Altiplano Sets…
The Altiplano night brought something new to Liverpool with the Idjut Boys, Kelvin Andrews and Chris Barker all weaving together to create a different soundtrack for the city. I went along and was really impressed with the vibe and general feeling of what they are trying to create, and of course, the excellent music. I admit I didn’t fully understand the sub-text at first – “the age of the club is dead, the age of the party is here”, but on walking into the room in the Novas centre, it soon became clear that this was not really a club night at all, at least, certainly not in the traditional sense. It worked perfectly. I would give a more in depth review but due to other commitments I couldn’t stay all night. I will be staying all night next time.
Because of the great music and what with it being in Liverpool, I asked Altiplano if I could host the mixes each month on this blog, and they kindly agreed. Sometimes you cannot record certain dj’s who play on the night and this rings true of the Idjut Boys, and as Kelvin played with them – the only mix available from the first one is the opening mix from Chris Barker. Its brilliant though, and more than shows the true eclectic vibe…
Big thanks to Paula, Kelvin, Chris, Phil and all others connected with the night, and I hope the next one on August 15th with Balearic Mike is as good as this one. Ill post more details about that nearer the time.
Cheers Stu,
Have listened to this and it’s a really eclectic mix, I hope people to continue to show their support for this night and it goes well – and of course I hope to make it down myself and join in too!
This is a wonderful mix indeed… will get much rotation! Thanks very much for sharing.
Can someone ID the tune at 13 minutes?

Nice mix. James Mason ‘I want your love’ classic.
