First of the four weekly lockdown-mixes before I end the series. There’s a good chance you can dance again in June.

I used to love tech house, and it took me a long time to understand why it had become a dirty word. Then someone pointed out to me that what tech house meant in 2000 is a very different thing to what it means now. This mix is my attempt to reclaim the genre for what I think it truly is. Half education with my personal favorites in the genre, half 2021 music. Hope you give it a chance if you think you hate tech house, to see what it once meant.

Still on hour 2 of the last one…

Well the attraction of tech house IS low.

Sounded like an old Plastic City release, nothing wrong with it.

    sbando well it does have one Plastic City-track on it.

    Also this mix only exists because of Smallman. He made me watch the RA-video about tech house.

        I miss those expensive German imports, Timewriter, Forteba, etc.

        Second of my last four lockdown-mixes this is a hypothetical mix (hence the name) of what I would play this week should I be playing a big room in a club somewhere. Last time was two years ago, and I don’t see such gigs in my near future, so, hypothetical.

          Nice! Finally finished your 8 hour marathon mix. Top drawer as always. Not a mix or transition out of place. Well done, sir!

          Dan Perel’s latest solo Lot Radio-set was the source for that. So far my favorite track of the year.

            Still love this….proper buzz tune at ALFOS.

            Third of the last four lockdown-mixes is a summery mix I recorded after sitting in the sun enjoying beers all evening when it had been the first real summer day of the season. About 90 minutes of mostly all new music, with a classic to close it. Should I have called it White Boy Summer?

              Solomun feat. Jamie Foxx - Ocean (Moodymann Extended Remix Feat. Amp Fiddler)….tune

              Just finished the Hypothetical mix, would have been decent being in a club for that one. Particularly liked that Dominated track
              good stuff H

              One last lockdown-mix. I’m optimistic we’re done with this soon, and places have started to open up finally, so I feel like this project has served it’s purpose. Hope it’s helped pass time.

              The theme of the last mix is that it’s only an hour long, which is rare for me. Electro, house and techno for 62 minutes, apart from the last two tracks all brand new music.

              I do enjoy these hour mixes as I can do it all in one sitting rather than split it out over a longer period, especially during the day when meetings get in the way!
              will stick this on this afternoon.

              Agreed.

              Have enjoyed pretty much every one I’ve listened to.

              So thanks for sharing and alleviating at lest some of this crap.

              I’ve been pretty impressed with your range of late, come a long way since the CD’s I have from your time on GU 👏
