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.

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)

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)
