As I mentioned last time, these tunes were all hits in the dance charts and the proper charts that the big labels spend so much time and money rigging.

The exceptions that prove the rule are Flute On and Nightbird. I don't think either artist has ever dented the top 40, but I forgot to include them in the last mix.

Whilst I'm disproving the accuracy of the mix's title, I wouldn't call the last 3 tracks old school as they came out in 96, but I couldn't be arsed making a "Not Quite Old School Mix". 36 out of 39 isn't bad. Besides, I can do what I want. I'm god around here.

Enjoy

It's been a while since I've done any old school mixes. I've got another 2 or 3 planned and hope to get them up in the next week or so. I'd better, as the 80Gb PS3 is on order and I plan to lose at least the next couple of weeks of my life to it (£330 for the console, GTA4, MGS 4 & an HDMI cable, if you're interested).

I was going to do a follow up to my Classic House mix, posted back in January (it seems so long ago) but, as the next mix will have a more commercial sound, I've included some "breakthrough" tracks here, too. That's why this mix has some 80s house, a bit of acid, some "cut n paste" tracks, along with stuff that broke though to the mainstream (Top Of The Pops even!).

So, no Classic House Vol 2, just plain ol' Old School Mix Vol 1.

Enjoy.

Some of you might have notice the Blog link (up a bit, a bit more, now left a bit). The blog is to help promote the site and pretty much mirrors the podcast site. The big advantage is it's use of tags, so you can see all my Old School mixes together, or all my Hip Hop mixes or whatever. Check it out, see if you prefer the layout. In any case, all audio links point back to here, dunfyboysmixes.mypodcast.com.

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.
