Jose Padilla - Cafe del Mar

http://soundcloud.com/djmixes/jose-padilla-perfect-summer-live-cafe-del-mar-ibiza-early-august-1991


Hers a fantastic mix from the Chill King himself Jose Padilla.  I never got to hear him live at Cafe Del Mar.  By the time I got to Ibiza Cafe del Mar was a shadow of its former glories.  It was Cafe Mambo (next door)  that had taken over the sunset glory.


But for now listen to how it all started.

Its chill out Sunday again.  How quickly they come round.  This is a remix of one of my favourite Erasure records.  The Orb have taken it to a different level.

Sit back relax and enjoy.

Well its the end of Jeff Mills day.  Hope you have enjoyed watching the Youtube links.  Above are two links for live mixes by Jeff Mills in 1992 and 1997.

JEFF MILLS THE BELLS

This us one of my favourite Jeff MIlls tunes.  In fact one of the best techno records ever. Weirdly enough the first time I heard this was watching one of those 90s Ibiza TV programmes. Jermely Healy was on it DJing at Cream in Ibiza. He played it in his set.  It took my ages to find out it was by Jeff Mills.  After all Jeff Mills and Jeremy Healy are not two names usually put together.

It was also a favourite at The Orbit in Morley. Not sure how many of you managed to get to the Orbit? I went there a handful of times. It was a very intense northern techno club, with an insane crowd who would literally be swinging from the rafters. It was also one of the friendliest clubs I've ever been to.

The crowd would only accept techno being played.  I remember one time Laurent Garnier playing some techy drum and base and hip hop for about 15 minutes in the middle of his set.  The dance literally cleared and the crowd were totally disgusted by him deviating from techno.  Personally I though it was one of the best sets I had ever heard.  it really opened my eyes.

I have a few stories to tell of the Orbit. But they will be told in other posts.

Enjoy the video.

Jeff Mills & Montpellier Philharmon - The Bells

I'm having a bit of a Jeff Mills day. I will be adding various video links throughout he day. Then adding some live mixes of his from the 90s.

As I'm feeling a bit delicate today (a few too many wines last night at a friends leaving do), I'm posting this fantastic video of Jeff doing his most famous tune 'The Bells' live in France with a full orchestra.

I will try and find the full concert link to post later.

Enjoy.

Jeff Mills & Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra - Full Video

As promised heres the link to the full orchestral concert. Its very very good. Shows what techno can become when put in the hands of a true genius.

90s blog club night in Brighton

I am still in shock about how popular this blog is becoming.  Over 2000 views in a month.  As a thank you to everyone (who lives in or near Brighton that is!)  I am considering putting on a night some time early in 2011.  


It will be a simple affair (to keep costs down).  The basement of some pub in Brighton.  Djs playing underground 90s dance music and invited people from this blog, friends and family.


Please add a note in the comments section of this post if you would be at all interested in this night.


Thanks

Steve Thomas Classic Hard House Mix.

http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmmmzjndur


Here's a mix from one of my favourite DJs.  Steve Thomas has been resident at Trade, DTPM, Sundissential and Superfish.  He was renowned for his groovy take on hard house in the 90s.  Nowadays he tends to play a more progressive / deep house sound.


His first mix that he did for Trade is one of my favourite mixes ever.  He was also one of the earliest supporters of The Sharp Boys.


He has recorded under a number of different aliases.  I will post a more full biography soon.


Watch out for further Steve Thomas links in the future.


Enjoy.

Steve Thomas classic hard house mix.

90S Vocal House part 1.

I'm feeling a bit jaded today.  Monday blues and all that.  My initial instinct was to post a banging techno or hard house mix.  Instead sense prevailed and I'm posting a mix of 90s vocal house.  some real classics on here.


The mix is from a fantastic mix blog.  Called 'My year of mix tapes'.  Theres a real mixture of genres on here.  Check it out.


Sit back, relax and let the smooth vocals ease tour mood.
