Very close to the end of the year now and, since my blogs throughout December may end up being a bit lengthy, I will spare you all the excessive word play for once. This week’s entry is intentionally brief.
As promised at the end of the last blog, this week I deliver the most deliberate of curve balls. And as deliberate as that was, this curve ball curves even more than even I expected it to. To give you a break from the usual format going into the New Year, Episode 20 is a cunning blend of records from 2011 that I couldn’t find a place for in the podcast when they were released, new material that has (probably) just about missed the boat in terms of my year mixes AND some pretty left-of-field old tracks. And because the mix doesn’t quite reach into those faster tempos as quickly as we normally do, I’ve even been able to include 22 tracks in there. A real bumper episode.
The opening 40 mins of this set are as dark, as moody and as aggressive an opening I have ever put together for an episode - the energetic stabs of Essence, the epic 303 synth of The Monster, the ominous (and instantly recognisable) orchestral breakdown of Scarface. The opening 40 mins comes with a certified health warning. Our house was well and truly shaking as I was mixing this.
Later, watch out for a killer transition from Maarten De Jong’s A50 into Super8 & Tab’s remix of Velvet Morning. Definitely one of the best I’ve ever done, that. And 'Tune Of The Episode' is Ruby & Tony’s fantastic remix of Menno De Jong – Place In The Sun. Huge tune that is too.
And that’s all there is to say really.
