WARNING! This mix is a different from usual and probably not one for the purists. I was very much in 2 minds about making it but I have had a few requests for some main stream house dating back a while and the other weekend some mates were asking what sort of set I would play as a main set at a big outdoor beach party with a more commercial crowd. Figured it was a good test of versatility and this is the end result......
There's a couple of link tunes to pickup from a pretend warm up act and these are what is today called deeper house but they are not very deep in my book. Then the mix kicks straight on into upfront house music with lots of well known riffs, vocals, piano melodies, etc. This is pumping commercial house music with at times a garagey twist along the same vibe, proper drunk feel good main room dancing tunes. Takes me back to the mid 90s with all the legendary bucks boys we were 16 and going to commercial house clubs like Visage in Hemel, Kudos in Watford, etc. they all were playing this 125bpm house sound. I end with a 2003 progressive uplifter just for good measure. I have to say it difficult to play commercial house these days and not cross over to EDM (errrrh!) but I think I just managed it, all about the garagey basslines.
Turn it on, turn it up and see!
