Last Message 6 days, 6 hours ago- 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
- swamp : well, play iz 26 & feed iz 4. so thats deffo 30

But most of us want it

5. Chuck Brown - We Need some Money

Big thanks to King Megatrip for his help with samples and saving my sanity, to Si for his help with the artwork and to Lenodd, Al & Hande for their encouragement.

This is fantastico Mr Lovely - probably the best use of themed samples I’ve heard in a long time - so many highlights - …vision on? hehe… so much craft here …top work - can’t praise it enuf …now go and get a lottery ticket…!

Amazing! What a brilliant achievement collecting all these samples and what a perfect mix. A really precious quarter of an hour. By the way: I love your Musique Idiote mixes. Thank you for all that, Mr Lovely.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I’ve been sat on this for ages, and it had been driving me crazy, so I’m relieved that you liked it!
A while back I did a similar 15 minute mix about nuclear war called “How Much Time Do We Have” which you should also check if you liked this one.
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Excellent mix, very well put together. cheers hp
February 23rd, 2008 at 2:53 pm
haha - you’ve finally posted it!
this is great folks - tune in to the fall of capitalism! 
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Great mix! A neat idea and fantastically executed
I smiled at the family guy quote (and the rounders quote).
Nice one - off to check out “how much time do we have”
February 24th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Big Fun. Short, sweet and on the money. Now I’m on my way to check out “How Much Time Do We Have.”
Peace.

Mr Lovely, very lovely, pags
February 25th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Good work Mr. I like that a lot. I managed to do precisely no work whilst listening to it, which is a good sign as it had all my attention!
Who’d have thought you could be so cerebral eh? ;o)
February 26th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
nice project — well done.
for the record: I provided very few samples and anyone who knows me, knows that I wasn’t providing sanity! so your thanks were unnecessary.
great little mix here.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
nice one mr lovely… totally loved it
February 27th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Thanks for all the kind words, I’m glad you liked my mix.
I took S.A.T’s advice and bought a lottery ticket on Saturday and won!!! Only £10 though, but I guess having more money would have been a curse :o)
February 28th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
great stuff!
February 28th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Short but oh so sweet. Nice one!
Non a la societe capitalism.
March 3rd, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Really nice. Me likey.
More please ?
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Thanks Firestopper - no more for a while, I’m afraid, but check out my “How Much Time Do We Have” mix if you like this kinda thang.
And thanks also Edward - I wish I knew what it meant, but the sentiment sounds about right!
March 5th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Nice, particularly at the outset. Cracking array of samples, but I don’t think the denouement packs the punch of “How much time…” (which remains one of my all time favourite b0x mixes).
Thanks for the tunez

Really impressive use of samples mate, went down a storm.
Surprised that you didn’t include Barnett Strong ‘Money’ & Young Holt Unlimited ‘Aint There Something That Money Can’t Buy’ and used the sample from The Blues Brothers when they go and see the penguin… I was hoping that you’d end it with that sample. Would have been the icing on the cake.
In the immortal words of De La Soul on ‘Grind Date’ “money isn’t everything but everything makes me want it”………
March 7th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Thanks guys - I know what you mean about the ending. Perhaps if I’d hired Dangerscouse as a sample consultant I could have got that punch! Are you availble for my next project??
March 13th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Always available mate……can’t promise that I’ll be as inspired though
TBH you’ve doing a fuckin marvellous job without me, but it’s always fascinating what other people can think of when given the same theme.
