For this week’s episode I decided to go back through the first 20 episodes of Retro House Mixtape. I’ve chosen a favourite track from each episode and then thrown them all together in a 60 minute mix. It was a bit of a challenge (and it looks like I only managed 19 tracks but let’s keep that between you and me) but I think it just about all comes together.

Tracklisting:

1. A Guy Called Gerald – Voodoo Ray (Grant Nelson Remix)
2. Porno – Music Power (Vocal Club Mix)
3. Wildchild – Renegade Master (Scott Forshaw & Greg Stainer Remix)
4. Revival 3000 – Mighty High
5. Empire of the Sun – We Are The People (Crazy P Remix UK Edit)
6. Jamiroquai – Deeper Underground (Paul Jackson’s Version Excursion)
7. CLS – Can You Feel It (Lisa Marie Vocal Experience Mix)
8. Roger Ruff – Some Justice (Bootleg)
9. Hagenaar & Albrecht, Prodigy – Everybody In The Place (Witch Doktor Mash Up)
10. Dennis Ferrer – Hey Hey (Luke Pompey Remix)
11. Transatlantic Soul – Release Yo’self (Liquid Vocal Mix)
12. Bobby Blanco & Miki Moto – Satisfied
13. The Wildchild Experience – Bring It Down (The Big Bird Cage Remix)
14. Pizzaman – Sex On The Streets (Accapella Loop)
15. Fatboy Slim – Star 69 (Styline Remix)
16. DJ Pooch – Let The Bass Roll
17. Jaydee – Plastic Dreams (Kleen Kutz Re-Rub)
18. Ruffneck feat Yavahn – Move Your Body (Mousse T’s Deep Dub)
19. Sagat – Luvstuff

Thanks for supporting Retro House Mixtape

I first started doing this as bit of an experiment and looking back I’m pretty happy with how the first year has turned out. Retro House Mixtape has hosted approximately 54 hours worth of house music consisting of roughly 650 tracks. During that time Retro House Mixtape has managed to build up a following of over 1500 users online with over 5000 listens and 60,000+ minutes listened to which is pretty awesome. Honestly there have been a few times when I’ve wondered if I would keep going and whether it was still worth doing. Looking back on those stats I have to say that it’s been worth the effort considering that I started this completely from scratch just 12 months ago.

So a huge HUGE thanks to everyone who has supported the show over the last 12 months whether it’s a ‘like’, a re-tweet, leaving a comment online, sharing the mixes or even chipping in a few quid to help keep things running. Big shout to the team at Beach Radio who kindly invited me into the fold earlier this year and have hosted the show as part of their Friday night line-up. The plan is keep the episodes coming with hopefully a few live gigs popping up in the future. Speaking of which, use the ‘Contact Me‘ link if you run a venue or are planning an event and you’re thinking that Retro House Mixtape might be just the thing you’re looking for to make it memorable.

After last weeks mix of garage rhythms and big fat basslines it seemed like a good idea to follow it with a different vibe. I guess you could call this mix ‘progressive’, it’s very synth-based and melodic with a fair few vocal tracks to boot. The opening track by The Beloved is a long time favourite of mine, the backing vocals are so good on that track. There’s also a rare U2 remix in there by house music legends Pete Heller and Terry Farley that is bursting with juicy old school house vibes.

Tracklist:

1. The Beloved – Ease The Pressure (Surge)
2. Kristine W – Feel What You Want (Greenlight Vocal)
3. Eve Gallagher – You Can Have It All (Ramp Club Mix)
4. Sebastian Leger – Hypnotised
5. Empire of the Sun – We Are The People (Crazy P Remix UK Edit)
6. 4Tune 500 – Dancing In The Dark
7. U2 – Salome (Zooromancer Remix)
8. DJ Rolando – Jaguar (Space Motion Remix)
9. Pauline Taylor – Constantly Waiting (Rollo & Sister Bliss Epic Mix)
10. Disco Citizens – Footprint (Sonic Mix)
11. Members of Mayday – Sonic Empire (Jan Driver Mix)
12. Anthony White – Love Me Tonight (Way Out West Remix)

Huge thanks to everyone who checks out the mix week in, week out and to those who follow Retro House Mixtape on Instagram and Mixcloud. Don’t forget to share this week’s episode with any other lovely people out there who love a bit of house music.
