Mick Chillage’s recently uploaded old school classics megamix created with Abelton live which features tracks by Inner city, orbital, L.F.O, Joey Beltram etc, Has received some great feedback, so much so that mainstream radio station here in Ireland Spin southwest are playing it as a guest DJ mix on their Houseparty show next friday the 17th about 11.45. GMT you can catch it on http://www.spinsouthwest.com or see previous post if you cant wait that Long
Everyone has their own definition of what old school is or what classic dance, techno, house, music is, I guess this is a collection of mine.. This mix will hopefully appeal to those who were around in the late 80′s to mid 90′s & maybe the younger clubber who has an interest in the past.. Also you may notice the dominance of the UK scene in the mix, this is due to the fact that the sound of Detroit & Chicago etc.. had not really penetrated Ireland in the early days except for maybe kevin Saunderson’s Inner city project or Rhythim is Rhythim “strings of life” which I originally had in the mix & later removed. In my early years of clubbing I always wanted to hear a perfect mix of my favorite tracks, & sometimes I came very close, but the DJ would usually fuck it up with something like Black box’s “ride on time”.. or even worse Timmy mallet’s “teeny weeny polka dot bikini” which had the ubiquitous “Oh Yeah” Public Enemy sample in it… Anyway fast forward to present day, I am fortunate to have all of these influential tracks in my CD collection & some amazing music making software called ableton & now I have what I would call the perfect Dj set of my favorite old school classic’s Ok some of the tracks may not be seen by many as classic or even old school, but they just connected with me in that unexplainable way…
Hope you enjoy
