This mix was recorded to support the launch of Come to Daddy (C2D) when the club night expanded to Manchester.

Come to Daddy was already well known for its events in London and Bristol, attracting a loyal crowd and a strong house music following. When the night arrived in Manchester, this mix was put together to capture the kind of sound that worked perfectly for the dancefloor.

Expect a big, funked up house mix packed with uplifting grooves, chunky beats and plenty of club energy.

Ibiza! is a mix inspired by the sounds I heard while visiting Ibiza in 2009.

It is a little different from my usual style, but after spending time on the island and hearing some incredible music in the clubs and bars, I felt inspired to put together a mix capturing some of that Ibiza house vibe.

Expect uplifting house tracks, big melodies and the kind of energy that made Ibiza such a special place for dance music.

Ultra Dirt 10 marks the tenth entry in the Ultra Dirt series and keeps the sound firmly rooted in darker, dirtier house music.

By this stage, Ultra Dirt had become one of my most recognised mix series, bringing in a lot of new listeners alongside the funkier sets. This mix keeps that tougher, more underground energy going from start to finish.

The fourth instalment of the Fridays @ Via mix series, inspired by my Friday night residency at Via Fossa on Canal Street in Manchester.

This mix reflects the kind of journey I would often take the dancefloor on during the night. It begins with funky house grooves before building into some dirtier, late night house sounds as the energy picks up.

Running at around 1 hour 15 minutes, it captures the atmosphere of a busy Friday night in the Manchester Village.

Blue Tomato Madrid was recorded in 2009 as a promotional mix for a planned Blue Tomato event in Madrid.

The mix was created to showcase the soundtrack and atmosphere of the club night ahead of the event, featuring the kind of uplifting house music that Blue Tomato had become known for. Although the Madrid event ultimately never went ahead, the mix was completed and has remained tucked away in my archive ever since.

Rather than let it stay unheard, I thought it deserved to be shared as part of my podcast collection.

Expect a blend of funky, vocal and commercial house, capturing the sound I was playing at the time.

Uplifted 2 was recorded especially for Euroskipride, which took place in Saalbach, Austria in 2010.

The mix follows the uplifting and progressive house sound I was really enjoying at the time, with melodic builds and a slightly deeper, trance influenced feel running through it.

Euroskipride was organised by promoter Steve Morris, who created an amazing event bringing people together for music, skiing and celebration in the Austrian Alps. Steve is sadly no longer with us, but he will always be remembered for the energy and passion he brought to the scene.

My Ride 2 EuroSki Pride 2010 mix, recorded to get people in the mood for the EuroSki Pride event in Saalbach, Austria, which took place 20–27 March 2010.

EuroSki Pride combined great skiing with a packed week of parties and events in the Austrian Alps, bringing together people from across Europe for a unique Pride celebration on the slopes. I was lucky enough to be part of the line up that year, playing across the week.

This mix reflects the kind of sound that worked perfectly for the event, a blend of funky and commercial house designed to warm things up before heading out for a night in the mountains.
