Six years after part 1 I decided to put the Silk back in the Soul: Let's take you back once again to the late 80s/early 90s in Silky Soul 2!
Part 2 picks up where part 1 left off: a selection of tracks from mainstream artists that got remixed into club-friendly house mixes by my favourite early 90s US/UK/IT producers: The Steve “Silk” Hurley/E-Smoove/Maurice Joshua and Def Mix (Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Satoshi Tomiie) production/remix teams, Shep Pettibone, Masters At Work, Joey Negro, Dimitri From Paris, Eric Kupper and more.
When I started selecting the amount of tracks added up quickly giving me two options: Split up in two parts or make it one long mix? I chose for the second option, resulting in a 5 hour mix, containg 64 tracks, with over 100 different versions (dubs, instumentals, remixes) used. With 3 weeks of digging, selecting and hunting down (and wait for) missing dubs (to arrive). The mixing process took me 5 weeks to complete. A few hours every day, a new puzzle to solve every time: How am I going to fit this track with the next one.
Here's my 2020 Christmas present to you. I hope you will enjoy as much as you did last time!
At some one point Soundcloud decided to set a limit of 4000 caracters for the description field. If you want to read the full tracklisting, including all versions/mixes used, please follow the Dropbox link below:
