New Mix – The Stool on the Hill

Sunday Times! is an amazing lil party that takes place up the hill on Barrack St in Cork City, here in Ireland. It’s a unique  party where the Djs get to do their thing  from  early in the evening while sat upon a wee bar stool, chopping and changing their musical selections at will, gently easying the crowd into a full on dance off by nights end. I’ve played it a couple of times along with Lerosa and  I’ve rarely had more fun playing music. John and Barry put a lot of effort into making everything right and anyone who’s attended or played really appreciates this.

The mix is more focused on the early evening before it gets too rowdy, not too much mixing, nothing toooo uptempo and so on. So I don’t get berated for not mentioning it, I was informed that the first track had to be on it by Dean from Tr One. I didn’t own the record at the time of playing down there last summer but another friend had bought the 7inch the day before in a flea market and I took it off him to start  my set. So, after a bit of discoging, I put this mix together.

The mix can be found over here on the guys website. T/list is below. Enjoy.

    I have to say that the set you guys played that day/night was possibly one of the most amazing sets of records I’m ever likely to hear. This mix captures that vibe nicely….ST is such a special night!

    One of my faves of the last 12 months. playing it pitched down to -8 gives its a bit of a different tone, i found. ta for listening.

    I picked up that EMAK 12′, superb record havnt got the double pack but have been chasing it. Epic day that last one with Kenny and Leo, had such a great weekend seeing the Kronos Quartet, Steve Reich etc in Cork then lowering the tone with fist pumping dancing to those two.
