DMZ Diary

#25 December 2003

Continuing the Site update I catch up with more great tunes and another guest slot from the ever popular Leni K, if you ever see the guy be sure and tell him you heard his mix on my show!

This mix was recorded in one take while my wonderful wife Amy was making preparations for Christmas Dinner, no planning or preparation was used, this mix is probably the show which to date most resembles a live set.

Part 1

Artist Track Label Buy? (readme)
Bassbin Twins ESW Marine Parade
This is the intro track we play at the start of every show.

Underworld
2 Months Off (King Unique Mix) Junior
King Unique's remix makes this record seem even more inspirational that the original.

Simon
Free At Last Positiva
Sampling Martin Luther King speeches is hardly an original idea in dance music, probably because the original speeches had a tempo which lent themselves to reinterpretation. This record is a 'by the numbers' example of this property.
Saints and Sinners
Pushin' Too Hard Bedrock
A couple of years ago this track seemed to turn up on every major DJ mix for 6 months, I guess I'm a little late, but those of you who haven't head it can still enjoy it.

Spice
69 Overdrive (Timo Maas Mix) Peppermint Jam
Timo Mass once again proves that you can make a farting synthesiser sound funky.

Stereo 8
Can't Stop Finger Lickin'
This weeks visit to Finger Lickin records comes courtesy of Stereo 8 with probably their strongest offering yet.

Dub Pistols
Problem Is (Soul Of A Man) Distinctive
This is almost another Finger Lickin' track with Soul of A Man on the remix knobs.
Elite Force
Gasoline Alley Whole 9 Yards
This mix is a lot more Housey than most of the stuff found on W9Y records, but it's perfectly suited to this mix.

Unknown
I Have no clue what this record is.
FC Kahuna
Everything is Wrong (Radio Slave Mix) City Rockers
FC Kahuna had a pretty good year in 2002, and this capped it off.

Daniel Diamond
Champu City Rockers
Another City Rockers track, but from a year ago, great funky synthy house music.

Venus vs Mars

Take a domestic dispute and set it to house music, remind me that I should be helping my wife out in the Kitchen....
Plump DJ's
Electro Disco Finger Lickin'
Their album may not have reinvented breaks but it was still worth every penny, anyone who's at all interested in dance music shoul pick up Eargasm if they get the chance.


Week 25 Guest - Leni K


Leni K back again for another session - this time with a look at 'The Future' - the full version of this mix is available on his Web Site so if you're digging this then you should head over there and check it out.

Stay Funky....
see ya Next Week.
