Between Red and Green
Recorded Friday 29th June 2007 after a gig in London, supporting Tom Middleton's Amba project. Seeing as I've now got some CD decks that have decent scratch wheels on them (Denon DF1800's) there's really been no excuse not to beat mix... There're two halves to this mix, the first half hour is pretty much fourtothefloor, then it digresses for a while before returning to the beats. It's a great mix. Sorry to say that the tracklisting is somewhat sketchy...

The best I can do is to list some of the artistes that I know are in the mix:

Thanks to : Biosphere, Ulrich Schnauss, Lump,Chris Hillman, The Blue Nile, JJ Cale, Link, LTJ Bukem, Global Communication, Dexter Wansell and a whole helping of beautifully deep fluid house music!

Directors
This mix was recorded in 2000 and is an eclectic affair, taking in one of me all time faves, this being the Vangelis track. Could listen to this all night!!
PS Apologies for the repetition of the Josh Wink track... mind you, it is rather fine. And also the quality on this mix is slightly inferior to the others, I encoded it at a lower bitrate.

Miles Davis 'Bye Bye Blackbird'
Vangelis 'Soil Festivities (movement 1)'
Victor Davis 'Brother (live)'
Josh Wink 'Emmissions'
The Rolling Stones 'Winter'
Speacetime Continuum 'Neoteric'
Roger Waters 'Grantchester Meadows'
The Blue Nile 'Happiness'
John Martyn 'Fine Lines'
Global Communication '12.18'
Clifford T Ward 'Gaye'

Forget Me Not
Recorded in 2006 with an audience of one; my mate Tony. In fact, he's the guy I wrote 'I'm Not Bad' about! We were both high on Ardbeg single malt whisky, a beautifully heady aromatic spirit that gets you drunk, but not, if you know what I mean.. Suffice to say that it was a creative high; I put together this sublime slice of electronica/folk/pop. Check it.

Intro 'The Android Sheeps'
Kid Loco 'Relaxing with Cherry'
Kings of Convenience 'Weight of my Words (Fourtet Remix)'
Kate Bush 'Prologue'
Damien Rice 'Delicate'
International People's Gang 'A C Harmonics'
Boards of Canada 'Satellite Anthem Icarus'
Fairfield 'Hue of Balance'
Pitch Black 'Ape to Angel (Bluetech Remix)'
Kaya Project 'Glide'

Dasrhan Ambient 'Yellow Pastorale'

Upstairs
Recorded using the mighty Hercules virtual DJ mixer that I'd recently got hold of. Upstairs Recordings out of Vancouver, Canada suggested I compile a chart of sounds that I was listening to during mid 2006, so I put this together live. As usual, it's an eclectic affair, taking in lots of genres. Hope you enjoy it.

Ulrich Schnauss 'In all the Wrong Places' (CCO)
PBXO 'Autumn Week'
Hunz 'Ocean from Rain' (unreleased)
