Comments: DJ Myles was born on 27th February 1975 in Glasgow, Scotland in the UK. One of four brothers, Myles grew up on electronic music from an early age starting with acid house & techno before eventually moving across the spectrum to his current and most permanent passion – upfront soulful and vocal house music.

From Glasgow, Myles moved to various locations in the south of the UK and has been living in London for the past 4 years.

Speaking on his current musical influences, “DJ’s who inspire me include the legendary Danny Rampling, Joey Negro AKA Dave Lee, Mark Doyle [Hedkandi], Paul Farris, Erick Morillo, Masters At Work.” On record labels, “I try not to tie myself to any particular label as there is so much good music out there at the moment however, if I were to name them I guess I would have to mention Soulfuric and Subliminal Records in the US and Defected in the UK to name but a few – there’s a lot of quality house music coming from these stables.”

Myles also contributes to a number of music based websites, submitting reviews for the “Jjaz Project” and “Djing On The Net”.

Despite having a played at a number of locations in West London, DJ Myles is now looking for a more permanent residency and forum to spread the soulful house message.

Comments: In a distant galaxy, many light years away, flourished a community of planentary systems known as the “Electro Mashup Funk Federation”. They spread funk and happiness to their subjects.All was well, until a sinister society know as “The Hardcore Republic” came into existence. It came to pass that the growing conflict that developed between these two orders erupted into an acoustic war of galactic proportions.

The “Hardcore Republic”, aided by the “Happy House & Trance Confederation” gained control and subjected all of those in its path to mind numbing beats and cheesy tunes of aural torture.

It seemed that all was lost and that the federation would be destroyed. Until a mighty mashup resistance developed, equipped with its awesome weapons of acoustic justice.

This spankadelic resistance was soon to be know to all as the legendary “DEEP DISCO FORCE”.

With the FTP server seemingly down for some time, this seems like a good time to note there are other ways to get the mixes on this site other then the direct links. simply note the name of the file any link on this site is pointing to, and grab it via any of these ways:

AIM – Username is b00mb0t – you can highlight ‘him’ and grab whatever files you need. don’t try to chat with ‘him’ as he is simply a file transfer bot and won’t respond.

IRC – server irc.ctcp.net – channel #nusounds – if you are aquainted with IRC, there is a filetrading bot in #nusounds named |b00mb0t| where you can aquire any mix you see on the site.

the ftp server will hopefully be back up soon and will also hopefully be a LOT more stable soon (i’m upgrading the machine to xp). Streams of the latest mixes continue to be available.

Comments: The love child of a relative of a famous politician and a German chambermaid. Andreas grew up in relative poverty deep in the South East of Russia. Still following me? Nope? Good.

Introduced to this craze known as “bootlegging”, “bastard pop” and “mashups”, way back in mid 2002, A few ideas buzzed about but, without the musical talent, Andreas decided to ask his new mates on the GYBO board if they would do it for him. They all told him to get lost, so he had no alternative but to give up his fruitless ambition to hear one of his ideas on his stereo.

Finally persuaded to have a go himself, he unleashed hell by creating the most uninspiring bootleg known to ma: two unknown album tracks from Atomic kitten and Moby. The response was phenomenal, with comments ranging from, “technically it works” to, “lacking subversive intent”. It was enough to get poor Churchill hooked on this artform and decided to try his hand at a more interesting bootleg.

Unfortunately, he then came up with something using a rap vocal, which as he soon learned isn’t that hard because it hardly has any key changes, blah blah blah. Anyway, things did seem to be getting slightly better, with “King of Woolworths vs. Tweet” even provoking a few good words from McSleazy and GHP and a few others followed which continued on the chilled theme.

“Foolish Sonnet” soon followed and the people went mad. One person suggested it made Ashanti’s vocals more heartfelt. The Verve vocals had people split in two camps. Some liked it, some wished it didn’t have any Verve vocals. It seems it was this moment that some people actually thought Churchill might become a good bootlegger. They were wrong.

The rate of production slowed somewhat and “Bug-a-lo” followed. It worked, but as an “RnB vs. RnB” boot, it didn’t get that much acclaim. It did however go on to be hijacked by Kiss FM mixers and also had a video made for it for digital channels Kiss TV and Q TV.

A few months later, Churchill aimed his next bootleg at the dance floor by coming up with perhaps one of the best ”Work It” bootlegs around, which even made it into a Strictly Kev DJ set at Bastard, and followed bug a lo onto the TV! It also gave Churchill his first appearance on XFM’s The Remix.

Churchill then took a break from it all resting his bootleggery, honing his skills with the occasional unreleased bootleg set and doing other unrelated stuff, before returning with his latest effort, “Cleaning Out My Fly”. The reaction, despite the use of Eminem was that Churchill seemed to be improving

Again it went quiet until a sudden change of direction. Churchill discovered drum loops and had a bit of fun remixing “Del Shannon – Runaway” and started wanting to drop a drum loop in everything he did from then on.

We end our story with a DJ appearance at Bastard where he played a few new unreleased tracks, gained a rather hardcore fan (stalker), got his second airing on XFM, played at West Of Bastard, had a break from the scene, came back and did a “Cease And Desist Night”, continued to make more posts on the GYBO board than anyone else and still has yet to make another good bootleg.

Comments: One half of the electonic music outfit [CTRL], originally combined to work on an Orbital remix and kinda never split. Have done a couple of ‘back to back’ DJ mixes at parties with some clever software an a barrel full of loops. This mix was the result of online broadcasting tests that ran for several months in 2002/2003. Since then, more original music has been composed by [CTRL], Dog has also completed a semi-serious bootleg ‘Voodoo Initiation’ and was also one half of the team who brought you ‘Gay Muppet Bar’.
