Do you Mardi Gras?

So last night was Mardi Gras in Sydney and my God the city gets wild!
We unfortunately missed most of the celebrations as we where down @ Tank keeping the back room buzzing with the PICNIC crew for everyone who needed to take a break from John Digweed's 3 hour rager!
When i arrived home i needed to do some serious chilling out before crashing, so i turned on rage which of course was doing its Mardi Gras thing! check this out>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

First Live mix>>>>>>>>>

This is something i have been wanting to get into for awhile but haven't quite had the technology..... until now! here is a live mix of a nice blend of Disco, funk, house, tech, electro basically as many genres as i could fit with out totally head fucking everyone!! this mix was done with 2 turntables (and a cdj for those tracks that i haven't been able to afford yet!). Its also only 80kbps cos im not that savvy with my new technology yet but it still sounds good.

Alright so i thought I'd drop a post with a selection of upbeat tracks im really feeling at the moment, these are a sample of what will be getting you moving on sat night...

Move your Body is an original house music anthem from 1986 Chicago. With Big bass, an infectious snare and some great keys... "Gotta have house music"

Move your Body (mix 2) - Marshall Jefferson

Wild Geese are 3 producers/dj's from London town, they have remixed both Friendly Fires and Metronomy and the remixes have been very well received! They are playing a host of great looking parties an clubs in there home town so be on the look out for those Wild Geese. This track is amazing 80s acid mind trip dance floor mayhem!!

Touch (Version) - Wild Geese

Ok to round it out here this is a Track from the amazing Evelyn "Champagne" King this 80s diva totally killed it!! i strongly suggest anyone that enjoys this track to dig through her discography (amazing), ECK was picked up (whilest working as a cleaner) by producer Theodore T and released her first album in 1977 on RCA Records which featured this track.
