This mix is the last in the 92, 02, 12 series. It's a vinyl only affair which made it great fun to do as it was a rare chance to blow the dust off the old 1210's and touch the music. Even have a couple of authentic fat finger moments too!
Putting the session together I was amazed how many tracks were actually from 2001, which means 2001 is set to get rinsed a couple of times in upcoming shows too.
Anyway back to 02 and it's not that shabby either. I'm sure you all remember - Soulfuric & Defected rules the waves and that is evident in this mix.
Some big tunes in here and it may surprise you that they are now 10 years old.
We had a good old reminisce in the chat room during the show.

We had ourselves a bumper show this week with an extra 30 minutes. The mix covers pretty much every base on an epic journey.
Starting with a fav of mine from 1991 - "In The Air" on Strictly Rhythm".
The mix then get's deep for a couple of tracks before bringing in some mellow vocal sounds.
We start to turn the screw around the hour mark but keep it vocal. Some incredible tracks in this section. If you like your up-tempo vocal house your in for a treat.
The jumping pumping discofied stuff is next with plenty to shake your rump to.
The gloves come off in the next section as we get chunky and deep.
We finish off with a modern classic from Josh Milan.
Great fun in the chatroom with the Thursday crew and great support on the outside from the regulars, Andy, Claire and Mandy in the UK. I appreciate all of your support, makes my Thursdays special.

Catch you all next week - same time, same place.

Since last weeks show was a trip back in time to 92 I thought it would be wise to reassure everyone that music is still strong today, so this weeks show is a best of 2012. Obviously we are only 3/4 of the way through, but as this show demonstrates 2012 has been a pretty good year by anyone's standards.

This mix is definitely on the chunkier side, so we may well see a more soulful "best of" before Santa drops his sack down the chimney.

The end of this Podcast is slightly different to the live show. That's because I fought the Dropbox and..... the Dropbox won - during the first 15 minutes of the show, so I restarted and forgot to hit record again!
In the live show the guys in the chatroom twisted my arm to keep it pumping. However I re-recorded the session on Sunday night so chose to end on a more mellow note (it was late and I was knacked.)

Thanks to everyone that listened to the live show, it was a busy chatroom once again and it was great to see long time supporters in there.

Likely to get back to the new stuff next week - so remember to tune in for the latest sounds around.
As Colin rightly pointed out, I've been telling everyone an incorrect UK time for the show. It is on at 11am BST (10am GMT), so I apologise to anyone that misses the first half of the show.

However for everyone in Australia next weeks show starts an hour later - so 9pm Sydney time to 11pm. That's due to our clocks going forward this weekend. This will be the regular time during our Summer. Hope I can persuade you to stay up late on a school night :)

This mix was inspired by my mate Bob who tunes in every week. He reached out for a pick me up and something inspirational so here we have it.
For all those true soulful house heads this will be like a 2 hour journey round a musical Madame Tussauds with just about every track bringing back memories and putting a very big smile on your boat race (face for all you guys over the pond :) ).

It was a great show with my busiest chatroom to date so thanks to everyone for helping to make it feel special. You'll notice this mix is 2hrs 16 mins long, but when music sounds this good you don't want it to stop.

So many HUGE tracks on here I can't even begin to pick out favs, they are all stellar examples of what got us hooked on this sound.

Hope you enjoy the mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together. This is one for your iPod's favourite playlist.

Enjoy - not much choice with this one!

It's taken a while for 2011 to turn up a big chunky mother of a mix but this one more than makes up for it. Not much to sing along to I'm afraid, but if your looking to get your sweat on you've come to the right place. The opener takes us back to 2009 and a track that I tried hard to find a home for a couple of year back but couldn't. The big phat bass that kicks in gives you a heads up of what your in for. It's not long before Jimpster makes an appearance and he is quickly followed by the Constipated Monkeys who still hold the title of best production name! Many of you will remember their track "Erectus" from the early Subliminal days. "I Keep Thinking Of You" has that new deep house feel to it with the smooth deep flowing sounds. "Vinyl Theme" takes the bass to a whole new level thanks to Max Martinez. Pol On evoke memories of early 90's rave with the synths in "Heavy Rain". It's been a while since we had any Milton Jackson on here but "One Clap Wonder" gives us a great excuse. Next up it's Lovebirds who have delivered BIG, firstly with "Give A Sh1t" which has a deep twisted disco sound with an overlay to die for. We stay with the disco biscuit for Art Of Tones "Dolces" which demonstrates the forward thinking and diversity of the producer. If you go back through older C2E mixes you'll see what I mean. Every track is different and pushing the boundaries. Next is the second Lovebirds track which has already found it's way into my top 3 tracks of 2011, yes it is that good. If you asked me to choose a track that encapsulates the C2E sound I strive for I would have to say "Chasing Things". It's everything I love about deep house music. We stay deep but transition from disco to East coast with "All Nations". One of the few vocal tracks is next and boy did Groove Assassin give this bad boy a workout. "Perfect Love" is a great big bouncing beast of a tune and will have you jumping around uncontrollably. The Aussies get in on the act next with Nathan G's "The Promise", again some great synths and chords in there. "So Real" has an old skool UK garage feel to it as it chugs and bounces along. The next track "It Keeps You Movin'" does exactly what it says on the tin and comes a very close second to Chasing Things. It's nine minutes long but that doesn't feel long enough as you just wanna clear some space and go nuts to this little gem. We start to ease out of the mix, but it's pretty gradual. "Toms Over" sees Kerri Chandler get in on the act. The track then floats over the top of Joey Negro's Medusa mix of "Every Day Of The Week". I have to say Dave is a very busy man at them moment, a ton of releases from him and all of them up to the standards we've come to expect. We leave the mix with "Make It last", a little deep disco number that I would have loved to squeeze more of in. I think this mix is going to live in my favourites for the rest of the year at least. Hopefully I'll get the chance to add another similar mix to the vaults before the year end. In the meantime, go get a towel handy to mop up the seat your about to make, and TURN IT UP!

Well the part about having enough tracks for two June mixes was true. Having the time to release them both in June wasn't. Still the mix is here now and that's the main thing. This mix is very different to most C2E mixes, this one is all grown up, deep, tribal and on the whole, pretty well behaved. You can tell it's going to be when you see the artists, Black Coffee, Vega, Atjazz, Josh Milan, Rocco and Mr McCabe. We open with an Atjazz remix of "Chasing" before moving into Vega's superb mix of Black Coffees "We Are One". Juju comes up with a mad laid back vibe on "My Personal Healer". The next track "First To Say Goodbye" has been around a while but this is the first mix that's provided a platform to play it. We stay with Tribe records for another slice of Tribal beats with "Banane Mavoka". RAW Artistic Soul keep things deep with their mix of "I Love The Night". Atjazz returns next with his twisted take on Anane Vegas "Plastic People" which has to be the biggest remix package ever seen. Osunlade lightens the mood slightly with "I'm Happy". Spen gets in on the act with a mix of "Stay With Me" by the legend that is Josh Milan. The next track "Ghetto People" is giving me big goosebumps at the moment, has an old Quentin Harris feel to it, great work by Guy Robin on the remix. Next we have the return of a classic from May 2011. Josh Milan's "Your Body". It's an Afghan Hound of a track so needs the chance to get out and really stretch it's legs, which it couldn't do on the May mix when we just let it out in the back yard. The next track is as crazy as we go on this mix. Tornado Wallace throws up a big fat funky mix of "Into The Night". We ease out of the mix with Sean McCabe's ever reliable touch, this time it's Miss Tucker and Su'Su Bobien on the receiving end with "Care Free". The last track is a real beauty all the way from Brasil. The BSC did a great job on You & Me, a genuine sunset track. The heads out there may recognise Moodymanns "On The Run" lurking in the background right at the end. No rest for the wicked, I'm off to get the July mix ready. As for you guys, you need to go get deep dark and tribal.

Smooth smooth smooth. That's about the only way to describe this months mix. Every now and then you find yourself with a ton of new tunes with a certain vibe. As tempting as it was to up the tempo mid way through, I thought I'd try to be all grown up and keep things civilised. The warmth on the first track Lem Springsteens "New Beginning" sets the tone. Nick Holder steps up next with more smooth in "Destination Africa". My favourite track on the mix is "Afternoon Tribute", if your a fan of Moodymanns "Mahogany Brown" then you will love this. It's like "Moodymann does Miami" and I' can't get enough of it. When the chords change during the build up you get that tingly feeling when you know something great is about to happen. The next track is up there too, "Sometimes" carries on with the overall deep smoothness of the mix. "Temple Movements" has a great deep NY shuffle to it along with a huge deep bass rumble. "Love Seeker" sees Groove Asssassin inject some tough beats to get your ass moving. Roland Clark returns to his soulful roots with "Tambor Love" a tune I must admit I missed first time round, but once you hear it a couple of times you'll find yourself singing it all day long. Frankie Feliciano toughens things up again with a chunky number "Stalker Track". "Love We Had" is a collaboration between Miguel Migs and Peven Everett, if you ask me they should get together more often. Hardsoul have also returned to the soulful fold with their polished mix of "Give It To Me". It isn't possible to do a mix these days without dropping a Sean McCabe tune, this month it's "Rough Times", but I could have chosen from a bucket load. We have three tracks in a row from Z records, great to see the label still going strong. This second track "Still In Love" is vintage Dave Lee. It's not often I buy a remake of tunes from the recent past that I loved first time round (just an old fart with things like that), but I made an exception with Soul Renegades mix of "Song For Sharma". The original was such a gem and still can't be beat, but man did they give it a shot. It's equally rare for me to play two mixes of the same track across my mixes, but was playing around with this when I dropped the accapella, I had a huge smile from ear to ear (and I was on the bus to work at the time). Only fair to share it with you guys so you can smile uncontrollably too. It's Conan Liquids mix of "Another World" with a classic over the top. I won't spoil it by telling you what it is, that way you have to listen to all of the mix :). We drop down a couple of gears to end. "Brazillian Skies" has you reaching for your Mojito, while "Dana's Dream" leaves you curled up on the rug in front of the fire in your favourite slippers. This mix is warm enough to melt the snow in Scotland and smooth enough to use as sun cream if your in the Southern Hemisphere. Yes I know this mix isn't as long as usual, but as the ladies say it's not the size that counts.

This mix starts off soft and fury on the outside, but deep inside is a pumping Baltimore core. The opening track "Out of Soul" is very laid back, one for lying in the park watching the clouds roll by. "Desires of the Heart" introduces a more familiar house beat but is still nice n chilled. Mr V shows us his smooth side with "Remember Me". Atjazz is the man to watch, he just adds another dimension to deep. Couldn't choose between the dub and regular mix, so went for both of them. My little boy has a thing for the next track "Gotta Get With Him", has him in fits of laughter. One of my favourite tracks on this mix is "Again", great vocals and piano chords. We go back in time to the early 90's next with Terrence Parkers classic "The Question", followed by Victor Simonellis "Do You Feel Me", both bring back great memories. There were a ton of mixes to choose from on the next track "Never Quite The Same", to be honest I like them all, for this part of the mix and the transition required the Neil Pierce remix is the best fit. I've been trying to drop "Till You Go Home" for a few months now, but the vybe on the mix hasn't been right. Made a few adjustments to get it in this month. I go nuts every time I listen to it. If you were a fan of "Into My Life" by Elements of life from back in 08, you will love this track. It has a couple of transitions, and the last one is timeless. The mood of the mix changes again with the introduction of "Another Generation", a modern disco sound from the maestro Dave Lee. The mix then gets very tight and intense with a distinct wiff of Baltimore madness. Starting with Spen and the Muthafunkas with "Woah!". The track sounds pretty upbeat until "Sweat Shop" is introduced after which things sounds pretty dark, the contrast sounds great. Rick Wade then joins in with some filthy disco mash in "Duke Of Cologne". It's then back to Baltimore for the next three tracks, "You Can't Hide From Yourself", "K.O.N.G" and "Da Bang Banga". We all need a rest after that so we settle back down with "Universal Message" which features a great sample from Full Metal Jacket. We end almost as chilled as we started with "From Your Soul". If your a Spen and Karizma nut you should have had your fill by the time you've finished listening to this one.

Back when I did MAW Vol1 I really didn't expect it to take a year to release volume two. There are so many tracks to choose from that I thought Vol2 would be out the following month! The thing about mixing MAW tracks though is that the production is so full and so rich, it makes it tough to find gaps to slide the tracks together. Some might argue all the big tracks have already been heard in volume one, but I would disagree, nearly all my MAW faves are in here, I'm a sucker for the stripped down dub in case you haven't already noticed. MAW have made so many tracks with great openings that it was really hard to pick the first track (that took 10 months!!) In the end I went for the vocal stormer "Desire" to kick things off, hey why mess about! Track two was another toughie and after lots of experimenting Kenny Lattimore's "Days Like This" was a winner. The clock is then wound back to 1992 for Trey Lorenz "Photograph Of Mary". "Give It Up" slows the mix back down slightly, but the production is so deep it had to be done. Now the next track is cheating a little bit as Kenny Dope has only really edited the great work already done by Joey Negro who in turn was enriching the hugely talented Blaze, but it works for me, and it's my mix. No arguments over the next track, I have said it before and I'll say it again, "No Cure" is one of my favourite MAW tracks, top five stuff. I couldn't tell you exactly why, I just love it. Same again with the next track "What A Sensation" which is top three for me. I first heard it on the MOS Session 5 that the Masters created, luckily I had it on CD, otherwise it would have been worn out within weeks. Those tribal drums and synths are unreal and then to top it off India is in there too. fast forward to 2000 and we have another production rich track "Never Forget", the electric guitar has never sounded so sexy. We then come right up to date with another Kenny Dope remix and this one's legit, "Oh Lord" has a very distinct flavour. The next track is what happens when you put a crazy heap of talent in a studio together, "Beautiful People" for some is the epitome of MAW. "Oye Como Va" is another track from the MOS sessions mix again featuring the incredible vocal skills of India. If Volume One belonged to Louie, then Volume Two has Kenny all over it. "The Bomb" is aptly named. The air macks in the intro and outro are in my top three MAW tunes, yes it was commercialised in the UK, but its guaranteed to get my feet stomping every time. We have more hot stuff from Miss Tucker with "Stay Together" before heading back to Kenny's place again for an incredible mix of the Brand New Heavies "I Don't Know Why". Louie ends the mix with Sara Devine and "Take Me Home", a great track I caned to death back in 2003, vintage Vega and one of the reasons we're all addicted to this thing called house.

1) Nu Colours - Devine
