were launching a new flight from the Airport linking to Dubai and the rest of the world. They built a special airport ‘Lounge’ for me to perform in. It was all cocktails, champagne & air hostesses. Tough Job. I got to see one of my old friends from Graphic Design college on that day as well, who I hadn’t seen for donkeys years (a long time) so all in all a good gig.
This is the kind of DJ style I played in Russia on many occasions. I can’t remember exactly which DJ gig in Russia I recorded this at, however It must have been a big one as the music is very up tempo, which is usually the way it goes for large crowds, especially in Russia!
Some of the best gigs I’ve ever done have been in Russia :o) With crowds of over 7000 people sometimes. It’s hard not to get nervous performing in front of large crowds, but the nerves only last as long as the first few tracks, then once you see the crowd go nuts, you know you’re ok for a few hours! Trick is keep building the DJ set over that time, not too quick that you play all your biggest tunes, however you need to keep everyone on their feet and interested the whole time.
The russian planes are something else also, they’re like ex-military planes with bits falling off them!
The Conspiracy | Funk Indie Comedy Mash-Up Live DJ Mix
Woah! This was a tough one! I recorded this a while back, maybe about 2001, but dug it out as I remember many people commenting on it at the time… It was tough as I had to track down all the tracks again as I lost the track listing! But got there in the end, there are still a few on there that are not 100% accurate though so bare with me…
Samples come from Bill Hicks and George Calin for the comedy sketches and George Bush I sampled from many different sources… can’t really go wrong for comedy value with that idiot! :oD
Welcome To Jungle | Electro House DJ Mix | 80s 90s Remixes
Plenty of Bubblefunk Mash-Up DJ mixes on this mix. This DJ mix is not my usual style, however at Pangea the crowd have to have it commercial, so that’s the way I went – for a mostly Russian and Egyptian crowd at the opening party of their new night club. Had some fun with the mash-ups – there are a few surprises in there too…
Recorded in Singapore, Asia, for a Fashion Show Party in a strange spruced up warehouse / bar lounge / club / restaurant complex. I originally recorded the set live and then mastered it in Ableton with some extra effects and sample edits from the classic sci-fi film Bladerunner. I ended up using 5 channels of Audio in the end mix, it ended up getting extremely complex and time consuming!
So following on from all the effort that went into the mix, I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did making it :o) I wanted the DJ mix to sum up my time traveling through and staying in Singapore – a very clean futuristic place, kind of like Hong Kong or Tokyo in Asia for it’s style. The film Bladrunner sums up the mood perfectly I think. One of my favorite films of all time!
Rock Remixed DJ Mix | Mini United | 80s 90s DJs Remixes
A selection of classic Rock, 80s & 90s remixes for a festival I did in 2009 for Mini/BMW. A 3 day festival with 5 DJ sets by yours truly – this one was from the main stage in front of about 2000 people after Paul Weller & Calvin Harris. You can watch a short video of this event on our events page
Bangkok | City Of Angels | DJ Mix Asia Thailand | Deep Tech & Progressive House
DJ Mix recorded using Ableton Live at my DJ Residency for Distil @ Lebua 5 Star Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, Asia. Distil is at the luxury hotel Lebua in on the 64th floor overlooking the city of Bangkok.
I recorded this at the time when the troubles and unrest were happening in Bangkok. Riots on the streets, buildings being set on fire, and curfews at night. It was a tense time for everyone. Hence the ‘emotional’ content of this mix. The second track on the mix ‘I think of you’ sums up the time so very well; “City grew angry, the riots grew strong” “But I wish for a city of Angels” – stunning track, I cannot understand why I’ve never heard any other DJs play it!
Anyway, the rest of the mix also sings of ‘time for a change’ which is so very much needed today all over the world at this time in history, with people rising up and now becoming more ‘aware’ of the corporate greed, corruption and deception.
One Dub: While some of tracks are deep & a bit dark, I’ve also tried to raise the vibration with a few favorites. Some new stuff and some of my old rare vinyl tracks in a dub stylee.
While I don’t particularly condone the recent violent and vandalistic chav-fest (London, UK, August 2011), I think something needs to be said regarding the current state of the UK establishment. The lack of Police & Fire response to the initial situations was shocking. Maybe this was deliberate so people start ‘crying out’ for even tougher laws, more police and even more government authority, so when the sheet really does hit the fan and the economy collapses further, then we’re really shafted. People need to realize what’s going on, yet not get caught up in the ‘fear’ of it all, which is exactly what they want.
Tracks I love, but didn’t go in the mix: Ghost Town – The Specials. Police And Thieves – Junior Murvin. Guns Of Brixton – The Clash.
