House Mixes

The ’24 Hours in the Life of House: 87-97′ series is now 18 hours strong. Yeah we know some tracks are a little earlier than 87, but the influence they’ve had on this classic decade of house music is massive. So enjoy, crank it up and big luv’

Our gift to you

Just to say as all of the mixes on the site are recorded LIVE. If you really listen closely you may hear a few pushes and pulls. Hey you may even hear the odd mistake. They’re not recorded in a studio. They’re raw and they’re live. I can live with it.

As you can see the mixes can be downloaded so you can listen on the go.

Enjoy and feel free to share!

24 Hours in the Life of House: 87-97 – Mix 1

Dj Mike Leavy

The first mix focuses on some big all-time classic piano and vocal tracks from the late 80’s and early 90’s. Starting off as it means to go along with massive tracks from Candi Staton and Kariya…

Picking up the BPM until about 25 mins in we drop one of the more all-time Italian House piano classics, Moment In Time. Things continue to flow with some belters along the way before hitting the Todd Terry classic Dreams Of Santa Anna. Things go a bit ‘white label’ then as we drop a couple of rare ones in the Colonel Abrahams and Exposure remixes…

Then it’s right back at ya to take it home with some absolute anthems culminating in our friend Todd again, with one of the finest and most covered house tracks ever, Weekend.

Enjoy…
