Rubber Stamped Mixes

Part II of my mix from the British Polo on a huge outdoor 12k soundsystem.

The next 3 hrs of the mix, leaves behind the nu disco and deeper house and moves into a more garagy vibe. Then in tune with the crowd, I finish with a selection of mainroom house bangers ranging from proper DJ Dan style uptempo classic house music to some more commercial indie dance remixes including tunes like Say My Name - Florence and the Machine, Love Sensation - Loleatta Holloway, Bur Woo Hoo and Sunglasses at Night - Lissat and Voltaxx.

The aim was to raise the roof off, well there was no roof, just stars but i smashed it anyway! Big Shout out to Barney who matched me on the Jim Beams all the way......

Part one takes you on a FIVE hour journey from 115 to 125bpm through deep house, indie dance and nu disco. The set was recorded live at the British Polo in Arabian Ranches Dubai. For the first hour or so the tunes supplied the backdrop for an after event drink but soon there was head nodding and people were slowly moving their feet, busting some slower shapes. After a couple of hours the whole place started grooving and thats when it went off. Musically the mix has a great flow and it seemed to work well for a more mixed crowd can typically be more commercial. I think this is why I only had one conversation all nightalong the lines of "can I make a suggestion? can you please play some Rihanna". The mix might be my best yet, from 2.5hrs in once they were dancing it felt like tune after tune after tune and the response from the crowd was electric.

It will take a while to listen to but that's ok, turn it on, turn it UP, take your time and enjoy! a 5hr set is great for a car journey, great for a houseparty, great for background tunes at work, great for your garden at a bbq, nice for a long run. Just turn it UP!

Get a few thousand people in a sunny field drinking champagne and pimms all afternoon and it is going to be carnage. Add in Rubber his tunes, a 12k sound system at an outdoor afterparty in the Polo club courtyard and it's clearly going to go off! and this one did..... Massive shout to Barney Brotherhood for carrying my record bag and pouring the Jim Beams all night, we smashed that bottle! Maximum respect to Paul Dias and the sound engineers from Soundsol. Total calmness when some happy reveller spilt a full drink over one of my decks that then stuck playing backwards. Quick and efficient swap out, CDJ opened in minimal light, circuit boards dried, parts replaced and deck back slotted in with minimum fuss. Love working with professionals!

Part 2 of this mix to follow next month

I kicked off the Sunstroke Pool Party live on the terrace of the Radisson Blu Hotel Media City for my mate Andrei and his Sunstroke Collective. My set was 1hr 45 of deeper warmup vibes to get the party started. The event was headlined by CN Williams who Norman Jay reckons is the best resident DJ in the UK. CN was broadcasting the event live on his Reelhouse Records radio feed. I had a brilliant day out. Big ups to Chants, Stan, Irene, Andrew, Dan,Omar, etc. who all came down to support me plus special guests Jan and Kate from Singapore. CN destroyed the dancefloor technically amazing and some upfront house music with old skool acapellas. Roll on the next one!

Rubber is back to his roots with a 3hr house set. It's taken a while but i can safely say it will be worth it.... I've had tunes in my beatport crate for 8+ months for this set! A new job and running 4 football teams does not help...... I finally narrowed down 32 tunes for my new mix. It is deep and full of proper house music 114-126bpm with some very funky basslines and old skool piano riffs, etc. Huge shout out to the Goa crew - Cheese, Sween, Donna, George, Alistair, Chico, Pete and Thom, your musical aura's have inspired me loads! Really hope to be out dj'inng on the Lost In Ibiza boat this summertime. Huge reunion!

Aplogies people as it's been nearly 6 weeks since my last mix! It has been pre-season with my football club Dubai FC and as we are running 4 teams this season arrangements have been taking up lots of my time.

Freestyle beat matching those 174bpm tunes when im used to 115-135bpm was not my best mixing ever but boy was it fun!

I am back with a 200 minute journey through house  music. Starting nice and deep blended with some nu disco moving to more progressive and tech house mixed with a sprinkle of techno ending with some indie dance. From 113bpm to 130bpm this will take you places! Enjoy the tunes and turn it up.....

 Tracklisting:

I promised i would be back with a long mix and even though it took a while i have returned with a 30 tune old and new 3hour Anjunabeats banger. Tunes used are my the usual suspects Super8 and Tab, Matt Hardwick, Oceanlab, Daniel Kandi, Ost & Mayer, Parker and Hanson, Richard Bedford, Above and Beyond, Nitrous Oxide, P.O.S., Mike Koglin, Mark Phledger, Luminary, Mike Shiver, Cramp, Bluestone, Oliver Smith and others.... Wicked gym music! I will be back with something more down tempo and housey. Until then turn it up and please share the podcast page. Big Love Rubber!

90mins of Nu Disco and Indie Dance. It starts slower and deeper then builds up and becomes more electro-ey. Has a french house edge to it with tunes from Cassius, Martin Solveig, Dirty Vegas, Tensnake, Deadmau5, Tiger and Woods, Jacsun and the man of the moment Madeon. I hope you enjoy this yet again different mix. Sorry its been a while, i will be back with a longer mix soon. big ups to all, Rubber.
