cheers for posting bong!
the idea behind this was on the big chill forum - listen to the mix without looking at the tracklist and see how many you can guess! It went down well there - so see if you can get a few. If not, just have a listen - its pretty varied stuff.
That was great, apart from “Brazilian Love Affair”, which I’m, erm, not too keen on , but which was one of only two tunes I recognised, the other being “If Only I Could”, I also recognised Aswad but couldn’t name the tune. Smileys don’t seem to be working today.
I went ga ga for the r vincent.I must pick that up.I knew the conti,troublefunk,ap project,wagon christ,photek(yay!),aswad & g duke.Surprised I didn’t know maha orch.I guess I spend too much time playing my enormous zappa collection.
A wonderful experience & thanks for the mystery part.Normally,I’d prefer a playlist upfront.
Now that I think of it,tho.Most b00mb0x mixes I’d play from seeing the name.Lenodd carries weight!
here’s the tracklist for those not arsed about the mystery element:
0.00 BMEx – Appolonia
4.26 Bill Conti – Reflections
7.16 100% Pure Poison – Windy C
10.59 Roland Vincent – LSD Party
13.53 Paul Gonsalves Quartet - Boom Jackie boom chick
17.11 Tek 9 – We’re getting down
20.13 Tunji Oyelana & the benders – Ifa
22.39 Troublefunk – Troublefunk express
24.25 Alan Parsons Project – Mammagamma
26.07 Ralph Macdonald – The path
30.33 Wagon Christ – Shadows
32.22 Kenny Larkin – Hello
33.45 Sydney Youngblood – If only I could
36.37 Blame – Revival
42.42 Photek – Rings around Saturn
49.24 Aswad – Warrior Dub
53.27 George Duke – Brazilian love affair
61.27 Mahavishnu Orchestra – Planetary Citizen
Well, you can mark me down for Blame, Photek, Wagon Christ and Sasha but the rest was all new to me. Nice and varied mix mate, really enjoyed the eclectiness (!) of it. Got that NME Good to Go soundtrack Go Go album that’s got some Trouble Funk on it. Back in the day when Go Go was the next big thing…Must dig it out sometime. cheers hp :D
swamp : well, play iz 26 & feed iz 4. so thats deffo 30
matrix : back to zero... let's just assume only 1000 of those downloads were real hehe
matrix : no idea where the links to my mix are coming from... so i've renamed the mix
Der DiskothekerTM : Thanx bong!
bong : corrected
Der DiskothekerTM : dear ops, there is a mistake in the artists list of My House Is Built Of Rock.: the name is Alan Vega, not Aöan ... big thanks if you could correct it
AbeTwist : Still it looks cool, 1215 dl's Hate the fact that MJ's dead by the way, came as sort of a shock
matrix : not guilty, m'lord.
Ken Masters : Michael Jackson RIP
swamp : itz not d/ls. theres bin a direct link posted somewheres, mayb several. so peeps iz klikin on the link repeatedly cos it wont werk. in reality, itz prob around the 50 d/l mark
Der DiskothekerTM : this is more than a hit, this is a miracle: more tham 1.000 downloads in a day on matrix' actual mix!
AbeTwist : wow, that was a fast upload!
swamp : ...promises, promises...
wyse : @Warvadal I've got a tracklist somewhere. I'll find it and upload.
bong : i think the recent database problems caused a flux with people not being able to view the site properly, which in turn would probably have had a knock on effect with the lack of downloads experienced for that 2 week period.. the rest? who knows!
ambientfusion : new mix in the works... been a while. hopefully have it uploaded soon.
Der DiskothekerTM : The box remains mysterious to me. Sometimes a mix runs to some hundreds of downloads in ten days, sometimes it's only a slow dropping even though there is no difference in quality. I'm participating since more than one year now and still don't understand how it works... Nevertheless big thanks to all the mixers who make me puzzle about this question!
Warvadal : @Mr. Wyse. I see you have a mix upload. Do you have a cover and/or tradklist to go with it? I will wait to post it until I hear from you. Peace.
bong : cheers for the fixes naz.. bmbx works great again.. Hurrah!
naz : welcome back
ihou : A Soulful house mix back from 2007 coming on it's way Cheers Mates!
matrix : will do
Boogie Maggoo : If it's not too difficult could you update my mix with the new version? Thx
bong : fair to middlin' thanks useo
useo8 : lo all how ya been?
bong : nice one
shiningsteve : cheers for the tip bong, sent them a mix, should be up there soon
bong : hello all.. just a message to say that the internet radio station, dance biscuit, are wondering if anyone here would like to get involved within their schedule. here's the thread.. «link» don't miss out
bong : well in Max..
Max : Hey guys! Still enjoying the tapes for four years now! Keep it up!
Warvadal : @DJtec. I had some problems with your back cover. Had to resize it (too big). + I don't know if that's the way you wanted it to look (sideways), but that's how it was uploaded. Let me know. I'm out of town until sunday. Peace.
bong : oo ooo ooo ooo.rrrrrrrrrrrr e
dj readybreak : Cheers for the upload peeps, enjoy!
bong : cheers for the headsup
bong : ok. the mix is now vepiks but the comments are still wrong.. will try and see if this can be rectified

Thank Mr.L for a totally groovy mix !
Well nice. Funky as a box of funky things, actually.
Tracklist, schmacklist !!
Lovely stuff.
July 1st, 2007 at 9:30 am
Why I outta… Just read the tracklist on the cover before reading the comment.
Guess this means I miss out on the mystery element though.
It’ll be good to hear track one again - I’d totally forgotten this existed. It’s something to do with a famous prog house DJ right?
July 1st, 2007 at 3:01 pm
i need to dig out me troublefunk live mini album … cheers len
July 2nd, 2007 at 5:57 pm

if you like roland vincent check out the ’shake sauvage’ comp from which it came - all cool french movie soundtracks.
Cheers for the nice words and glad you enjoyed!

Possibly my fav mix of yours Len. Really enjoyed the variety of the tunes and they all sat nicely together.
Didn’t know many of them, really enjoyed the African and D&B tunes.
July 10th, 2007 at 10:11 am
cheers stu - if you like the african tunes you should buy the nigeria 70 comp - full of excellent afrobeat stuff
July 10th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
Enjoyed this one, but have to confess to skipping some of the jazzier / funkier stuff today (probably just not in the mood for it).
I don’t think I’d have done very well if I had attempted to guess. Probably just BMEx and Sidney Youngblood (from my copy of Now Dance 91).

Lovely stuff this Len. Most of it was a mystery
Really enjoyed it though and gave it several listens.
