Retro House Mixtape

Episode 138 – Everybody Dance

Paul @ Retro House Mixtape — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 18:15:00 +0000

“Everybody dance, do-do-do, Clap your hands, clap your hands”

I initially wasn’t sure about this episode when I was recording it. I’d already thrown away an aborted attempt when I had that classic DJ nightmare of not picking a good next track before the current one had finished playing. At that point I’d lost the energy to have another go. But I stuck with it and by the time I threw on a remix of Chic’s “Everybody Dance” I found myself singing along like a total fool. I really like this episode, some big chunky disco-drenched grooves going on here. And it ends with one of my favourite house tunes of all time, Fire Island’s “If You Should Need A Friend”, a big uplifting piano anthem with a positive message.

Tracklisting:

Ananda Project, Gaelle Adisson – Cascades Of Colour (Wamdue Black Mix)
Johnick – Safari Disco (Extended Mix)
Selace – So Hooked on Your Lovin (Mousse T.’s extended disco Shizzle)

Episode 137 – Let Yourself Go

Paul @ Retro House Mixtape — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +0000

“Let Yourself Go” with another 60 minute mix of old house music.

Listen on Mixcloud

These episodes come about in varying ways. Sometimes I know exactly what I’m going to play. At other times I make it up on the spot (like with the previous episode – “That London Sound”). This time it’s a little of both. I had the first four songs picked and then winged it from there. What we end up with is a mix with a split personality. It starts with a vibe that flirts between funky and jacking but at the halfway make we go into progressive and melodic territory.

Tracklisting:

Karen Ramirez – If We Try (Silk’s Disco Anthem)
Kerri Chandler – Downtown
Gettoblaster & Chris Larsen (CA) Ft.DJ Dagwood – Bounce Yo Body
Richard F. – Feel The Rhythm

Episode 136 – That London Sound

Paul @ Retro House Mixtape — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +0000

“That London Sound”, in other words, that late 90’s UK-based four-to-the-floor garage vibe.

Listen on Mixcloud

For this episode I felt like going with a theme, so I dipped into a folder of tunes simply called “That London Sound”. It’s a collection of tracks that takes me back to the late 90’s. Around ’97 when the likes of Jeremy Sylvester (under various guises), RIP and Nu-Birth (again, under various guises) were pumping out garage bangers with synth-based chords, soulful vocals and deep, deep baselines. If you liked the previous ‘Speed Garage’ episodes of the show, you’ll probably like this one too!

Tracklisting:

Da Vibe Project – Jus’ a Feelin’
RIP Productions – Red Hot and Sexy
G.O.D. – Inside Your Mind (Original Mix)
Da Mooch feat Ellis Miah – Send Me Some Love (Marc & Mitch’s Send Me Some Dub)
Johan S. Presents Jazzheads – (Falling Like ) Dominoes (Banana Republic’s Club Vocal)
Amira – My Desire (Club Asylum Classic Vocal Mix)
Danny J Lewis – Spend the Night (H Man Dub)
Miles Fontaine – Keep Giving
GOD Four – A2
Inland Knights – Trapped
Dean Boylan – Bring It Back To Love (Dem 2’s Rubba Soul Dub)
Freak Da Funk – Where Brooklyn At
Nu‐Birth – Anytime (Rhythm Masters mix)

Episode 135 – Move Your Body

Paul @ Retro House Mixtape — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Time to Move Your Body with another dose of Retro House Mixtape goodness

Listen on Mixcloud

I didn’t know where to start with this episode so I ended up just closing my eyes and flicking through my selection of tunes. I decided that whatever I landed on was what I would start with. As luck would have it, the fates chose a solid tribal-drum banger from Eric Kupper. What a fantastic place to start! From there it was a steady job of building a set on the fly which is always fun. I managed to work in a few favourites on the way such as “Move Your Body” by Ruffneck and Full Intention’s remake of “You’re The One For Me”.

Episode 134 – Boogie Ryda

Paul @ Retro House Mixtape — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:03:11 +0000

“We can ride the Boogie” with the latest episode of Retro House Mixtape.

Listen on Mixcloud

And we’re back with another multi-genre mix of old house music. It was a close shave this one, all very last minute and at the time of recording I didn’t think it was going to be worth sharing. Fortunately a re-listen the following day with fresh ears confirmed that it was another good-to-go mix. Favourites for this episode include “Boogie Ryda” by Grant Nelson and Bart B More’s bootleg edit of Intro by Alan Braxe and Fred Falke which I’ve been meaning to work into an episode for ages.

Also, my social media game has stepped up a notch, Retro House Mixtape is now on TikTok as well as Instagram, Threads and Bluesky. You can now actually see me making an arse of myself online.

Tracklisting:

Glickmix – Need to Lose Control (1300 Miles From Brooklyn Mix)
G.O.D. Four – A1
Grant Nelson – Boogie Ryda (Revisited)
Haji & Emanuel – Weekend (ATFC Dirty Weekend Mix)
Dajaé – Time (King Unique “Unlimited Supply” Mix)
Detroit Swindle – Hey Mister (Extended Mix)
Nelski – Body Pop (Original Mix)
Alex Gaudino featuring Crystal Waters – Destination Calabria (King Unique Remix)
Alan Braxe & Fred Falke – Intro (Bart B More Edit)
Crystal Waters – Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless) (Acapella)
Sex-O-Sonique – I Thought It Was You (12 Inch Mix)
