ONE OF THE BEST “HOUSE MUSIC” MIXES I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME. WOW, BRISTOL IS REALLY HOLDING IT DOWN! NEW MEETS OLD, CLASSY MEETS TRASHY AND ALWAYS JACKING. WITHIN THE PERIMETERS THIS MIX IS REALLY OPEN BUT BEYOND THAT THERE’S JUST A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC. UPFRONT FUTURISTIC TRAX MINGLE WITH CLASSICS IN A REALLY NATURAL WAY. ONCE YOU GET BIT BY THE HOUSE MUSIC BUG YOU ARE IN IT FOR LIFE AND THIS MIX IS A GREAT REMINDER OF WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE GENRE. YOU CAN STILL LISTEN TO IT FOR A FEW DAYS ON THE BBC IPLAYER AND AFTER THAT I’M SURE THERE ARE WAYS TO TRACK IT DOWN :-0. JULIO BASHMORE U CRAZY FOR THIS ONE!

I THINK THAT MY TWO ALL TIME FAVORITE RADIO DJS ARE FUNKMASTER FLEX AND JOHN PEEL. I REMEMBER LISTENING TO PEEL OVERNIGHT ON THE BBC WORLD SERVICE THAT AIRED ON MY LOCAL PUBLIC RADIO STATION. IT WAS LIKE HE WAS COMBINING ALL OF MY FAVORITE COLLEGE RADIO SHOWS INTO ONE BUT ONLY BETTER AND WITH LOTS MORE SWAGGER. AFTER SOME SERIOUS SEARCHING I FOUND AN AMAZING STASH OF PEEL RADIO RECORDINGS FROM THE 1960S LEADING ALL THE WAY UP TO HIS DEATH IN 2004 (CHECK IT OUT HERE). I’VE BEEN GOING THRU THEM SLOWLY AND REST ASSURED THEY ARE EXTREMELY SPECIAL. ALL STYLES ALL THE TIME AND ABSOLUTELY NO RULES. ALWAYS AHEAD AND ALWAYS SEARCHING – JOHN PEEL.
