TranCentral, Jan 2022
I'm not usually a fan of banging techno stuff, but I had a real hankering to listen to some trance tunes.There wasn't a great deal of material in my vinyl collection to choose from, though I did have a few trancey tracks left over from the 1990s, so at least I had a starting point. The rest I gathered from here and there until finally I had enough for three mixes ...I went for names I'm at least familiar with, so you'll find tracks by Li Kwan, Lange, Salt Tank, Afterburn and many others. See how many you remember.

Hustlers' Intention, Mar 2022
I've always loved the house-y disco stylings of Full Intention duo Joe Pearn and Michael Gray, and I've scattered a few of their tunes around on my various mixes ... but it occurred to me that the best way to enjoy them would be to gather my favourites into one mix and literally max out on the FI vibe. So, Full Strength Intention, aided and abetted by collaborators like Teena Marie and Frankie Knuckles ... then, coming soon ... Full Intention's alter ego, Hustler's Convention (see what I've done there?)

Disco Elements 1, Jan 2022
I have used tunes by Disco Elements (producers Rob Mello and Zaki D) on other mixes in the past, but never felt they meshed terribly well with the tracks I was mixing them with. Perhaps the dubby nature of DE material was something to do with it. So my solution was to simply mix Disco Elements with Disco Elements in a mad musical chemistry experiment. I think it's turned out pretty well ... so I might apply the same approach with another favourite of mine, Full Intention.
