Episode 16 - Lost Gems [1-A]

Nic Hine — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:27:34 GMT

whilst recording my vinyls it hit me how many records were actually forgotten about in the Leftfield Library, as if they had been archived never to be touched again! thought it would be pretty cool to do a mix featuring the highlights of each section of the collection (which is arranged by artist, producer or sometimes label) and revive some of the forgotten gems hidden away. first up - '1' through to 'A'.

Episode 15 - Reformat

Nic Hine — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:00:11 GMT

it's happened. i have fallen to the digital revolution. my status as a vinyl jock is no longer, but from the short time spent acquainting myself with the new systems of work i think the uprising didn't come soon enough! sure you lose the 'authenticity' of DJ'ing to a degree when you're not flicking through your record box when playing out, but guess what - it's 2009.
for me personally this opens up a lot of doors in terms of tune selection, originality & accessibility to parts of my music collection which isn't on vinyl.

¬ The Dining Rooms - Thank You? (Skwerl's 'Ungrateful Love' mix)
¬ Kay Suzuki - Something To Say
¬ Deyampert - Held Him First

Episode 14 - Reach & Spin 03 (Summer Liming)

Nic Hine — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:21:16 GMT

a light hearted compilation of summery, soulful House music.. feels like there were 101 mistakes in the mix at the time, but hey life goes on!

hopefully you will enjoy the selection of songs, including my first ever work on a production level - a remix of Lauryn Hill's 'Ex Factor'. the original is obviously from around a decade ago, but an overlooked classic in my opinion - this is a completely different take on it. it's only a demo, not been mixed down (or mastered in the slightest!) & is more of a rough idea as opposed to a finished product so please don't be too harsh! :]

this is the first mix i've put together since the passing of MJ, two wicked tracks from his 'Off The Wall' album on vinyl are included. can't be argued that the man was good at what he done, shame the trials & tribulations of the last 10 years detracted from that.

closing note for this week: SOUL SANCTUARY @ Gramaphone - Sat 18th July
- if you're from the London area, would be good to catch you down there at the new venue. always great vibes, with some excellent music & genuine people - 60-62 Commercial Street, E1 6LT (8pm - 3am).

¬ Elements Of Life feat. Lisa Fischer & Cindy Mizelle - Into My Life (Nic Hine edit)
¬ Irfane feat. Outlines - Just A Lil' Lovin [interlude]
¬ Michael Jackson - I Can't Help It
