Rubber Stamped Mixes

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

Lost in Ibiza is the only underground boat party in Ibiza. After a calamitous first season, Sankeys Ibiza was the surprise success story of 2012, with Steve Lawler and Solomun helping turn it into the most intelligent underground den on the White Isle. This year the Lost in Ibiza crew have teamed up with the legendary Claude VonStroke and his San Francisco Tech Funk "record label called "Dirtybird". The promotion is also called Dirtybird and it is held in Sankeys on Thursdays. Lost in Ibiza will host the Boutique room for their afterparty apres the boat and I have the privilege to be spinning some tunes for them in Sankeys at Dirtybird. Headlining is Justin Martin and Catz n Dogz. I wanted to do a pre Ibiza mix with a little sampler of some tunes that i think will be big in Ibiza this summer. Its nearly a 4 hour mix and is mainly deep house with a sprinkle of nu disco, tech house and the like. I hope it gets you in the mood for your summer holidays wherever that maybe and for me it has 100% got me in the mo

Fancy some sunshine sounds? this mix is pure soulful house goodness and is ideal for a summers day in the park, sitting by the pool or having a sundown cocktail. Strangely enough this is my first soulful house mix and this vibe takes me back to early 2000s and the era that was Rowsley Lodge, House FM, Unknown FM, Camden Palace, Bobby and Steve Soul Heaven, movers and shakers in bond street, the buffalo bar in highbury corner and everything else soulful house related. Mr Mole, Mundis, Han, Jenwah, Stace, Dee, Rob, Sam, Tracy Luv, Matt Nash, Piglet, Olner and the man himself Mikey Matt you all knows it!The music on this podcast is what i call proper house music and while it reminds me of that era because every club or bar you went to was playing soulful tunes, these tunes i have used are fresh. The inspiration and many of the tunes on this mix comes from my man Choci. One of the pioneers of electronic music in London in the late 80s and early 90s for years Choci sold vinyls from his west end Choci's Chewns rec

The full recording of my 8hr set from the British Polo in Dubai. All in one MP3 file for your listening pleasure..... Check the size of the sound system (see attached photo) it was 12K of sound enough to rock a small festival stage. It was pumping!

Part II of my mix from the British Polo on a huge outdoor 12k soundsystem. The next 3 hrs of the mix, leaves behind the nu disco and deeper house and moves into a more garagy vibe. Then in tune with the crowd, I finish with a selection of mainroom house bangers ranging from proper DJ Dan style uptempo classic house music to some more commercial indie dance remixes including tunes like Say My Name - Florence and the Machine, Love Sensation - Loleatta Holloway, Bur Woo Hoo and Sunglasses at Night - Lissat and Voltaxx. The aim was to raise the roof off, well there was no roof, just stars but i smashed it anyway! Big Shout out to Barney who matched me on the Jim Beams all the way......

Part one takes you on a FIVE hour journey from 115 to 125bpm through deep house, indie dance and nu disco. The set was recorded live at the British Polo in Arabian Ranches Dubai. For the first hour or so the tunes supplied the backdrop for an after event drink but soon there was head nodding and people were slowly moving their feet, busting some slower shapes. After a couple of hours the whole place started grooving and thats when it went off. Musically the mix has a great flow and it seemed to work well for a more mixed crowd can typically be more commercial. I think this is why I only had one conversation all nightalong the lines of "can I make a suggestion? can you please play some Rihanna". The mix might be my best yet, from 2.5hrs in once they were dancing it felt like tune after tune after tune and the response from the crowd was electric. It will take a while to listen to but that's ok, turn it on, turn it UP, take your time and enjoy! a 5hr set is great for a car journey, great for a houseparty, gre

I kicked off the Sunstroke Pool Party live on the terrace of the Radisson Blu Hotel Media City for my mate Andrei and his Sunstroke Collective. My set was 1hr 45 of deeper warmup vibes to get the party started. The event was headlined by CN Williams who Norman Jay reckons is the best resident DJ in the UK. CN was broadcasting the event live on his Reelhouse Records radio feed. I had a brilliant day out. Big ups to Chants, Stan, Irene, Andrew, Dan,Omar, etc. who all came down to support me plus special guests Jan and Kate from Singapore. CN destroyed the dancefloor technically amazing and some upfront house music with old skool acapellas. Roll on the next one!

Rubber is back to his roots with a 3hr house set. It's taken a while but i can safely say it will be worth it.... I've had tunes in my beatport crate for 8+ months for this set!

It is deep and full of proper house music 114-126bpm with some very funky basslines and old skool piano riffs, etc. Huge shout out to the Goa crew - Cheese, Sween, Donna, George, Alistair, Chico, Pete and Thom, your musical aura's have inspired me loads!

Well this is longest gap i have had between mixes for 2 or 3 years. I was in London during Ramadan and summer holidays then since i have been back I have been busy playing and coordinating pre season training for my football team in Dubai the Assassins. Big thanks to those that asked where I had been if i was ok and why there was no music happening. It was the legend himself Mr Andy McDonald that inspired me to make this 100mins trance mix. Hope you enjoy!

This year seems to be fast disappearing as usual.... I'm off to Mr Murdoch's stag do in Portugal followed by 2 weeks in London next week. Thought it would be good to bring a summer mix with me.
