I tend to do a little bit of planning ahead when it comes to making these episodes. I like to have some kind of a theme or direction in place before I make a start. For this episode however it was a case of “sod it, let’s just bung together a bunch of tunes that I like”. And that’s exactly what we have here.

A good few big names on this episode. A favourite of mine is the Futureshock remix of “Music : Response” by The Chemical Brothers.

Tracklisting:

1. Overmono & The Streets – Turn The Page
2. The xx – Angels (Shadow Child Unofficial VIP)
3. Orbital – Halcyon (Tom Middleton Re-model)
4. Hoxton Whores – Friday Saturday Love (Vocal Mix)
5. Dino Lenny vs The Housemartins – Change The World
6. The Chemical Brothers – Music : Response (Futureshock Stripped Response)
7. Sneaky Sound System vs. Cirez D – Pictures On Off (Funkagenda Bootleg)
8. Low Steppa – The Redoom (Original Mix)

Fun little story about the opening track “Bad Things” by Njoi. I bought this back when it came out in 1995 but for some reason I sold it as part of a big clear out prior to moving to Bournemouth in 1999. Fast forward to a year ago, this track randomly popped into my head. I was then immediately kicking myself having sold my copy of it all those years ago. Less than 48 hours later I’m in town with a little time to kill. I pop into a charity shop (I’m obsessed with picking up second hand cd’s) and sitting there in the vinyl rack was this very record. What are the odds? I couldn’t believe it! In excellent condition and only £4. I snapped it straight up. Glad to have it back in my collection.

I was bouncing around the room whilst putting this together. I like how it flips halfway through from a clubby vibe into more disco-edged grooves. AS usual it’s mostly retro house jams but there’s also a cheeky addition of ‘As We Step’ by the Audio Bullys, a more recent tune that is dripping with retro vibes.

Tracklisting:

1. NJoi – Bad Things
2. Wisdome – Off The Wall (Pussy 2000 Club Mix)
3. Urban Soul – Love Is So Nice (Colour System Inc. Amber Dub)
4. Big Room Girl feat Darryl Pandy – Raise Your Hands (Fire Island’s Saturday Night Mix)
5. Missy Elliot vs X-Press 2 – Freaky Muzikizum
6. Audio Bullys – As We Step
7. Wildcat – Special Request Dub
8. DJ Sneak – Keep on groovin’ (Ian’s Fierce mix)
9. Cut Masters – Front To The Back (Rhythm Masters Instrumental Dub)
10. Bump – I’m Rushin’ (Acapella)
11. Novy vs Eniac – Superstar (Jason’s Funk Factory Remix)
12. Dennis Ferrer – Hey Hey (Luke Pompey Remix)
13. Corrina Joseph – Live Your Life With Me (Narcotic Dub)

In other news, Retro House Mixtape is taking a little hiatus for a few months. Yep, after 76 weekly episodes I decided that the end of 2019 was a good time to take a short break from doing the show. 

Some quick nods before I go; A big shout out to the team at beach-radio.co.uk, thanks for making me part of the team in 2019. It’s been awesome putting a show together every week for the station. Cheers to the guys at OMG and to everyone on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook who has supported the show. I’ve got some other posts planned for over the festive season so make sure you follow my social media accounts in order to catch them.

Right! I’m off to do a house move (that’s not a dancing term, I’m literally moving house hence the need for a break) I will see you on the other side. Big thanks for dropping by the blog. I very much hope you have a Merry Christmas and an awesome New Year. Cheers!
