Classic house chart on Beatport

A Beatport chart that bucks the trend.

There are thousands which go for the latest fad so I thought I'd go for something different - a selection of classics from the 1990s which are available in pristine digital glory on Beatport.

Some of these sound as good as new and some are even coming back into vogue owing to their raw, soulful vibes. Ready to be heard by a new generation of music lovers.

The first of many (I hope).

Compilation release on Ready Mix Recs

Normally I'm on the music fan/reviewer side of the fence but just for today I am on the artist side. I have a new compilation out on Canadian label Ready Mix Records which has been home to some superb artists over the past decade including Tone Depth, Stan Kolev, Quicksound, Lemon Popsicle etc.

The mix is volume two in the Already Mixed series and covers the more New York/East Cost side of the label's sound. The artists mentioned above are included as are some special edits and co-productions I worked on which are exclusive to the mix.

The mix is available in mixed and unmixed versions at Beatport but you can check out a 20 minute teaser of the mix in the player below!
