I recorded this mix for Symbiosis, an Aussie podcast site, after doing some promo stuff with Simon (who runs it) when I was out there. They have a lot of good quality mixes too, so check them out. Starts of with mellower vibes, through some techno-sounds then builds up towards more dancefloor stuff later on. Mixed on 2x1210s with Serato.

Having had a bunch of top DJs, including Rustie, Joker, Gatekeeper and Ital Tek down at the Oscillate night in Glasgow, the Cap’n ventured into some podcastery in the summer of ’08, complete with cheesy voice idents and everything! Quality. Keep it foolish…

This mix was performed live at the Heavyweight night in Newcastle’s ‘The Other Rooms’ in August 2007. Unfortunately, reload of the last track was cut off from the recording, so you don’t even get the proper vocal drop… That’s the problem with wheeling-up a laptop! Never heard anywhere before this website went up (unless you were there…).

I did this mix for Ben UFO/the Hessle crew’s Ruffage Sessions radio show on SubFM in 2007. Technically, it should be in the radio section I suppose, but as it was a pre-recorded mix, and I have totally lost the recording of the live broadcast, it seems to fit better in here. Another one “mixed” in Ableton I think. I wish I had sorted myself with serato a bit sooner!

This mix was recorded for the Scottish RaveCave site, back in 2007. “Mixed” in Ableton if I recall. What a dastardly cheat I was!
