My Ride 2 Manchester Pride 2012 mix, put together to get you ready for one of the biggest weekends in the Manchester calendar.

Manchester Pride 2012 was a particularly special one for me, as I had the chance to play in Village Square and the atmosphere was incredible. The crowd, the energy and the music made it a Pride weekend to remember.

This mix captures that Pride party spirit, packed with uplifting house and club tracks to get you in the mood before heading into the Village.

This special edition mix was recorded for Come to Daddy (C2D) and Brighton Bear Weekender (BBWE), where I was playing on 30 July 2012.

The mix leans a little more towards the commercial side than my usual sets, with a selection of uplifting house tracks designed to capture something for everyone on the dancefloor. Expect a blend of club favourites including classics from Freemasons and Moto Blanco, alongside house remixes of Madonna and Kylie.

It was put together to reflect the atmosphere of the weekend and the kind of music that worked perfectly for the crowd.

If you were there for my set in Brighton, hopefully this mix brings back a few good memories.

Aftershocked is a mix inspired by the set I played in January 2012 at Manchester’s late night club Aftershock.

Known for its underground atmosphere and late night energy, Aftershock was one of Manchester’s go-to after hours parties, bringing together house music lovers who wanted to keep the dancefloor moving well into the early hours.

This mix reflects the kind of sound that worked perfectly in that setting, with driving house tracks, darker beats and high energy club moments.

Ultra Dirt 12, The Dirty Dozen, brought the series back with the same darker edge and dirty house sound that listeners had come to expect.

Even after a break, the Ultra Dirt style still felt strong, with its mix of heavier grooves, twisted synths and big club energy. This edition keeps the series feeling fresh while staying true to what made it popular in the first place.

Tonker 2 was recorded around the time I played at Tonker at The Eagle in Vauxhall, London on Friday 23 March 2012.

Tonker, created by DJ Tim Jones, was one of the well known nights on the London gay club scene, known for its energetic crowd and strong house music sound. The night regularly attracted DJs and clubbers who were looking for a proper late night dancefloor.

This mix reflects the kind of music that worked perfectly for the Tonker crowd, with driving house tracks and big club energy.

Three years after Trance Sessions Vol. 1, I returned to one of my favourite genres with Trance Sessions Vol. 2.

Although I'm best known for uplifting house, funky house and vocal house, trance has always been a style of music I've enjoyed listening to and mixing. This set continues that journey, bringing together uplifting melodies, powerful breakdowns and driving beats inspired by the sound that was filling clubs and festivals in 2011.

Like the first volume, this wasn't recorded for a club night or live event. It was simply an opportunity to step away from my usual house sets and enjoy mixing another genre that has always been close to my heart.

If you enjoyed Trance Sessions Vol. 1, I hope you'll enjoy this second instalment just as much.

Northern Pride is one of the largest LGBT festivals in the North East of England, bringing together thousands of people each year for a weekend of celebrations, music and community events across the city.
