Looking forward to this one dude. As I said last time, you’ve got your own style and there’s always a couple of parts that are absolutely inspired. I’ll report back soon, unless it turns out this one’s rubbish 😉
You have such great taste in a large range of music. This is like driving in my car, listening to all my favorite radio stations without pushing any buttons. Thank you for such great work.
I wasn’t sure how this would hang together, but overall I was well impressed. Great transitions between tunes and obviously some thought gone into it. 🙂
Thanks for the comments all, much appreciated. I must admit Stu I wasn’t sure if this would work, I feel some bits do and some bits don’t 😕 As usual though the criteria is, are these good tracks or not, and I think they are. Once I heard the Demis Roussos reference in Abigail’s Party and matched it with the peerless Ever and Never by Pilchard it all started flowing. That GHP track Essex Doves is the bollocks as well . cheers hp 😀
It’s not my usual kind of tracklisting, but I’m really enjoying it and will be giving it a few more listens. A sound piece of mixing… and lovely artwork too.
Yah…good cover.Slick,yet appealing.Good,fun mix here.The stuff I didn’t like still had entertainment value & I don’t mind squirming a bit as it highlights the pleasureable bits.
Interesting radio & chat parts.Weel-chosen & well-chosen as well.It plays very smoothly during the transitions so the flow is uninterrupted.You provide much to hold the attention. 😀 😀 😀 😀 8) 8) 8)
Only just got round to giving this one the proper treatment on my two-hour bus journey across town, some sensational music on here. I couldn’t for the life of me work out where I’d heard the edited part of Off The Record, it was driving me nuts until I got home and checked the tracklisting. I love those squealing jazz-funk epics you pull out every so often, no idea where you come across them but I think we’ve got some real common ground there, even though it’s not the kind of thing I’d normally listen to. That’s what I was saying about always getting somehting extra out of one of your mixes. I enjoyed the spoken sections too, humorous complement to what’s often quite breezy music already. Great stuff man.
Well, many thanks all, I really appreciate the comments. As I said before I really wasn’t sure about this one so your kind words have brought a smile to my cheesy face. Muchas gracias again 🙂
Kickin’ off to this mix with headphones on in public will make you feel cooler than you actually are, but don’t get carried away! It’s just the The Charlie Crocker rap introduction to this grooved out slice of chill. “They Shoot Horses Don’t They?” is a slowdancing number for the local watering hole, followed up by the tropical rhythms of Piya Bavari. This mix has more genre detours than New York rush hour traffic, yet maintains a solid cruise control of chillout versus funk.
Instruments hum and vocals moan, such as the heartstruck “On Days Like These”, into a more jazzed out territory. Unsure of whether this mix belongs in a 70’s gameshow, sitcom, or soap opera? Either way, it’s all good, especially when the Essex Doves “Go Home Productions” presents a spacey mashup of a classic rock tune and a modern instrumental by former Sub Sub act.
The mix continues its magician’s act of juggling genres before your very ears, with impassioned appearances by Isaac Hayes, followed with a lil funk and conversation topped with a acid-heavy jingle. “Ride A Wild Horse” playfully helps close this diverse set, a song that is required disco listening.
After you finish listening to this mix, be sure to give yourself a good shake, maybe even a splash of water. You’ve been all over the genre map and have been given quite a musical workout — you have The Hidden Persuaders to thank for that. Your muscles may be sore now, but you’ll only be left with a stronger musical sense!
I must say, this is a fabuliouse mix! LOVE it! I’m sitting here in front of my computer doing my mechanical engineering with AutoCAD and sucking coffee while swaying in may chair! Lovely atmosphere this mix has. Just lovely! Great Job! The subtle dj announcements are a nice touch and they shoot horses don’t they.. what a great track! You know how those parties go…. one friend invites another and then another and before you know it you have 80 kids! Oh My!!! 😉
Can’t believe it took me so long to hear this. Great mix, right up my street.
I’ve used the Frankie Crocker intro in many of my mixes (see my back catalogue) so it felt strange hearing it on somebody else’s mix.
Love the mix as a whole – easy listening turned up a notch.
thanks Frankie, glad you caught up with it eventually, thought you might like. Some of that lounge/library/easy listening stuff from the 60/70s is class stuff, cheers hp 🙂

This pure freakin genius mate !!
Totally floats my boat. I love it, and will be re-visiting.
Probably helps that I’m somewhat of the old fart persuation. 😉
GOOD WORK !! 😀

That Essex Doves bootleg is the bollocks. Thought you had mixed that to start with; you would have got 10/10 just for that mix if you had done it!
Nah, you should be proud of this, it fits the bill that you intended it to fit.
some of the music made me skin creep.. but that was the intention.. hehe
class mix
“…just because a picture happens to be erotic, does not make it pornographic”
It’s not my usual kind of tracklisting, but I’m really enjoying it and will be giving it a few more listens. A sound piece of mixing… and lovely artwork too.

Fantastic! I’m speechless… if only it were higher than 128kbps.
Either way, thanks very much for such a great mix!
