Mix: Dave Begg January 2009

Did a quick one hour mix this week, live & unplanned and all that bollocks so a bit rough around the edges, but I'm probably liking this one the most of all my recent mixes, quite housey/techy bizniz... anyway, hope you enjoy it :)

Lee Burridge RA Podcast

Right, back with a bang - this is one mix you have to check out - Lee Burridge's RA Podcast.

I can kinda see why this mix has polarised opinions to some extent as it's quite a deep, melancholic number, and a lot of people are still stuck in a late 90s prog rut and maybe expected him to bang out a bunch of Quivver tracks. I think it's ace though, probably the best mix I've heard this year.

Grab it HERE:

Or check this out if it's already been archived - ALL RA PODCASTS! - even if you don't find it, it's worth checking for the Ewan Pearson podcast alone.

Here's a tracklisting for the Burridge podski:

01. Pole - Pferd (Melchior Productions Remix)
02. Adam Kroll - Cael [Squonk]
03. Douglas Greed - Balldate (Klute remix) [Combination Records]

Stereotype

Since the lack of updates to this page/site is becoming a far too regular thing, I decided I better write something... first up, here's a chart (or rather a random list) of stuff I've been playing lately... I WILL DO A MIX sometime soon, honest:

Luca Bacchetti, Paul Ritch - Crazy Madness - Luca Bacchetti Remix - SCI+TEC Digital Audio
Dubshape - Droplets - Late Night Mix - Kompakt
Sascha Funke, DJ Koze - Mango Cookie - DJ Koze's Pink Moon Remix - Bpitch Control
Paul Ritch, Maurizio & Danyelino - Adenine - Paul Ritch Remix - SCI+TEC Digital Audio
FUNKE Sascha - The Acrobat - Efdemin remix - BPitch Control Germany
CALCULUS - Loosey Goosey - Reboot rework - Hairy Claw
KABAR, Gamal - The Filth - 3 Channels remix - Poker Flat Germany
MOELLER, Brendon - Electricity - Leena Germany
TANZMANN, Matthias - Love-Shaped Feeling - Reboot rework - Moon Harbour Germany
LARSSON - Ruanda - Reboot's Susu rework - Rotary Cocktail Germany
RESMANN, Marco - Butterfly Effect - Upon You Germany
DJ T - Outbreak - Get Physical Germany
CARRERAS, Jacopo - One Sentence - Efdemin remix - Lan Muzic Germany
Lawrence - Sweeping The Stars - Mule Electronic Japan
Echologist - Faith - Ame remix - Mule Electronic Japan

Anyway, last weekend was fun, really enjoyed both Fusion Sessions at Sneaky Pete's and Washing Machine at The GRV. Rather embarrassingly that was the first time I'd even been in the GRV and I was hugely impressed, an amazing space especially given Edinburgh's limited options right now.

Next gig is Stereotype on Sep 25th. Really excited about this one, basically it's me & Ryan Ellis doing our thing in the second room, a deep/minimal vibe which should compliment the main room sounds of Huggy and Blair Harrower next door. Not done a proper backroom since the heady days of the chillout room in Skank with Nick Tweedie and Brian Hutcheon years ago. Back rooms are probably the perfect environment for a lot of the stuff I've been playing lately - or rather have wanted to play but couldn't - so will be great to see how it works out.

New tunes

Apologies for the lack of updates (again!), been a manic month or two with visits to Berlin - great city but an absolute nightmare trying to get into clubs if you're in a group of guys, especially if you've been on the sesh since lunchtime! And Sonar in Barcelona - Richie Hawtin and the Minus guys were great, although much of the other stuff was a bit of a blur. Next year I'll go sober ;)

Actually no I won't.

Mix: Dave Begg June 2008

Knocked up a new mix last night after a few beers, as with other recent mixes it's completely unplanned, in fact I was still downloading some of the tracks on it off Beatport when I started the mix, and wasn't entirely sober. Not really how you're meant to do it, in fact I think I will try to plan the next one for a change.

Website problems & CLASSICS!!

aaaaarrrrrgghhhhh!!!!

As some of you may have noticed, I've had massive problems with my website for over a month now after transferring (very unsuccessfully) to a new, disastrous host.

I am now waiting for my site to be transferred again, to a hopefully better one, but in the meantime I'll just use the blog.

At the moment there is no gigs/news section but the only thing I'd really like to push is my "Classics" gig at Ivy this Saturday. I'm not normally one for looking backwards, especially when "underground" music is concerned, but this is the first time I've done a classics set ever so I'm really looking forward to it. It's also got me thinking I should get around to doing the classics mix I've been thinking about for so long. Having dug out some huge tracks from the early Skank days, going back to 93/94 and racking my brains for some of the stuff guys like Nick Arthur, Ronnie Pacitti and Brian Hutcheon used to play, I've managed to source some amazing old stuff. Lots of Zoom and Hard Hands kinda stuff, including the obvious Shi-take, Sourmash, Flammable, Delta Lady tracks, to the less obvious including the TTP releases (unbelievably ace and still sounding fresh today), tribal stuff like The Daou, plus a few of the older Billy Nasty things like Razor's Edge and Exit EEE, and some of the Hyper Hype stuff - Mo-Tune anyone?

Anyway I will get that classics mix done soon but in the meantime if any of you can make it to Ivy on Saturday I'll be on early doors, probably 11-12.30 or so, hopefully see some of you there :)
