Trying to do a mix/demo CD for the last 2 years…

16/02/09

I’ve been trying to put a mix or demo CD together for a while. Then I got a question from Glen (see his lastfm account) asking to recommended a few tunes.

“Hey Paul, how’s things over a nine four? Sweet library, any recommendations? Coming to the next Creative Assembly?”

Recommendations now that’s tricky as I have about 23gig of MP3 files, 500+ CD’s and 12 years of Vinyl (about 3000)… plenty to choose from.

Dont get me wrong its not a brag, I’m not a huge vinyl junkie or crate digger as I simply don’t have time or money for that. I’d love to though, and I’d love to blog about it but there people out there doing a far better job! (note thats another post to write).

Recently I’m going digial because its easier! (sorry vinyl junkies) I’ve alos made the switch to Sarato’s SL5 and Scratch Live. I still buy vinyl when I can. As of today here’s a few possible tracks that may make it into the mix:

  1. Superimposers – The Northern Song (Ashley Beedle’s Southern Psychedelic Mix)
  2. A Certain Ratio – “Do the Du”
  3. Empire of the Sun – “Walking On a Dream”
  4. Led Zeppelin “Trampled Under Foot”
  5. Diplo LP – “Decent Work For Decent Pay”
  6. Daniel Wang – “Like Some Dream I Can’t Stop Dreaming”
  7. Chase & Status – “Against All Odds”
  8. Claude Von Stroke – “The Whistler (The Whistler)” and the diplo mix
  9. Desert Island Tune, can never get over how good this is: Joubert Singers – “Stand On The Word” (Larry Levan Mix)
  10. Al Simmons – “Old Folks’ Boogie”
  11. The Futureheads “Skip To The End – [Extended Re-Edit]”
  12. Anything you can find by Ulysses82
  13. One for Ulysses82 – George Kranz – “Din Daa Daa”
  14. El Guincho – LP “Alegranza” maybe “Palmitos Park”
  15. Carmel – “More More More”
  16. A twist of “The Natural Yogurt Band”
  17. The Apples – “Killing” (funk version of Rage Against the Machiene)
  18. 6IX TOYS – “Voodoo People” (funk version of the Prodigy’s classic)
  19. Jimi Hendrix – “Voodoo Child”
  20. A Guy Called Gerald – “Voodoo Ray”
  21. Laid Back – “Ride The White Horse”

Thats all I’m giving away for now… I’ll keep you all posted.
