BRAWN Floorfillers Vol. 1 is my longest published mix to date, a full 2 hours of old skool house reworks and nu skool club house tracks from the last few years. This mix blends classic house influences with modern production, featuring plenty of piano-driven moments, vocal cuts and uplifting energy throughout. Starting at 128 BPM and building through to 136 BPM, it moves from groovy house into more driving club sounds, finishing with a cheeky classic trance moment at the end. Expect that signature Manchester club sound, designed to keep the dancefloor moving from start to finish. BRAWN is a night at Eagle Bar Manchester, bringing together Bears, Chubs, Cubs and Chasers for a proper night of house music, great atmosphere and a busy dancefloor.

After a break from releasing mixes, I am back with a brand new one, BRAWN 2 FUNK.

It also marks my return to DJing at The Eagle in Manchester on Sunday 3rd May, as my club night BRAWN returns for Bear Weekend.

It has been a while since my last mix, the previous one was published back in August 2018. Many of you will know that during that time I lost my partner to cancer in 2019, so caring for him quite rightly became my main priority. Over time I have slowly started to find my feet again, and during the difficult period of the coronavirus pandemic I felt it was the right moment to return to something that has always brought people together, uplifting piano house. Piano Vibes 2 brings together a selection of piano-driven house tracks designed to lift the mood and bring a little positivity back to the dancefloor, even if that dancefloor is your living room. Thank you for continuing to listen and for all the support, especially through such a difficult time in my life. Listen to the mix RegardsRick This mix is for promotional purposes only.

This mix is a trip back to the sound of the Manchester Gay Village dancefloors during the early and mid 2000s. Funky Village Classics Vol 1 brings together a collection of funky house tracks that were regular favourites across the bars and clubs around Canal Street. These were the tracks that filled the dancefloor, from early evening sets through to late night moments when the whole place was singing along. Expect uplifting vocals, strong basslines and the kind of funky house grooves that defined that era of the Village scene. I spent many years DJing on the Manchester scene, and these are some of the records that were always guaranteed to work with the crowd. If you were out in Manchester’s Gay Village back then, you might recognise a few of these. Listen to the mix If you enjoy the mix, please feel free to share it.
