Something For The Weekend




Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present to all of you the latest addition to my blog...Something For The Weekend.A lot of people normally plan something special to do during weekends. And some simply content themselves relaxing with their loved ones at home . Every weekend from now on , I will try to feature one mini mix ...something to kick start your weekend. Each mini mix will be composed of at least four songs and would be roughly around thirty minutes long. So however you wanna spend your weekend, I hope that these mixes put a smile on your faces.

The first mini mix I'm featuring is The Depeche Mode Retrospect.  I have tried to include most of the best songs of one of my favourite bands of all time. I had a great time producing this mini mix and I also hope that you'll enjoy listening to it. Have a brilliant weekend ,folks!

Question of Lust
Never Let Me Down Again

RETRObution vol. 4

I've been busy last week thus I'm behind with my posts. Nevertheless, I managed to squeeze the 4th volume of my RETRObution series in my spare time.  And a bit of trivia as well, the mix from "Push It" up to "I Go Crazy" is the exact copy of a portion of the mixtape I bought in 1988...my way of reliving the past. I just hope my brother has still kept the tape in its storage box back home.The link is down below.


By the way, I've got something special prepared for the weekend, so keep your eyes and ears open.

RETRObution Series

I’m back and as promised, I am presenting my RETRObution series. These compilation mixes are products of my passion for classic dance music. I initially didn’t intend to make it into series. I only wanted to make a nice retro mix to play in my car while on the road but I had fun making the first volume that I just carried on making more volumes until I ended up producing nine volumes over a span of three years. The mixes are presented in the traditional beat matching and the cut and paste styles of mixing…no fancy effects/sampling were used . I just wanted some good old style mixes and I never thought of sharing these in the net for those who like this type of mixing. I hope you all like these mixes as much as I enjoyed making them back then. These are for promo only and are available to listen to for a limited time because uploading 9 mixes in 320kps quality  will eat a huge chunk of my virtual drive in my 4shared and divshare accounts. For the meantime, enjoy the first two volumes and I’ll upload the rest in the coming days.
