DJ Elwood - The Colorful Sweater Mix (2008)

If you like 80's shit like Howard Johnson & Kashif, like I do, then check out DJ Elwood's new Colorful Sweater Mix. It's another dope mix following on from the classic "Soul Glo" mix he did before. I have to give Elwood a shout, he always gives me feedback on my posts & he does some nice mixes. Anyway go to his site & download that shit & if you haven't checked Soul Glo get that too.

Quick Boogie Mix

Here's a quick mix I did the other day with mostly records I have just bought. It's all pretty much good 80's Boogie shit. Again none of the mixes were planned or anything. I will put out some proper mixes soon, but in the mean time I will post some of these type of quick mixes just to share some of the music I am listening to.

As per my last post, I am only going to be able to put out limited posts over the next few weeks, but I will try to post something as much as I can. Thanks to all that do leave comments or feedback but there are still loads of people who don't bother. I haven't had time to do tracklists but I can let people know tracks if they email me. It may take me a few days to get back to you though.

P.Skillz Electro Funk Mix

Here's a quick mix I knocked out today. It's a bit ruff in places but I can't be bothered to re do it. It's 80's Electro Funk type shit. I'm putting an 80's Boogie mix together, which I will post soon, along with a Hip Hop mix. I'm also thinking of starting some radio station type podcasts, with guest DJ's, so look out for that. Anyways check my mix out.

Candye P.Skillz Edit

Here is a quick edit I made tonight. I basically chopped the drums, guitar & vocal sample of "Talk to me" then replayed it to extend the intro & outro so this would be easier to mix when DJing. I have not changed the track much, just extended it really. It's quite nice to post an edit you have literally just finished this minute. The original is "Talk to Me" by Candye. I have just paid $50 for the LP off ebay, but there are 3 killer cuts & it's quite hard to pick up. I'm really into 80's funk/boogie played on synths at the minute so love this type of shit. This was produced by Kevin McCord, who was in One Way, who made some classic tracks also such as "Pop What You Got". Enjoy.
