Don't Forget To Get Funky

VS

Finally got this to a pretty much finished state last night...
Hwen Rascale - Don't Forget to Get Funky
a mash up/blend/bootleg (whatever you want to call it) of Patrice Rushen's Forget Me Nots with C & C Music Factory's Do You Want To Get funky.

Enjoy!

It's So Easy.....Liking House?

Maybe it's the recent trend of good weather....(it's about time!)...maybe it's that this is a great tune...(it is)...but the combination of both has me really feeling house music at the moment.

I used this track in my latest mix (see my last post ), if only all house music was this good!

Promo Mix

Here is a promo mix that I put together for a bar/club. As the picture shows they also have people eating there so they were adamant that there be no hip-hop or thug music on there and definitely none of that scratchy business! (The sacrifices us working DJ's make are many)...Anyway, I thought it turned out OK in the end...nothing fancy just a mix in 3 parts to demonstrate some of the different styles that I could play for them. So here it is for you all to enjoy, no tricks just simple mixing to let the tunes speak for themselves:

Promo Mix-Part 1
Lucy Pearl-Don't Mess With My Man
Hall & Oates Vs Pharell-I Can't Go Frontin' For That (Hwen's Special Blend)
Nu Shooz-I Can't Wait
Timex Social Club-Rumors

Promo Mix-Part 2
Endgames-Ecstacy
Roy Ayres-Hot (Rascale's Extended Mix)
Kelis-80's Joint
Tweet-Boogie Tonight (Mr K Re-Edit)
De La Soul-Keepin The Faith (Straight Pass Mix)

Promo Mix-Part 3
Gladys Knight-Bourgie Bourgie

DJ Gregory-Don't Know Malendro
DJ Spen Feat. Ann Nesby-It's So Easy
The Braxtons-The Boss (Kenlou Mix)

I Hear An Edit In The Streets...

I was working on a new mix this weekend and really wanted to include Unlimited Touch-'I Hear Music In The Streets'. Unfortunately the intro/outro was driving me mad and just not working with the mix. So I set myself down and made this quick re-edit: 8bar intro before the vocals kick in and a 16 bar outro with a fade out.

I will be posting the finished mix soon!

To Be In Love Part 3

And finally in all it's 12 minute glory...we have the original 12'' full length mix. A more perfect slice of vocal house you will not find. Enjoy!
MAW-To Be In Love (12'' Full Mix)

To Be In Love Part 2

As promised, here is another mix of Masters At Work 'To Be In Love'. This time MJ Cole takes it on a 2-step journey. Again it's the dub version that provides the best mix here with another superb bassline. MAW-To Be In Love (MJ Cole Dub)

To Be In Love Part 1

'To Be In Love' is one of my all time favourite house tunes. I will forever associate it with summer time and Steve Jackson's old breakfast show on Kiss FM. In fact I will go so far as to say that it is impossible to ruin this song. I own tons of remixes, extended versions and bonus beats of this tune and with the good weather upon us, I thought it was about time I shared some of them.
First up is this 11 minute masterpiece of a rework by Black Science Orchestra. Mr Beedle comes correct on this one; utilising only the vocals and providing a whole new but still equally funky backing track that just keeps building.
Enjoy and check back for more mixes coming soon.MAW-To Be In Love (The Black Science Swingtime Mastadub)
