Profile: Been collecting vinyl since around 1990, have dabbled with this dj malarky although I seem to be more of an anal collector these days. As the years have passed by, I seem to have increased my appreciation of all types of music - not only electronic, so my collection is pretty eclectic. Whenever I actually get around to recording a mix, I tend to over-analyse the results think it could be better and try to do it again; the hard truth that perhaps I'm shit at mixing hasn't quite hit home yet ;-) Latest mix: Binary Format Jul'09 My guest mix for the deeprhythms.com website, a smooth contemporary blend with some the deepest digital releases around. [more info] Previous mixes: Ruminations Aug'06 Back in the days when trance wasn't a dirty word, an ambient vibe seemed to permeate electronica and created these mellow, gentle yet mixable & danceable tracks. [more info] Marinading Beats Feb'05 A slower sub 100bpm grooving mix of electronica, balearica & mid-tempo stewed beats. [more info] Club Mediteranneo Jul'04 Deep house with an italian twist. [more info] Old Skool Deep vol.1 Feb'04 Vibe education - the early inspiration. [more info] All mixes are available on TipTop, visit using the links provided above. However, far be it for me to constantly blow my own trumpet, there are other dj sets also online at TipTop from my fellow black wax brothers: ck, keith & pking. I also select and put tracks up for listening/evaluation on my blog which also includes archives of selected internet radio shows. EstimuloShow Along with truly, I co-host the London programme in the rotation of presenters for the EstimuloShow on the first Saturday of every month, start 1800GMT for between 3-6 hours. For the most up-to-date schedule of forthcoming shows, please visit: www.mixomat.org/estimuloshow The rotating line up is as follows: [+] 1st Sat: London, UK - pinkychukkles & truly-madly [+] 2nd Sat: Berlin, Germany - estimulo & makarov [+] 3rd Sat: San Francisco, USA - Roxnadz [+] 4th Sat: Toronto, Canada - Mike Bishop Discogs Ratings My personal take on the rating system is that I do actually find it useful, perhaps not always the overall rating but by seeing the rating of those folk on Discogs that I respect and have similar taste to, can always either be an added incentive to buy something I wasn't so sure about or not as the case maybe. If it's in my collection it should be rated at least 4 (possibly occasionally a 3) otherwise I really should be thinking about fashioning an ashtray with it or something. Be aware that my rating can be just due to one track when the others are complete space fillers. I'm no Malicious Rater Hater though, i.e. not really into deliberately rating stuff I've never even heard of 1 if I've rated something poorly it's usually just down to the more mundane reason that it's passed through my hands...and is shit...IMVHO naturally ;-) Top artists tickling my pink ears in the last week: Tracks last listened to: My Top Artists: My Top Tracks: last updated: 30th-Jan-09

DJ-LTJ Bukem* - Mellow - 06-May-09 12:51 AM
People are surprised when they listen to this mix - Bukem mixing up deep house? Some of the older heads will node sagely and recall vague memories and say they remember that he 'did' house; such is his identification with drum and bass. Superb mixing and a fantastic track selection, all coalesce to form this unique snapshot of the deep house sound of '91/'92. Since the tape I purchased back then has been absolutely cained with repeated plays, I ripped it to mp3 when the first opportunity presented itself. Since then I've disseminated it online in various locations (currently on my blog) and it's been downloaded thousands of times, google it and it will be easy to find. Enjoy.

Although the love was lost but then was found, it's time to show some love for an accomplished compilation of tracks from talented artists on a label that, hopefully, has plenty more to offer in this vein. Of course, I may be biased since I know Malcolm personally but I like to think that my quality music radars on both sides of my head and the control centre in between, are all grounded enough to declare that this is a release deserving of your attention.

If you're one of the deepheadz out there, seeking out the subterranean vibes from the more mellow and slower end of the deep house spectrum, if not already in your collection this ought to be. Although I jumped on buying a copy of this as soon as I heard tracks from it and noting the quality of both the packaging and the pressing when received, it was outrageously then hidden away amongst my collection. Then again, such unforgivable oversights can make the re-discovery all the more rewarding; especially since the effort has been taken to create a vinyl pressing.

If pushed, I will prefer some tracks over others but there's nothing here that's filler, just quality tracks that have been produced with attentiveness by consummate craftsmen of the deep. Show some love and support this release and label.

This is a compilation that's worth getting for the Vick Lavender and to a slightly lesser extent, the Moon Man (Boo Williams) tracks; these aren't available on separate releases in their own right. Vick Lavender delivers some pure Chi-Town deep house and Boo is right up there doing what he does best. For me personally, these are the only two stand out tracks from the whole of the compilation; others lean more towards straight-forward club orientated house.

Came across 'The Gathering' in Joey Negro's excellent mix compilation "Out Of The Box" and I'm afraid after tracking down and buying a copy of this release, it's a case of the Joey Negro re-edit actually improving the original. Unless you've bought it for the other tracks, get that instead, a better pressing across one side of a twelve inch and most likely cheaper and more readily available to find diggin' in the crates or on the t'interweb.

Getting the a copy of the cd release is essential to appreciate the effort gone into crafting all three mixes but if you're a vinyl junkie, what makes this triple vinyl pack worth the effort to find is because it's the only place on vinyl that I can see to get both Blue Effect 'Skybound' and Envoi 'Landscapes'.

Both tracks have a 2-step beats but aren't UK Garage tracks. 'Skybound' is a rather dreamy, gentle audio trip with effect-laden vocals and staccato guitar licks whilst 'Landscapes' has tougher beats still offset by some serene female vocals. Both tracks exceptionally good productions and since the triple vinyl pack only has a fraction of the total tracks used on the cd release, I'm glad they chose to include them on here, seek this release out!
