This months mix is a guest mix on someone else's show! I hosted the Underground Jack show last Saturday on D3EP Radio Network. I wasn't able to play on Pressure the previous week, so this kinda made up for it. With 30 minutes to go before the show I decided to go with "Re-Tide" as a theme. I grabbed all of their tracks and went for it. The result is an intense energy packed hour long mix. The second hour I'm joined by another Sydney resident Mr Adrian Benedek from Fallen Disco. He blends a nice ...

For the first time in a long time we have two releases in the same month! The last mix was a crate digging session. This time it's the fresh new sounds of 2020, with a dash of late 2019. This is actually attempt two for this mix. The first one was wrecked by my controller playing up and dropping the BPM on the right deck down to 121. I've been listening to the recording from that show for the last couple of weeks and decided it needed doing again without Mr Denon getting in the way. This version...

These are the most fun mixes to makes and hopefully you enjoy them too. No plan, just casting my net across the whole digital collection and seeing where we go. It resulted some real gems from the past being unearthed. Nothing really obscure, just those tracks you used to listen to all the time maybe 15, 20 years ago. I was really proud I managed to double the number of listeners during the show, it's great when your show is like a sticky ball of honey. People come in and can't leave :) This is ...

Firstly Happy New Year everyone. Hope this is a great year for you all and you managed to spend some quality time away from work with loved ones over the holidays. 2019 was a pretty barren year for mixes for me so I am very happy to be able to put out a mix to kick off the new decade and without it being a last minute rush. That said it was a last minute rush starting the radio show that the recording comes from. 40 minutes to get home from the city, get changed, grab food, download new music, p...

It's been a long time since I released a mix of new music so I was pleased with the outcome of last Thursdays show. As always, no idea what I would play or in what order. That's often what stops me releasing a mix as it doesn't always flow right, or some of the mixes don't work. Thankfully this time things worked out well. It's a mix with three distinct sections. Firstly we have the deep mellow sounds to get us warmed up, before getting into a more traditional soulful section. That transitions i...

Been away far too long. Lot's of travel kept me away from the decks for a number of months now which isn't ideal, but I am back now. This release is from the live Pressure Radio show on the 17th October. It was my first show in a few week too and I fancied a challenge so I went all in on a vinyl show - on the fly of course :) It starts off squarely with a UK Garage sound of the mid 90's and for a while it looks like this will be another UK Garage mix, but I figured it would be more fun to mix it...

Last Pressure show before I head off to Europe for Suncebeat in Croatia. There was no new music this week, I just didn't have time to find enough. The mix itself is very deep for me. I think I consciously wanted to have it this deep without knowing which tracks would be right. The second half of the mix ended up being a homage to Germany's Lovebirds. What was meant to be the odd one or two ended up being the remainder of the show. That's a good thing, a very good thing because his style and soun...

So here we are then the third and final piece of the marathon session with Gary Ward. Bit of context required for this last session. Firstly - we'd been playing for four hours already and it was by now 1am on a school night. Secondly - Gary had been in the pub through the afternoon and turned up with a six pack of beer. Problem was I don't drink beer, so they were all Gary's. As you can imagine by 1am there weren't any beers left! Not to feel left behind - I mean it's important we are playing fr...

This is part one of a three part set. It's an epic six hours in total! It was recorded live on Pressure Radio on 28th June from 9pm to 3am Sydney time. It also features a special guest that I've been trying to get on the show since he moved to Sydney three years. I am talking about Brum's finest Gary Ward. Those of you that party in the Midlands may remember "Days Like This", "Über Nights" and more recently "Body People". All names synonymous with Gary. This was the first time we had played toge...

This is a release of a recent guest mix that I did for my good friend DJ Nycks here in Sydney for his monthly radio show Underground Jack on Grant Nelson's D3EP Radio out of London. He had two guests on for this show, myself and Chico Flash. It's crazy because Nycks asked me to do it a couple of weeks after I bought my first Chico Flash track!! Chico is up first and gets stuck straight into the back of the crate pulling out gems left, right and centre. My mix has a real UK flava. It comes out fi...

This mix has been sitting on a shelf all month. Recorded on the 4th April but only being released on the 24th! I had intended to do another mix in April which I thought would be the official podcast, but for one reason or another (Easter being one of them!) it hasn't happened. This mix has some beautiful disco flavours, some underground UK vibes and some pretty chunky deep sounds all building on each other. Have to call out Heat Alliance, I actually came across them in December and have been sit...

After three months away it's great to be back on Pressure. This is the come back show and I must admit I was a little rusty round the edges, but that's OK we're all friends :). I hadn't even bought any new music during my time away, so when it came time to do the show it was the same old supermarket sweep around the aisles of Traxsource. Unfortunately I ran out of time before I could fill the trolley so we don't have a mix of completely new music but the majority of it is. Some of the highlights...

YES we are finally back after being away for three months. It's probably the longest I've been away from music during my adult years but a combination of being ill and moving home proved too much. This is a one man show this week with my partner in crime Karl Prinzen unavailable. I hadn't even gotten round to doing a decent shop for tunes, so I already knew it wouldn't be an all new show for the return. That said there are some great new tracks in here - as usual purchased ten minutes before the...

It's taken a while but I've finally managed to get my hands on the recording of my Pressure Cooker set from Andy Wards amazing Vocal Booth Weekender in Spain last September. An amazing week with some seriously awesome househeads whose dedication is to be admired. The set was on a Saturday afternoon and I was up against Aroop Roy which was a shame as I really wanted to hear his set :) The set was put together on the flight from Sydney to Barcelona which was a whopping 23 hours. I've become very u...

First up - wishing you all a happy new year. Nice to be able to release something on the first day of a new year. This is a recording of a live set I did back in November for a local classics night here in Sydney called Re-Loaded 90's Classics. Being the 90's everything was on vinyl. I did the first two and a half hours, followed by a back to back session to finish off. Most DJs aspire to getting the main slot at a gig, but I prefer to play earlier and control the transitions and intensity build...

It's been a while since the last release, but I have moved house and it's taken a while to get the music room up and running again. I don't want to go too far between releases so I am going to release a mix from last year recorded on Pressure Radio. It was a celebration of the month of December and featured music I acquired during a December - any year. I think we go back to 2006, so over 11 year span. This mix is the very definition of transition and flow. You will clearly hear a smooth flow th...

Another rare occasion when the new podcast comes out at the start of the month. I have always tried to ensure every track on every podcast is unique, only played once. I used to obsess about that, but these days I'm chillin' a little and accepting that it's OK for tunes to appear a couples of times in succession. For that reason last week's Pressure show has become the November Podcast. Half the tracks are brand new -purchased just minutes before the show. The rest is a fusion of the previous po...

I'm really feeling this months mix. As per usual tracks were found and purchased same day as the show. Downloaded 15 minutes before the show, and heard through for the first time during the show. That can always go two ways, but I'm glad to say this one couldn't have gone any better. The opening track is probably my favourite. It's been a while since I bought any Atjazz having supported heavily over the years. It was impossible to resist his mix of "Coltrane" though and it's one of those where t...

This September mix is from the last Pressure Radio show before I headed over to Spain to join the Pressure and Vocal Booth family in the sun. It's one of the deepest mixes I've done in a while, really not a lot of soulful or vocal tracks in here. It does flow well, but doesn't have as broad a sound as usual. The latter half features some of the tracks I'll be selecting from for my set in the Pressure Cooker on the Saturday. Big thank you to those of you at VBW that came along for a boogie to wha...

It's been a long time since we had a two volume release for a monthly podcast however here we are. This one was recorded on Pressure Radio on 16th August. There are a good number of tracks from the Sunce Sessions mix, however the first part contains a load of quality new stuff which gives the mix a very different feel at the start. Kudos again to Conrad Bool who gave me heads up on a couple of little beauties - 'Alva - The Wall' and 'Black Loops - French Affair' and the amazing 'Orange Tree Edit...

August podcasts are extra special these days as they follow on from a July that sees me and thousands of others soaking up the magic that is Suncebeat in beautiful Croatia. I always come back buzzing with tunes I have to find, and so they invariably end up in the August podcast. It's like a little time capsule that invokes special memories every time you listen. Always great catching up with people from all over the world both old and new. This year I met so many cool people from all over - Darr...

This mix was recorded on my eldest son Bailey's birthday live on Pressure Radio. There was no real intention for it be become a podcast. However I've been listening to it ever since, and I like it. The flow isn't right as I'd only got hold of half the tracks an hour earlier. That doesn't stop this being a nice mix to get into though as the tracks themselves are great little movers. Also since it's been a while since the last official podcast and with me now doing fortnightly radio shows it's bes...

This is the audio recording of the live Facebook stream from HouseNation.Live on 4th June. It was an impromptu Subliminal Records set. We both decided to play three tracks each back to back. We played across three of the Subliminal sub labels - including Bambossa and Sondos. We ha d agreat laugh as it's rare to get to play vinyl these days and so it was a real trip down memory lane in more ways than one. Catch the show live on HouseNation.Live page on facebook every other Monday (4th June, 18th ...

This was the first and as it turned out only mix done in March. It happened right at the start of the month and was going to be a promo for a later March podcast. However several things happened during March that scuppered any best laid plans. Firstly we sold our house so everything was boxed up for the removalists. Once in the new house our ISP took four weeks to get us up and running. In the middle of all that we went to Thailand for a holiday for two weeks. I've been listening to this mix eve...

This months marks 10 years on Podomatic! Could never have imagined I'd still be doing this when I first started posting mixes all that time ago. Huge thank you to everyone that has supported me over those 10 years. I still remember being blown away when the first people out there started to get in touch to say how much they loved the mixes. I am so proud of the global family that has grown with a shared loved of this sound. Last podcast was Nov 17 so we've missed the last two months. Couldn't fi...

This November podcast was unexpected. It's a recording of the Pressure Radio show from 9th November. I had bought a handful of new tunes that evening causing the show to start 30 minutes late, but it was worth it as it turned out. It's a chunkier start than I expected - none of this was planned and I didn't really know what the new tracks sounded like beyond the clips you hear on Traxsource. Towards the end of the mix a few older gems are brought in to keep the intensity going. Initially this wa...

Had this mix ready for a few weeks but have been very busy so no time to publish. The mix shares a few tracks with the "Midwinter Madness" mix but contains a handful of newer tracks. Opens with a killer classic from 1992 - TC 1992 with "The Funk Is Back". I have had to take the music room down as I'm selling the house so struggling to find time at the moment, however there are still some radio shows and FB streams going ahead. Also looking to get involved in a new night here in Sydney to help br...

As the title suggests this is all things '08. The mix was recorded on Pressure Radio on September 21st 2017. I did a "Best Of 2008" mix in.....2008, but that was through the ears of my mate Burnsie who was big on his Yass and Spen at the time. I had my own favourites but never got round to recording it, so here we are. The mix starts off deep and stays there for a while. Marc Evans introduces a different vibe before we switch again for some "Afro Sounds" waaaay before Afro House was a "thing". W...

This mix makes it into the Munted series mainly because of the feedback during the show. I'd bought a dozen new tunes that day and was weaving them in. The flow worked really well and some of the tracks are class. You'll recognise some of them from the August podcast. Mix ends with another nod of appreciation for Lay-Far's excellent set on the Local Talk boat party at Suncebeat 8. Two of his last three tracks, but played in reverse order. "Inspector Norse" is just foot sliding madness - love it....
