Hello all !!

Well its Miami Winter Music Conference time which means that in the next couple of weeks we will be hearing what will be the big guns for the Spring/Summer 06 dance music scene.

Anyone got any early predictions ??? Heres one for you...

Asle - Golden Sun (Haji and Emanuel Mix)......this ones really rocking my boat at the moment.

Golden is a good tune....nice summery vibe

New Bob Sinclar one- world hold on- should do well.

Dj Exacta and Daley Padley- Pride ( A deeper Love) should do well i think too........ although I am biased as he is a friend of mine !

Route 33- looking back i think could do very well- could do with a dub/non vocal mix however.
Alexander O neal- Lord (bah Samba mix/dub) is an outside bet
SuperMongo- 'Why' may do well too........although its sitting on the fnece about to fall into the giant cheese vat!

Liking Pete tong 'Serendipity' a lot too.

Too many others- and to be honest far far too much ****e to wade through this year. Over saturated.

As always something will come from nowhere and blow everything else away.
I will say that defected have some absolute monster tunes lined up too.

pretty pissed off I couldnt make it out there actually- had a gig lined up but no work visa and couldnt get one in time. Wouldnt even consider working without one as could severely jeopardise my future emigration plans.

Yep Freak you can be sure Defected and Subliminal have some monsters in the wings !!!!

Cant wait to hear some of the big tunes at the Southport Weekender in May. It will be my 20th Southport !!!

Subliminal has some stuff coming out soon...... including some remixes of Reel 2 real- Jazz it up (richard grey Mix is good) and some new mixes of erick Morillo & P Diddy 'Dance I said'.

Antione Clamaran & Phillipe B have an absolute belter called 'House Of Love' (samples an old strictly rhythm track by smooth touch) coming out in the not too distant future...... look out for it. Monster!

ill have to wade through the tps ive had recently
my m8s have flow out on thursday fontaine and stimpy
to be honest im out of touch with things since the baby
did you get the reworkings of sandy b and jumping freak?
on champion and ryhtm king respectively i think
ive got hundreds of tracks to go through before i say what will be big in 06

Freak

Yes i got the robbie Rivera mix of Sandy B...... how many ways can you flog a dead horse! Its a nice mix- im just sick of rehashes of classics!
By jumping I assume you mean keep on jumping (todd terry)? Had some through ages ago- the only two mixes which were any good were Steve Mac's 2005 thumpin' refresh mix and the Disco Darlings mix- which I actually quite like....... nicely updates it. Not a patch on the original!

ive got tons of tests to go through but my decks arent connected

EXSCOOBY

no freakoid
there was a limited run of test pressings of jumping with hoxton ****** mixes i think
ill dig it out later on and re post in the morning
it was strictly taste maker only and im not even sure how legit it is
a huge track anyway and i think got a small release on an italian imprint before chrimbo
ill dig out the details and post again in the morning

EXSCOOBY

come to think of it there was a german rework of jumping that had a deep bass phase effect and a piano refrain in the middle eight
it was a good 12 inch and something i blagged for the house buyer at eastern bloc 3 months ago
it was deffo a booty as it was pressed off centre and wobbled like mad

EXSCOOBY

freak do you play off vinyl anymore or just cds mp3s?
just curious
i can play on 3 decks easy or could last time i tried but im thinking of getting some cd decks and messing around on them once my lil baby is older

EXSCOOBY

before sticky micky or astraboi post doubting my dj credentials
obviously i dont have the pile of test pressings im looking at or the pile of cd acetates
its all in my mind

Freak

I love vinyl- I have 15000+ 12"s here...and use 3 turntables (when im not playing **** to chavs in ****holes to pay the bills that is)- but I bought 3 cdj1000mk2s in january to go with them.
Only MAJOR pain in the *** bit is transferring 12"s to CD. Takes forever!

Will not touch MP3s in data form for playing- tried it years ago when they brought out the denon 4000 and 9000 and it was a nightmare, so only MP3s when when burned as a regular audio CD now.

Like to use both- but I have to admit I do like not having back ache from carrying hundreds of records...not to mention the sheer number you can carry. Looping and hot cues also aid to the appeal of CDS....but im happy using both for now.

My personal records (not the ones i buy purely to sell) I will never sell.

EXSCOOBY

Apparition

Don't know whether it falls into this category and I never thought I'd be saying this but :
Chicane ft TOM JONES ! Of all people .... "Stoned in Love".
