Its nearly a quarter of a century of guest mixes…and thats not including all the special guest mixes, the Greg Wilson mixes, the Liverpool Disco Mixes, and the mixes I did myself. That, I am sure you will agree, is a fucking lot of mixes.

This one is from Australian Tyson Ballard, one of a trio of talented chaps who run my current favourite imprint, Voyeur Rhythm Records. A mix spanning 30 years of dance music all recorded from vinyl (including crackles and pops).

Turn it up really loud and make Tuesday interesting.

Time for a guest mix, dont you think?

Julian Shepherd is a dj of many years from Liverpool, and also a very close friend. I thought for a good while about what to write here as not many people will ever have heard of him…but ultimately, I came to the conclusion that this mix does its own talking.

I take mixes from anyone, and everyone, as long as they are good. This is better than good…it has everything in it. A strong candidate for guest mix of the year, I shit ye not.

Lets get some more guest mixes on the go. After a week break from the guest-mixathon that was last month…here is a wonderful house mix from Cosmic Boogie long term guest contributor Emma.

She sends this in with a week or so to go before new night Hard Life kicks off in the Moustache Bar in Dalston, as you can see from the attached giant flyposter.

Great mix this – exactly what I am into at the moment – the TSOS track is so good I now have it as both my ring tone, and car alarm. Thats right.

See more details about the upcoming party here…

And the final mix of the mix every (week) day this week is here, this one mixed by me under the Little Creatures guise that I throw drum loops at with long time girlfriend Andy Mac.

Its very analogue, its pretty rough around the edges – crafted together with both the Traktor S4 and vinyl (which is how we play out as Little Creatures)…and its pretty machine based. You will see what I mean.

No tracklisting for this one, yet, I might put one on next week. Have yourselves some fun filling in the gaps.

This is hosted on the soundcloud of Na Stare Million, my boys from Poland who I will be out there playing for next week, as well as being showen famous places related to the war.

If you are about in that area you can find details here:

The fourth day of a mix every day (just have a look at the last three posts for the others) and this one is from me. Its a mix that I did unplanned and pretty much just hit record with some new records a couple of months ago.

I forgot I did it, but was asked to supply a mix for local radio station Juice FM, and it went out last week. Quite housey, with discoey bits, much like Runcorn.

Tracklisting

Mic Newman / Recorded in my Garage
Mike Salta / Outrun (Stripped Version)
Tornado Wallace / Underground Sugar Caves (Version Idjut)
KRL / Deep Down
Simon Weiss / Bird Movement
Lovebirds / Keep Coming
Actual Proof / Hubble (Deep Field Mix)
Pulp Disco and The Oiutcasts / Overnight to Dusseldorf (Kommune #2 Dub)
Soulphiction / Freerotation
Klic / Disco Music

Day three of the mix every day this week (apart from the weekend)…this one is a special guest mix kindly donated by my good friends and dog walking partners, Pete Herbert and Toby Tobias.

Recorded LIVE at Fly By Night @ The Nest in October 2011…its 2.5 hours of disco and house exploration (with lots of synths), and has not been heard by anyone apart from the lucky few ravers attending that evening.

I don’t have a track-listing for this, as they didn’t give me one. Maybe YOU can fill in the blank.

Second day of the new mix every day week this week (well – weekdays, no one reads blogs at the weekend you are all too busy watching grandstand and worshipping the messiah). This one is a very special Boogie Originals mix from label co-owner Mr Andy Ash.

Its a brilliant mix – effortlessly moving through house and disco at will, with a few label tracks and some Andy Ash cuts as standard. No mix is complete without an Andy Ash track.

Enjoy and spread the love.

After a bit of a hiatus from Soundbrokencloud – for a week or so why i tried to find and justify the 59 euros a month I spend on it to host all these mixes, we are BACK with the guest mix.

This one comes from a long time friend of mine now Ryan Lubarda from Montenegro – a person whom I have seen (and heard) rise musically in his county at a pretty ferasome rate. Its a slowed down edit affair, very eighties, very easy on the ears for a monday morning, and a very good addition to the ongoing series of guest mixes.

This is the first of 5 guest mixes that will go up this week. You are musically spoiled.

Tracklisting

Shiva / Never Gonna Give You Up (Decades Re-Edit)
Beatconductor / Only A Thrill (Original Mix)
Quintus Project / Night Flight (Lexx Re-Edit)
Brand New Heavies / Dream on Dreamer (Satin Jackets Re-Construction)
Dynamicron / Never Ever (Dynamicron Re-Edit)
Deadly Sins / Gettin’ It On (OV Groove)
Kleeer / Groove With You (Touchsoul Re-Edit)

New Edition / Once In A Lifetime Groove (12″ Mix)
Jeremy Spencer Band / Cool Breeze (Dub)
Jeremy Spencer Band / Cool Breeze (Original Version)

Although the title of the post may imply that he will come round to your house and cook you dinner, then perhaps regale you with his wittiest anecdotes – it is sadly not the case.

What is the case, however, is that the man is playing at our big night in London on the 23rd of this month, alongside a huge amount of other disco and house types, and we have decided to give a couple of free tickets away. Now…there are two separate sections to the party itself; a rooftop talk from Greg and then the party on the two floors below, and these tickets are for both.

Thats right, they are the full hit. They come as a pair, and they are easy enough to win. Here have some details about the party first…

Cosmic Boogie & Big In Japan present..

THE SOUNDTRACK SET with GREG WILSON

An Audio / Visual Experience curated and introduced by Greg Wilson
In a Warm Rooftop Wig Wam at the Queen Of Hoxton!

Screening Starts at 9pm / Limited £15 Combined Screening & Party Ticket from: http://bit.ly/xSThEP

Late Night Party Ft:
GREG WILSON DJSET, LEFTSIDE WOBBLE, COSMIC BOOGIE, WOLF MUSIC, VOYEUR RYHTHM, ANDY ASH, CAPITA!, J-SON
8pm – 4am / £7 Limited Advance Party Only Tickets: http://bit.ly/yKNqDG / More on the Door

https://www.facebook.com/events/247867251956154/

So…what do you need to do to win these tickets? Well, its very simple. First of all you need to answer the following question:

AT WHICH VENUE IN LONDON IS THE PARTY GOING TO BE WITH GREG WILSON?

And then, you need to do the following:

1. Post the facebook link to the party around your facebook, twitter, etc. https://www.facebook.com/events/247867251956154/

2. Send me an email to collective@cosmicboogie.co.uk with your answer to the question and a screenshot of your posting of the party (on facebook or twitter).

Simple as chips.

PLEASE NOTE: If I find out that you have sold the tickets on to anyone, Leftside Wobble will be paying a visit to your house to talk about his many haircuts of the past ten years. The ONLY reason you can pass the tickets on is in extraneous circumstances. Say, for example, you have been hit by a train, or blasted into outer space.

GOOD LUCK FOLKS!

Guest Mix 20 comes courtesy of Magnus Blomkvist, under his Aihki guise (whom he is one half, the other being Tuomas Soppela).

I asked Magnus for a mix that would show a different sound to that of the standard disco affair that comes through the site, and this mix certainly has that.

I would go as far to say as its one of the best mixes I have had as a guest mix – not aimed at the dancefloor, but more for the mind.

Hardway Bros / Acid Track (on 33)

So, without further ado…I leave you in the capable hands of Get Down Edits…

This Friday (March the 2nd) I m playing in London with the House of Disco lads, alongside Leeds Disco Pioneers PBR Streetgang, Debonair and the House of Disco Residents. You can find out all the details you need to know (and buy tickets) on the Resident Advisor page for the event.

I recorded a Mix for the event as a little promo taster, which you can find below, and I also answered some questions. Expect only very serious answers.

Hopefully see some of you around Basing House this weekend…

Another Little Creatures mix hits the cloud, and is also embedded here for your streaming, downloading and listening purposes. It contains our new track “Bearfoot” along with lot of other ace tracks form the (perhaps) more machine driven side of dance music.

If you want to know more about Little Creatures, keep looking around this blog, or find us on Facebook and Resiwank Advisor.

Another Little Creatures track has been uploaded to the semi-broken orange website that we all used to cherish.

This one coming out as part of the Boogie originals 004 release (the one with Haku and Jaqcues Renault). I posted the preview to those two last week.

Should be hitting the shops in March on vinyl, digital and spacerock.

Up on the cloud for a week or so now, a preview of the next Boogie Originals release. Naiad by Haku is an absolute monster and it will be sided with a Jacques Renault remix. The other side will be up in a week or so, and we are keeping our hat on it until then, but rest assured its packed full of musical goodness.

Boogie Originals 004 is due March 2012 (vinyl first, digital later).

Little Creatures is a new project that should be putting out some darker, harder more driving sounds than the Cosmic Boogie stuff. Its me (Stu Robinson) and my mate Andy Mac, and our first track has been signed to the excellent Use Of Weapons label, to come out in March 2012(ish).

You can find a sneak preview of it below, along with the first mix which gives a better indication of what to expect. More tracks and another mix will hit Soundcloud soon, with a few more bits scheduled for release on Boogie Originals.

For up to date information you can follow the Little Creatures Facebook Page.

Little Creatures Mix 1

The blog is back in town.

I suppose it never left because I didn’t take it down. Its always been here, I just havent added anything new to it because it feld old…outdated. A bit like what I had been doing was not really reflected in the site. So now, with a brand new suit and some even brander new ideas…its back. And this time I will not only keep it updated but push great guest mixes, useful articles and pictures of entertaining haircuts down to you, the person who takes the time to accidentally stumble across it.

Please bear with me whilst I get all the mixes uploaded up to soundcloud…change all the pictures to colour, streamline the about us page to be actually about the blog, cosmic boogie, boogie originals and little creatures. I need to post all the releases with were you can buy stuff, and I need to get it all sorted as soon as possible before I decide to throw in the towel again. Because nobody quits as well as I do.

It is good to be back, and as you can see Ive been working very hard on my grammar.

So there will be none more of the, silly mistakes.

Lordy its been over a month since the last post on this here internet sinkhole, but with good reason.

Basically there is lots going on at the moment…..promo for Boogie Originals 2, Cosmic Boogie 6, releases digitally of 3 different tracks in the last two weeks, a mixmag chart, trying to gather pace with a big night in london next month. I could go on, but thankfully wont.

Two Cosmic Boogie mixes for a couple of mix series that I have great respect for are now up on the brokencloud. First up a mix for the Disco Deviance radio show that you can find up on the DD brokencloud page (and embedded below). Obviously, this one is quite disco based…

Disco Deviance Pulse Radio Show Mix

And then secondly a mix for the quite superb RUFF JAMZ podcast run by Ali OOFT! and The Revenge. This one probably based more around the output of the Boogie Originals label…so dare I say it, a little bit more house music in its leanings.

Cosmic Boogie RUFF JAMZ Podcast

You can download both the mixes from the site as well. If you want to.

Over the next week the guest mixes are going to fly back in, as well as a new big post about something or other. The blog needs some love.

Cosmic Boogie 005 is now out in record shops online and offline somewhere near you.  In fact, its been out for a few weeks now but I havent had the time to post about it on my own blog. Criminal, but true. I guess having another baby can do that to you.

Side A: You Make Me So Hot (Sean P Edit)
Side AA: Sunrise (Sean P Edit)

The Cosmic Boogie edit series continues were it left off with non other than the hugely respected music encyclopedia that is Sean P. Sean has a collection of records that anyone would envy, and here he picks out two tracks that explore a different side of the label.

“You Make Me So Hot” is Barbara Lynn under the blade, extending and re arranginga slow-mo disco bomb that will work on any floor. On the flip, “Sunrise” takes Rose Royce’s track from Carwash and creates a true funk monster.

Respectfully edited, wonderfully re-mastered and cut loud at 45 RPM for vinyl lovers, Cosmic Boogie is all about exploring the music.

Picadilly: Buy / Listen at Piccadilly Records
Juno: Buy / Listen at Juno

Id like to thank Sean – someone I really cannot say enough positive things about. A truly nice guy.
