The disco keeps me young

Struggling with finding the time to keep this on going. And still do. Got some time last night though, and put this together. 
Hope you dig!

The hot new mix!

Hola!
I haven't given up yet. Certainly not on the dj front, even though the blogging has been neglected for past times.
Had to do some mix therapy the other night and pressed rec. Mixing some new and old stuff - comme il faut. Slightly ruff here and there, but there you go, that's playing old records on vintage gear. 
Check for some Bombers, Punkin Machine, Prins Thomas, Burrell Brothers, all spontaniously but carefully picked.
Thanks and hope you dig!

Mad Mats in the mix

Mad Mats was one of the first dj's that we booked back in the day when I first got involved in arranging clubs. This was back in 94', I believe, and we were really anxious to find out about the new stuff that was going during these pre-internet days. I clearly remember that he delivered, the place was on fire and our small-ish town experienced something never heard before. What struck me a few years later, was why the guy didn't get the recognition he deserved. Technical skills and a vast knowledge of all new and retro sounds, brasilian & latin music and such. Obviously it later took off with the Raw Fusion parties, the label and dj'ing. 

So here you go - 2 hours of connecting the musical dots. Soulful, funky and futuristic.

Summer Boogie

From tomorrow i'm starting a new summer residency throughout July and August. I'm very exctied to say the least as I haven't done this for quite a few years. I guess it's going to be a quite ruff mix from jazz to techno. You know; joining the dots and all that. That's obviously the beauty of having a 'residency' - to form and shape the musical direction.

So here's some tunes to share my enthusiasm and which most certainly will get some spins throughout the summer.

Club Culture from 88'

More YouTube stuff. A great documentary, from 88', on Club Culture. Charting the Club scene, from Hip Hop, through House, Acid and the wider dance scene. Check this to get some insights on the history.
