Guest Mix 003 – DJ Dean ‘Sunshine’ Smith
by slowitdown on February 10, 2012
For the third in our guest mix series we bring you a heart-warming blend of nu-balearic and pitched down house from our favourite Brummie; Dean ‘Sunshine’ Smith.
As well as being an avid music lover, promoter, record dealer and all round good guy, Dean is also a key figure behind Croatia’s Garden Festival – where we first bumped into Dean working his magic at one of the many boat parties a few years back.
Shortly after we invited Dean up to guest at one of our low-key parties in Glasgow, bringing a little bit of the Adriatic sunshine (and a big bag of 45′s) up north.
Last year Dean launched his ‘Soulshare’ imprint, releasing both Vinyl and digitally, retouching well-known and oft-forgotten soul classics, whilst retaining the spirit of modern house.
In a day where everyone’s releasing edits, Dean’s love for the craft is reflected in his sympathetic reworks, and we’re delighted he’s agreed to put this slick mix of both current and future releases together for us, enjoy..

Elijah Collins Mix
by siteadmin on January 26, 2012
Our second mix in our guest series comes from London’s Elijah Collins.
No stranger to the Beatport and Juno top 10 with his originals (with partners in crime; Nist and Tee J) and new remixes for the likes of Kris Darang – just check out his wicked take on Darangs ‘Check Me Out’
One of our favourite producers from the uber talented Mullet Records camp, he is a badman behind the decks and a famiilar face on the London scene, supporting the likes of Greg Wilson Alex Raphael and Aeroplane recently – and it’s a pleasure to host Elijahs wicked blend of Soul, Funk, Disco and Boogie, both old and new.

Munga Guest Mix
by siteadmin on January 9, 2012
First up in our guest mix series is a heater from our favourite disco peddler Munga.
The Brooklyn resident had us hooked since his wicked rework of Dynasty’s ‘Love In The Fast Lane’ – a track we truly ripped the backside out of last year.
A producer who dissects tracks to make girls move on the dancefloor; it’s fair to say we’re all over anything anything he puts out – this wicked mix being no exception.
We think 2012 will be a big year for the native New Yorker.
