End of year report 2008

First of all, stats for the year:

66 mixes uploaded to www.dunfyboysmixes.mypodcast.com since January with 6315 downloads. Most popular mix is my DJ Shadow mix - 441 downloads - thanks to it getting a mention on solesides.com and proving so popular on pearsontowers.com. Thanks to all who have supported Dunfyboy's Mixes over the past year.

If you've had problems downloading from MyPodcast.com do perceviere. The site has storage and bandwidth issues. This caused a few to jump ship to Podongo.com. However I learned today that Podongo will be closing tomorrow. Credit crunch and all that. I was thinking about leaving MyPodcast.com, but with one of it's main competitors going belly up, who knows.

Happy New Year to all, and thanks again.

Just heard from Metrodorus, another MyPodcaster, that he'd been in touch with First Beat Media, the owners of MyPodcast.com, and they'd reassured him the site would continue. Good news.

Dunfyboy's Electro House Mix 3

Download from MediaFire.
Here's the last mix of the year, and possibly the last mix to be hosted on MyPodcast.com. The site has been suffering from more and more technical faults and support is almost non-existent. I've been upping mixes there for a year now and it may be time to find a new host. I'll have to think about it in the new year.

Anyway, the mix. It kinda goes more electro breaks than house at the end, but it's all electro, eh? Apart from the odd track or two, but they're house tunes, if not electro, so it all fits. Whatever, it should keep your head nodding on the drive to visit rellies this Christmas.

Enjoy, Merry Christmas, and TTFN.

Dunfyboy's Trance Mix 7

Download from MediaFire.
It's been a while since I did any trance mixes so I thought I'd throw this together for you.

These tracks are from A State Of Trance Classics volumes 2 and 3, so nothing's too up to date. Quite a few are vocal tracks, which is strange for me, but a nice mix all the same.

If you missed my previous trance mixes, you can get them here.

Dunfyboy's Marc Smith Mix

Download from MediaFire.
Scott Brown may have been better known outside of Scotland and he definitely released (churned out?) more music, but Marc Smith was always the King of Scottish hardcore in my opinion. He was a DJ first and foremost, but even from his first release, "Breakdown", he produced some of the best hardcore tunes and remixes of all time.

So here's a little mix in his honour, featuring his work from 92-97.

01 - Breakdown (The 'Sounds Nothing Like The 'A' Side' TTF Mix) - Marc Smith
02 - Real Love (Marc Smith 'Rocked To THe Core' Mix) - The Time Frequency
03 - Breakdown - Marc Smith

09 - Knight Raver (Marc Smith Remix) - Ramos Supreme & Sunset Regime
10 - The Mad One - Marc Smith
11 - Slammin' - Marc Smith vs DJ Ten
12 - Apolcalypse - Scott Brown vs Marc Smith
13 - Aquarium - Marc Smith vs DJ Ten
14 - Wake Up To The Overdose (Marc Smith Notorious Mix) - Dance Overdose
15 - Hardcore Disco pt II - Bass-X (scratches by Marc Smith, so it counts!!!)
16 - Truth - Alas Smith & Sharkey
17 - Boom & Pow (Marc Smith's Boomin' Remix) - Marc Smith

Dunfyboy's Finger Lickin' Mix

Download from MediaFire.
I thought I'd better get this mix up by the end of the year as it's a celebration of Finger Lickin' Records, the breaks label who are celebrating their 10th birthday this year. They've released a triple album mixed by Soul Of Man to mark the occasion which you can pick up direct from Finger Lickin' for under £9 or from Amazon for under £7. I've never understood why buying direct costs more than involving a 3rd person. I saved £40 last week by not buying my new monitor direct from HP. I assume they make less profit this way. I'm just glad there isn't a worldwide recession. Idiots.

Anyway, enjoy.

As a little bonus, here's Robert Michum giving his love & hate monologue from Night Of The Hunter which was sampled by Soul of Man (track 7)

Dunfyboy's Hvnly Brkbts

Download from MediaFire.

Some of these tunes appear on a compilation called Chemical Dance Culture - Test 2: Heavenly Break Beats. A bit of a mouthful, but it did give me the idea for the mix's title.

It's 80 minutes of early happy hardcore and when you listen to the mix, you might notice some D & B influences as most of these tracks are from the time when the breakbeat hardcore scene was splitting into happy hardcore and jungle.

Anyway, enjoy, and remember to not leave a comment.

PS - Defo the last old school mix for a while

Dunfyboy's Naughty Naughty Mix

Download from MediaFire.

I know, I know. I said I wasn't posting any more old school mixes for a while but I'm going to reinstall Windows and as I had a couple of old school mixes already recorded on my PC I thought I'd upload them first.

Besides, the last couple proved so popular (well, 4 people leaving coments is good going in these times of lurkers, leeches and ungrateful cunts), I thought you might like a couple more breakbeat hardcore/early happy hardcore/whatever the fuck you wanna call it mixes.

This one features the 11 Naughty Naughty bootleg 12"s that came out in 93/94. If you've never heard of them, they're basically unofficial happy hardcore remixes of dance tracks from the late 80s/early 90s.

Surprisingly, this is just the 2nd mix on the site with a constant tempo. This time, 160bpm.

Enjoy.

As this mix is more 4-on-the-floor than the last mix, I've decided this will be the sequel to my Old Scool Rave Mix pasted back in March.

Dunfyboy's Old School Classics 2

Download from MediaFire.

OK, after a bit of a lay off, Dunfyboy's Mixes is back in action.

This is the 1st of 2 old school mixes I'm putting up this week. As this one is mostly breakbeats, it seems the natural sequel to my Old School Classics Mix that I posted way back in January, or maybe my Big Four-Oh Mix.

These tracks are mostly from 91/92, but a few exceptions. Starts of at 125bpm, ends at 152.

New Mixes Soon

As I predicted, the PS3 has eaten into my spare time. Performance wise, I'd say it's no better or worse than my 360 (hell of a lot quiter though). I prefer the PS3's interface and the pad just feels more natural as I've been playing on one Sony box or another for over a decade so the 360 may be getting eBayed soon.

Anyway, I've been looking out some more old school tunes and hope to get a couple of new mixes up here within the week. After that, who knows what the next mix will be, but it'll be a little more up to date whatever it is.
