Ultra Dirt 11 continues the Ultra Dirt journey with another mix packed full of driving house beats and a darker club sound.

Ibiza! is a mix inspired by the sounds I heard while visiting Ibiza in 2009.
It is a little different from my usual style, but after spending time on the island and hearing some incredible music in the clubs and bars, I felt inspired to put together a mix capturing some of that Ibiza house vibe.
Expect uplifting house tracks, big melodies and the kind of energy that made Ibiza such a special place for dance music.

The fourth instalment of the Fridays @ Via mix series, inspired by my Friday night residency at Via Fossa on Canal Street in Manchester.
This mix reflects the kind of journey I would often take the dancefloor on during the night. It begins with funky house grooves before building into some dirtier, late night house sounds as the energy picks up.
Running at around 1 hour 15 minutes, it captures the atmosphere of a busy Friday night in the Manchester Village.

Blue Tomato Madrid was recorded in 2009 as a promotional mix for a planned Blue Tomato event in Madrid.
The mix was created to showcase the soundtrack and atmosphere of the club night ahead of the event, featuring the kind of uplifting house music that Blue Tomato had become known for. Although the Madrid event ultimately never went ahead, the mix was completed and has remained tucked away in my archive ever since.
Rather than let it stay unheard, I thought it deserved to be shared as part of my podcast collection.
Expect a blend of funky, vocal and commercial house, capturing the sound I was playing at the time.
If you enjoy the mix, please feel free to share it.
Thanks for listening and for your support.
