Happy Sunday. Went on driving holiday around Australia a few months back and had a huge playlist of new and old playing as we drove. These are the tracks that bring back some great memories from the trip. If you haven’t done a driving trip in your own country before I’d highly recommend it. So stress free with no deadlines, no flights, no trains and no timetables. If you like somewhere you stay, if you dont, you just keep driving.

Photo was taken having a sunday snooze a few weeks back :)

So I’ve been busy buying heaps of vinyl and have finally put together digging deep 006. It took so long to choose from all the great music thats been coming out. It’s nice and deep, starts off light and dives into some dark territory. 100% vinyl. Hope you enjoy it. Track-listing coming soon.

Here is version 3. Have gone for a more head nodding 110bpm mix this time. I spent about 2 weeks trying to get the perfect mix to you guys and then realised that it defeated the purpose of Digging Deep. The purpose being that I wanted the mixes to be free flowing and not pre-planned and programmed. I find this will force me the better my mixing skills. So, I took out all my low tempo tracks and played them in the order I thought would work. One take. Hope you like it.

Also, sorry for no June mix but I was away on me hols.

Second mix in the monthly Digging Deep series. This is a bit of a weird one and goes in a few directions. Starts of with the signature Digging Deep sound, warm, mellow and soft. It then slowly goes into a darker, spacier place, then out into Tech House territory. Now, after that I don’t know what happened. I went on a bit of a stroll down memory lane and it finishes with a few classic. I hadn’t planned this at all but it seemed right at the time. If the Brian Eno track doesn’t give the dirty raver in you goose bumps, then it was probably never in you to begin with :P

Also, a slight break in the middle as the laptops decided to shut down mid mix. I got it back up and running straight away so it only missed a small section.

100% vinyl again, old and new, with some of the usual analogy slip ups here and there, but hey, that keeps in sounding a bit more real eh? Hope you enjoy it’s meanderings.

I have started off a new monthly series of Podcasts. Indulging in my vinyl addiction I will be playing/mixing alot of the slow and low deep house tracks doing the rounds. First mix is ready for download. Lots of off centre tracks. Kinda mellow and a bit off the danceable path. 100% vinyl. I would love to hear your feedback on this new direction I’m taking. I’m also thinking of doing a bit of talking over it, kinda like a radio podcast introducing tracks etc. So let me know if you think thats a good idea.
