  • DJ Pogo Funk Mix

    I saw DJ Pogo at some music expo thing when I was about 17, and just starting to learn how to scratch, on a pair of belt drives (trying to copy what DJ SY, happy hardcore DJ mainly, was doing on this 3 cd, house, jungle and hardcore, compil…ation), I saw him doing his thing and was blown away, asked him what record he was scratching over, Toasted marshmallow Breaks. I came back and found that seeing someone do it first hand had helped me along enormously, I guess correlating the sounds I was hearing with what was going on with the fader and record movements. Suddenly i was ‘getting it’. I searched in various record shops for that record, to no avail, until I found in Virgin ‘The Breaks’ by none other than DJ Pogo. “Sweet, loads of hiphop beats to scratch over” I thought… I bought it, got it home and was a bit disappointed to find that it was a load of old songs. I recorded it to minidisc, as I did at the time, planning to take it back and swap it for something else. Luckily I didn’t, and instead realised where all these ‘hiphop beats’ I’d been after actually came from. So yeah, double thanks to Pogo for getting me scratching, and getting me into funk..

    (I got Toasted Marshmallow Breaks a couple of years back..)

    True Story.

  • ‘Gotta Pull My Finger out’ Mix for Cambridge 105 fm

    Okee dokes, so this was supposed to be my UK/Cambridge special, but due to my finger being firmly jammed in, I didn’t get all the interviews and tracks etc that I wanted, so that’ll have to wait for the next time I’m afraid.. However, it’s jam packed full of great tunes as always, with stuff from Suave Debonair, Crookram, and a guest minimix from Cambridge Legend, Chris MacGroove..

    Check it out!
