BBC 6 radio end of 2011 blog show

Tomorrow, the 30th of December, is the first ever Now Playing 2012 Blog Preview on BBC 6 Music.

Below is a list of the tracks and blogs who have contributed. They have included my recommendation, Brenmar (video below).

The show starts at 7pm GMT tomorrow (Friday 30) and will also feature contributions from the presenter Tom Robinson, and 6 Music listeners.

Some of these tracks I don't know. They originally asked me to contribute artists who would blow up in 2012. With that in mind, I'm not sure about Garbage, who were already big. Though I like the track. I also like the D/R/U/G/S track though it's not the best from that genre in my view.

You will be able to stream the show afterwards also at the BBC site by clicking on the Radio and Radio 6 and then looking for the show.

Chris Low - Trax Bedroom Mix - jackin house

Chris Low has given me a number of excellent mixtapes and this is a mix he made himself.  It's a lot of stuff that you could find on Dance Mania or Trax records.  Very basic hard jackin early house.  He made it for a 91.5 WPRK radio in the US in 1996.  

Chris ran and DJd at a number of Scotland’s most successful club nights throughout the 1990s: SOMA, SKIDOO, PHUTURE JACKS, SEX BEAT, XS and the legendary AHOY! ferry-boat all-nighters. Chris also guested at the aftershow parties on Kraftwerk’s 1991 tour as well as having DJd throughout Europe, America and Tokyo.   Here are a few pics which Chris sent me.

 

Chris tried to remember the track listing for this  mix though in some places there are records mixed that seem to be white labels or disappeared. You can download both mix sides below as well as a few tracks from the mix.  I've included below a track from Steve Poindexter not in the mix, but which is incredible.

You can find Chris on Facebook here.
