Dunfyboy's Something A Little Different Mix
(156 downloads)Right click to download this 77 minute Dunfyboy mix
This mix came about after I was messing about with some old indie stuff (Stone Roses, The Soup Dragons, Primal Scream, Beats International) and grew from there.
It kind of goes all over the place but I quite like that. I'm particularly happy getting Magik Roundabout's "Everlasting Day" into a mix as it was a real favourite of mine back in the day, a great feel-good summer tune. It's the basis for the artwork for this podcast. I'm also pleased getting Jimi into a mix and I really like the way "Son Of A Preacher Man" mixes into "For What It's Worth". The "Springfield Effect", I guess you could call it. Simple things please simple minds.
Apologies for the obvious mixes ("He Got Game" into "For What It's Worth", 2 versions of "No Woman, No Cry") but at least I managed to avoid "Hits From The Bong" after "Son Of A Preacher Man".
You might recognise "Heartbeats" by José González from the Sony Bravia advert with the bouncing balls. It's mixed into 2 Deep's "Life Party". It was used in a Reebok advert in 1991/92. It's the one with a white line across the screen. It gets hurdled over, then it's a lane marker in a sprint, then it's the bar for the high jump, then it's the finishing tape in a race. I haven't explained it very well, but if you saw it all those years ago you would know what I'm on about.
Anyway, download, sit back and enjoy.

I'm going to upload a few of my beats and breaks mixes today. First up, my big beat mix (you know, the fun bit in between head-nodding trip hop and early nu-skool breaks, which took itself far too seriously). Turns into a bit of a Apollo 440-fest at the end, but hey, it's my mix. I can do what I like :-) Maybe I'll do a proper @440 mix one day.

I saw Dreadzone play at T In The Park back in '97. They spent the hour before their set flogging whistles to the crowd (£2 each if I remember right). Still got mine somewhere.

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.

Dunfyboy's Fatboy Slim Mix
(83 downloads)Right click to download this 79 minute Dunfyboy mix
I'm going to upload some of my big beat/breaks mixes, starting off with my Fatboy Slim mix. I'm sure you'll notice there's very little in the way of his recent stuff, partly because I recorded this mix a while ago and partly because he sucks now IMO.
Never mind "I'm #1 so why try harder", I don't think he tries at all these days. Anyway, here's my mix featuring 30 tracks from when he was great plus The Plump's remix of 303.
Enjoy, and comments welcome.

Dunfyboy's Trance Mix #6
(133 downloads)Right click to download this 79 minute Dunfyboy mix
Typically late, here's my 6th trance mix. It'll probably be my last trance mix for a while, though I am toying with the idea of a "chilled" trance mix (you know the sort of thing, those beatless remixes you sometimes find on the B-sides of 12"s).
I've also got a beatless version of "Strings Of Life" but I've never used it in a mix so I don't know how it will turn out. I've never used any of the beatless trance remixes either for that matter so it may not come about, but you never know.
I've got a few mixes i've already recorded as mp3s; big beat, breaks, eclectic stuff, even a mix featuring a load of 70s funk. I'll probably upload these before worrying about any more new mixes.
In the meantime, enjoy my trance mix #6.

My Profile
Dunfyboy
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.
