Quick one here from Tim over at Warm Sounds HQ. He's had a quick go at this killer, I had been playing the Feelingood edit of this since last summer, but it suffers a fair bit of drift, so a quantized version is always welcome. There are 100 copy's for D/L if you fancy grabbing one.
A mini mix of the bite sized 30 min variety from Tim over at The Acid House. Features tracks by: Rotvic, Ulysses, Mike Dunn, Evan Evans, Virgo, Prins Thomas gets it going a bit dark and squelchy in places with plenty of lighter moments too.
Go get some, and why not leave him a comment while your here! Probably a bit too much to ask for as it takes all of 10 secs ;)
Also just a heads up Norman Jay is playing disco deviant along with the excellent Greymatter on Friday March 18 at Audio we've put some very limited Early Birds up for grabs at £5 each. Exclusively on RA so if you wanna bargain CLICK
Playing Thursday - Sunday in Brighton. Few different flavours as each gig has it's own character.
Thursday nights are usually fairly laid back with a few customers and a through flow of students drinking and chatting in the bars I play so it gives me the chance to try out new stuff and play bits I wouldn't risk elsewhere. I normally play Easy Bar on Cranborne Street with one of my DJ friends joining me for the session, however I'm at another bar with a decent sound system this week, Smugglers on Ship street. It has had a bit of a tough time due to the fact it is mainly known as sports bar with a chavvy clientele at the weekends.
This isn't entirely untrue but they have recently employed our services as DJ's and we are now enjoying residencies there, Fridays are the night with the most scope. Pablo Contraband, Tim Rivers (The Acid House, Warm Sounds) and Jeff Daniels (Dedicated player) are on rotation, playing the best in bar grooves, soul, funk, disco and house. The place is not very busy at present so we've been given a blank canvas to play with on Fridays. I'm all for branding it as ours and getting the most out of the superb soundsystem (best bar rig I've played on in town) and attracting some friends and heads in.
Bar prices are reasonable and the big screen sports are switched off before we drop a beat. Be a nice one to turn around.
Saturdays there are a different animal with a more commercial vibe, it does get busy and the punters want to party, not a bad thing but musically predictable and mainstream so not one for the music lover. Always lots of women so it is a good place to head if you are on the pull.
On Sunday I'm playing at one of our secret parties, its a daytime affair starting at 3pm and running til 11.30pm (it is a school night ) - the rooftop do's we threw over the summer were so so good, everyone was feeling it and we had a brilliant crowd of lovely people. This promises to be as good. Here's a sneak peek odf the kind of tracks I'm leaning toward for this party. If you fancy it you will need to email guest list requests to : contrabanddjs@gmail.com - we'll send venue details out on Saturday afternoon.
Disco Deviant drop in for their monthly session Above Audio this Friday. Always a good night so well worth a visit.
Pablo Contraband has invited Dirt Metal Choir and Bexa to jump on the train from London and join him behind the decks for this one.
They are fresh back from partying in Italy, with some seriously hot tunes and exclusives between them, this is set to be another great night, last time they visited us in Brighton it went off, so we expect no less this time.
We kick off at 10 pm and go til closing around 3am - Half Price Cocktails (expertly crafted), £2.50 bottles / Spirit & Mixer deals, Free Entry.
Nu Disco, House, Classics, Edits & Rarities all night 10 - 3am
Join us there. :)
Here are a couple of beauty's I will be giving an airing this month (provided I get a copy)
Great edit from another neighbour of mine Warm Sounds (I usually just call him Tim) Its been about for a while now but I was complaining about it sudden and frankly abrupt ending when he first upped it. That's since been fixed up and is now available for D/L - 100 only so be quick. It's straight on my July playlist.
Here's another cracker from Italy's Nicholas. He's on fire at the moment and this is no exception. Superb vocal talent from Garfield Fleming, this is a rework of his classic Don't send me away (Becket records). Reminiscent of Teddy P if you ask me. Pure loveliness, no news on the release as yet but could be HIT002... keep em peeled - I will be.
Another lovely edit this time from Andy Ash, he's rearranged Camoflage's - You've got the power, to great effect. Awaiting a copy as I missed the D/L :(
Here's one from me - stripped back edit of Martin Circus' seminal track Disco Circus. Way ahead of it's time, features a lot of different styles and techniques, plays like a sample fest but there were some that I just didn't like or dated it somewhat (the jank 70's guitar solo) so i removed these elements and focussed on the breakdown and strange vocals. Ended up with a pretty minimal sounding disco track / dj tool. reached it's D/L limit so there is a fresh link beneath the player.
