The August mix in recent years (excluding Covid) has become the Suncebeat mix as it's the first mix after the festival. This year marked the last time Suncebeat will be held in Croatia, or the Tisno Gardens at least. It was the fourteenth event which is incredible and shows the quality of the week long soulful house spectacular.
It was the quietest in terms of numbers that I've been to and this was my fifth one. What that meant though was the DJ/Punter ratio was awesome. Seemed everywhere you looked legends of the scene were connecting with everyone and were really accessible.
The highlights for me included meeting Martin Atjazz and Osunlade (both whom had a huge influence on the c2eMusic sound over the years), grabbing a picture with Osunlade, Spen and Rich Medina, catching up with The Journeymen, Joe Cox and Andy Ward and connecting with Danny T. I was also encouraged to see the youngsters representing, having met the Coughlan Brothers, Ryan and Jay, as well as Noah Herel (yes Ronnie's son) on the Deep Into Soul boat party.
I was lucky enough to then catch Noah put down a killer set for Mi-Soul later that night alongside his very proud dad. The pair smashed it with Noah only having a few months of DJing under his belt! Kenny Dope smashed it at the Olive Grove for Terry Hunter's Chosen Few night. It's funny I was always a Louie fan growing up, but more recently Kenny has blown me away everytime I've heard him. I think it says more about my own personal musical journey moving from the more soulful to a deeper more twisted sound. Not to be outdone, Spen put on his own night of magic at the Olive Grove with Dawn Tallman and Aaron K providing a performance to remember together at the end of the night. It was one of those "I was there" moments that you knew was special as it unfolded in front of you.
Biggest surprise were Analog Soul out of NY, playing on the Beach Stage on Friday night. I'd never come across them before but there set was amazing. The flow was great, but their tune selection was second to none, at least for my taste and preference anyway. They certainly found a new fan right here.
Back to the mix and I have to say it doesn't sound like a regular c2eMusic mix. It's very laid back and chill for the most part. I was worried it might not have enough energy but I can't sit still listening to it. It has a very grown up mature feel to it which feels alien to me (I am after all just a big 48 year old man-child in many ways).
I initially wasn't going to release this mix, some of the transitions aren't quite what I'd have liked and I couldn't find a track to end on that brings us back down safely! However, after listening through a couple of times it feels wrong to hold it back when the tunes themselves are cool af.

Midway through 2023 so no better reason to do a best of (so far). This podcast pulls from the last six mixes Jan-Jun cherry picking the some of my favourites so far this year. It's been a pretty good year for music so far, it wasn't easy choosing which tracks to play, although it was all done on the fly so it was dependent on the vibe and feel of the mix.
The chatroom was packed, soooo grateful to the regulars that join every fortnight. They absolutely influence the tracks I play.
Not much more to say about the mix, I mean you've heard all the tracks before and hopefully most of your favourites made it into the mix.
I'm off to Europe for the rest of July taking in nine cities in 17 days! Can't wait to catch up with family and friends, some of whom I have seen for over 17 years. One of the highlights of the trip is Suncebeat 14 which is confirmed as the last Croatia based Suncebeat. It's always such an amazing experience, soulful househeads from all over the world coming together to enjoy the sun, sounds and great company.
If you are going and you see me, come say hi.

Wow, where do we start with this little badger. It almost never happened due to some technical issues during the show. I had played around with the settings in Butt that week before and hadn't put them back. So for the first 50 minutes of the show everyone was listening to the mic on my Mac! Yes, they heard the music albeit grainy and muffled, but they also heard me singing, talking and carrying on like a loon while I worked through different transitions on the fly with my new tunes.
Thankfully it didn't affect the recording, so here we are.
This months mix is a real spread of sub-genres. We start off deep, I mean DEEP. Next came the Afro/Arabic beats on the way to the usual deep smooth UK stuff. The middle part of the mix sounds a nice drive through the countryside on a summers day. All is right in the world, windows down, feeling the breeze. Things then toughen up as you'd expect on this journey with some chunky monkeys, Milton Jackson the chunkiest monkey of them all. Groove Assassin's awesome remix of Hallelujah has been smashing up UK dance floors for a while now and for good reason. Set to be the sound of Summer 23 for sure.
Big shout to Ralph Session - on fire right now. Three of his latest releases feature in the mix, all very different.
Busy weekend for me playing vinyl with Klubhouse @ Camperdown Commons on Saturday 10th, followed by a warm up set for Honky Tonk @ Tatler on Sunday night. In between i'll be raving with Sydney's old skool crew at MoS Love & Sabotage.
Props to Chic Daddy DJ, DJ Nycks and Neens for input.

This is a special mix based around a set I played this month for Klubhouse at Tatler here in Sydney.
The vibe on the night was great, so much energy in the room. I played after Klubhouse founder Dante Rivera who gave e the perfect base to start from. Lauren Neko followed me singing live over the tracks she was mixing! Local legend Illya Cooper was next up and it was like he'd never been away, amazing to watch in action. The night was rounded out by another founder Jateen who is always on point. Hoping I get to do another one soon. Thanks for having me on guys, much appreciated.
That was only a one hour set (common set length in Aus), so the remainder is made up of new tracks.
This session was played and recorded live on Pressure Radio and again it went down very well with everyone in the chatroom.
Some big heavyweight tunes through this mix with a few distinct styles and sounds.

Hope everyone is well out there and you are finding the time to do the things that make you feel happy and fulfilled. I'm happy to say that I recently did so by flying over to Europe to attend this year's Suncebeat '22 festival in the beautiful Tisno, Croatia, followed by a trip back to the UK to visit family and friends.
This month's mix is a celebration of the music and vibes from the week-long party. This is the first time I've appreciated the people and connections as much as the music. It's an older crowd so refreshingly there isn't the ego you get on a typical night out, just happy friendly people with amazing life stories. Loved catching up with friends old and new, missing you all already!
The highlights for me were the excellent Deep Into Soul boat party with some of the UKs finest talent on display. The music they played really fired me up which I really needed. Another was Kenny Dope's kick-ass set at Barbarellas at 4am for two reasons. Firstly, the music was amazing, but I got to meet someone that has been listening to my mixes over the years and have chatted with online. We didn't recognise each other but were dancing near each other for over an hour! My friend got chatting to him and introduced me. He said he was Paul, I could hear he had a North American accent. I asked where he was from, he said "Canada". I asked if he was called "Paul F*" as I remembered talking to him a couple of months earlier online. That blew his mind!! He asked how I knew so I told him who I was - his reaction was priceless and something I'll never forget. We shared a BIG hug and took photos. It was a beautiful moment, a real connection with someone I have shared a virtual connection through our shared love of music. It's something I could never have imagined when all this began.
I couldn't wait to do this show, it's the most excited I've been in a looong time. I loved mixing it live on Pressure and I'm so happy with the result. I hope you come to love it as much as I do.
Finally a big shout to Andreas Hilden, who answered my cry for help and gave me some of my mixes that I have misplaced so I can restore the full c2eMusic collection on Podomatic.
Credit and thanks to Ben Brophy for the cover picture and for allowing me to use.
Please share the love and the music - let's make this world a better place one house mix at a time.

Continuing the nostalgic theme in 2022, my tenth anniversary on Pressure Radio. This weeks show was dedicated to 2011. No particular reason, although I was intrigued to hear what c2eMusic sounded like just before I went onto Pressure Radio. I always feel conscious of my sound on Pressure with the soulful house focus on the station. I personally feel I spill out across a whole bunch of sub genres which makes it difficult to describe to someone. During the show the further I stray from the soulful vibe the more nervous I get that someone will complain. As a result I don't feel my sound is as wild as in the pre-Pressure days. If I'm honest my most successful years in terms of downloads and podcast chart positions was pre-Pressure, so as you can imagine I am keen to rekindle that energy and diversity in my mixes again. Yes I may not be as popular on Pressure for the die hards, but I shouldn't let that limit me.
So here we are with a look back to the glory years...............
For those of you that have been on the journey since the early days I'd be interested to know what you think? Don't be shy, all feedback welcome.

This mix was recorded on my c2eMusic radio show on Pressure Radio on 23rd June. As the name suggests you may find the odd track or 23 that first appeared in a c2eMusic mix in 2010. Five specific mixes in fact - February 2010, May 2010, June 2010, July 2010 and August 2010 almost in that order!! Now let me clarify that again in case any nerds point out a discrepancy. The tracks in this mix first appeared in a c2eMusic mix in 2010. That doesn't mean they were first released in 2010........... There are however two non conformers to that rule. See if you can spot which ones they are.

Finally getting round to releasing recorded radio sessions from the past couple of months.
This is from the end of April but we'll call it May because it sounds cooler.
It's a mix of new tracks on the deeper side of the tracks. Again it was another on the fly job with tracks purchased an hour before the show and listened to for the first time with everyone else.
I'm still not back into full swing in that I'm not buying new stuff every month, certainly not enough for a new show. As a result you'll hear more mixes that have new and old stuff blended, or that start new and finish off old.
Special shout going out to Melbourne producers - some serious heat coming out of that city at the moment. Well and truly putting Australia on the map.

This mix is the first in a series celebrating my ten years on Pressure Radio.
I must admit I never imagined still being here ten years on, but as the old saying goes - "time flies.......".
I still remember my audition with John Matteo. It was a Sunday afternoon here in Sydney which meant Saturday night in NY where JM was playing live on Pressure.
He helped me with the configuration of the software used to stream and listened to me on a test stream. Then he announces over the mic that we have a new DJ to Pressure in Sydney Aus and he's gonna play live for us now!!!! I wasn't expecting that, my family were sitting around in the lounge where I had the music equipment at the time just chilling and watching TV. Next thing I'm cranking out the tunes trying to impress JM and the Pressure Fam. I remember JM messaging me asking what some of the tunes were, then jumping on the mic and losing it at what he was hearing. Safe to say it was a yes from him.
The rest as they say is history...
It's taken over seven years but Vol 3 of the Dirty Phunk series is now out. I can't say it was planned as I don't do that with music very often. This was recorded on the fly for the live Pressure Radio show on 23rd December. My original thought was a new Dave Lee mix and that's how thing started, however track three changed all that!
From then on in we were on a disco phunk ride through the archives. I tried to select tracks you may not have heard for a while and aren't that obvious but you know them.
Recorded at the end of 2021 this is the first release of 2022, so I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year. Here's hoping we all get to dance together in 2022. I'm aiming for Suncebeat in Croatia this year. Fingers crossed things line up.
In the meantime grab your flares and bellbottoms and throw some phunky shapes to this latest release.

Welcome to another crate digging session, recorded on the c2eMusic Radio Show on Pressure Radio on 9th December. It's a bit of a tale of two halves. The first being pretty chilled and soulful giving way to a bit more oomph in the second hour. The first hour has a very British feel from the Soulful House scene featuring producers like Rhemi, Sean McCabe, The Journey Men and Atjazz. The mix then crosses the pond for the second hour with a US centric sound.

1: C.9ine ft Kholi - Chasing Part 1 (Atjazz Mix)

Great being able to get an early release out for the December podcast. It's just down to when the radio show falls and it doesn't make sense to wait till the next show which takes us into mid December so here we are.
This mix is quite different to your traditional c2eMusic mix. It doesn't have the usual flow, the changes in energy levels and styles. This bad boy is just ON from the very first beat. A strong upbeat energy runs the whole length.
It's almost all new tracks - purchased literally 15 minutes before the show - I know you've heard me say this many a time. It certainly makes for an adrenaline packed show as I have no idea what the tracks do, so trying to craft some kind of direction is a real challenge.
I'm really happy with the result - the energy makes it perfect for the gym or a long run. Whilst it is a little chunkier than a typical c2eMusic mix it still has that rich warmth, swagger to the beats and lushness. That's a non-negotiable!
This Monday 29th Nov will see the return of the Argie Bargy Cartel to House Nation Live. Looking forward to throwing some tunes down with Karl Prinzen my partner in crime. We always have a good laugh and enjoy crate digging and reminiscing. It's on the chunkier side but still very much accessible. You can find us on Facebook live and Mixcloud Live. I'm likely to stream on c2eMusic stream on Mixcloud.
Would love for you to join us. In the meantime play/download this beauty and let me know what you think.

I'm starting to establish a pattern with my Pressure Radio shows now There are typically two a month, one featuring new releases and the latest sounds. The other is a crate digging session on the deep/soulful side.
This mix is an example of the latter. It's been a while since I did a mix just filled with big tune after big tune so I was excited to do another one.
I'm really happy with the way it went. Again it was all on the fly, feeding off the people in the chatroom, so hopefully you feel a part of this mix. Obviously I love all the tracks in this mix or I wouldn't have chosen them, but having heard it a couple of times now it is a special mix.
If you love your soulful vocal house then you should thoroughly enjoy this. The mix features all the big names from the scene, Vega, Knuckles, McCabe, Gum, Feliciano, Rhemi & Spen to name a few.
Would love to hear your feedback, is this your idea of classic soulful vocal or did I miss the mark.
Would also love to hear whereabouts in the world you are listening from and what your favourite mix is.

Recorded right at the end of October this mix was almost Oct Vol2. However just hours away from todays show and with no new music it makes more sense for to be the November mix.
Anyone following my Global Lounge Room Music on Mixcloud will recognise this mix. Essentially the GLRM mix was done on the fly and as a result it's not as tight as I would have liked. So I have almost redone it again here with a couple of changes towards the end.
I must admit it's taking me longer to get back into the swing of things after such a long time away. I still haven't got back into staying on top of new music. This mix is music I've bought through late September and October. It starts off on the deeper more chilled side but all that changes at the halfway mark. There are some serious heavyweight contenders in the latter part of the mix. ending with an all time classic.
On a separate note I am working to make my podcast Spotify compliant so I can host on there. That will be a great breakthrough and I can't wait to see it on there. I'll let you all know when it's up and available.
Lastly I spoke to Karl Prinzen this week, he is the other half of Argie Bargy Cartel, the pseudonym we play under on House Nation Live. We agreed to get back on air so watch this space for confirmation of dates and times. That will mean I have three projects on the go, each with a different musical slant.
In the meantime I hope you enjoy the latest instalment of c2eMusic.

This months mix should be called "Spotify 20/21" as it's made up of a bunch of tracks I've listened to over and over on the platform during the various lockdowns.
As a result the mix has a slightly different sound as I listened to a wider range of music while stuck at home.
Heads Up - I have another project that I release on Mixcloud called "Global Lounge Room Music".
It's a fortnightly session streamed on Mixcloud on Saturday night here in Sydney. I will over time make the mixes available here on Podo for download. In the meantime the only place to find them is on Mixcloud under my c2eMusic account.

This is a recording from Pressure Radio on 16th September. As I mentioned during the show with the radio show being fortnightly one week will be new tracks and the other a crate digging session.
Completely unplanned (as always) I found myself in the Nice 'N' Ripe folder containing all things UKG from back in the day.
Yes I know I've done a couple of NNR mixes before, but that was years ago now.
The mix still flows from the more chilled stuff through to HUGE bangers with a gentle come down at the end.
I will be releasing the recording of last weekends Global Lounge Room Music session which I do every fortnight on a Saturday. It started out as a live Zoom party to bring some fun to everyone stuck in lockdown. It also streams live on Mixcloud which is better for sound quality.

I'm finally back!!!! It's been a while, well over a year in fact. I moved into a penthouse in June 2020 with an amazing set up. It had two floors and the top floor had a really cool balcony over the lounge and uninterrupted views across the city to the Blue Mountains. There was a huge open space, wooden floor and big enough for 40/50 people to dance, I was so excited. There was just one problem - the walls were wafer thin and my only neighbour had his bedroom right next to the dancefloor!! DISASTER. So I was unable to mix for the following 12 months.
I had to move in July of this year as the owner wanted to sell, I was gutted as it was a beautiful place, but it meant I had a chance to get the music back online. I was lucky to find another two storey penthouse with a similar unbroken view across the city. However this one had a big walk in wardrobe in my bedroom capable of fitting my vinyl and DJ equipment in. It has a full floor to ceiling window with amazing views, but importantly it's on the opposite side of the apartment to my neighbour, and the walls are made of sturdy stuff. As a result I've been able to resume my residency on Pressure radio and even run a fortnightly Zoom/Mixcloud party on Saturday's to entertain those of us stuck in lockdown.
So here we are with the first release of a new era, maybe I should rename to c3eMusic :).
This mix is a recording from the last weeks Pressure Radio show. Big shouts and thanks to everyone that came and supported in the chatroom and on the outside via the player. It felt so good to be back and interacting with everyone.
To be honest I didn't listen to or buy any new music for the whole period I was offline. I never thought I'd ever say that. This show is full of mainly new music acquired over the two weeks prior to the show. I don't think it's quite as smooth or tight as past mixes, but the tunes are great so still worth publishing.
Fingers crossed we can go on another uninterrupted run for the next few years.
Massive thank you to everyone that takes the time to listen to this mix or downloads, I would fully understand if I had been forgotten about, so I'm very appreciative of your ongoing support.

This mix is from my Argie Bargy Cartel show for House Nation Live which streams live on FB alternating Mondays to the regular Pressure show.
This weeks show was always gonna be vinyl, I just didn't which vinyl. I landed on early 2000's because that's before the regular podcast started so there isn't much stuff from me back then.
Truth is I was making regular mixes and had a big stack of tapes. However my silly ass gave most of them away to a guy in Africa while on holiday there. He had never heard house music and I'll never forget his face as he was hearing the tunes for the first time. So I gave them to him thinking I would make them again when I got back to the UK. Yeah I know that was never gonna happen! So it's nice to have something recorded from that era as the music was excellent.
FB threw me off again of course, that's now standard. Good to see all the new streaming DJs getting the same treatment otherwise I would go mental.
Some crackers on this mix which ranges from 2000 to 2002. Hopefully they evoke great memories for you too.
Given everyone is working from home these days it would be great to see you in the chatrooms for Pressure or Argie Bargy.
In the meantime enjoy this mix and stay safe.

With the lockdown everyone is now a streaming/internet DJ. Will be interesting to see what comes out of this lockdown period musically. I'm certainly not complaining about the increased listener/viewer numbers with everyone working from home.
This weeks mix as always was a last minute decision in terms of theme. I'm not sure why but somehow I landed on 1995! Inspired by the excellent MAW Ministry release that. Heads will recognise some of the transitions.
Part way through the first hour I ran into a bit of trouble, every track I thought of turned out to be 1996!! So the second half sees us transition into music from 96.
It was also supposed to be Stateside or at least have that US House vibe, but towards the end I remembered early Nice and Ripe was from this same year so we see some of those tracks make an appearance.
Hopefully this is a nice trip down memory lane to a time when the thought of the planet going into lockdown for weeks and months sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Hope you are all managing to keep safe. Remember to look after those around you.
Since you are now at home, why not listen to the shows live? Join us in the chatroom.

This months mix is a guest mix on someone else's show!
I hosted the Underground Jack show last Saturday on D3EP Radio Network.
I wasn't able to play on Pressure the previous week, so this kinda made up for it.
With 30 minutes to go before the show I decided to go with "Re-Tide" as a theme. I grabbed all of their tracks and went for it. The result is an intense energy packed hour long mix.
The second hour I'm joined by another Sydney resident Mr Adrian Benedek from Fallen Disco. He blends a nice disco mix on the slightly more commercial side, sliding into Jackin' sounds towards the end. Altogether it makes for 2hrs of funky disco grooves.
For those of you that can't get enough (:)) - check out the You-Tube video of last weeks Argie Bargy Cartel Show streamed live on House Nation Live.

For the first time in a long time we have two releases in the same month! The last mix was a crate digging session. This time it's the fresh new sounds of 2020, with a dash of late 2019. This is actually attempt two for this mix. The first one was wrecked by my controller playing up and dropping the BPM on the right deck down to 121. I've been listening to the recording from that show for the last couple of weeks and decided it needed doing again without Mr Denon getting in the way. This version isn't exactly the same, you always find ways to improve.
A big shout has to go out to Sondrio and Mo' Funk, who I heard play B2B at S.A.S.H By Day in January warming up for Black Loops. The set blew my mind, crazy track selection and flow. I've never shazzamed so much in my life and luckily it actually worked this time!
There are a few of the tracks they played in this set including the awesome Projections by Henry Wu that almost had me in tears!
Things are actually warming up on the gig side here in Sydney:
- 23rd Feb - Anti Monday Club - Kings Cross Hotel (4-5pm)
- 7th March - Remedy - Chin-A-Lings (10:30+)
- 3rd April - Underground Jack - Oxford Underground (10-11:30)
Would be great to see those of you based in Sydney.

These are the most fun mixes to makes and hopefully you enjoy them too. No plan, just casting my net across the whole digital collection and seeing where we go.
It resulted some real gems from the past being unearthed. Nothing really obscure, just those tracks you used to listen to all the time maybe 15, 20 years ago. I was really proud I managed to double the number of listeners during the show, it's great when your show is like a sticky ball of honey. People come in and can't leave :)
This is definitely a sing along mix with a soulful heart. A good mix of producers from both sides of the pond.
With a bit of luck this is the first of two mixes this month with the second being the usual mix of new tracks.
This is the one you'll probably come back to again and again, especially if you listen to a lot of my mixes.

Firstly Happy New Year everyone. Hope this is a great year for you all and you managed to spend some quality time away from work with loved ones over the holidays.
2019 was a pretty barren year for mixes for me so I am very happy to be able to put out a mix to kick off the new decade and without it being a last minute rush.
That said it was a last minute rush starting the radio show that the recording comes from. 40 minutes to get home from the city, get changed, grab food, download new music, power up the systems and connect to the radio! But I managed it :)
As a result I wasn't expecting a podcastable show, ,especially as I had only bought nine new tracks. However I was pleasantly surprised as the mix unfolded. The more I hear it, the more I like it - so here we are.

It's been a long time since I released a mix of new music so I was pleased with the outcome of last Thursdays show.
As always, no idea what I would play or in what order. That's often what stops me releasing a mix as it doesn't always flow right, or some of the mixes don't work.
Thankfully this time things worked out well. It's a mix with three distinct sections. Firstly we have the deep mellow sounds to get us warmed up, before getting into a more traditional soulful section. That transitions into something a little thicker. Just as you start to wonder just how tough we are gonna go, up pops Sandy Rivera to commence our decent.
Christmas parties and kids holidays will interfere with December's shows but we will see if we can get something out there in time for Xmas.

Been away far too long. Lot's of travel kept me away from the decks for a number of months now which isn't ideal, but I am back now.
This release is from the live Pressure Radio show on the 17th October. It was my first show in a few week too and I fancied a challenge so I went all in on a vinyl show - on the fly of course :)
It starts off squarely with a UK Garage sound of the mid 90's and for a while it looks like this will be another UK Garage mix, but I figured it would be more fun to mix it up.
The second half of the mix is a real bag of tunes from across the years from the beautiful Romanthony's Ministry of Love to Sandy Rivera's Changes.
I've yet to buy new music so I'm hoping there is a ton of stuff for me to get my teeth into.
In the meantime get your chops around this one and thank you for your patience, this is one of the longest breaks I've had since first learning to spin way back when.

Last Pressure show before I head off to Europe for Suncebeat in Croatia. There was no new music this week, I just didn't have time to find enough.
The mix itself is very deep for me. I think I consciously wanted to have it this deep without knowing which tracks would be right.
The second half of the mix ended up being a homage to Germany's Lovebirds. What was meant to be the odd one or two ended up being the remainder of the show.
That's a good thing, a very good thing because his style and sound have been top class for most of the last ten years.
I'm sure I've said it before but if you see me at Sunce come and say "hi". I don't bite and would love to meet the people that listen and support. For those of you on the boat parties you will be able to find me up at the aft of the boat for the Conniousseurs, Diridim, Zanziboat, Basement Boys, Kaoz and Farewell parties.
Tracklisting:
So here we are then the third and final piece of the marathon session with Gary Ward. Bit of context required for this last session.
Firstly - we'd been playing for four hours already and it was by now 1am on a school night.
Secondly - Gary had been in the pub through the afternoon and turned up with a six pack of beer. Problem was I don't drink beer, so they were all Gary's. As you can imagine by 1am there weren't any beers left! Not to feel left behind - I mean it's important we are playing from the same head space. I made every effort to finish off the bottle of Mr Black that was in my cupboard.
So we weren't Drunk, but there was a bit of looseness.
You can hear it make an appearance more often in this last session. but don't let that put you off, we were playing one track each and had been for an hour. That gave us time to crate dig some huge tracks. We continued with the theme and moved from MAW to Kerri Chandler and finally Sandy Rivera.
The tanks were absolutely drained by the end of the set. But we had a mental time and are looking to do it all again.
Again tracklisting to come over time.
Enjoy!
Hopefully you've all had chance to sample Pt One of the marathon set with Gary Ward recorded live on Pressure Radio.
If not check it out here https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/c2emusic/episodes/2019-06-29T06_46_50-07_00
For everyone else that is up to date with their homework, here is your next assignment. Please turn to hours three and four and listening diligently, but have fun and feel free to leave your seat ad dance.
This is the section that transitions into a little MAW session via a Joey Negro doorway.
Enjoy!
This is part one of a three part set. It's an epic six hours in total! It was recorded live on Pressure Radio on 28th June from 9pm to 3am Sydney time.
It also features a special guest that I've been trying to get on the show since he moved to Sydney three years. I am talking about Brum's finest Gary Ward. Those of you that party in the Midlands may remember "Days Like This", "Über Nights" and more recently "Body People". All names synonymous with Gary.
This was the first time we had played together and I was curious to see how our styles would work together. As you will see the answer is very nicely indeed thank you. The people in the chatroom kept commenting on how well we played together which was great to hear.
I kicked the show off playing for the first 30 minutes and started with new tracks purchased that day. That said the opener is a HUGE classic that I only got my hands on that day!! Gary took over at the half hour mark and upped the tempo a little but the vibe was still flowing through. We swapped back again just past halfway through this pt1 mix where I played a more uptempo set to continue the energy Gary had created. The last half an hour Gary changes direction and we here a nice disco infused vibe.
Look out for parts two and three which include a monster MAW throw down.
Tracklisting to come - six hours is a lot to go through!!
Enjoy!
This is a release of a recent guest mix that I did for my good friend DJ Nycks here in Sydney for his monthly radio show Underground Jack on Grant Nelson's D3EP Radio out of London.
He had two guests on for this show, myself and Chico Flash. It's crazy because Nycks asked me to do it a couple of weeks after I bought my first Chico Flash track!!
Chico is up first and gets stuck straight into the back of the crate pulling out gems left, right and centre.
My mix has a real UK flava. It comes out firing and never really looks back. Very different to the usual c2eMusic flow you get in a mix. Hoping to be able to start a residency of my own on D3EP very soon where I will play a little tougher than the Pressure Radio sound.
Big thanks to Nycks for inviting me to be a part of his show.

This mix has been sitting on a shelf all month. Recorded on the 4th April but only being released on the 24th!
I had intended to do another mix in April which I thought would be the official podcast, but for one reason or another (Easter being one of them!) it hasn't happened.
This mix has some beautiful disco flavours, some underground UK vibes and some pretty chunky deep sounds all building on each other.
Have to call out Heat Alliance, I actually came across them in December and have been sitting on four little crackers that I picked up by them. They are all in this mix and sound great.
Also great to be able to play some fresh Crackazat releases. One of my favourite producers, so talented.
I launched a sister Mixcloud page for my other mixes on a deeper vibe - Argie Bargy Cartel which is myself along with long time Sydney househead Karl Prinzen of K-Life. We mix back to back three tracks each live on House Nation Live on alternating Mondays to the Pressure show which remains in its usual Thursday slot.

After three months away it's great to be back on Pressure. This is the come back show and I must admit I was a little rusty round the edges, but that's OK we're all friends :).
I hadn't even bought any new music during my time away, so when it came time to do the show it was the same old supermarket sweep around the aisles of Traxsource. Unfortunately I ran out of time before I could fill the trolley so we don't have a mix of completely new music but the majority of it is.
Some of the highlights on this mix include the excellent Crackazat remixes and the highly contagious Qubiko.
I should be back every fortnight now, same time same place although the upcoming clock changes mean I'll be back the good old lunchtime UK slot.
Don't forget to also check the fortnightly Argy Bargie show on House Nation Live available through Facebook. It's on alternating Mondays to the Pressure show, same time slot though.

YES we are finally back after being away for three months. It's probably the longest I've been away from music during my adult years but a combination of being ill and moving home proved too much.
This is a one man show this week with my partner in crime Karl Prinzen unavailable.
I hadn't even gotten round to doing a decent shop for tunes, so I already knew it wouldn't be an all new show for the return.
That said there are some great new tracks in here - as usual purchased ten minutes before the show is supposed to start.
It was a drama just getting on air - Facebook have put me on a beta version with a new capability called Creative Studio so I couldn't work out how to get on air!! Once that was sorted I then realised that whilst we'd been away Xander the station owner had changed all of the media - so I had to change all of the banners on the screens. As a result the show started an hour late.
I am so grateful for all the people that jumped on to watch and listen just minutes into the show, it was great to see given how long we have been away.
Facebook did their usual BS and killed the stream after an hour and then to rub salt complained about the last song I played on the mix which again is crap as it's underground garage from 2012!
We'll be back every other Monday from the 11th March on House Nation Live and I'll be back on Pressure Radio again every other Thursday from 21st March - I hope you can join me on one or both.

It's taken a while but I've finally managed to get my hands on the recording of my Pressure Cooker set from Andy Wards amazing Vocal Booth Weekender in Spain last September.
An amazing week with some seriously awesome househeads whose dedication is to be admired.
The set was on a Saturday afternoon and I was up against Aroop Roy which was a shame as I really wanted to hear his set :)
The set was put together on the flight from Sydney to Barcelona which was a whopping 23 hours. I've become very used to playing two hour sets which allow you to build nicely and take in all different sub genres at a leisurely pace.
This was a one hour set and in front of my peers who I respect and admire - so the pressure was on.
I really wanted to encapsulate my sound over the years which meant cramming in a whole range of styles - I ended up managing to pack in 18 tracks which meant I was busy throughout the mix, but the result is so worth it.
This is one of my favourite mixes, I am really proud of the outcome and so excited to be able to share it with you all.
I'll be doing it all over again this year in Spain so for those of you in Europe that have always wanted to hear me live, grab a ticket and head to Vocal Booth Weekender - we can chill and grab a Liquor 43!
I would really love your feedback on this one as so much effort went into making it happen - travelling across the world, hours of crate digging and a sweaty hardworking set!

First up - wishing you all a happy new year.
Nice to be able to release something on the first day of a new year. This is a recording of a live set I did back in November for a local classics night here in Sydney called Re-Loaded 90's Classics.
Being the 90's everything was on vinyl. I did the first two and a half hours, followed by a back to back session to finish off. Most DJs aspire to getting the main slot at a gig, but I prefer to play earlier and control the transitions and intensity build up of the night. Changing the feel of the room, the mood of the crowd. Getting people up and moving for the first time. Setting the expectation for the rest of the night.
You can hear that very clearly in this set. The first 45 mins is pretty chilled. The kind of stuff we used to hear in bars, or maybe the more soulful nights. The first few tracks are actually dominated by the Hamburg DJs Mousse T and Boris Dlugosh.
If you listen to just the first and last 30 minutes you would swear they are from different nights, but as the mix progresses it just keeps building and it all makes sense.
There are one or two fat finger moments, but it isn't often I play vinyl anymore. Hopefully it doesn't spoil your enjoyment as you take a trip back down memory lane to when house tracks really stood out.
Thanks to everyone that came on the night - I got a lot of energy from your reaction to the tunes. it was definitely a joint effort :)
Huge thanks to Marcus Stubbs for giving me the opportunity to play.

It's been a while since the last release, but I have moved house and it's taken a while to get the music room up and running again. I don't want to go too far between releases so I am going to release a mix from last year recorded on Pressure Radio. It was a celebration of the month of December and featured music I acquired during a December - any year. I think we go back to 2006, so over 11 year span.
This mix is the very definition of transition and flow. You will clearly hear a smooth flow through several sub genres, each building on the other until the eventual come down. This mix was done on the fly and has been sat in my Munted collection all year, but the more I listen to it the more I realise how much it needs to be shared so you can all enjoy as I do.
As the year draws to a close I'd like to thank everyone who continues to support by listening and downloading and especially to those that share and introduce others to the c2eMusic family and sound.
Whatever you get up to have a great Christmas and New Year and expect to see a lot more of me in 2019.
Peace & Love to you all

Another rare occasion when the new podcast comes out at the start of the month. I have always tried to ensure every track on every podcast is unique, only played once. I used to obsess about that, but these days I'm chillin' a little and accepting that it's OK for tunes to appear a couples of times in succession. For that reason last week's Pressure show has become the November Podcast. Half the tracks are brand new -purchased just minutes before the show. The rest is a fusion of the previous podcast with just one exception right at the end. Where last months podcast had a chunkier feel, this one is a couple of clicks down from that. A more rounded soulful, deep sound. Podomatic just reached out with a discount for plans, which makes the Broadcaster Pro doable. So I will upgrade to the top plan and then make every mix downloadable. Over 220 of them!! You may need to go and buy a new drive to store them on! I'll release them in batches so no one is overwhelmed. Back in the real world for those of you in Sydney I'll be playing vinyl classics next Saturday (10th Nov) at the Burdiken for RE_LOADED1990's - HOUSE & CLUB CLASSICS VOL 6. Then we are back for another Underground Jack at Goodbar on November 30th. Look out for more details on that one.

I'm really feeling this months mix. As per usual tracks were found and purchased same day as the show. Downloaded 15 minutes before the show, and heard through for the first time during the show. That can always go two ways, but I'm glad to say this one couldn't have gone any better.
The opening track is probably my favourite. It's been a while since I bought any Atjazz having supported heavily over the years. It was impossible to resist his mix of "Coltrane" though and it's one of those where the more you hear it the more you feel it.
There are 18 new tracks and I went through them like sand through your fingers. All gone in just 85 minutes!! The mix has a grown up deep flow to it with some nice transitions along the way. The last 35 minutes required some on the fly digital crate digging trying not to change the flow too much.
In other news I'm really proud to announce that I am one of D3EP Radio's newest DJs. Looking to play on Thursday's monthly from 11am-1pm UK time. Keep your eyes peeled for the launch date. I will be using it as a chance to go deeper and chunkier than my typical Pressure set, allowing me to play the more soulful stuff on Pressure Radio as I feel I've slipped to the deep end of the Pressure spectrum. So proud to get to play on the station of someone I've supported and been a HUGE fan of since 93!! Thanks Grant for giving me the opportunity.
I made my first Traxsource chart yesterday too. It's a top 10 and they all feature in this mix (you lucky sausages).
This is an easy way for you to support the artists and buy their work.

This September mix is from the last Pressure Radio show before I headed over to Spain to join the Pressure and Vocal Booth family in the sun.
It's one of the deepest mixes I've done in a while, really not a lot of soulful or vocal tracks in here. It does flow well, but doesn't have as broad a sound as usual. The latter half features some of the tracks I'll be selecting from for my set in the Pressure Cooker on the Saturday. Big thank you to those of you at VBW that came
along for a boogie to what was a very rare appearance behind the decks over in Europe.
The set was broadcast live from the Pressure Cooker via Pressure Radio. All off the Pressure Cooker sets were streamed live and will soon be available as podcasts on the VBW website and app.
It was an incredible week at VBW. Andy Ward and the team do an amazing job to create a very unique week long party. If you ever get the chance I thoroughly recommend. Met so many cool people that will be friends for a long time.
Also had the re-launch night for Underground Jack at Goodbar in Sydney on the day I got back from Spain. All DJs were on point (even me :)) and it was great to see that we didn't know any of the crowd for the last hour. All a younger crowd, that really got into it. There's hope yet!
Before anyone writes in - I know the accapella drop on the last track is a dogs breakfast. I had planned to fix up and will do at some point, but for now you can enjoy the other 1hr 55mins of music.

It's been a long time since we had a two volume release for a monthly podcast however here we are. This one was recorded on Pressure Radio on 16th August.
There are a good number of tracks from the Sunce Sessions mix, however the first part contains a load of quality new stuff which gives the mix a very different feel at the start.
Kudos again to Conrad Bool who gave me heads up on a couple of little beauties - 'Alva - The Wall' and 'Black Loops - French Affair' and the amazing 'Orange Tree Edits'. Unfortunately there was a blip in the recording which has cut a small chunk of Orange Tree Edits out :(. We'll get em next time!
Would be interested to know which of the two August mixes you prefer the most - please leave a comment to let me know.
I'm off to Vocal Booth Weekender in September this year, it will be my first time and I'm so excited to get to meet the other Pressure Radio DJs. Big thanks to Andy Ward for allowing me to play at such short notice. Fo those of you going I'll be playing in the Pressure Cooker on Saturday afternoon. If you've been listening to c2eMusic over the years and you're at VBW please come say hi, I'd love to finally meet you guys after all this time.
Finally it gives me great pleasure to announce that Underground Jack is back. Following a year off trying to secure the right venue we've come up trumps with Goodbar on Oxford St - it's even outside the lockout zone! First night is September 21st, the day I get back from VBW. I'll be joined by founder DJ Nycks and my HouseNation.live partner in crime Sydney's very own Karl Prinzen. We are going to put the Void 1 sound system to good use to bring you a sound unlike anything else you'll hear in Sydney. Looking to make this a bi-monthly event, as we aren't getting any younger. Hope you can come down to support the opening night.

August podcasts are extra special these days as they follow on from a July that sees me and thousands of others soaking up the magic that is Suncebeat in beautiful Croatia. I always come back buzzing with tunes I have to find, and so they invariably end up in the August podcast. It's like a little time capsule that invokes special memories every time you listen.
Always great catching up with people from all over the world both old and new. This year I met so many cool people from all over - Darren from Adelaide, Courtney from Atlanta, Francesca from DC, The Durham massive :) , Terri, Liyana and Triphina from London, Paulette from Nottingham, Pal Sorli from Norway and my Bajan brother from another Wayne and his partner Martine. This mix is for you guys and the good times had on the boat parties.
Musically the mix starts off on a warm deep tip with a couple of soulful drops along with the odd classic. Things toughen up with a mix of tunes that resonated with me at Suncebeat. The incredible 'Starz' dropped by Neil Pierce, 'Photon' played by Grant Nelson on the picnic boat, 'Pick Up' dropped by Karizma at Barbarellas and 'Revolution' and 'Someday' played by just about everyone!
As homage to those that couldn't make it this year we have 'Blues For You' for DC Wood from DC. Look forward to catching up next year instead.
I danced soooo much at Sunce this year and hopefully you will too listening to this mix.
A big shout goes to Caz B who reached out just after getting back from Sunce. it's so cool to meet people who feel the music as much as I do, such a shame we didn't meet at Sunce.
Lastly I have to thank Conrad Bool, he put me on to a few of the tracks in this mix. His musical knowledge is stuff of legend and he's a top bloke to boot. Snores like a Yeti but we won't hold that against him.
Credit for the cover goes to Foto Genix. The man with the cam.

This mix was recorded on my eldest son Bailey's birthday live on Pressure Radio. There was no real intention for it be become a podcast. However I've been listening to it ever since, and I like it. The flow isn't right as I'd only got hold of half the tracks an hour earlier. That doesn't stop this being a nice mix to get into though as the tracks themselves are great little movers.
Also since it's been a while since the last official podcast and with me now doing fortnightly radio shows it's best to get something out or you'll all think I've been kidnapped by aliens, or worse - EDM clubbers.
This mix has some serious teeth towards the end courtesy of some excellent work from Adesse Versions and Nachtbraker - wallop!
Off to Suncebeat next month in Croatia. Went last year and had a great time. Hopefully see some of you there.
If you do see me please come over and say hi. Would love to meet you guys.
Hopefully I get to hear some quality new stuff that I can bring back for another Sunce special mix.

This is the audio recording of the live Facebook stream from HouseNation.Live on 4th June. It was an impromptu Subliminal Records set. We both decided to play three tracks each back to back.
We played across three of the Subliminal sub labels - including Bambossa and Sondos. We ha d agreat laugh as it's rare to get to play vinyl these days and so it was a real trip down memory lane in more ways than one.
Catch the show live on HouseNation.Live page on facebook every other Monday (4th June, 18th June....)

Watch this space.... I just want to get it released for now!

This was the first and as it turned out only mix done in March. It happened right at the start of the month and was going to be a promo for a later March podcast. However several things happened during March that scuppered any best laid plans. Firstly we sold our house so everything was boxed up for the removalists. Once in the new house our ISP took four weeks to get us up and running. In the middle of all that we went to Thailand for a holiday for two weeks.
I've been listening to this mix ever since and whilst not perfect it has some great tunes and so is worthy of a share with you guys.
Mix opens with a track I heard on the recent Louie Vega session on Giles Petersons Worldwide FM. It doesn't really fit with the mix, but I don't care as I love it.
The rest of the mix is a combination of new tunes in March and leftovers from October last year. As a result both Crackazat and Adesse Versions dominate, but since they are both in such a rich vein of form that's a great thing.
Despite starting nice and chilled don't be fooled into a false sense of security - this mix buries it's foot to the floor midway through and doesn't let up.
I'm back on Pressure Radio every other Thursday (19th April onwards) and HouseNation.Live streaming on FB every other Monday starting 23rd April. Both start at 9pm Sydney time - 12pm UK. Hope you can catch me live on one of those and say hi, it's always appreciated.
Finally a big shout out to everyone listening in South Africa, I don't give you guys enough shouts so I apologise. I do appreciate when you reach out with stories of your friends all listening and looking forward to mixes.

This months marks 10 years on Podomatic! Could never have imagined I'd still be doing this when I first started posting mixes all that time ago. Huge thank you to everyone that has supported me over those 10 years. I still remember being blown away when the first people out there started to get in touch to say how much they loved the mixes. I am so proud of the global family that has grown with a shared loved of this sound.
Last podcast was Nov 17 so we've missed the last two months. Couldn't find time in the run up to Xmas to get a December mix out, which is a shame as there are some amazing tracks begging to be used.
As for this month it's a case of first time lucky. Tracks we're purchased on the day, less than an hour before the show so no time for prep.
It made for an exciting show for me as you don't know how it's gonna sound at all.
Luckily for me the flow was pretty good and there is a real sense of transition too to give the mix a direction.
First few tracks are lush soulful warm bass numbers, a mix of instrumentals and vocals. Next up we get a taste of some underground garage house. The last transition is to the new energy infused deep disco sounds coming out of Europe. The likes of Re-Tide, Moon Rocket, Funkatron - the Cut Rec label.
Mix ends with a classic - inspired after listening to an incredible podcast. Over five and a half hours of Louie Vega, Giles Peterson, Mark King (Level 42), Bluey from Incognito the awesome Jocelyn Brown and future star Zara McFarlane! If you're a serious house head their stories will make the hairs on your neck stand up. A rare gathering of true legends in their own right. Check out the Worldwide FM show on here.

Back to this mix, and it's nice to be able to publish the new mix for a month at the start of the month. All you need to do now is sit back and enjoy it.

This November podcast was unexpected. It's a recording of the Pressure Radio show from 9th November. I had bought a handful of new tunes that evening causing the show to start 30 minutes late, but it was worth it as it turned out.
It's a chunkier start than I expected - none of this was planned and I didn't really know what the new tracks sounded like beyond the clips you hear on Traxsource. Towards the end of the mix a few older gems are brought in to keep the intensity going.
Initially this was just another mix, but having listened to it a couple of times I think it's only fair to share with you guys, so here it is.
There may be another mix in November based on the original set of tracks I had in mind, but no promises.
Looking forward to starting a new regular event in Sydney at The Flinders with HouseNation.Live on Dec 8th - keep your eyes peeled for more details.
Remember I'm live on FB with HouseNation.Live every other Monday (20th Nov) as well as Pressure Radio every Thursday.

Had this mix ready for a few weeks but have been very busy so no time to publish. The mix shares a few tracks with the "Midwinter Madness" mix but contains a handful of newer tracks. Opens with a killer classic from 1992 - TC 1992 with "The Funk Is Back".
I have had to take the music room down as I'm selling the house so struggling to find time at the moment, however there are still some radio shows and FB streams going ahead.
Also looking to get involved in a new night here in Sydney to help breath some much needed life into a very stagnant city. The powers that be sure did a job this time - hopefully there are enough people out there that want to make a difference to help get it back on it's feet again.
A reminder you can catch me live every Thursday on PressureRadio - 10am to 12pm UK, 9pm to 11pm Sydney/Melbourne.

As the title suggests this is all things '08. The mix was recorded on Pressure Radio on September 21st 2017. I did a "Best Of 2008" mix in.....2008, but that was through the ears of my mate Burnsie who was big on his Yass and Spen at the time. I had my own favourites but never got round to recording it, so here we are. The mix starts off deep and stays there for a while. Marc Evans introduces a different vibe before we switch again for some "Afro Sounds" waaaay before Afro House was a "thing". We see things out with Spen, who was as prolific back then as he is now, as are many of the artists and producers in this mix. It's a hallmark of the quality your about to hear.
Remember to join me live every other week on Mondays (9 to 11pm Sydney) on FB with HouseNation.live. Simply go to the HouseNation.live page on FB and you can see and hear the live show - yep that's right I'll be doing a live video stream from c2e towers.

This mix makes it into the Munted series mainly because of the feedback during the show. I'd bought a dozen new tunes that day and was weaving them in. The flow worked really well and some of the tracks are class. You'll recognise some of them from the August podcast. Mix ends with another nod of appreciation for Lay-Far's excellent set on the Local Talk boat party at Suncebeat 8. Two of his last three tracks, but played in reverse order. "Inspector Norse" is just foot sliding madness - love it. You can enjoy the full set here:
Looking to do a fortnightly set on Monday's 9 to 11pm Sydney time on HouseNation.Live. I'll be streaming sound and visuals via their Facebook page. Just need to run a couple more tests so keep your eyes peeled.

Finally made the decision to finally get over to Europe for one of the big music festivals. This time is was the turn of Suncebeat 8 in Croatia. Having been a long time Southport Weekend regular while still living in the UK I knew the music and the people would be worth it.
The location is stunning and the main difference I found from SPW was the diversity of the crowd. Just in the taxi from the airport there was DC Wood from New Jersey travelling on his own, another guy who flew in from Jo'burg, another from Aberdeen and Amy who was midway through a six month holiday calling Bondi home. That set the tone for the week.
This mix is a blend of some of the tunes that rocked Suncebeat 8 and some of the new sounds about at the moment.
Tune of Suncebeat for me was Joeski - track 15 but you may have your own favourite. The opener was a cracking track put down by Lay-Far on the Local Talk boat, which for me was the best boat party. Intimate knowledgeable crowd and quality line-up.
Enjoy this small taste of what is a great way to enjoy fine music, sun and great company.
Thanks to all at Suncebeat for making this a thing every year. I will definitely be back.
Big shout to DC Wood, Alisdair, Brian, Conrad, Danny, Pete, Gemma, Leah, Debbie, Andy P, Daniela, Nat, Loucineh, Craig, Amy, Havard, Jamie, Rachael, Rick and the Blackpool crew and everyone else we partied with - thanks for the memories.

This mix has been sitting on the shelf all month. It was mixed on the 1st June and for one reason or another it's taken 25 days to release.
That said I was overseas for one week, but it's still leaves room for improvement.
This month we are dominated by Re-Tide from Rome and the Cut Records they frequently release on. If you aren't familiar with their sound you will be by the end of the mix.
I'm not buying as much new music at the moment, hopefully that's a temporary thing, but it does mean the mixes are slowing down.
The weekly radio show is still going strong and a big thanks to everyone that supports.
I'm also playing in Sydney on the 7th July @ Tatler for RAW #5 alongside George Kristopher, DJ Nycks and Dr Mendez. I'm wrapping the night up from 1:30 to 3am, entry is free - hope to see you there.
BTW - anyone name this city?

Another throwback mix that's on my playlist and gets a decent airing. Mixed in June 2017, but comprised of tracks from 2011. This mix tips it's hat the deeper chunkier sound and there were some absolute scorchers six years ago.
Don't be put off that it's not full of the latest tracks, there are future classics in here and as the old saying goes - don't knock it till you've tried it.

This mix was rescued from the flames of last weeks show. The gremlins attacked a couple of times, second being a big 10 minute bite out of the show. That killed the recording, so we only have just under 90 minutes.
The show was a throwback to ten years ago, which sounds like a long time, but then when you say 2007 strangely it doesn't.
I remember the tracks and what I was doing back when I first started playing them as though it was just last month. I'd imagine the same thing will happen to you when you listen.
The pace has picked back up again with the mixes after a stop start last 12 months or so. Not all of them are new music, but with over 30 years to choose from that's not a bad thing.
Thanks to those of you that reach out to show your support, hearing out of the blue that someone listens to your mixes all the time and has done for years is mind blowing, humbling and very inspirational. With the exception of a few regular listeners I really have no idea who actually listens out there, so stories like that make my week.
Anyway hope you all enjoy this little ten year time capsule.

This is a recording of the live radio show on Pressure Radio from Thursday 13th April and what a show it was too.
I was still downloading tunes when it was supposed to start and then my machine crashed!! So we were 40 minutes late getting going. However once the wheels were rolling there was no stopping us.
It was really busy on the outside all the way through the show which was great - thanks to everyone that tuned in.
The chat room was full of banter too courtesy of Ludi, Nicky, G and Joey.
As for the mix, it wound up being three and a half hours long. You see it was 11:30pm by the time I had done my two hours and by then the girls were well on their merry way and dancing round their respective abodes. They begged me to keep going and since it was good Friday the next day - why not!!
You can hear this in the mix as the peak is at the 1hr 50 mark. I started to slow it down to finish, but we then tagged another 90 minutes on, which was much more on the mellow. As a result there are a lot of BIG tunes in here from across the spectrum.
As for the name of the mix......well that comes from an interesting conversation in the chatroom during the latter part of the mix. I'll say no more.
Thanks to everyone involved in making this such a fun show.

This mix was done at the end of Feb this year to celebrate my fifth anniversary on Pressure Radio. It's a crazy thought, I mean I can genuinely see the me hitting play on the first track like it was yesterday.
Frank Ainsworth one of the residents was in the chatroom to make sure it went off without any issues.
I was so excited to play, I had so many ideas and so many great tracks I wanted to share with everyone.
It was a tough slot as with the timezone difference between Aus, Europe and the US someone was always going to suffer, and with work commitments it wasn't going to be me. That has meant the show is typically on too early for my US followers which is a shame.
It also means there is a fair bit of confusion twice a year as the clocks change and the show lunges backwards and forwards in the Northern Hemisphere.
Soon after starting I was joined by another Pressure newbie - my brotha' from anotha' DJ Kevin Anthony from Baltimore. We created a quality four hour back to back set. For such an obscure isolated slot we got a great following with numbers no different to peak time UK and US.
Over the years I've met some great people in the chatroom, Jules, Mandy, Pete YMAW, Big Pete, Dini, G, Steve, Leah LND, Murph, Ludi, Ben TBM, Cookie, Andrea, Nicky, and of course we can't forget all of the silent listeners on the outside.
The station has a warm family feel with everyone very supportive, and the talent.....the likes of Andy Ward, Jon Mateo, Pugweezer, Brew, Geoffrey C, Brother C, Sahara 247, DJ Arch, Biopic to name a few. All sharing the same passion for deep soulful house music.
Finally a HUGE shout out to the two people that make this all happen, Carol and DJP who run the show. Massive Kudos to their dedication all for the love, five years on I am still very grateful to have been the chance to call this place my home.

Just as my belief in the quality of tunes was starting to wain along came a set of beauties to put me straight again.
I love the diversity and build up in this mix and there are some real crackers along the way.
The first couple of tracks are deep, but in a warm n fuzzy way. We then switch into a burst of fun loving twisted electronic phunk. This style is so refreshing and I love being able to add it into the mix to diversify the sound.
The mix thickens up a little with Sebb Junior and continues through to the excellent KOT and Rhemi Dub of Sandy Rivera's infamous "Changes".
Have to mention DJ-Eclyps, have been a fan for a while and he delivers with "Give It To Me".
The mix lifts again for a more traditional soulful house sound before the heat kicks in.
It starts with a bit of Acid courtesy of MANIK, quickly followed by two of my favourite tracks from Georg Levin and Alex Herrera.
We are then well and truly in the thick of it with big tunes coming thick and fast.
Another shout to Jordan Grover who stepped up with "I've Had It With You".
Large continue on a roll with an excellent EP by Finest Wear. So much so that all three tracks are in the mix.
The mix cools down with the help of Lay-Far on "That Dub".
Hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed mixing it.
Finally thanks to everyone that helped me hit #2 on the Deep House chart.

This mix was recorded on Pressure Radio on 4th Feb and was a remake of an original concept from about a year ago.
It only features tracks released on the legendary Soulfuric label, including it’s sister labels – Trax and Deep.
The original version was a mix of vinyl and digital, whereas this mix is digital only meaning some of the older tracks are absent.
It’s probably a 50/50 split between the soulful sound of the first few years in the late 90’s and the latin infused flava through the 00’s.
There are definitely plans for a follow up as a few favs didn’t make it in due to being on vinyl.

1: Groove Addix ft Annette Taylor – Faith (DJ Spinna Galactic Soul Remix)

This marks the 200th release here on Podomatic. To celebrate we have a special mix that was recorded live on Pressure Radio in February 2017.
Continuing the legends series we head stateside for a producer whose sound has given the scene a real mature smooth vibe over the years, both as part of the legendary Blaze duo, and more recently as a solo producer.
It is of course Josh Milan who I was lucky enough to see/hear live in Sydney a few years back. His energy was infectious and he had the place singing, spinning, jumping and dancing all night.
There is a large repertoire of classics to choose from as well as future classics that will surely also stand the test of time.
Thanks for all of the incredible tunes you've given us over the years. Keep doing what you, your rich deep soulful sounds will always be welcome in the house of c2eMusic.

1: Mood II Swing - Can't Get Away (Blaze Mix)

This is the first new release in months, September was the last one. It's the longest I've gone between new releases since the dawn of time!
It's not like I haven't been playing. The c2eMusic Radio Show has been running every Thursday with the exception of the Christmas chaos break. Some of those mixes have made it out, more are waiting in the wings.
On top of that there is the new residency in Sydney at Underground Jack thanks to my friend and founder DJ Nycks.
This months mix is made up of music purchased between October and Jan. That said the tunes themselves go right back to the early-mid 90's courtesy of Victor Simonelli and Tommy Musto. This gives a section of the mix a real NY house vibe from 93/94.
The latter part sees the intensity build nicely with Demarkus Lewis contributing three tight deep tracks.
Tune of the mix though goes to a sixteen year old producer from a small town in Eastern England. "Beautiful World"by Jordon Grover (a.k.a. Jordan Troves) is a masterpiece in that classic UK garage sound with a modern edge. The vocal sample is instantly recognisable and perfect for the drops. I for one am excited at the thought of what else may come flying out of Lincoln courtesy of the young house head.
It will be my fifth anniversary on Pressure this month, time has flown, but looking at the podcast so many gems have been unearthed in that time. Hears to another five years of gem mining.

This is the second mix in the Underground Jack RAW series. It was recorded live on Pressure Radio on Jan 12th, the night before the live event at Tatler in Sydney.
It captures the vibe on the night perfectly and is a great advert for what your ears can expect to hear and the beat that will move your feet.
The radio show itself was pretty intense too. The chatroom was busy with rare appearances from Pressure's own John Mateo and Andy Ward.
It was 5am in NY when the show started and a couple of minutes in Mateo popped in. He was feeling the vibe so much he cranked his sound system up. Sure the neighbours were bouncing in their beds with the fat basslines and chunky beats.
If you're in Sydney or even Australia and can't keep your feet from tapping when you listen to this, then come down to the next event on 10th Feb at Tatler in Darlinghurst, Sydney. It's free entry, so no excuses :).
Join me and Dj Nycks as we serve up another dose of RAW........to move you on the dance-floor.

This is an all vinyl special recorded live on Pressure Radio on 10th November. It was a late start to the show as I had no idea what to play.
After a quick flick I came across the old Defected collection. The challenge was on, could I do a whole show.................you bet!
Was joined by Big Pete my mate from home for the second half of the mix. He was bouncing around the chatroom to the tunes encouraging me to keep turning the screw.
He's pestered me ever since to give him a copy of the mix and I've managed to put it off for almost a month!!
So here it is in all it's snap crackle 'n' popping glory. Hopefully Mr Dunmore doesn't take offence, but just in case, get your ears around it as soon as possible.

This is a special promo mix done on Pressure Radio on 17th November for the Underground Jack event held in Sydney the following Friday 18th called "Raw".
It marks the start of a new chapter with an upcoming residency from January at Sydney's legendary Tatler's in Darlinghurst.
It's a seamless flow across the sounds of the last 15 years in both digital and vinyl form. A fair few of the tracks were played on the night and got a great reaction from the fantastic crowd that turned up. All up it turned into a four and a half hour long set including some back 2 back action with Underground Jack's founder DJ Nycks.
Hopefully a sign of things to come here in Sydney, so to celebrate and get you in the mood for the next one, download this deep house bad boy and lose yourself in the music.

A mix that has evolved through the course of the month. We can think of it as 4/4/4. Four beats in a bar of four distinct styles, first one being that deep warm sound that gets us warmed up for what's to come. Second is the vocals into disco. Third is booty shakin' bouncing rumbling tunes topped off with chunky Chicago style house.
Special call out to Demarkus Lewis and Soledrifter who went toe to toe with three tracks each.
Two tracks of the month - firstly Lexa Hill with "Da Hood", pure sunshine energy.
Top of the pops has to go to Louie Vega's latest - Bourgie Bourgie. He truly is the king and long may he reign.
Please leave a comment if you enjoyed - which part of the mix moved you most? What were your top three tracks?
What didn't you like? All feedback is appreciated. Also feel free to like and share. Not you keeping this musical goodness to yourself :)

Adding another DJ to the c2eMusic hall of fame. Plenty of energy with this one as we head over to Baltimore to pay homage to Sean Spenser better known to you and me as DJ Spen.
Whether it’s the Jasper Street Co., Muthafunkaz, Deepah Ones, or just plain DJ Spen the results are the same. Take it to church pumpin’ rich chunky soulful house music.
He first crafted his trade at Basement Boys Records before stepping up to create Code Red. More recently he created one of the most prolific labels on the Soulful house scene – Quantize records.
His live sets always get the place rockin’ with an up beat chunky bounce.
This set was was put together on the fly and ideally I’d like to spend more time on the programming however the reaction during the show and listening to it a couple of times it’s well worth a release in it’s current form.
4 the love of house, 4 the love of beats, 4 the love of dance.

It was a case of third time lucky with this mix. Bought half of the tracks at the start of the month and enjoyed the mix but didn't have enough for two hours. Tried again mid month but didn't like the flow. Finally I bought some more new tracks at the end of the month and mixed this on the fly on my Pressure Radio show. Much happier with the result.
Some big tracks in here, highlights for me "Dust Devil", "Valentine's Groove", "Coming To You", "Strings" and "The Ascent".
Remember you can catch the show live on Pressure Radio every Thursday - 9 to 11pm Sydney, 12pm to 2pm London and 7am to 9am NYC.
This mix is available to stream on mixcloud.com/c2emusic and soundcloud.com/c2emusic.

Well that was a very long unplanned break between releases. Combination of a few things, slow buying new music in April and May, an increase in crate diggin’ session on Pressure and then a three week trip to the U.S. Anyway all that’s behind us now and to make up for it we have a real cracker of a mix. Bigger and chunkier right from the start with so many unreleased I was able to keep a good level of intensity all the way through, still building constantly of course, you know how we :).
Proud to be able to support the locals so it was a pleasure being able to drop one of the latest releases on Bobbin Head, run by Sydney’s Husky.
The show was recorded live on Pressure on 7th July in front of a rowdy crowd in the chatroom lots of good fun though.
For anyone in Sydney on the 23rd July come down and hear me play at Underground Jack in the Viper Room of the Burdiken. I’ll be warming up for Husky from Random Soul alongside DJ Nycks and Mark Simonds. It’s a vinyl only affair and I can’t wait to get crate diggin’ that those 90’s classics.Tracklisting:

New mixes have been very slow this year. Most recently I’ve been off air for over five weeks which hasn’t helped however this is now the first release of new music this year.
It’s a live recording from last week’s show on Pressure Radio and features brand new material right the way through.
Only purchased a couple of hours before the show it was great to hear the tracks for the first time during the show.
Highlights for me both from NY – DJ Romain and Lenny Fontana showing they are still bringing the heat.
Also in fine form is Kai Alce who top and tails the mix with some very lush vybes.
Finally for those of you in Sydney on May 7th, join me live at Oxford Hotel for Underground Jack. I’ll be joined by DJ Nycks and Mark Simonds.

C2eMusic - The Munted Sessions - Swing City by C2emusic on Mixcloud
This is the first in a series of releases from past Pressure Radio shows which for one reason or another didn't make the grade for an official c2eMusic podcast release.
This session paid homage to an all time favourite label from London - 'Swing City' established by the legend that is Grant Nelson.
It was recorded back on Nov 6th 2014. The first half is vinyl, with the later being digitally dominated. Few phat finger moments and me on the mic are what held this mix back.
I've noticed that Mixcloud is prevented from making this mix available in the US. For any US visitors use the little silver play button at the top of this post. Ignore the embedded Mixcloud player.

C2eMusic December 2015 by C2emusic on Mixcloud
Just in time for Xmas - the last mix of 2015. This has been the quietest year for podcasts since I started the whole thing waaaaaay back. Some months I've just been too busy, but some months I've struggled to find enough good stuff.
No one sound is killing it at the moment for me, so the mixes are a real blend of different styles, with the best of each being blended together to progressively take us on a genuine journey.
Top picks for me this month - "Keep Dancin", "Don't You Feel" and "Over Here".
Have a great Xmas and New Year what ever you get up to. Thanks for all of your support in 2015.
See you next year!

C2eMusic October 2015 by C2emusic on Mixcloud
This mix is a great advert for the diverse sound that house music has mutated into over the last 25+ years. That's helped with more than a few remixes, samples and originals from across the years.
We start off as always with a deeper sounds, although this time there's a heavy jazz flavour.
The sound pivots with an insane remix from Pezzner of "Candy Coated Perfection".
There is then a cluster of nods to the old days. I won't spoil it, you have to listen.
Producer of the month for me is Gilbert La Funk. Both tracks are magic, "New Dawn" just pipping.
The mix ends with the most chilled track I've probably ever played. It's short and sweet and very very deeeeep,
"Croydon Depot" is a great way to come down.

This months mix has been kinda ready for most of July. The bare bones were first played in early July and I spent most of the month listening to it on the way to and from work. It was finally recorded during the last show of the month, and if you live in California or Hawaii it was released in July :)
There are quite a few vocal tracks this month, in fact for the first time in a long time I bought more soulful house than deep house. It's a big mix with artists like Louie Vega, Spen, Joey Negro, Detroit Swindle, Glen Underground, Opolopo and Soledrifter.
We get a couple of very different sounding tracks in the middle. "Summer Vacation"by Lay-Far sounds pretty sparse, but has big punchy beats and crackin' synths. Meanwhile the track that follows is much more obscure. It sounds like something you could imagine being played at a traditional Mediterranean wedding with everyone up in a circle.
The latter part of the mix stays pretty civilised too. Still plenty to work a sweat up with, but no big beasties.
As the mix comes to a close we get a blast from the past, but with a twist. Hardrive "Deep Inside"is one of my favourites, but this is the lesser known release from 95 which opened the excellent MAW MOS Sessions album.
Tracklisting:
1: Dan Shake, Medlar - Walk

This is the recording from the Pressure Radio show on 18th June and to be honest it was only meant to test out the tracks for the first time, having purchased them a couple of hours prior. The flow needs re-arranging with a coupe of beefies appearing too soon.
That said I have listened to it a few times over the last few weeks and I still like it, so I thought I'd share it with you all. It ain't perfect and I am a perfectionist - hence the reason it's taken this long to decide to release.
Big contributors in this mix are The Checkup - my tip for the year proving to be correct - these guys get better with every release.
Let me know what you think - the more feedback I get the better the mixes will be. Which style do you prefer in the mix? Early deep? Mid smooth? Chunky Monkey? Chilled Come Down?

The core of this mix was played on Pressure Radio at the end of Feb. At the time I thought it would be released by the following weekend. Instead here we are on the last weekend in March. Time has flown this month that's for sure.
There are a few different styles in this months mix. We start off on the deep side with artists like Shur-I-Kan and Milton Jackson before moving into a chilled vocal section led by one of Sydney's finest "Yogi"- one half of Random Soul. It's great being able to play music by people you actually know and Yogi lives down the road.
For you lot on the top side - the Northerners (hemishpere that is) we have an early taste of summer courtesy of The Disclosure project. It's real top down cruise music. We follow that up with another gem from them in the form of "Piano Madness".
Speaking of playing tracks by people you know it also gives me great pride to drop a couple of tracks by Pressure radios very own John Mateo, one half of legendary Mateo & Matos. It comes via a recent release by Glasgow Underground celebrating releases from 97 to 07. It's a great purchase if your looking for something to spend your hard earned pennies on.
The mix switches again at this point into the bumping chugging deep European sound with some crackers - pick of the bunch being the inform Opolopo,
We up the tempo again for a more house thumping sound featuring an Oliver Dollar remix of "This Old House"for those that remember the orig back in the mid 00's. Mr Phillips sounds like Pressure's own Kevin Anthony. Cracks me up everytime!
One of my favourite bits of this mix are the two tracks that come in next - "Our Music" and "How You Feelin". I'm not a big fan of remixes of classics, but this time it's priceless. Trakheadz remix of "Our Music" is like marmite - you either love it or hate it. I am firmly in the Love camp.
As always we keep turning the screw as the mix progresses so it's into the chunky stuff for a few.
We round the mix out with a trip down memory lane for all those that remember Miguel Mig's timeless "Nude Dimensions"series. The track is from vol 3. and again acquired via the Glasgow Underground compilation. It's a great chill and watch the sunset track.
It's that time of year again when clocks change so look out for new show times for the weekly Thursday session on Pressure. We will move back to 12pm in UK over the next couple of weeks, so it goes back to the Lunchtime session for your summer.
Thanks to everyone that has supported and tuned in during the earlier 10am UK slot. Appreciate you risking getting caught head bopping at work :)
Oh in case you were wondering - this months cover are the headphones I use - AIAIAI tma-1 Fools Gold Edition. Great on the eye and the ear.

This was originally going to be the January release. It was mixed in on the 29th Jan, however I didn't get round to releasing it in time, and now here we are in Feb.
I think this mix has a slightly different feel to most - influenced by the sound of Large Music from the last 12 months. These guys have been releasing music out of Chicago for as long as I've been DJíng. There really aren't that many labels that have been so reliable for so long. The current sound of the deep side of Europe is spot on and hats off to Large for encapsulating it so well on the label.
Away from the music I am really enjoying this summer in Sydney. So many different beaches each with their own style and vybe it really is an incredible city. The cover picture is one of Sydney's lesser known beaches - do you know which one?
Another call out has to go to The Checkup. The Brussels based duo are Belgiums' answer to Detroit Swindle, or as I like to think Detroit Swindle meets Kyodai. They haven't been around long, first release dropping midway through 2014, but they are my big tip for 2015. I think these guys are going to kill it. To show you why I've got three tracks in this mix - two from the latest release on Large, and another from mid 2014. All are quality.
Starting to have a backlog of mix projects that I need to find time to get through. Last weeks Pressure radio show was an all Azuli vinyl affair. Then we have the Soulfuric, Subliminal, Swing City, UK Garage (the original sound of), and more recently Local Talk. So much great music but so little time.

Firstly I'd like to start by wishing my gorgeous wife Leah a happy birthday. This is a special mix that I put together for her birthday party. It's a whoppa at four and a half hours long. Since the usual mixes are two hours long and take you on a journey from the deeper stuff through tho the chunky you would lose energy if playing a couple back to back during a party. This mix certainly gets around that problem. Especially if your party goes for four and a half hours!
I was under strict instructions - lot's of uplifting vocals. This is very challenging on a number of fronts, firstly I don't play just vocal soulful house, I like a nice mix and love dubs. They were off limits for the most part. Secondly when dealing with so many rich vocal productions it's difficult to make a really tight mix, and lastly trying to pace yourself over such a long period and continuously increase the intensity levels without resorting to big main room dubs is not easy. As a result over 30 hours went into putting this together, lots of late nights - not helped by Traktor crashing and popping and cracking the day before the party.
The set got a road test during my last show on Pressure Radio which resulted in me going back to the drawing board for the last hour. Ironically I deviated from the script and played more of the stuff I like and the energy actually dropped, so I went back and adhered to the instructions and I'm glad I did.
We even have a track in here I've never played before with the classic K-Class mix of "Caught In The Middle".
There's not much else to say, too many tracks to comment on. Suffice to say if you like your soulful vocal house then this will put a smile on your face for a few hours.
Because of it's length even when reduced down to 192kps this monster will take up a bit more space on your phone or iPod but it's worth it.
Now you just need to get on the phone and get your friends round for party and pump this baby up.

Mixed on the last day of the month Live on Pressure Radio on a Sunday afternoon, it provided a rare opportunity for people in Nth an Sth America to listen live.
This months mix has more than it's fair share of tasties. A good blend of deep 'n' chilled, dirty funk, deep soulful and bouncing deep.
The last minute shopping on Craxsource was very rewarding. I knew before mixing it would sound great just because of the number of tracks that had me bopping when auditioning to buy.
Also nice to be able to play for Jon Mateo who was in the chatroom through the show. He auditioned me almost four years ago and really enjoys the more twisted side of c2e which I love playing.
Plenty of tracks in contention for tune of the month from 'Oldskud', 'Back Again', 'Killa', 'Spend Some Time', 'Au Shonk' and 'The X Track'. All very different and all very good.
DJ Spen has no fewer than three remixes in this months mix, well worth a mention as each has a different vybe.
I'm dedicating this mix to my youngest Dion was five years old this month. All of this c2eMusic stuff had been going long before he showed up, but he got in on the action featuring on the logo. He's the little one on the right and a great little dancer too.

Alright I know I missed the deadline this month. The mix was recorded in time during the last show of October on Pressure radio. It then required me to get it uploaded which is where it all fell apart. To be honest there is just too much going on at the moment. Having said that no-one will know any different by the end of the year.This set is definitely on the deeper side. Most sessions these days have a decent 20 to 30 minutes of deep, but this one is a little longer than most.There are a couple of great tracks from an artist I haven't heard of before - Bohdi. Both "Satisfaction"and "Imperfection"are a couple of crackers. Have to also call out the fact that this month's mix is top and tailed by Andy Hart with two belters in "The Same For Me" and "Merkin". My favourite part of the set is from Kyodai's "So Special" to Lay-Far's "Side 2 Side". Not much to sing along to this month. Still not feeling a lot of the traditional soulful stuff right now, hope that changes.
We have a brief nod back to the past with three tracks that either hail from 20+ years back or use samples from that time. See if you can spot which ones, not the hardest test you will have done recently :). We also have Harry Romero for a second month with "Get Down". He seems to have chilled recently and it's more like Harry of the old early Sublimnal days.
Will try not to be late with November's release. Still have to sort out a Soulfuric and Subliminal set too. Not enough time for all the projects stacking up.
Finally the clocks have changed so the radio show is now two hours earlier for the next few months.
That means it is now
9 to 11pm Sydney
10am to 12pm UK
Bit too early in the US!

It's a case of third time lucky with this months mix. The initial version was recorded on my Pressure Radio show at the start of September but I wasn't happy with the flow in the middle section. The second attempt I completely stuffed up the latter part by switching sub-genres away form the phunk sound which made it a bit too heavy for too long. So we find ourselves recording it just in time with the last show of the month. To be fair it has allowed for a couple of newcomers to be added and the mix sounds better for it.
This session is also dominated by some great work coming out of the West Coast of the US right now. Moulton Music are in a golden spell right now, old favourites of mine Chris Lum and Dave Harness breathing life into the scene. I can't get enough of pretty much everything they are putting out. That's reflected by the fact this mix has no fewer than four releases from the label. It was very nearly five, but we'll save that one for next month :)
The flow for this mix is quite simple, a couple of initial deep tracks, then into the vocal stuff early. The main part is phunk infused rolling into the UK sound. As always the last couple of tracks allow for the warm down and stretch required after a good dance around the lounge.
Have started to play with the old vinyl again more often having done a Soulfuric radio show the other week. It has me talking through it, which i don't want to release, but I do want to get a Soulfuric session out soon. Also looking to do an all Subliminal session on Pressure soon. Not the crazy stuff they ended up doing, but the early days. Those tunes are quality and maybe unknown to a few people.
For now though here is another 2 hours of deep soulful house to keep us going for a few weeks.

It takes a lot to make it into the c2eMusic Legends hall of fame. I've listened to house music for well over half my life now and would be lost without it. During that time I've lost count of the number of artists I've bought and supported. Anyone can easily reel off dozens of famous producers in the scene. However I am always in favour of diversity during a set and this is what makes it tricky.
Sure it's easy to put together a diverse sounding set every month, sometimes every week if you can draw from every available track out there, allowing you to start off in one place and then embark on a journey.
However if you restrict yourself to just one artist it narrows the field down considerably. There are a huge number of artists out there that have produced a truckful of quality classics over the years, but you would struggle to listen to them back to back for TWO hours!
That for me is what puts Nick Moss aka Groove Assassin into this top class of producers. As it stands he sits shoulder to shoulder with the MAW, Joey Negro and Mr V all of whom have served up more than enough diverse quality to create a session dedicated to their sound.
The fact Nick hails from the city of Steel - Sheffield makes it even more of a treat. I spent my university years there in the mid 90's at the same time Nick was starting out in the scene. As a result we were both exposed to the same sounds and experiences in the many great nights Sheffield and the surrounding cities had at the time. Maybe this is what draws me to his sound so much. I wish I could say I remember hearing him play back in the day, I'm sure I must have as we partied in the same places, but it's a while back and the old grey matter has a few holes in it!
However I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon with him on Sydney harbour a few years back to help celebrate Sean Doyle's birthday. He even dropped 'Deep Inside' into Elements of Life's 'Into My Life'. Lost on most people, but it's the same mix I did in the MAW Vol1 Legends mix. Suffice to say I got HUGE goosebumps. Hearing that in the sun on a boat in the harbour from a legend, hard to top.
Nick was also a resident DJ on Pressure Radio appearing alongside the likes of DJ Erv, John Mateo and the crew.
He is no stranger to c2eMusic either - just looking at the podcast he's mentioned no fewer than 70 times over the years! Yes that's right 70!
As for the tunes themselves, well where do you start?! From the sultry sound of 'Soul Tie' through the jazzy flow of 'Afternoon Delight' to the depths of 'Closer' the quality is off the hook.
Then we wade in with the heavy weights, 'We Shall Overcome', 'Soul Mutha' and 'Heaven'. The fact the three are mixed together is going to have me playing this over and over and over.
I've said it many times before 'Heaven'has pretty much got to be my all time favourite tack of all time. Yes - that is a HUGE statement to make, but when preparing the mix I actually had tears rolling down my cheeks when listening to main section of the track. A full seven years on and it still brings out emotions no other track over the years has.
It doesn't stop there though, we put our foot down and bring out the chunky muthas including 'Perfect Love'and 'Smile'.
We slow things down on the exit with more examples of his stunning vocal productions with 'Closer'and 'Feeling You' both with the unmistakable voice of Kenny Bobien.
The last track like so many is another Dub. Nick for me is the king of Dubs and I love me a good Dub.
I'm not talented enough to make house music, as much as I would love to. That doesn't bother me though when you have producers like Nick. He captures everything I want to hear in deep soulful house and so consistantly.
As is always the case when doing a mix like this people will say - what about this track or that track. Well Nick is showing no signs of slowing down, and neither am I. So that means we have a Vol2 to look forward to. :)
From all the listeners of c2eMusic around the world - we thank you Nick for all the great music you have graced us with so far. Long may it continue!

You can't keep a good mix down, despite my internet providers best efforts. Everything was ready to go, the weekly Pressure Radio show was underway and listeners were joining to hear the new mix for August. Optus my provider then decided it would be fun to mash up my connection over the next two hours at least. I couldn't even log on to FB to let people know why I couldn't play. Suffice to say I am now looking for a more reliable provider. So the mix was put on ice. The next opportunity to play on the radio and record the result was Saturday afternoon my time. I checked and the airwaves were free. John Mateo was in the chatroom but it was very late in NYC. Midway through JM needed to hit the sack, it was 4am over there to be fair, so I played a little game to see how many more tracks I could make him stay up to listen to! He is one of the biggest house heads I know.
By the time the show ended most of Europe had woken up, so a few listeners form the UK and Denmark jumped into the chatroom which was cool.
It has then taken a few more days to get it published. You see I have a week off in between jobs and whilst I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible, a kid free 48 hour break with my beautiful wife in Melbourne was never a fair contest.
So here we are, finally a bit of downtime to allow me to get this little badger out.
There are probably four distinct styles in this mix, the usual deep and sultry openers including the excellent "Swear Down"", into the cheeky chappy UK style featuring Grant Nelson, Opolopo and Danny J Lewis to name a few. A couple of prime slices of meat towards the end with "So Yeah"and "Going Down" and then the most delicious of deserts courtesy of The Sunchasers and Recloose. I have a sweet tooth which means the last track on this mix is my favourite. Huge respect to Recloose for making a track so spine tingling. I can't stop playing it, and whenever I do I have to stop whatever I'm doing to take it in.
Other big artists on here include Alex Agore, a very busy producer who is in great form right now. The Sunchasers are also new to me, but I'm sure glad to have finally found them. Scott Watson infuses a very sexy smooth deep sound of which we'll be hearing a lot more of. Remember the artist names are links to purchase any of the tracks that catch your ear. Support the artists in the scene, otherwise we have a lot of white noise on our players :)
Keep your eyes and ears out for the upcoming Groove Assassin special. Still putting it together but there are so many great tracks. Really looking forward to this. It will be the fifth addition to the "Legends" series, which already includes MAW, Joey Negro and Mr V.
Oh finally, don't be surprised to find yourself walking around shouting "Mizz Honey"- you'll see what I mean.

New mix for July, and for a change it's actually released towards the start of the month it represents! As for the image this month, some of you may know I am a huge trifle fan which like this months mix is full of ingredients that taste great on their own, but when mixed together - mmm mmm - delicious. Main difference is that this mix can be consumed as often as you like with no fear of adding pounds to your rear :)
I was going to describe this as a pretty chilled mix as the opening 30 minutes is deep "n" chilled whilst the last 30 minutes are soulful "n" smooth. However in between we have a mix of uptempo discofried goodies alongside some great thigh slapping Baltimore infused house. Yep there's that trifle metaphor again.
There are a few nuggets in here that put a spring in your step and a smile on your face. First up is "Pom" a track from late last year, which I only got my hands on last month. I love that style of house, whatever it's sub-sub-genre is called. It comes under "Deep House" but that means anything and everything these days.
Another cracker is actually a Jackin House track, which I rarely venture into, but "Baker's Dozen" is so damn catchy. I don't want to like it as much as I do, as the lyrics were annoying at first, but now I sing along at the top of my voice!
"Shuga" a track towards the end has a drop that reminds me of an old Michael Jackson track. I can't put my finger on which one, and I know it's not a sample of that track, but man it is bugging me like mad. If you guys can hear it too, please put me out of my misery. A comment on the podcast, or FB group with your thoughts.
Lastly we have a couple of tracks that are top drawer in their own right but when fused together reminds me of an old Louie Vega style mix from way back. Their discovery was accidental during the live show on Pressure. I didn't fade "Final Call" out waiting to see what happened and I'm glad I didn't. Really happy with the result.
And that as they say is that - another month another mix. I know June hasn't been released yet but it is almost ready. Mind you been saying that for the last 5 weeks :) I've listened to this mix a couple of times now, and it makes me happy which is what it's all about. Hope you get the same sensation when you have a listen.
Finally check out the live show on Pressure Radio on July 24th - 9pm - 11pm Sydney, 12pm to 2pm UK, 7am to 9am EST. I'll be joined by my favourite Sydney DJ and good friend Nick Vidal. He is Mr Consistency with a great deep soulful driving rolling sound and I'm looking forward to feeding from that vibe.

When the original Dirty Phunk show was put together over two years ago now I remember thinking how many tracks didn't make it in, and a follow up would be just around the corner. How time flies.
The crazy thing is Dirty Phunk 2 started off on the way home on the bus just 4 hours before the show as a panic to not having anything ready.
I started looking through folders for tracks of a disco/funk house style. It didn't take long to find a good solid 30 candidates, but the flow had to be improvised on the fly during the show.
The show itself was a whole lot of fun. It had been SPW the weekend before , not just any old SPW - but the BIG 50 and there seemed to be a whole load of sore footed dancers out there listening. There was a nice buzz in the chatroom too.
It's always fun trying to do a themed show and the disco sound is always a popular choice - it just puts a smile on your face.
Big thanks to everyone that tuned in during the show, and for the interactions on FB and in chat, made it a fun night/afternoon/morning depending on where you were.
There are some real firecrackers in this mix. The most dominant producer as you would expect is Dave Lee. Only fair really as he is the undisputed king of this style of house.
Hopefully it won't take another two years until the next disco infused house mix, but who knows, the years are flying by at the moment.
So go dust off those platforms, get your glitter ball hung up in the lounge and get Phunky.

This months show gets up to speed fairly quickly but has a nice long gentle come down.
It's a mix of deep sounds to start with followed by a couple of very lush vocal productions before some gentle UK vybes.
We then build with a combination of new tracks and older ones from earlier this year that have yet to feature in a podcast.
The tail on this thing is long and pretty chilled to give you chance to return to normality.
Stand out tracks for me on this podcast include Ürban Renewal", "Kattflickan", "Monkey Wrench"and Love Games" but I'm sure you'll have your own.
Shouts to Jules who joins us here on Pressure Radio at 6pm UK time on Thursdays. Jules has been a regular in the chatroom almost since the start. Great to see her part of the Pressure family.
Also a big shout to Kevin Anthony who used to follow my show every week. He was in the chatroom this week going through his music collection by seeing if he had what I was playing. He had 95% but I'm glad to have found the odd track he didn't have :P .
May is birthday month in the Haynes house. First up is my not so little boy Bailey, the original star on the c2e logo. He turns 7 on 17th May. Yes this podcast has been going that long!
Then it's my birthday at the end of May. I'll be adding another candle to my 30 something cake! That will mean I've been mixing music for 20 years. I reckon I'm passed the half way mark, but far from done.
To all those heading to SPW - have a great time, and a cheeky boogie for me please :)

I debated whether to release this mix, but the reality is I am struggling to find the time these days. The lack of a release in March is proof of that. Again I had a show that nearly hit the mark and I planned to re-record with a few changes, but before you knew it March was gone.
So I am going to put out the first show of April from Pressure radio. Another reason for doing so is that although this won't go down as one of the smoothest flowing podcasts, it does pack one hell of a punch in terms of the quality of the tunes.
Detroit Swindle are featured no fewer than three time, and it could have easily been more. If you haven't checked out their new album "Boxed Out" then make it a priority TODAY.
Other HUGE stand out tracks include the incredible Simeon Belle's "Take Me Over". This had the chatroom bouncing and had me sweating, even with the new air con fitted to the music room!
Demarkus Lewis is another producer that is bringing the deeeeep heat right now. Often known for his Jackin sound he would appear to have thickened up the stock and the result is devastating. We have two tracks from him, and they are both well worth waiting for.
Lastly we pay tribute to the late and unbelievably great Frankie Knuckles. Anyone into house is likely to have had at least one Frankie inspired moment such was the great man's influence.
Regular listeners will know that his Director's Cut releases with Eric Kupper have been a firm favourite here, and it leaves you feeling he has gone too soon as he had hit full stride.
I've played this mix a few times now and the fact that it makes me want to listen again is reason enough to share it with you all.
Will be looking to get back to some sort of normal service again in May. In the meantime - crank this mutha UP!
Finally with the clock changes up top and down below the show is now back to it's UK summer time of 12pm to 2pm. It will continue to be 9pm to 11pm in Sydney, and there is now no excuse for those of you on the east coast of the US and Canada not to tune in for breakfast.

Initially this month's podcast was looking like being a very mellow chilled affair. The tracks being purchased seemed to be on the deep side, the kind you would find in the early part of a mix. Don't ask me how, but the result is something very different (speeding up predominantly 122BPM tracks to 124 might have something to do with it.)
The mix has a real bounce through it. The first hour is full of great head nodding, foot tapping tunes. The second hour starts to thicken up, but just when you think it might go nuts up pops the genius that is Dave Lee with a track that changes the direction again.
I finally got the chance to play a track (well part of it) from the excellent Joey Negro Defected release from 2005. See if you can spot it, it's not in for long.
There was a surprise for everyone towards the end, myself included when the bass kicked in on "Find Your Light". A track with the longest remix name I think I've ever seen, answers on a postcard please if you know of a longer one .
The mix ends with a classic from the early 90's . No attempt made to mix it in. I've tried once before and it sounded rubbish! The voice is unmistakable and it brings back so many great memories.
Not sure whether the guys at Local Talk will give me a high five or slapped wrist as we have no fewer than 4 tracks from the inform label. Great work guys.
Great to see everyone in the chatroom again this week, especially BabacarD who was up early in the US to have a listen. Appreciate your support guys.
Thanks to everyone that has reached out with feedback and messages on Twitter, FB, the Podcast comments or c2eMusic posts. Always nice to hear from people around the world, at least I know people are listening and hopefully enjoying :).

So here we are first mix of 2014 and first up I'd like to say "Happy New Year" everyone, hope you all had a great break with friends and family.
January is usually a barren time for music and understandably so, I mean everyone needs down time and house music producers are no different.
In addition I'm very conscious of the strong UK Garage vybe that has flowed through most c2eMusic mixes in 2013. Don't get me wrong I love the sound, it takes me back to some great times back in the 90's where it all started, however variety really is a key ingredient in a c2eMusic mix which is evident if you go back through the archives. With this in mind I spent a fair bit of time trying to find a varied collection of sounds and styles to keep things interesting. The task is then to thread them together in a way that makes sense and flows effortlessly, and that is no five minute job believe me.
The goal was to create something with the same feel as the old podcasts from 2007 to 2011, but using new tracks and I am really pleased with the result.
Stand out track for me is the outstanding Pablo Martinez mix of "Get On Your Feet" but there plenty of other choice cuts to enjoy.
In the old c2eMusic style there is a bit of something for everyone in here, which keeps the mix interesting for the full 2hrs.
I think 2014 may only see a Monthly release on the podcasts. Other radio show recordings from the weekly show on Pressure can be found on the c2eMusic website, but they will be a blend of the old and new.
The radio show is still going strong so if you find yourself with a couple of hours free on a Thursday (night in Sydney, morning in UK) please tune in or even better jump into chat.
Thanks for everyone's support in 2013 it was a tough end to the year but I appreciate the messages of support. I hope to be able to bring music of the same quality as this mix throughout 2014 regardless of the styles used.
Again if you know of someone who needs a dose of warm smooth bass infused deep soulful house be sure to point them in this direction :)
Also don't be shy with the feedback. Is this mix the kind of thing you want to hear more of? What works for you and what doesn't? Which is your favourite track?
You can either leave a comment or send a message on the c2eMusic facebook page.
Finally - big hugs and kisses to my beautiful wife who's birthday was earlier this month. She then went on to celebrate with a luxury all inclusive week away at the local hospital in A&E and ICU! Not quite the start to the year we had in mind, but all is well now. Huge thank you for giving me the space to do this every week. It does take up a big chunk of time and I've been doing it for years now................I love you sooo much it makes my brain hurt.

Yeah I know - November Mix, but it's almost Christmas. Well it should have been released over three weeks ago, and to be fair in a couple of months time anyone visiting the podcast won't know any different! This mix was originally going to be a full two hours of new music, however five minutes into the show I saw a post on Facebook from Andy Ward saying he was tuned in. Yikes - pressure was on (no pun intended!), needed to put in a solid performance .
The first ten tracks are new, well they were a few weeks back. The opening three provided a rare chance to string one of my favourite sounds together. Max Graef really encapsulates that sound - yes I need to speed them all up a wee bit as they are intended to be played down at 118 BPM. I love the result though, the beats have a rolling jazzy feel and the synths and vibes and right up my alley.
Big call out to Rhemi (aka - Neil Pierce & Ziggy Funk) who are on a great roll right now - so much so we have two tracks back to back. The Rhemi boys spearheaded an impromptu British invasion. Every track with one exception comes from a different UK producer and we pulled no punches either. Grant Nelson, Dave Lee, Ross Couch, Sean McCabe, Nick Moss, Richard Earnshaw, Danny J Lewis, Piers Kirwan and of course we couldn't leave out Andy Ward. These guys are the Bentleys, Astons and Jags of the house scene. I've been playing this mix on my phone for weeks whilst waiting to get around to releasing it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
For those that can - I hope you are able to join me for the live radio show every Thursday - 10am to 12pm UK on www.pressureradio.com
I'd like to wish everyone a great Christmas - and thanks for your support in 2013- look forward to sharing some sweet deep soulful house with you all in 2014 and beyond.....

You may have noticed that there haven't been many c2eMusic podcasts released over the last few weeks. Initially it was due to work commitments, but more recently it was life chucking a grenade, the kind that makes you stop in your tracks and rethink, well pretty much everything. As a result there hasn't been much room in my tiny brain for music, even though listening to it keeps me sane.
There is a big silver lining and I can't wait for the next chapter in life to unfold, as the title of the mix suggests what is most important to me has always been right before my eyes. Leah, my wife is the most beautiful and amazing person and I have been so lucky to have had her in my life for over 20 years. I can't wait to experience what the next 20 years have in store with her by my side. I know this podcast is all about music, but it is my podcast so if I want to tell my wife how much she means to me and how much I love her, then I will :)
As you can imagine I haven't bought all that much music recently, but there is enough good stuff for just over 90 minutes of goodness. Remembering back before Pressure there was only a monthly release of 80 minutes!
This is a mix of two halves, the first being on the deep and soulful tip, and the latter on the chunky side. There are a couple of favs in here for me, first being the Jill Scott Accapella over "Walberswick", I can still see myself jumping around with a huge smile on my face when i first played them together the other night. The other is what must be a c2eMusic exclusive - "Keep On Running" is originally a 111 BPM track which I've locked the key and sped up to 124! I can't get enough of it, if you hear it somewhere else, they nicked it from this mix.......that's my claim anyway!!
We end with a classic from back in the day, but with a twist.
Not sure when the next mix will be, possibly just another monthly in November but I can't make any promises, so you best make the most of this one! Thanks to everyone for your continued support, especially when the music isn't exactly flowing out the door as per usual.

The title is no reflection of the show itself, more the time of year, more recently one of my favourite times of year.
Having lived on the top side most of my life along with most of you guys, I am still adjusting to life down under being out of sync with the majority when it comes to the seasons.
It means that I have to watch you guys enjoying those great late light summer nights, BBQs with friends and all the outdoor music events, while I am wearing an extra layer to keep warm down here.
However all that changes about now as the sunshine makes it's way back down South. It's about this time you feel a buzz in the city as people sense summer is just around the corner (if you live in Australia of course!).
So when I listen to this mix it makes me think of the beach, BBQs and warm evenings down the park with my two boys. Given people listen to this all over the world it will mean something different to everyone, but that's what is so great about music. It helps capture your memories of a great spring, or autumn which can be relived simply by sitting back and pressing play.
As for the show it is dominated by new tracks, but we do have a couple of old gems towards the end.
The opener "Airglow Fires" is one of my favs, exactly where I like to be right now. Same with the third track "Amber Express" which has that old MCDE Raw Cuts sound, I love that stuff.
There is a layer of more soulful vocal stuff next with the Brits coming up trumps with the likes of Sean McCabe, Neil Pierce, Ziggy Funk, Richard Earnshaw.
We then add a bit of bounce and again I have to call out Ross Couch who has delivered with his latest E.P. "Closer". So good we have all three tracks in the show.
Towards the end we see a couple of old favourites pop in with Deepstar's "Sugar" and a couple from the Sunburst Band.
Great to see the regulars in the chatroom again, and to see feedback on Facebook during the show. Your support keeps me hungry to keep hunting down those nuggets to bring to you all.
Finally a big thank you to the producers out there. In a digital world where it isn't easy to earn a living these days I'm sure I speak on behalf of all listeners out there in thanking you for your continued drive to create such great house music for us all to enjoy. Long may it continue.
To all those heading to VBW in Spain have a great time and a big sweaty boogie for me. To say I'm jealous would be.....well you know.

This week's show was off then on again. Resulted in another last minute trolley dash (don't they all?!)
Some great stuff about on the soulful tip right now, anchored by the excellent Nathan Adams release on Tribe. It gives this mix a classic c2eMusic feel from a few years back. There is a nice mix of different styles through the mix as it transitions and builds.
The opening stuff is really lush and deep like a nice fresh deep steaming bath. The vocals that then build on that continue with that warm bass courtesy of the production skills of Louie Vega and Sean McCabe.
The mix ups a notch with the in form Rhemi (Neil Pierce & Ziggy Funk) who you can tell through their music are having a whale of a time right now. We continue to thicken the stew ever so gently one track at a time.
Then out of nowhere comes the most incredible drop - "Keep On Drinkin'". I'll be honest it sounds really familiar but I don't know what it's from....can anyone help me on that? Big thanks to Frank Soto for putting me onto it during his show on Pressure the other day. Another highlight for me in the show was when I dropped Byrdman's Revenge - the Rhythm Masters mix from 2004. Wasn't sure whether anyone would remember it, I used to play it to death. Luckily the chatroom felt the same way as me, and I'm pretty sure we all made some shapes and threw some moves down, wherever we were.
There's just time for a gentle rub down with a thick warm towel after that.
Just don't forget to wipe around the bath after the water has drained!

This week's show is named after the most featured artist in the set - Joss Moog. His recent EP Late Nite Beats has so much sizzle that we have 4 tracks from it in the show - very impressive. Big thanks to fellow Pressure resident Sahara 247 for the heads up on "Big Mike" and Mr Paul Grooves - who played after me last week and opened my ears to a few of the tracks in here including - "In Detroit", "Running", "Ministry Of Love" and "Wonder". "Pirate" Paul shouted when I dropped those tunes this week.........."Ahoy, me Hearties!!"
The number of Pressure listeners has increased significantly these last few weeks. I'd like to think that's down to the quality of music the residents play - bringing you the best in Deep & Soulful house music. Whatever the reason we'd like to say a BIG thank you for your continued support and for choosing us to provide the ear candy for your daily musical fix.

Yep that's right not just smooth but Kojak smooth - but don't go expecting much phunk - we only have one Dave Lee track in here.
This week's show was moved to Friday as people were telling me they couldn't get access to the stream. I also couldn't see whether I was streaming or not, so best option was to postpone.
Big thanks to Leah and Jules for keeping me company in the chatroom on the Friday.
The mix opens with some serious pitch action. The first two tracks are originally 114 and 119 BPM - ever so gently squished up to 124! Gives them a different feel and I for one like it.
The mix flows from deep to smooth, with a healthy dollop of deepness. The vocals then kick in with "Closer", "Lucky" and "Let's Stay Home".
The tempo picks up and gets all Phunky courtesy of Dave Lee with his excellent mix of "Love Today". We get a cheeky Chicago slap from Cajmere on "Feel It" before getting all grown up and jazzy with Tob, Der B-r. Sean McCabe keeps things bouncin' along before the first of three (yes three!) tracks from the inform Ross Couch. Not often every track from an EP get's rinsed in the same set these days, but it would have been rude not to, and besides I couldn't decide on which one to play, so why not play them all. The mix takes on that new electronic sound with Audiowhores and Richard Earnshaw on remix duty. We then have the first of two blasts from the past, "You Took My Lovin" is a spring chicken at 19 years old. One of the original NNR releases and very different sounding to the rest of the releases on the label. The pensioner title though goes to Mr Monday's "Future" a favourite of mine harking back to 1990 - yes that's 23 years old. Old enough to have gone to Uni and have the degree in "Top Shelf Choonage" that it deserves. The mix ends with a new track from Deetron that I couldn't decide where to place in the mix, but I think it sounds at home switching off the lights and sending you all on your way.
If Kojak were still fighting crime today you'd like to think he'd be blasting this out of his old brown 1974 Buick Century Regal with the magnetic red light flashing away while booting it round the streets of NY kicking ass, sucking his trusty lollipop and admiring his smooth shiny barnet....."who loves ya baby?"

It's about that time to have a look back at 2013 so far. As expected quality soulful house releases haven't been that plentiful following the trend of recent years. In contrast it's been a good year so far on the deep side helped by the many young producers adding to the scene. The likes of James Dexter, Evan Iff, Detroit Swindle, Kyodai and Dale Howard. In addition established producers have come into great form too with the likes of Ross Couch & Danny J Lewis producing tune after tune. Add to that the bankers - Sean McCabe, Nick Moss, Shur-I-Kan, Richard Earnshaw with the Spiritchaser releases and it's been a pretty good year so far.
This mix highlights the chunkier side. The soulful round up is more likely to come at the end of the year.

This is the mix that nearly got away. Recorded live on Pressure during the crazy week when I had the house to myself. I'd wanted to play a disco/funky sounding house set and as you'll hear started off well, but was easily distracted! The crowning glory comes at the end when we sign off with not one, not two but five big old classic tunes.
From memory I was joined in the chatroom by Kevin Anthony over in Baltimore. in fact I blame him for making me stray from the disco/funk sound. He always brings out the chunky tunes in me. We do pull it back three quarters of the way through with the help of Dave Lee - who else.
Anyway I have meaning to release this for a while and pretty much forgot all about it.
The prompt came from Simon Bowden who asked for something new to listen to for Suncebeat. So here we are!
Since the intention was a disco/funk sounding mix I have to give a massive shout out to Dave Griffiths over in Fort Lauderdale. I know he loves this sound. Look forward to catching up next year in the US.

This is one for the deep heads with plenty of b-line and very little singing with a huge UK undercurrent.
Some show's are like projects and very well planned, some are done with a direction and feel in mind, others are spur of the moment but with tunes that I'm familiar with. This session is non of the above. Made up as we go along with tracks I don't know. Very risky as the mix could take a change for the worse and lose momentum in just one track. That's what I fully expected to happen this week, the tunes I had bought didn't have any solid stand out tracks you could build a mix around. I was worried (my wife can confirm!)
It resulted in a very different sounding c2eMusic mix, one that starts deep, gets deeper, stays deep and ends on a crazy chilled deep tip. No transition to the vocals, just DEEEEEP with a bit of deepness on the side :).
Again maybe it's the influence of the people in the chatroom, Laurie, Paul G, Kev, BG, Jules, Mandy T that kept it on this vybe. They were enjoying and giving great feedback, so we kept cracking on.
Have to call out Ross Couch & Nick Moss - they've figured in the last few shows. It's not a conscious decision but they are on FIRE so impossible not to play at least one of their tracks these days. Good on ya fellas long may it continue. The same goes for Dave Lee and Sean McCabe but this week they didn't figure purely because of where the show was going. True legends of the scene and a big influence on my sound and style.
There is a monster of a tune in here towards the end, I won't say which one, not hard for you to work it out but it sure got the chatroom bouncing.
For those that like their "Detroit Swindle", Kyodai bouncy chunky deep house sound this set is for you.
For the rest of you, this one is best consumed with the lights out and the volume turned up. Just watch those bass bins...........I'm tellin ya!

Named after the accapella drop early in the mix - always sounds great and especially over the deepness.
This show is a condensed version of the one I did as part of the Soulful Saturday cover the previous weekend while the Pressure family celebrated 10 years. It was also Andy Wards birthday so double celebration. Would love to have gone, but that is the sacrifice you make when you move to the other side of the world.
The opener to this week's show comes courtesy of Henrique Pirai, a Producer/Dj based in beautiful Rio. Appreciate you sending me your work to be able to share with the c2eMusic family.
Another fun chatroom this week, good to see Bob back in there along with Laurie here in Sydney and we had a late appearance from JeffVaz escaping the heat of the Spanish sun.
The show went down well with everyone so hopefully you'll enjoy it too.
Just past the halfway point in the year so maybe it's time for a recap of tracks that smashed it in the first half.
Keep your eyes peeled for that one.

Yep I sure had plenty of it when this show was recorded. It is the regular slot c2eMusic show, but with no kids to put to bed I started 45 minutes earlier.
Was keen to pull together some of my favourite deep tracks on the more chilled side for this show. It features artists like Lovebirds, Shur-I-Kan, Milton Jackson and Frank Roger.
It is also the first live show using Traktor. Must admit the quality of the effects are impressive.
Time is title of the show and applicable as we span a fair bit of it through the mix.

This is a release of the recording of the show from 3rd June which was a Sunday. Following on from DJ Arch on pressure the bar had been set high as always by the very talented Arch. It was just after midnight on the Eastern seaboard in the US, Europe was pretty much asleep, and it was the middle of the afternoon in Sydney.
Since the listeners in the chatroom were mainly from the US, with the exception of Dini who never seems to sleep over in the UK, it felt right to stay chilled.
The result was either a chilled late night session for those in the US, or a relaxing Sunday Session for those in Australia.
There are some truly stunning soulful house tracks in this mix as I tried hard to entertain Philly Dave who was hanging in chat, and Stiletto who was locked on the outside and giving feedback via Facebook. As I've said before the shows are a reflection of the interaction with listening while on air - so it pays to listen live and give feedback.
The highlight for me is at 40 minutes when we get three Monsters from the last 12 months - Shea, KOT & Aaries.
Has inspired a very likely 80 minute version of the Sunday Session to further concentrate the sound.
Was great hanging with DavePhilly in the chatroom - appreciated the fact he stayed up until 3am to listen to the music.

This was an impromptu set recorded on my birthday. I had spent the morning with my beautiful wife and kids before dropping them at the airport. Got back home at 3pm - the Pressure airwaves were free, so what better way to spend your birthday than playing house music :)
Almost three hours later a new deep house session had been created.
Had fun hanging in chat with Dangsta and Dini. Whenever those guys are around you know what the result will be. They always bring out the deepness in me :)
This is the first of a set of marathon sessions on Pressure. With me being in the house all alone I have time to spend my evening on the airwaves. Keep an eye out over the coming weeks as the recorded shows make their way to the podcast.

This weeks show falls between two birthdays in my family - my eldest son Bailey who turned six and my good self who turned 30 something.....
So this session is a pressie to the two of us.
This show builds on the good foundation of the previous week. A bit more thought went into the direction and flow and I think it sounds better for it.
I actually went shopping in the "House" aisle on Traxsource too which you can clearly hear towards the end of the mix. A break from the usual deep n soulful sound but not too dissimilar to the sound of some of the older Podcasts before the scene became so fragmented.
Big four hour show next Wednesday (29th May) live on Pressure. I'll be spinning along side a couple of good friends who are local DJs in Sydney. We all have our own unique style and sound and I'm excited at the thought of what we might cook up for you all. It starts at 7pm Sydney time, so that's 10am in the UK. Hope you can join us for this one off.
You can catch the show live at www.pressureradio.com - would be great if you can join us in the chatroom too www.pressureradio.com/chatroom
As always keep up to date by visiting the official c2eMusic website - not all mixes make it to the podcast.

The last few mixes with the exception of the recent Pure V have been deep and chunky so I felt it was time to add a spoonful of mellow. The result is the Duvet Session which has a much more soulful feel. It was another last minute trolley dash around the music supermarket just before the show. This time however I forgot to hit record during the show, so we had to come back and do it all again the following night.
As this mix shows - there may not be the same quantity on the soulful house scene, but the quality is still top drawer.
Have to call out the Deep City Soul boys who have three remixes in here. Great work fellas - you're on fire right now.
The last third of the mix has a nice warm bounce to it thanks to Ross Couch and Danny J Lewis. We finish up with a track that is sped up from 114 to 124 but still sounds great.
As you'll hear this is definitely a mix to listen to while you curl up with a warm cuppa in your duvet on a Sunday morning. A rare glimpse of my softer side.

This was a seat of pants show - to the point of still downloading tracks 15 minutes before the start. The new stuff being downloaded was on the deeper early show side, but had no real feel for what the tracks actually did.
As a result the mix started with a BANG. Don't think anyone was expecting such a punch especially me!
With the odd exception the tracks are mainly from the last few weeks and where possible I've tried to play ones that haven't featured in a show before.
There was debate in the chatroom around Spiritchasers mix of KOTs - "Fall For You". I'm not special enough to have it yet, so I did the next best thing and dropped Spiritchasers mix of DJ Dealer's "Let Me Live" followed by Sandy's classic mix of "Fall For You". Who said we we don't do requests :)
We then skip through a couple of different styles - soulful vocal in the form of Ian Friday's mix of "Tonite" followed by a few disco, funk infused tracks.
It's then back to business with the deep style leading to a brief trip to the bassment with Kyodai.
Proof I didn't use all of my Mr V tracks up last week we have another from the maestro.
Wasn't sure how to end the show and was leaning towards Atjazz mix of "Where Did You Go" - however up popped his more recent mix "Perfectly" by the Layabouts and again Shea Soul.
This track had yet to be played in a mix, so problem solved.
Had fun as always with the Thursday c2e Pressure crew, joined by Dini & Dangsta in the chatroom.
All up very pleased with how the show went. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did during the show.

This is the 151st Podcast release. Mind blowing, took ages to get to 100 but the last 50 have flown by. Long journey for those that have been there from the beginning. Listening back there have been many different styles and influences reflected in the mixes and I look forward to continuing on this musical journey with you all.
To mark this milestone we have a special show as we pay homage to one of NYC finest contributors to house music - Victor Font, better known as Mr V - head honcho of Sole Channel music.
Recently rediscovered some of the now classic releases over the years and have been dropping them into mixes. The guys in the chatroom commented on how they were loving the vybe, so I thought why not make a show dedicated to the sound.
An untouchable skill for producing the smoothest sounding house around. You can tell a Mr V remix or production instantly, whether it's the rolling beats, warm soothing bassline or silky synths. I think of it as V house - it rolls along effortlessly as if on rails gently rocking you as it goes, while the world passes by.
As you can imagine he has worked with many great vocalists through the years which gives us an added bonus to the mix.
Mr V we salute you for your outstanding contribution to house music, it wouldn't be the same without you - keep doing what it is that you do.

So named because we have a real mix of styles in here and it is just so damn tasty, I mean no extra dressing required tasty, and the freshness of the produce...... Once again big up them farmers.
Another show of almost only new tracks with the only exception being the last track, which you have to listen right to the end for, wait till your iPod stops, don't guess it's finished or you'll miss it :)
With all the clocks having changed around the world now the show starts later in the Northern Hemispere and the effect has been great. More people able to listen in both in the chatroom and on the outside.
The mix goes through a number of transitions, or if we are sticking with our salad theme flavours.
First up is the smooth deep sound that underpins the whole mix - the lettuce if you like.
Fair to say there is a lot of lettuce in this salad :) almost 40 minutes worth, don't worry though there are a few varieties to entertain your palette.
We then have a good wedge of vocal sounds - adding the soulful edge to what would otherwise just be a deep salad - you know tomatoes, onion and the basics - no cheese though - you won't find cheese in a c2e salad!
I ended up adding more than originally planned, but we were cooking on the fly and it tasted good.
There are then the herbs and spices which sit between the vocals and the meat (no one said this was a veg salad). They are the transition tracks that bind the whole mix together.
Into that we add the meat, and plenty of it. Very lean medium rare thinly sliced and seriously tasty.
It has flavours you won't tire of. I made it last night and it's still tasting great next day, and I've eaten two portions back to back!
Hope you can join me next week (Thursday's 12pm to 2pm UK time) in the musical kitchen. No ingredients or recipe yet, let's see what we can whip up together.
Big thanks to everyone that tuned in and to the Thursday morning Pressure family who hang in the chatroom, always a pleasure.
Now go grab those salad tongs and get stuck in. Seconds are compusory :)

It's been over seven years since I said goodbye to the motherland and headed down under. It's only when you leave somewhere that you fully appreciate everything you loved about it. For me that's a mix of smooth pothole free roads, and an unrivaled love of house music spanning over 25 years.
This is the first time I have done a mix that celebrates the creative dynamos that live on the windy wet rock we know as the UK. I've tried to represent a mix from the deep to the soulful and of course the sound created there - UK garage. I've also tried to be strict and only use tracks where the producer and remixer are from the UK. In the majority of cases this also includes any vocalists, but a few non UK singers slipped through!
The mix is overflowing with talent featuring on the production side the likes of Atjazz, Jimpster, Richard Earnshaw, The Layabouts, Groove Assassin, Sean McCabe, Phil Asher, DJ Garphie, Souldynamic, Jazzloungerz, Conan Liquid, Danism, Ziggy Funk, Shur-I-Kan, Milton Jackson, Reel People, Irfan Rainy and a host of other talented Brits. There are also the vocal talents of Omar, Shea, Taliwa, Zara McFarlane, Deon Nathan and Portia Monique
This is only the first of what is likely to be a long running series as there is so much quality to choose from both past and present. So yes I know legends like Grant Nelson, Dave Lee and co are missing here, but that is just going to push me to get a follow up out sooner than later. It goes without saying a Stars & Stripes series is also on it's way, as well as Continental (Europe) and SA sets. A NY and London city series may even be on the cards, watch this space.
Not that anyone noticed (including me!) but I have been playing on Pressure for over a year now (23rd Feb 2012). Would have been nice to have a special 1 yr anniversary show - but that will have to wait until the second year anniversary now. In that time I've met some great like minded people in the chatroom who come in every week. Also been welcomed into the Pressure family by Carol, Paul and all of the Pressure DJs and I'm very grateful for that.So here's to another year......at least on the Pressure airwaves.

Great show this week - the week had flown by and no time or thought had gone into any themes or ideas as to what to play. Then at lunchtime I decided to have a quick look on Traxsource, not expecting to achieve much. To my surprise it was a very fruitful session and after just 45 minutes I had a decent looking basket.
Tracks were purchased and downloaded around tea time, and in the hour leading up to the show I was only getting a first decent listen to them, but again only snippets.
It made for an exciting show for me as I had heard enough to know it was going to be tasty.
Then midway through the show Wally Walton another Pressure resident and one half of Soulfunktion jumped in the chatroom. He reminded me of a track he had shared earlier in the week, so I played it. As a result he sent another couple of tracks to me that he and Brian "Keys" Tharme had produced. Next thing you know Brian is in the chatroom too, so I played another of their new tracks "Underground Language".
All up the show went much better than I could have ever imagined given all tracks were practically unknown to me a mere 6 hours previous.
Hope you enjoy the end result as much I as enjoyed putting it down.
This should take your mind off the fact your not in Miami (well it works for me!)

This weeks show had a deeper mellow vibe for the most part. An Africa Deep sound that then headed over to NY in the form of Mr V who posted back 2 back 2 back tracks. His unmistakable smooth rolling sound epitomises the first hour of the show.
Big fan of Kyodai so it's no suprise to hear a couple of their tracks in the mix, again back to back.
It's then time for some vocal tracks to be added into the mix. Director's cut continue their fine form with their remix of The Layabouts' "Bring Me Joy".
Another producer on a great roll is Piers Kirwan. His current sound is similar to Spiritchaser but with a bit more edge.
The mix starts to toughen up as we move into UK Garage territory. Have to give a big shout to Andy Ward for the heads up on the insane "Beggin It". Heard it on his show a couple of weeks back and couldn't stop dancing round the room - even though I was trying to iron shirts for work at the time.
The mix really toughens up at this point with a couple of tracks from Tuccillo among others.
We sign off with a classic from way back in the day. They don't come much bigger.
Thanks to the Thursday morning ladies crew in the chatroom - Leah, Jules and Mandy. We've had Kev Anthony back to back for a couple of weeks now, so if you miss your Thursday four hour Sydney to Baltimore session make sure to tune in next week. Same time, same place - Pressure Radio - 10am GMT.

Had nothing planned whatsoever for this weeks show. Up until a couple of hours before it was touch and go as to whether the show would be live from Jay-J's new residency in Sydney, so in my naivety I left my Traxsource cart unpurchased! Luckily it turned out well with a big bumper show packed full of things that tickle my fancy.
Since it was spur of the moment the direction of the mix was very much driven by the feedback in the chat room during the show. Leah the late night dancer loves her dirty bass, and Neale down here in Aus reacted every time I dropped a twisted UK style deep house track. Also lucky to have Kevin Anthony jump on straight after for a flashback to the old Sydney 2 Baltimore sessions of 2012.
Clocks are starting to change around the globe. Not 100% sure what that will mean for listeners on the top side of the planet - depends on whether I move my show time down here to accommodate, but I'll keep you posted. Remember to keep checking the official c2eMusic website as recordings from shows appear there a week before they hit Podomatic (if they get a release on here at all).
Thanks again to everyone that tunes in every week, or downloads the show on here. Please give feedback on the direction the show is heading in music wise. Always good to hear your thoughts or any ideas you have for future shows (love a good theme and programming challenge :))

This weeks show had a lot to live up to following last week marathon live show from Jay-Js birthday party at the Civic Underground in Sydney.
Had a busy and action packed chatroom this week led by Leah the "Late Night Dancer". Never a dull moment when she's in there.
The show featured mostly new stuff although the latter part was a healthy mix of new and recent deep chunky bouncing pumping tracks.
Also great to have Kevin Anthony from Baltimore jump on after the show for a flashback to the back to back sessions that were a regular on a Thursday in 2012.
Thanks to Anne (Sahara 247) for putting me onto Azuni 's Nightshifter. As always big thanks to Erv and Andy Ward for early glimpses on some of the other tracks.
In case you hadn't noticed I'm becoming a bit of a Detroit Swindle fan :)

Close call with this weeks show. Ran out of bandwidth in Jan, it didn't reset until a few hours after the show. Even bought a 4G Mobile dongle to broadcast with, but that was like trying to pass an Elephant through a drinking straw. So fingers crossed hooked the shaped internet up and it worked a treat!
This weeks show was two hours of Latin house both as an attempt to warm everyone in the Northern hemisphere up and also to celebrate Shaun Cowards birthday. If his claims to his current age stack up he is the youngest person to ever graduate from Sheffield Hallam University. More likely that he's forgotten about ten of the years he's spent on this planet.
Anyway back to the mix and as you can imagine with this being Latin house most of the tracks range from the mid 00's primarily 2005 to 2010.
I have already mixed c2e Latin House 4 which is an 80 min mix reflecting the first half of this show. Keep an eye out for it on the c2emusic.Podomatic.com site.
Thanks to the silent listeners and those in the chatroom for sharing a few Mojito moments.

The name says it all. Spent last week in the UK and it was cold. Even had snow on several days there. Enjoyed catching up with family & friends but was very happy to get back to warmer weather. My spuds went missing for a week it was so cold.
As with all January's it's quiet musically however this mix might give the impression that isn't the case. I'll be honest I was surprised to be able to put together a two hour show of new stuff that sounds pretty tasty.
As you would expect there is a strong new garage sound peppered throughout.
Highlight for me was having Jay-J listen to the show and provide two new promos during the show which got played towards the end. That's the first time I've been able to play a world exclusive, and then not once but twice! The first track was made last week in Sydney in Davor's apartment. Crazy thought that.
Big thanks also to Aaron "Linebacker" Yearwood for turning up WHADUP by Scrambled Eggs & Cheese (I'm not making that up!) One of the hidden gems of 2012 if you ask me.
As always thanks to everyone that tuned in on the outside and in the chatroom. Unfortunately DJ Kevin Anthony has had to move his show to Sunday's so no more back to back session from Sydney to Baltimore. I'd like to say a big thanks to Kevin for the fun we had during 2012 on Thursday's. Look forward to spinning back to back sometime when the airwaves are quiet.
Finally big shout to Niv Margalit over there in Isreal. Founder of 2BContinued and an early supporter of c2eMusic. Niv has been playing c2eMusic mixes on his site www.2bcontinued.co.il for a few years now. Your support is greatly appreciated and long may it continue.

Finally managed to get back online - big thanks to John Mateo for ridding my PC of whatever illness it had.
This show was supposed to have aired on Dec 27th as the last of the 2012. Instead it is the first show of 2013 and what a way to start the year.
This mix features one (rare occasion two) tracks from each year starting in 2012 and working back 25 years to 1987.
It was very difficult as you can imagine picking the one track to represent each year. The more you dig the more you find and the harder it gets. Especially as each track would take the mix in a different direction, thus defining what you can pick from earlier years. Not easy, but lot's of fun.
I recommend it to anyone wanting to get re-acquainted with their old vinyl collection again.
We pay our respects to the late DJ Man-X with "Happy Endings" representing 2010 - great talent who will be missed by many.
Leave a comment and let me know which tracks you would have picked for your favourite years.
I am immensely proud to say that the c2eMusic podcast was the number one Podcast over Christmas. That blew my mind and was the best Christmas present I could have wished for, so thank you everyone for making it happen. It is very reassuring that a Deep and Soulful house music podcast can be number one with all of the various genres out there today.
Back to this mix and at just over 2 hrs 40 minutes this is a genuine musical feast for anyone that has been into house from the early days and enjoys a trip down memory lane.
Music is one of those unique things that evokes memories like they happened yesterday. I can remember when I first heard nearly all of the tracks in here. Makes the last 25 years feel like they happened in the blink of an eye.
Keep watching the following for updates on all things c2e and thanks again for all of your support in 2012.

Week two of the live show on Pressure Radio.
This was a replay of a mix first aired on Christmas eve, with a couple of adjustments here and there.
It's packed full of my favourite tracks from the last 23 years of house music.
There are a few fat finger moments, which I apologise for. Talking in the chat room and mixing at the same time is something I need to practise this week for the next show :)
The recording of the shows are getting big downloads but it would be great if you can tune into the show when it airs live. The more interaction in the chat room and live listeners the more intense the mix will be as I'll get to vybe off you guys. Who knows where that can take the mix, let's find out.
For those that can I look forward to your company next Thursday at 10am GMT (9pm Sydney).
For those that do tune in, a very sincere thank you, you make it all worth while.
