Ultra Dirt 9! | Gambo's Mad One

Ultra Dirt 9, Gambo’s Mad One, is a special mix in the Ultra Dirt series.

The name came from someone who started following the podcast after hearing the earlier Ultra Dirt mixes. Ben, better known by his nickname Gambo, became a regular listener and supporter of the series and over time turned into a good friend as well.

This mix was named after him and keeps the Ultra Dirt sound going strong, darker, dirtier house tracks with twisted basslines, driving beats and plenty of attitude.

By this point the series had built a strong following, bringing in a lot of new listeners who enjoyed the tougher side of house compared to the funkier mixes I was also releasing.

Uplifted! | Progressive House Mix

Uplifted! is a chilled mix featuring uplifting progressive house sounds.

This set brings together melodic house tracks with warm grooves, smooth builds and uplifting energy. It is a slightly more laid back style compared to some of my club mixes, making it perfect for relaxed listening while still keeping that progressive house drive.

Tonker! | Tonker Club Night Mix

This mix was recorded especially for the Tonker club night at The Eagle in Vauxhall, London, where I was playing on 27 February 2009.

Tonker was a well known night on the London gay club scene, created by DJ Tim Jones. Known for its high energy dancefloor and strong house music policy, the night attracted a loyal crowd and guest DJs from across the UK.

This mix reflects the kind of music that worked perfectly for the Tonker crowd, driving house tracks, big beats and plenty of dancefloor energy.

Ultra Dirt 7! | Dirty House Mix

Ultra Dirt 7 carries on the series with another dose of darker beats, filthy basslines and driving house rhythms.

The Ultra Dirt mixes had really taken on a life of their own by now, bringing in a different crowd and showing another side to my DJ style. This mix keeps that late-night, tougher club atmosphere running throughout.

Ultra Dirt 6! | Dirty House Mix

Ultra Dirt 6 takes the Ultra Dirt sound deeper into the darker side of house, with a mix full of heavier rhythms and twisted club tracks.

By this point, the series had built a strong following and was attracting listeners who wanted something tougher than the vocal and funky house sets I was also putting out. This one keeps that dirty house identity firmly in place.

Trance Sessions Vol. 1 | Uplifting Trance Mix

Although I'm best known for uplifting house, funky house and vocal house, every now and then I'd put together something a little different.

Recorded in 2008, Trance Sessions Vol. 1 steps away from my usual house music sound and into the world of uplifting and melodic trance. Featuring soaring breakdowns, powerful melodies and driving beats, this mix captures the style of trance that was filling dancefloors and festivals during the late 2000s.

This wasn't recorded for a club night or live event. It was simply a mix created through my genuine love of trance music. Looking back, it's a great reminder of how varied my music collection has always been and how different genres have influenced my DJing over the years.

If you've only ever heard my house mixes, this offers a different side to my musical journey while still keeping that uplifting energy flowing from start to finish.

Ultra Dirt 5! | Dirty House Mix
