Hi all,

Some of you may know I've relocated from Sunny Scotland to a rather damp Sydney, Australia. While trying to get to grips with this new city and the Aussie rate of pace (pretty chilled) I've found this old nugget of a mix I recorded back in 2005.

It was a promotional mix I would give away on CD at gigs in Edinburgh (the old way of sharing music and promotion. It's all much easier now with file sharing, podcasts, facebook and what have you.

Some big tunes for me back then are included in the mix. Recloose joining kiwi's Fat Freddy's Drop frontman Joe Dukie on “Dust”, the amazing boogie-anthem-although-it-was-a-b-side “Burning Up” by Imagination, the extraordinary “Flookin” by Solid Groove was not out my record box for years and not forgetting the rap classic “Me, Myself and I”.

I hope you enjoy the sounds...
