Back in 2002 I was asked by a friend of mine called Freejack to record a mix for his Saturday night /Sunday morning radio show called “The Acid Test” The brief was too make a 30 minute mix, and it wasn’t allowed to have any swearing in it.

At the time this was recorded I was living with a few friends in Preston, all of us were DJ’s, we had George Thompson, owner and resident of feel, Chris Hunter who was working for Shaboom records in Blackpool, and his partner in Crime Jim Damentalist, they also used to DJ together at the time, in the back room at Feel. Why am I telling you who the hell i was living with, well when you put that many DJ’s in a house together you don’t need a dining room. You need a 6 Deck 4 CDJ DJ room, all wired into an old skool mac. Making for many hours of mindless “jamming” and noise making as many people tried to DJ at the same time.

It was a haven for making mix tapes though, and one afternoon i set about composing 30 mins worth of tunes and acapellas and this is what It came out with, I can’t find a track listing for it. But it’s very housey, and its hosue tunes that were about in 2002 (obviously)

There’s some good acapella bits in it, but my god you can tell this was all done on vinyl…
