The Ibiza Annual 2024 (Afro & Melodic House) - mixed by Mark Anthony (November 2024)

The Ministry of Sound use to always put out classic compilation albums during the 90's called 'The Annual'. They featured all the top tracks that were being played in clubland at the time and were mixed by many of the biggest DJs: Pete Tong, Boy George, Judge Jules, etc… They use to do 2 versions, 'The Annual' would come out at the end of the year and highlight all the biggest tracks of the past year and there was an 'Ibiza' edition which highlighted all the big tracks from the summer on the island. I got to reminiscing about these the other week so decided to make my own version featuring all the biggest tracks from the Ibiza season 2024. Hope you like it!

Sandy B - Make the World Go Round (Ryan Blythe Remix)(Mark Anthony Rework)

Originally released in 1996 and remixed by the mighty Deep Dish, Champion Records released 2 new remixes in 2020 mixed by Ryan Blythe. There was a club mix and a full vocal version.

Neither version really did it for me. Both mixes were really short and not really long enough for club play. The club mix had a better intro and outro but didn't have the fantastic full vocal. Whereas the vocal mix didn't have much of an intro or outro to it at all! So the obvious thing to do was to combine the 2. I've not added anything, just reworked the 2 mixes and made them into a more accessible version....

Let me know what you think!

Back to Love (Hacienda, Number 1 Club & Renaissance 'Mansfield' Classics)(Part 1 - The Number 1 Club 1992/1993) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (April 2021)

Just over a year ago I mixed a tribute to Manchester's 'Number 1 Club' using tracks selected and chosen from a list compiled by members of the club via the Facebook group 'The No1 Club Manchester (86-93)'.

One Year on and it seems only right that we re-visit the 'Number 1' for another trip down memory lane...

This time instead of doing a 'classics' mix I've tried to re-create a night and capture the sound & feel of the club from late 1992/early 1993. Utilizing some of the tracks I couldn't fit on the first mix and blending them together with the tougher more progressive music of the time I hope it gives you a feel of what a night at 'No 1' club with Tim Lennox on the turntables would have sounded like. Fingers crossed I've pulled it off....

I have to admit this really was a joy to do and although it's firmly a 'Number 1 Club' mix, I have to admit that by mid way through I found myself 50 miles south of Manchester on the dancefloor of another club in Mansfield, nr. Nottingham - the legendary 'Renaissance' (another place that holds many a memory). Tim Lennox was really championing that early 90's Progressive House vibe made famous by Sasha, Ian Ossia & John Digweed. It's a sound that really doesn't get played much nowadays but really epitomizes early 90's club culture and I love it x

1. Da Mabb - You Don't Get Stop

2. Slam - Eterna

3. Club Z - I Wanna Be Someone (A-K-A Vocal Mix)

4. Reel 2 Reel ft. Erick More - The New Anthem (Union City Mix)

5. The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M ft. Michelle Visage - It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day (Palladium House Anthem 1)

Back to Love (Club Class #1)(Lost Gems, Forgotten Remixes & Timeless Classics) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (March 2021)

First mix from my private stash of home listening grooves. All the tracks are timeless vocal 'sing-a-long' house tracks that were released in 1991/1992, so there all 30 years old or thereabouts!

Some of them you will no doubt know, some of them you may not. There are a couple of huge timeless club classics in the mix but I've opted to play the lesser known mixes (mainly because there my favorite versions!) and they've been slightly overshadowed over the years and forgotten about...

I really hope you enjoy it. If you do then please don't be shy, show it some love, give it a like and share it with your friends on social media. Don't forget to follow me for more future mixes...

Back to Love (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Home Nightclub Classics)(Part 3 - The Hacienda 1993) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (February 2021)

Finishing my trilogy of nostalgic nights at the grand daddy of all Manchester night clubs, the legendary 'Hacienda'.

I never got to DJ at the Hacienda (well once at a private function downstairs in the 'Gay Traitor' does that count?) But let's face it when you have Russ Marland & Mike Pickering on a Friday and the legendary partnership of Tom Wainwright & Graeme Park on a Saturday the only place you ever wanted to be in the Hacienda was on the dancefloor! I missed the early years as I was only a puppy in short trousers when it opened so I started going in 1992, but for me it was 1993-1995 that really stood out as the ultimate Hacienda years. The music, the atmosphere, Tom & Graeme working the night, it was just magical. I remember one night being stood outside were those huge fire doors and you could hear those David Morales 'Def Mix' deep basslines coming from inside, it was like a cathedral of sound... There will never be another like it.

This mix features the sounds and tracks that I loved and were played there in 1993. It's not necessarily the big anthems but for me personally every record just encapsulates the sound that was 'The Hacienda'. Hopefully it will transport you back to an imaginary 1993 night at the corner of 'Whitworth Street, Manchester'.

1. Utah Saints - What Can You Do For Me (Klub Mix)

2. Serious Rope - Happiness (You Make Me Happy)(Original Mix)

3. E-Lustrious - Givin' You No Rest (In the End Mix)

Back to Love (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Home Nightclub Classics)(Part 2 - Home Nightclub 1994) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (January 2021)

Starting 2021 with a retro mix of some of the tunes I use to play back in 1994 at 'Home Nightclub' on Ducie Street in Manchester.

Saturday nights was named ‘Sat’ and featured the LuvDup boys Mark & Adrian in the main room, Paula ‘n’ Tabbs in the bar and The Slammin Boys in the back room. Friday night was ‘Discovery’ with Mike E-Bloc & Paul Walker in the main room and Richard ‘Moonboots’ & Bobby Langley in the bar.

Musically the place was off the hook... It was like nowhere else in Manchester. There was no warm up as such, the beats were booming and full on from the minute you got in to the minute you left - there was so much energy in the place! Hopefully this will comes across in the mix. It was very reminiscent of places such as 'Progress' & 'Hot To Trot' in Derby & 'Club for Life' in London.

I got to play there a few times around 1994 and eventually became one of the resident DJ's there and played in all 3 rooms at one time or another. I was also one of the residents there when it got re-branded at a later date as ‘Fluid’.

This mix features the sound from 1994. Another mix of the later stuff will follow....

1. Gat Decor - Passion (Do You Want it Right Now Mix)

2. Elevatorman - Funk & Drive (Non Stop Top Floor Edit)

3. E-Lustrious - In Yer Dance (Mother Remix)

4. Medium High - The Pleasure (Chris & James Mix)

5. Livin Joy - Dreamer (Original Club Mix)

6. Commission ft. Janet Lewinson - One Man (Association Remix)

7. Staxx - Joy (Love Joy Vocal Mix)

8. Direckt - Two Fat Guitars (Unreleased Remix)

9. Escrima - Train of Thought

10. Tin Tin Out ft. Sweet T - The Feeling (Tin Tin Out Mix)

11. Donna Giles - And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going (Pride Mix)

12. Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor Mix)

13. Way Out West - Ajare (Original Mix)

14. Grace - Not Over Yet (Perfecto Mix)

15. Anthony White - Love Me Tonight (Jimmy Gomez 6AM Mix & Gomez Rocks the Joint)

16. The Original - I Love You Baby (Dancing Divaz Club Mix)

17. Awesome 3 - Don't Go '94 (Luvdup 12" Mix)

Play it loud, sing, dance, smile, enjoy...
