Dunfyboy's Chemical Brothers Mix
(104 downloads)Right click to download this 77 minute Dunfyboy mix
I'm sure there's quite afew people who have done a mix of their favourite Chemical Brothers tunes. Here's mine. Like my Fatboy Slim mix, I knocked this up a while ago and, as I wasn't that keen on the last album, I never bothered to update it.
I remember hearing the Chems on Tom Wilson's Bonus Beats radio show back in the mid 90s (they may have even still been called The Dust Brothers at the time) and I just thought "WTF is this?" Their sound was so different from anything else I'd heard. Obviously, I really thought "What the fuck is this?" because back then I didn't know WTF "WTF" stood for :) There seemed to be new, fresh sound revolutions happening all the time back then. Am I getting old or was music better back then? God, I sound like my dad.
Anyway, enjoy, and comments please.

Remember to check out www.dunfyboysmixes.blogspot.com for future mixes. There's a couple on there already and more on the way.
I've been listening to dance music for ever (at least, it feels like it) and mixing for the past 15 years. It was hearing Eon's "Spice" that really hooked me, followed by other classics like Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash" and Orbital's "Chime". After that, I fell in love with the breakbeat-driven rave tunes like The Prodigy's "Your Love" and Urban Shakedown's "Some Justice". This lead onto early English happy hardcore and the harder sounds coming out of Scotland & Holland.
In the second half of the 90s, happy hardcore got cheesier and all hardcore seemed to be turning into gabba. The countless remixes meant there wasn't really anything new for me and I pretty much gave up on hardcore in 97/98, turning to trance instead. Luckily, I'd gotten into big beat two or three years before that so, plenty of breakbeats there to keep me happy. This lead onto nu-school breaks and the dirty, heavier sound of electro house has got me back into house.
So far, my mixes have been download in the UK, Ireland, Finland, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Serbia, Greece, Morocco, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Brasil, Argentina, Canada, the US and Mexico. It's kinda weird to think of all the little zeroes and ones from my computer spreading all over the world and (hopefully) making a few people smile along the way. If your country's missing from the list, let me know.
After a little Googling, I see my podcast has been mentioned on a few sites and forums, no thanks to me. Thanks to all who have spread the word.
I hate to sound like an attention whore, but it takes time to create and upload these mixes (not to mention make the artwork) so if you download a mix or sign up to my rss feed below, please take the time to leave a comment. It's good to hear from you and find out what you think of the mixes here.
Now, get downloading.
