It’s sometimes funny how these episodes come about. A lot of the time it’s as simple as thinking of that first track and building from there. I had this opening track by Eve Gallagher pencilled in as an opener for weeks now with the intention of building it into a melodic, clubby set that climaxed with some big epic tunes. Instead this set starts off on that same clubby vibe but by the end it steers into a more ‘ravey’ direction but hey, it works for me so that’s all good.

I wanted to do something a little different for Episode 20 of Retro House Mixtape and as luck would have it something perfect was happening on the same day as this episode. One of my all time favourite bands, The Prodigy, were releasing their latest album ‘No Tourists’. I’ve been lucky enough to catch them live on three separate occasions and every time they have torn the roof off the place. It’s not often that a new Prodigy album comes around so I couldn’t resist putting a mix together to mark the occasion. 

For this mix I’ve picked out various bootlegs and remixes that I have stumbled across over the years. There’s even a little something that I made myself a LONG time ago (so bear with me when it comes to the sound quality on that one, okay?).
