I mixed this 'live' for my 42nd birthday. I wanted to create a feeling of nostalgia and mixing a more ‘house-music’ style of tracks put together for fun rather than a big serious soundscape like my usual fare.

Lots of these tracks are from Years ago and the entire mix spans pretty much from 1991-2020. It’s not a retrospective of house music but I did want to include a few classics and include some good old hands in the air piano tracks that do it for me and capture that sense of care-free happiness from the early 1990’s. Who doesn’t love a piano track right?

I grew up listening to hardcore, jungle, intelligent drum and bass, house and then mainly progressive house – I always loved the different sounds being produced by each genre and i feel today the melting pot of electronic music has them all fused neatly together.

I hope more than anything this mix brings a smile and that you as the listener can nod your head to a good few of these tracks and I take you back to your very own feelings of love and nostalgia.

Enjoy. DJ
