What went into making this mix, what helped inspire you?

I meticulously went through all my records one by one, thinking which ones would go together and would produce a nice flow to the mix. I then wrote down each one’s BPM and worked out which key it is in. I then made a note of how long each track is and worked out how long I can keep it in the mix. I wrote it all down on paper and then did a ‘1st draft’ mix to check the transitions. Once i was happy and I had the records worked out, I put them all in order and pressed record.

But in reality, these are all records I’ve acquired in the last month or so, so thought I’d put them in a mix. no pre planning, no anything, just put the record on and see where it takes me

Whats new on the Horizon For you?

The horizon.  More of the same.  Acquiring records, doing mixes, playing some gigs. I’m 46 now, so I’ll continue to do it as long as it makes me happy. I cant see that changing any time soon. Although I am patiently waiting for my dream deep house gig in the Carribean. Got a few things in the Pipeline with Were Going Deep
