Mark Hawkins has put together another set under his ### moniker. It looks like it spans a good chunk of time and styles and will probably benefit anyone who needs a Techno set to listen to while sitting in the sun.
Scott Robinson has been popping his nose up in places lately. The latest of which is Mark's Singals From Southwark podcast. It's a live set so there's no tracklist supplied and apparently it's similar in content to a recent Berlin set Scott played. Check 'er out.
Mark must be back from his tropical vacation. Hawaii must have left him in a good mood and itching to record a new mix since it seems it was the first he did upon his return!
This week we're going a bit harder than usual - a mix inspired by the kind of stuff I was playing in the mid to late 90s at outdoor parties, so it's a bit of a nostalgia trip... There area few newer pieces in there also, such as the Electric Kettle track, and I'm also warming you up for Scott Robinson's forthcoming live showcase, in preparation for our gig at the WMF in Berlin on 22nd of February, with two trax from his Debut release on Cluster which really hailed the arrival of the third wave of UK techno..

The duo known as Subhead are responsible for giving me a taste of something that I hadn't known existed. This is Mark's set though so I'll let him do the talking...
Subhead was a big big influence on my early work - Ctrl Alt Delete definitely has a bit of Subheads 11 and 18 in there. I first discovered them in 1996, and straight away they sounded original and unique, like the real embodiment the much touted techno ethic of sounding like "nothing you ever heard before" whilst enduring a real punk rock aesthetic. They were the first producers that I ever met who's attitude, instead of holding back all but what they considered the very best of their material, was "put it all out - even if you don't like it, someone else will!" - Not that you could really tell that by listening to their stuff. Often the reason why you might at first think a track is a dud was because you just didn't get it!

Saskia Slegers AKA Miss Djax gave me my first real big break into the music biz, and her Techno Label 'Djax Up Beats" based in Eindhoven, Holland, has definitely been a big influence on the music I make myself over the years - So here's 30 trax from various Djax Up records that I own that definitely showcase the very different sounds the Label has showcased over the years. And, in case you didn't know, and particuarly for people from English speaking countries, the Dutch pronunciation of the letter "J" is like the English "Y" - So Djax is pronounced as the English speaker would pronounce "Jacks"- so it's not "Dee Jacks" as many people here would assume. Anyway, hope you enjoy the mix.
