DRINKING PEACOCK LAST TIME I WAS IN COCKTAILS

Here's my live set from the first time I played there:

ESSENTIAL MIX 500 WITH AEROPLANE

Where do I start with this post?

It's taken me a week to get over the occasion and I'll be downright honest - I barely remember anything of it.

The night got off to a quiet start at my friend Sean's house. We had a mix for a few hours (on turntables no less) and downed a bottle of vodka between us in swift succession. It was during this mass vodka intake that I received a text message from another friend David telling me Daft Punk we're the special guests at CIRCUS.

Being quite drunk at this stage both Sean and I we're in shock. I contacted a DJ (who I won't name because I'm still thinking of ways of how to get him back). To find out what was going on and what followed was the biggest leg pulling incident of my entire life! I'll blame the vodka and not my idiocy... moving swiftly on...

Listening back now for the first time, Aeroplane made for excellent guests. I just wish I could relive it, without being in such a state!

YOUSEF - CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE VOLUME 2

I thought I'd post this up quick because I'm off to the CIRCUS 500th Essential Mix Party tonight!

Something different (and really enjoyable) from Yousef:

Perfect for post club listening or a nice walk on a lovely summers day.

WELCOME!

Welcome and thanks for visiting my new blog! In the coming weeks I will be adding content and changing the design (this is only temporary).

This time around the aim is to provide a more personalised blog than with my previous mix only offering 'The Downstairs Mixup'.

You'll be able to find out about mixes, productions, tracks I like, party information and lots of other stuff you would expect from a blog of this sort.

Also I get quite a few people asking me to help them out with various Ableton Live issues and because I'm usually rubbish at explaining myself in person I'll aim to cover certain subjects via this blog. I don't know much but it might be handy for someone... somewhere!

Have a great weekend.

Gareth
