Turn up the volume and dust off your glow sticks—my latest mix, The Bass Keeps Pumpin’, is officially live and ready for your speakers!
This particular set is incredibly close to my heart. Putting it together took me on a massive trip down memory lane, right back to the peak of my clubbing days in the 1990s and 2000s in Birmingham. If you were tearing up the dancefloors of the Midlands back then, this one is going to hit you right in the nostalgia.
A Journey from the 90s to Now
The Bass Keeps Pumpin’ bridges the gap between the golden era of UK dance music and the modern day. I wanted to capture the evolving energy of the scene, mixing timeless anthems with the cutting-edge sounds that keep the spirit alive today.
To do that, I dug deep into the crates to feature some of the absolute titans of the scene:
- The Late Great Tony De Vit: The undisputed king of Hard House. His inclusion is a nod to the pioneer who shaped the Birmingham sound.
- Andy Farley & Lisa Lashes: The royalty of the hard dance scene, bringing that relentless, high-octane energy.
- Rachel Auburn: Delivering those bouncy, iconic, unforgettable grooves.
Dedicated to the Birmingham Scene
For me, these tracks aren’t just music; they are the soundtrack to legendary nights out. This mix is a direct tribute to the iconic venues and nights that defined Birmingham’s nightlife. I’m talking about the sweaty, euphoric dancefloors of:
- Tin Tins Club & Blue at Subway City
- The Nightingale Club
- Sundissential (the absolute pinnacle of Sunday clubbing!)
- Godskitchen
Whether you were right there with me in front of the speaker stacks back in the day, or you’re just discovering the power of a proper 145 BPM bassline, this mix is built to move you.
