I never seam to run out of Lost & Found mixes, I was just tidying up files on the computer when I stumbled across this short recording of a live set of me playing at one of the first Soul Damn Funky's with CJ Mackintosh back in April 2010.
I used to carry a Minidisc recorder with me and always recorded my live sets when I got the chance, I'm guessing this is so short as the Minidisc ran out as there was hours of recording time of the other DJ's who played before me.
Track list to follow:
U.S house meets deep bumpy house and to keep it interesting and eclectic I've even thrown in some mid nineties funky techno, not forgetting some classic house & garage.

This is another mix that I forgot about which has been sitting on my hard drive waiting to be found and it was a nice little surprise when I discovered it earlier today.
Theres a mixed bag of classics, soulful, deep, bumpy house, a little nu disco and garage.

Here’s a mix I recorded back in November 2007 which I’ve just rediscovered, I forgot what a great mix this is so decided it needs to be put back out there, its one of the most uplifting, funky, soulful selections of pure U.S house music.
When this mix was first recorded it was only available on CD’s which were given out at bars and clubs on the south coast, it was then added to my podcast site soon after and it was massively popular.
Since then lots of my other mixes have come along and this one has taken a back seat, the original podcast had no information or track list, so I’ve just been through the mix and track listed it to put it out there again for a new audience who missed it the first time.
