All time top 5 house sets

The Ninja — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:12:33 +0000

Well not really the all time top 5 – because that would be far too hard to decide. While listening to Dixon’s Body Language 4 for the umpteenth time I started thinking about those go-to sets that you seem to thrash but yet still give you that great sense of comfort and enjoyment years (or hundreds of listens) later.

For me, without doing it consciously, I keep finding I go back to :

So what sets do you find yourself coming back to over and over again – even years later?

Top Mixes 2008!

websta — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 01:01:36 +0000

1 of the joys of my employment is that I have a stereo to myself all day, every day with no cloth eared tit telling me to `turn off the gay shit’. So I get to listen to top gay shit all day long, result!

As the year comes to an end I have found myself with a few minutes spare and an ipod `mixes’ folder with 51 separate mixes in it. So here is a list of all the ones I went back to again and again this year. This is my list of mixes I like; it doesn’t make them the best ever just the ones that resonated with me the heaviest. I haven’t heard every mix that came out this year but I have prolly heard more than most people, so there!

I have linked as many as possible, whether those links work or not, I dunno…. That’s not my problem as I already have them and you should be happy I even bothered… the bloody cheek of you lot…. Ya go to all the effort and what thanks do ya get? I ask you… I don’t know why I bother sometimes….

Anyways, I have a top 3, the rest are just sorta bunched up a bit…. there are no rules expect
I rulz! Oh yeah!

So heres the #1 mix of 2008 according to me!!

Vera Live @ Zunkuft/Zurich 11-01-08
http://www.djjulietta.de/ELIVERVEINE_JULIETTA_ZUKUNFT_ZURICH_110108.zip

I have mentioned this earlier in the year somewhere on te finger due to its greatness. And greatness it has in spades! Clocking in at around 5hrs in length you would think I would tire of it after a bit, but no! Many a day has been whiled away at work bopping about the deep house stylings of Vera. It doesn’t rock out, more roll around but at no point does it ever lose your attention. Hard to beat, actually its unbeaten! That’s why its #1. Indulge this on a sunny day on the deck, add wine and friends and your off to a flier!

Next on my list, local boy done gone away
Randall Munro May Heads Down mix
Alas, I have no link to this, hopefully the man of the hour can show up with a link for us all. This ticks all the house boxes! Soulful without being super serious, bumpy without any shitty Chicago house stylings. I dunno what to say about it other than its likely my most listened to mix this year, and if ya think about the number of great mixes by great djs below that are available to someone with rudimentary interwebs skills like myself, I think that’s high praise indeed!!

Wanked on endlessly about on the internet, here is a prime example . But still outstandingly great, the rando-meter is turned up to 11 for the 1st hour and then it just top notch dubstep to close out the 2 hr ride. You really should have this.

Rather disturbingly, I have become a bit of a RA podcast addict this year, mostly down to the fact that they somehow appear on my itunes each week without me knowing about it…..
These are the the ones that ruled the roost at Casa Del Aquavista
Quiet Village RA podcast
Some super Balearic stuff for your Sunday mornings, including a Led Zep track!
Gerd Janson RA podcast
Never heard of him but he puts on a bloody good show here
Steffi RA podcast
Panorama bar bird does deep moody house like I wanna hear it
Motorcity Drum Ensemble RA Podcast
New and Detroithousey, I love that shit!

Its been a year or so of bleepy house and techno which was always gonna send me back to find some proper music with real instruments on them wasn’t it.

Horsemeat Disco set me up a treat with these 2 mixes, both a sort happy 80’s disco turnout…. Super stuff all-round really, ya just never know what’s gonna pop up next on these mixes, but ya know it will be great!

I also found this Disco Bloodbath mix by Dan Warwick, which is outstanding!! Again a bit nutty, a lot different and full of surprises right till the end. Possibly a bit hard done by not hitting the top 3, we’ll call it #4 amongst friends. http://www.zshare.net/audio/1419424060be1559/

The Ibiza Voice Podcast series was solid this year and I was super keen on getting into them as I was destined for the White Isle. These are the 3 that I really loved.

Cassy, like Vera and Steffi, does the deep house thing. I like the deep house thing! She plays a touch harder here than other mixes but the high standards are intact, Mick & I got to see Cassy in the garden Bar at Berghain this year, it was a good time!

Prolly my favourite bouncy techno/house mix I heard this year, lots of lil surprises and smooth as Bob’s waxed bum.

I have been a big Detroit house fan since ages ago and this year has sent me through 3 mixes of unsurpassed brilliance. Fill ya boots with
Santiago Salazar, got nothing on a name here, mores the pity
Not the rubbish sept mix doing the rounds with that horrid kiwi bird prattling on about techno on it at present but 1 from earlier on. Gonna need some help finding this 1. If ya want it, complain and I will get someone to load it up here

A quick monday morning post from me to get the week underway.

Nothing like a little Dinky, the perfect way to start the day with some nice summery deep vibes (I’m enjoying this one a LOT more than her RA podcast).

Dinky Ibiza Voice Podcast: http://www.ibiza-voice.com/sessions/media/Dinky_Ibiza_Voice_Podcast.mp3

Then once I’ve eased myself into the day, I’ll likely be giving the DJ Bone LWE podcast another listen (very detroit – websta won’t like it).
