Benchmark Salad (78:16)
The following mixes had stretches in them that I thought were excellent, so I stitched them together to make a personal CD I was unlikely to get tired of soon. I wasn’t intending to post it, but a few years later, the CD still does the business for the whole family so I thought I would share it. Salad or Moneyshot, if you’re out there and object to this just let me know and I will remove it. The already existing mix segments were:
Benchmark – Material Vol 2 (Tracks 2-11) a stunning sequence of tracks imo
Benchmark – Latin & Brazilian (Tracks 12-14)
Benchmark – Latin & Brazilian 2 (Tracks 15-20)
Salad – Mixed Salad (Tracks 21-35)
Salad – Mixed Salad 2 (Track 36)
DJ Moneyshot – Mother’s Ruin (Tracks 37-40) this is a great all-round mix if people aren’t already aware of it
All I had to do was add a track at the start to provide an intro.
Cheers and hope you enjoy.

Sounds like a plan. I think everyone has mixes where they go back and say, “well, that worked really well, I only wish I would have saved that bit for an ultimate mix”, and behold you’ve done it. Downloading…
Cheers matrix! Honoured. Been off the radar a while… but here’s me and a mate’s latest offering… http://soundcloud.com/cross-beat/cross-beat
Cheers as well Matrix! The tracks you chose are some of my favourite tracks as well. The Mothers Ruin mix is amazing and I’ve always enjoyed the salad mixes, so this is going to be a good download.
Quality mix of mixes… Nice 1 Matrix… Certainly 1 for these summer days… Cheers
Nicely done. It’s been raining all day, this brought out the sunshine. Peace.
nice one – dug out mothers ruin after hearing this – very good indeed! as for the benchmark salad – quality summer grooves 🙂
Mother’s Ruin was described as being “full of artists you would cross the street just to punch in the face”. Cliff Richard, Bruce Forsyth etc etc yet somehow he pulls it off with panache.
