There are days when the inspiration is there, and other days when you close everything down and walk away in disgust. I know what you mean about judging you're own work, but it's good to be creative regardless of the standard. The more creative you are, the higher the standard you're going to judge your creations.

So easy to spend all your money on vinyl! I bought thousand of 12s in the 90's ranging from the rave stuff (none of your commercial 2 Unlimited bollocks here!) through to the progressive house tunes and early trance in the later 90s with a smattering of drum & bass too. If it was good music, it was good. I didn't care about genre's or anything like that. If I liked it, I bought it.
At the time I lived in Portsmouth, and we had a couple of decent shops - JellyJam and Domino records, and there was a real vibe in there. They knew you and you knew them... and thats how the scene was generally. We travelled all over the south coast and up to London to club and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Course in the end I had to make a choice about family, career etc, which won out, and I sold most of my vinyl (one of the most heartbreaking periods of my life!) but it was worth it.
Now I listen to music all the time, buy house from time to time, and DJ to myself last thing at night! It still makes me happy.
Oh, and your comment on Dmitri from Paris... his mix of Lost In Music is one of my recent favourites. You can imagine dropping it in a club and the place going off!
Love DFP's rework of Lost In Music too! Also his rework of Norma jean Wright's - Saturday. Epic!
You must have made a fortune from selling that underground dance collection. Some early house, D&B, Jungle, and hardcore swaps hands for tasty sums.
I sold my collection as well, but have since amassed an even bigger MP3 collection
The memories of going out at the weekend to by new clothes, records, and then clubbing were awesome. But then, as you say, work and family kill it dead. Sitting in watching Noels house party and the generation game
For all you 80s funkers out there
Cheers. Was always about that early evening, or early morning vibe.
Absolutely unreal track on Pete Tong's radio 1 show friday, one for the ages:
The producer has a decent set on YouTube from Ukraine too:

cheers. Been listening to it every time I get in the car this week. Some lovely tunes. Got me appetite back, been looking at new controllers
Can understand that. Reckon it'd be a cracking mix to have belting out of the speakers on a decent day.
Just clocked your user name
I was listening to your sunset house mix last week. Reminded me of sitting on the terrace at Mambo, that was the good life
Last time I was in Ibiza was 1994, but yeah, that was the vibe I was looking for. God, just saying that makes me realise how old I am! Still, never too old for good music right?
I played at a house party on Saturday with some guys who I used to do some nights with around London and Kent. Turns out their kids are going to Ibiza this summer. Where did that time go????
Another summer-y sunset-y mix for you all. Hope you enjoy

Watching as Christopher Waltz compliments Jamie Fox for gunning down Don Johnson.

Perfecto
Do you pay WWII?
I'm okay on that one
Not sure who it is but min. 38 is epic
I can imagine its a good mix when floating! The homegrown sounds fun.
The track in the 38th minute is the Sebastien Leger & Laura Barbick track. Seb Leger has been on fire for the last year or so creating some really nice tracks
New one for you lovely people

Anyone playing decks have a recommendation for a soundcard/audio interface/whatever it is I need to be able to record a vinyl set? My mixer has a dedicated record out connection, if that helps.

What are you interfacing in to? Pc? Laptop? Something else?
Laptop.
Great label
What mixer do you have? Some of the modern mixers have straight usb out as they have soundcards onboard, and that works perfectly. If it’s just traditional phono out then at the more budget end is a Behringer UCA202, or iRig Stream for something simpler if you want to spend a bit more.
I have a Xone 23(not 23C), which unfortunately doesn't have an onboard soundcard, I ended up picking up a UCA222 on Friday, thanks though!
There was a great techno set by Palestinian DJ Sama' Abdulhadi on Radio 1 last night.
I don't think we can embed BBC Sounds on here, so here's the link.

A mix I knocked together over the weekend. Will post the tracklist later if anyone interested
Good stuff.
Riccardo Ferri done a cool thing with VR:

Used to absolutely love Key103 back in the day for the hardcore hour. Get your tapes ready...
One of the best sets I've seen this year...
This just popped up on a YouTube mix for me. Haven't heard this in years. Anyone remember this seminal advert for the 303? @Raoul, thinking you might...
This was huge in the UK.
