Rubber Stamped Mixes

Episodes 97 and 98 are kind of a set. I bought 40 tunes and then decided to split them into 2 mixes. I was thinking one could be an early or middle set and the other a late set but they both go on a journey and by the end neither is really a warm up set so they remain seperated but together.......This set is more tech house with a little techno and the other set is more progressive with tunes/remixes from Daniel Portman, Raxon, Sebastian Leger, Solomun, CIREZ D, Guy Gerber etc. on labels like Bedrock, Tronic, Renaissance, etc.Enjoy the tech sound and then of course checkout episode 98 to see the contrast.Turn it Up!Tracklisting Secre Encounters - Guy Gerber - Integral Digitial Stay Silence - TouchTalk Remix - Arnas D - Dear Dear Pure - D-Nox, Victor Ruiz - Sudbeat Music Infinidad - Teho Remix - Solee Hangin Out With Charlie - CamelPhat - Relief Aviate - Yotto - Anjunadeep DXB - Sebastian Leger - Temple of Lions March of the Forest Cat - Lane 8 - This Never Happened Reste - Raxon Remix - Olivier Giacomotto, No

After finishing off the house mix with mainly jackin and soulful tunes yesterday I decided to make another mix before our trip to see Norman Jay at Electric Elephant festival in Croatia tomorrow. I couldn't not do a Drum and Bass mix and I spent the early hours of the morning filtering loads of tunes and while I didn't have as long as I would have liked to do my research I was really happy when it came to recording the mix with the output. This is just over 2 hours of my favourite Drum and Bass, jazzy, rolling, funky, uplifting, progressive beats with fat baselines and vocals. Record labels include Hospital, RAM, 3beat, UKF, Hybrid and Sun and Bass recordings to name a few. Tunes from London Electricity, Hybrid Minds, Sigma, Calibre, Hugh Hardie, Nu:Logic, etc.I will be back later this month with more music. In the meantime get your system on, connect the biggest sub woofer you can find and turn this badboy up!

Back after a timeout for Gracie girl! bought these tunes in Feb didnt get a chance to make them until today a few days before we hit Croatia's Obonjon Island for Electric Elephant Festival a celebration for a few old guys I know reaching the big 40! Bruv, Jarni, Sween, Mundis, Barton. Maisy, Ross, CC, Freddie Fruitcake.Respect to the old boys!It's housey, jackin, soulful, a few classics some new. Something a bit different. I will get into some records over the next month and do some reasearch and I will be back in the next few weeks with some more mixes. In the meantime enjoy this one Tracklisting Do It Now (extended mix) - Dub Tribe Soundsystem - Defected Saturday - Hazzaro - Guesthouse Love Hangover 2016 remaster - Joey Negro - Z Records When I See You - Angelo Ferreri - Mood Funk Records Don't Walk - Angelo Ferreri - Glasgow Underground Still Together - Mark Funk - Guesthouse Yeah (dub) - Sandy Rivera - Defected Coming After You - Angelo Ferreri remix - Demarkus Lewis - Monoside Need Some - Nathan Lee - Gu

Waiting for my mixes is turning out to be like waiting for bus.......... My 3rd mix in a fortnight is what I am calling Chilled House. The 40 tunes I have handpicked take you on a 3.5hr journey through a few genres of down and then more medium tempo house music. Genres include progressive deep house, commercial house and what I call deep house which is not this stuff from last few years thats been branded deep house when its actually commercial but genuinely deeper house. There are some old skool, garagey and handbag house riffs throughout this mix. With music amongest others from KANT, Robert Babicz, Tom Middleton, Vincenzo, Way Out West, Jody Wisternoff, Jamie Antonelli, Sandy Rivera, Ad Brown, Ian Pooley, Nora En Pure, Sebastien Leger, Larse, Yotto and EDX it#s a bit like a box of chocolates.This set would be ideal to listen to by the pool, at a houseparty, while you are working or most definitely with a few sundowners. It would work as a decent warm up set with the last couple of tunes ready to link into 

I started with a blank canvass 3 days ago and after trawling some records shops and finding lot of differnet tunes of many genres, I decided to go on a disco vibe. I narrowed down my crate to the following 25 tunes and spent some time on Friday morning moulding them together into a cheeky mix that is ideal for summertime.The mix is 130 minutes long starting at 114bpm and finishing at 124 bpm. There are some classic disco originals remixed by Joey Negro. Original artists include Cheryl Lynn, Grace Jones, Robert Palmer, Thelma Houston, Beverley Brown etc. While the theme is disco I am still able to mix it up with genres ranging from disco, nu disco, soul, funk, indie dance and house variations of. As usual turn it up and enjoy. Let me know if you like it! Tracklisting Every Kinda People - Joey Negro Multicultural Multitrack Mix - Robert Palmer - Z Records Pull Up To The Bumper - Joey Ngro Bumper To Bumper Mix - Grace Jones - Z Records You Saved My Day - Joey Negro Tell The World Mix - Cheryl Lynn - Z Records Go

It has been 2 years since my last Drum and Bass mix, can't believe that! I needed some big basslines and rolling beats so over the last 3 weeks I managed to narrow down 100 tunes that I liked and then finally bought 70. These got further whittled down to 60 after iistening to the whole tune in AIFF version once purchased. Then I had to programme the mix which was really hard because getting any sort of flow with that many tunes is difficult. I spent hours playing around with the flow until I was happy. I actually made a few last minute changes live in the mix but I am convinved that the journey works.This 4 hour mix is what I would play at a festival with time to build a set and rock a crowd all afternoon. I try to take you up and down a bit early on starting with lots of vocals, progressive D&B and some rollers then it picks up later on. The mix is pretty varied and icnludes liquid, rolling, soulful, jazzy, funky, progreesive drum and bass and some lighter jungle. It features artists inclduing Roni Size,

WARNING! This mix is a different from usual and probably not one for the purists. I was very much in 2 minds about making it but I have had a few requests for some main stream house dating back a while and the other weekend some mates were asking what sort of set I would play as a main set at a big outdoor beach party with a more commercial crowd. Figured it was a good test of versatility and this is the end result......There's a couple of link tunes to pickup from a pretend warm up act and these are what is today called deeper house but they are not very deep in my book. Then the mix kicks straight on into upfront house music with lots of well known riffs, vocals, piano melodies, etc. This is pumping commercial house music with at times a garagey twist along the same vibe, proper drunk feel good main room dancing tunes. Takes me back to the mid 90s with all the legendary bucks boys we were 16 and going to commercial house clubs like Visage in Hemel, Kudos in Watford, etc. they all were playing this 125bpm ho

This is 5hr long player combines my last 2 mixes starting with a mixture of melodic deep house and nu disco. The set gradually builds moving to some quality progressive house, then again at the end the tempo picks up as I move it into some pure uplifting goodness! Ideal for a house party where you want a soundtrack that progresses. Wherever and whenever you listen, make sure you turn it up!

After the success of my last podcast a few days ago i was inspired to push on and make another one. I started record shopping with an open mind and found myself drawn to some nu disco but also some deep house that was more on the melodic / funky side than what i would originaly have called deep house (more minimal) 5-10 years ago. I bought 25 tunes and this mix starting at 114bpm and finishing at 124bpm (fairly downtempo) aims to fuse the 2 genres smoothly together all the way through the mix rather than taking the easy option of disco first then deep house.....  These tunes are ideal at a bar when you first arrive to get the feet tapping and head nod and by the end you'll be dancing. They would also work really well on holiday with a few sundowners or in the park on a summers days.The mix features tunes from artists including Nora En Pure, Sharam Jay, Booka Shade, Tube & Berger, Timmy Vegas, Jamie Antonelli, Maceo Plex, Sasha and Dubai's very own Raxon.For now that's enough talk, it's time to get dowload

With my beloved Sands and Sam away in SA as its fairly hot here in Dubai, I am in that quieter time of year again and finally I was able to spend a few days record shopping. After a couple of house mixes and a big beat bouncer earlier this year, I fancied making something more progressive and uplifting and the end product is 3 hrs long, using 33 mostly new tunes. I did however manage to sprinkle in 3 or 4 oldies for good measure including the last tune "I am" by Chakra albeit a new A&B remix. This is a classic for me as I first purchased the original on vinyl way back in 1997 this was when we used to go to Peach at Camden Palace or Gallery at Turnmills back when trance was trance! The mix starts slow almost classical then into some deeper progressive stuff but builds quickly to full on progressive house where it stays for a good while before I pick up the tempo towards the end moving into some big room stuff and some full on trance at the end. Turn it on, turn it UP, sit back and let the goosebumps flo

As we roll into April, it just felt like time for fat, rolling, funky breakbeat goodness..........I have always been into my breaks from the minute as a teenager that I first heard those big juicy beats, kick drums and rolling basslines, I was hooked. My first taste came during my early trips to Brighton when me and the Bucks Boys used to party at the beach club where a certain Fat Boy Slim ran his "Big Beat Boutique" promotion. That early big beat was just perfection to me and I followed the genre ever since and Plump DJs and Stanton Warriors debut albums both released at a similar time (A Plump Night out and The Stanton Sessions) became legendary CDs that I owned and rinsed time and time again. Later in the mid 2000s at our JamBasha parties we always had a breaks and D&B room where we hosted headliners such as Drumattic Twins from Fingerlickin Records. Breaks have stayed with me ever since and it's interesting to see how the genre has developed after slowing down for a while.I have picked 30 tunes which

It's been a few months but inspired by my good mate Chantz, Rubber is back with a bang. I've put together 2 hours of quality house music for your listening pleasure. I found and purchased 30 tunes which i then narrowed down to 22 after a full HD listening to make a punchy 2 hour mix. It starts off very global undergroundish and a bit tribal then moves into various genres of house mainly 120-125 farily deep and progressive with a sprinkling of techno rising to a peak with a real funky jacking tune to finish the set.

November leading into December for me is one of the best times of year, the football season is in full swing and so is the rugby 7s series in the UAE. I can't believe it has come round so quickly again. I am hitting Thailand for a chilled few days before SA for Christmas so I needed a holiday mix. I just put together a 3 hour warm up style set of 35 new tunes that I picked up last week on Cyber Monday thanks beatport for the 45% discount code! This is a house music mix that builds nicely up over the some house genres including chilled, indie dance, deep, nu disco and tech. Should be a nice accompianment to a sunset with an ice cold one or to be honest I would love to hear this in a club when I first arrived to get the head nodding and feet tapping. In the meantime, get downloading, crack a beer and get turn this mix turned UP!Tracklisting:1 Never Forget - Session Victim - Delusions of Grandeur2 Victory - Marcus Marr Remix - ATTS - Days of Being Wild3 Alright - Rene, Matvey Emerson - Spirit Soul Records4 Love

What with family and 1 yr old son, work, playng and running the Warriors rugby team and Dubai Football Club it's been a busy year! I managed to spend a couple of nights last week trawling through beatport and some online record shops for some new tunes and today I had a rare few hours spare to finally gave me time to record a new mix. I used 28 tunes to make a peak time set of progressive house tunes mainly at 126-129 bpm so its quite pumping. The mix is 2.5hrs long, sit back relax and turn it up!

This is a 5hr 42min set recorded live from the basement club of Casa Sao Paolo in Estoril Portugal. Mikey Mattacola kicks off the set on his own wedding day with an eclectic mix of funk and soul before changing it up a bit and going more housey and tribal. Mikey has a break at 2hrs 19mins as it is left to Rubber to step up with some house classics supported on the dex by a fairly smashed Mikey who was having great fun creating some effex with a few extra effex sprinkled on top for good luck . Rubber plays for an hour until 3hrs 23 before handing over to best man Ivan who gets involved with some funky house a cheeky 30 minute set up to 3hrs 53 mins before handing back over to Rubber who plays for another hour and 45mins going from house to drum and bass, progressive and then some soul and funk right to a 5am close!Very messy night but the party went wild, this should bring back some memories people, turn it up!

What a crazy and amazing few months it has been since my summer Ibiza trip. My son was born in October and I've been hanging out with the little guy so I have not had time for much music. However I've had a few days spare before I travel to join him in South Africa for Christmas and i have managed to knock together a 3 hr 15min eclectic house mix for your music pleasure. I handpicked 39 of my favourite tunes from the last 5 months that span a variety of sub genres of house music including deep, soulful, indie dance, garagy, nu disco, french, electronica, old skool and progressive. They are interlaced in a way that should take you on a musical journey. Personally this is what i would like to listen to at Salinas in Ibiza towards the end of a day on the beach. For those in Dubai, SA or anyway sunny this is an ideal mix to play while outdoors with a few cold ones and imagine you are Salinas, if you in colder climes, wrap up warm and pretend it is warm and you are on the beach! Either way, turn it the fook up and

A 3 hour mix of progressive house tunes from artists like Nick Warren, Jaytech, Ad Brown, Above & Beyond, Ben Coda, Steve Haines, Pryda, Jeremy Olander, Max Freegrant and Sonic Element. Turn it up!

Recorded live from Claude Von Stroke's San Francisco record label's party named Dirtybird on Thursday 25th July 2013 in the rapidly becoming legendary club Sankeys located on the White Isle - Ibiza. When i was at uni Sankeys was just taking over from the fading Hacienda as Manchesters main club. In recent years Warehouse Project has assumed that mantle while Sankeys closed and put all its resources and efforts into its Ibizan venture. Nestled in the heart of Playa Den Bossa close to Space and Ushuaia, Sankeys has been going from strength to strength since it opened it's door these last 3 yrs. Sankey's has already built a reputation for packed out crowds and an electric atmosphere with reviews saying that the atmosphere inside feels like a closing party carnival every night. It sure felt like it was a closing party crowd when i played there last week! My set was pitched as a perfect foil to the dirtybird residents Justin Martin, Catz n Dogz, Claude Von Stroke, etc. in the main room. Dirtybird is a tech funk r
