Finally made the decision to finally get over to Europe for one of the big music festivals. This time is was the turn of Suncebeat 8 in Croatia. Having been a long time Southport Weekend regular while still living in the UK I knew the music and the people would be worth it. The location is stunning and the main difference I found from SPW was the diversity of the crowd. Just in the taxi from the airport there was DC Wood from New Jersey travelling on his own, another guy who flew in from Jo'burg...

This mix has been sitting on the shelf all month. It was mixed on the 1st June and for one reason or another it's taken 25 days to release. That said I was overseas for one week, but it's still leaves room for improvement. This month we are dominated by Re-Tide from Rome and the Cut Records they frequently release on. If you aren't familiar with their sound you will be by the end of the mix. I'm not buying as much new music at the moment, hopefully that's a temporary thing, but it does mean the ...

Another throwback mix that's on my playlist and gets a decent airing. Mixed in June 2017, but comprised of tracks from 2011. This mix tips it's hat the deeper chunkier sound and there were some absolute scorchers six years ago. Don't be put off that it's not full of the latest tracks, there are future classics in here and as the old saying goes - don't knock it till you've tried it. Tracklisting: 1: Luciano - Los Ninos De Fuera 2: Mic Newman - Systems & A Diana 3: Jef K & Gwen Maze - Boy...

This mix was rescued from the flames of last weeks show. The gremlins attacked a couple of times, second being a big 10 minute bite out of the show. That killed the recording, so we only have just under 90 minutes. The show was a throwback to ten years ago, which sounds like a long time, but then when you say 2007 strangely it doesn't. I remember the tracks and what I was doing back when I first started playing them as though it was just last month. I'd imagine the same thing will happen to you ...

This is a recording of the live radio show on Pressure Radio from Thursday 13th April and what a show it was too. I was still downloading tunes when it was supposed to start and then my machine crashed!! So we were 40 minutes late getting going. However once the wheels were rolling there was no stopping us. It was really busy on the outside all the way through the show which was great - thanks to everyone that tuned in. The chat room was full of banter too courtesy of Ludi, Nicky, G and Joey. As...

This mix was done at the end of Feb this year to celebrate my fifth anniversary on Pressure Radio. It's a crazy thought, I mean I can genuinely see the me hitting play on the first track like it was yesterday. Frank Ainsworth one of the residents was in the chatroom to make sure it went off without any issues. I was so excited to play, I had so many ideas and so many great tracks I wanted to share with everyone. It was a tough slot as with the timezone difference between Aus, Europe and the US s...

Just as my belief in the quality of tunes was starting to wain along came a set of beauties to put me straight again. I love the diversity and build up in this mix and there are some real crackers along the way. The first couple of tracks are deep, but in a warm n fuzzy way. We then switch into a burst of fun loving twisted electronic phunk. This style is so refreshing and I love being able to add it into the mix to diversify the sound. The mix thickens up a little with Sebb Junior and continues...

This mix was recorded on Pressure Radio on 4th Feb and was a remake of an original concept from about a year ago. It only features tracks released on the legendary Soulfuric label, including it’s sister labels – Trax and Deep. The original version was a mix of vinyl and digital, whereas this mix is digital only meaning some of the older tracks are absent. It’s probably a 50/50 split between the soulful sound of the first few years in the late 90’s and the latin infused flava through the 00’s. Th...

This marks the 200th release here on Podomatic. To celebrate we have a special mix that was recorded live on Pressure Radio in February 2017. Continuing the legends series we head stateside for a producer whose sound has given the scene a real mature smooth vibe over the years, both as part of the legendary Blaze duo, and more recently as a solo producer. It is of course Josh Milan who I was lucky enough to see/hear live in Sydney a few years back. His energy was infectious and he had the place ...

This is the first new release in months, September was the last one. It's the longest I've gone between new releases since the dawn of time! It's not like I haven't been playing. The c2eMusic Radio Show has been running every Thursday with the exception of the Christmas chaos break. Some of those mixes have made it out, more are waiting in the wings. On top of that there is the new residency in Sydney at Underground Jack thanks to my friend and founder DJ Nycks. This months mix is made up of mus...

This is the second mix in the Underground Jack RAW series. It was recorded live on Pressure Radio on Jan 12th, the night before the live event at Tatler in Sydney. It captures the vibe on the night perfectly and is a great advert for what your ears can expect to hear and the beat that will move your feet. The radio show itself was pretty intense too. The chatroom was busy with rare appearances from Pressure's own John Mateo and Andy Ward. It was 5am in NY when the show started and a couple of mi...

This is an all vinyl special recorded live on Pressure Radio on 10th November. It was a late start to the show as I had no idea what to play. After a quick flick I came across the old Defected collection. The challenge was on, could I do a whole show.................you bet! Was joined by Big Pete my mate from home for the second half of the mix. He was bouncing around the chatroom to the tunes encouraging me to keep turning the screw. He's pestered me ever since to give him a copy of the mix an...

This is a special promo mix done on Pressure Radio on 17th November for the Underground Jack event held in Sydney the following Friday 18th called "Raw". It marks the start of a new chapter with an upcoming residency from January at Sydney's legendary Tatler's in Darlinghurst. It's a seamless flow across the sounds of the last 15 years in both digital and vinyl form. A fair few of the tracks were played on the night and got a great reaction from the fantastic crowd that turned up. All up it turn...

A mix that has evolved through the course of the month. We can think of it as 4/4/4. Four beats in a bar of four distinct styles, first one being that deep warm sound that gets us warmed up for what's to come. Second is the vocals into disco. Third is booty shakin' bouncing rumbling tunes topped off with chunky Chicago style house. Special call out to Demarkus Lewis and Soledrifter who went toe to toe with three tracks each. Two tracks of the month - firstly Lexa Hill with "Da Hood", pure sunshi...

Adding another DJ to the c2eMusic hall of fame. Plenty of energy with this one as we head over to Baltimore to pay homage to Sean Spenser better known to you and me as DJ Spen. Whether it’s the Jasper Street Co., Muthafunkaz, Deepah Ones, or just plain DJ Spen the results are the same. Take it to church pumpin’ rich chunky soulful house music. He first crafted his trade at Basement Boys Records before stepping up to create Code Red. More recently he created one of the most prolific labels on the...

It was a case of third time lucky with this mix. Bought half of the tracks at the start of the month and enjoyed the mix but didn't have enough for two hours. Tried again mid month but didn't like the flow. Finally I bought some more new tracks at the end of the month and mixed this on the fly on my Pressure Radio show. Much happier with the result. Some big tracks in here, highlights for me "Dust Devil", "Valentine's Groove", "Coming To You", "Strings" and "The Ascent". Remember you can catch t...

Well that was a very long unplanned break between releases. Combination of a few things, slow buying new music in April and May, an increase in crate diggin’ session on Pressure and then a three week trip to the U.S. Anyway all that’s behind us now and to make up for it we have a real cracker of a mix. Bigger and chunkier right from the start with so many unreleased I was able to keep a good level of intensity all the way through, still building constantly of course, you know how we :). Proud to...

Mixcloud - www.mixcloud.com/c2eMusic New mixes have been very slow this year. Most recently I’ve been off air for over five weeks which hasn’t helped however this is now the first release of new music this year. It’s a live recording from last week’s show on Pressure Radio and features brand new material right the way through. Only purchased a couple of hours before the show it was great to hear the tracks for the first time during the show. Highlights for me both from NY – DJ Romain and Lenny F...

C2eMusic - The Munted Sessions - Swing City by C2emusic on Mixcloud This is the first in a series of releases from past Pressure Radio shows which for one reason or another didn't make the grade for an official c2eMusic podcast release. This session paid homage to an all time favourite label from London - 'Swing City' established by the legend that is Grant Nelson. It was recorded back on Nov 6th 2014. The first half is vinyl, with the later being digitally dominated. Few phat finger moments and...

C2eMusic December 2015 by C2emusic on Mixcloud Just in time for Xmas - the last mix of 2015. This has been the quietest year for podcasts since I started the whole thing waaaaaay back. Some months I've just been too busy, but some months I've struggled to find enough good stuff. No one sound is killing it at the moment for me, so the mixes are a real blend of different styles, with the best of each being blended together to progressively take us on a genuine journey. Top picks for me this month ...

C2eMusic October 2015 by C2emusic on Mixcloud This mix is a great advert for the diverse sound that house music has mutated into over the last 25+ years. That's helped with more than a few remixes, samples and originals from across the years. We start off as always with a deeper sounds, although this time there's a heavy jazz flavour. The sound pivots with an insane remix from Pezzner of "Candy Coated Perfection". There is then a cluster of nods to the old days. I won't spoil it, you have to lis...

This is the recording from the Pressure Radio show on 18th June and to be honest it was only meant to test out the tracks for the first time, having purchased them a couple of hours prior. The flow needs re-arranging with a coupe of beefies appearing too soon. That said I have listened to it a few times over the last few weeks and I still like it, so I thought I'd share it with you all. It ain't perfect and I am a perfectionist - hence the reason it's taken this long to decide to release. Big co...

The core of this mix was played on Pressure Radio at the end of Feb. At the time I thought it would be released by the following weekend. Instead here we are on the last weekend in March. Time has flown this month that's for sure. There are a few different styles in this months mix. We start off on the deep side with artists like Shur-I-Kan and Milton Jackson before moving into a chilled vocal section led by one of Sydney's finest "Yogi"- one half of Random Soul. It's great being able to play mu...

This was originally going to be the January release. It was mixed in on the 29th Jan, however I didn't get round to releasing it in time, and now here we are in Feb. I think this mix has a slightly different feel to most - influenced by the sound of Large Music from the last 12 months. These guys have been releasing music out of Chicago for as long as I've been DJíng. There really aren't that many labels that have been so reliable for so long. The current sound of the deep side of Europe is spot...

It's a whoppa at four and a half hours long. Since the usual mixes are two hours long and take you on a journey from the deeper stuff through to the chunky you would lose energy if playing a couple back to back during a party. This mix certainly gets around that problem. Especially if your party goes for four and a half hours! I was under strict instructions - lot's of uplifting vocals. This is very challenging on a number of fronts, firstly I don't play just vocal soulful house, I like a nice m...

Mixed on the last day of the month Live on Pressure Radio on a Sunday afternoon, it provided a rare opportunity for people in Nth an Sth America to listen live. This months mix has more than it's fair share of tasties. A good blend of deep 'n' chilled, dirty funk, deep soulful and bouncing deep. The last minute shopping on Craxsource was very rewarding. I knew before mixing it would sound great just because of the number of tracks that had me bopping when auditioning to buy. Also nice to be able...

Alright I know I missed the deadline this month. The mix was recorded in time during the last show of October on Pressure radio. It then required me to get it uploaded which is where it all fell apart. To be honest there is just too much going on at the moment. Having said that no-one will know any different by the end of the year.This set is definitely on the deeper side. Most sessions these days have a decent 20 to 30 minutes of deep, but this one is a little longer than most.There are a coupl...

It's a case of third time lucky with this months mix. The initial version was recorded on my Pressure Radio show at the start of September but I wasn't happy with the flow in the middle section. The second attempt I completely stuffed up the latter part by switching sub-genres away form the phunk sound which made it a bit too heavy for too long. So we find ourselves recording it just in time with the last show of the month. To be fair it has allowed for a couple of newcomers to be added and the ...
