Alan Hartley's Slave To The Vibe Podcast

Here’s my mix from Manchester Adored, pack with edits, re-edits and live edits covering music from the last 4 decadesNow crank the volume up loud, press play and be prepared for the energy from the first track

I found so many amazing tracks I’d forgotten about from the last 3 decades while crate digging for the Paul Oakenfold gig, I thought I’d put an extended mix together. The first 75mins are basically the warm up set I did for the Oaky show, but then the journey continues through progressive house classics, breaks and trance classics for a total of 2.5hrs, taking the journey of a night from warm up to peak set and to close.If you like your classics, then this will put a rather large cheeky smile on your face, as the memories come rushing back.There are a few newish bits thrown in with a couple of housersPress play, turn it up and enjoy the journey from ’95 onwards.

Being asked to play alongside Paul Oakenfold in Liverpool was always going to be special and even though being in the warm up slot, I knew it was going to be an emotional one. From digging deep and finding those goosebump tracks I’d forgotten about, bringing all the amazing memories of nights Cream with my mates come flooding back, through to playing at The Dome, which is a spectacular venue.But this gig surpassed all expectations, the crowd flooded in early, meaning I wasn’t playing to an empty floor, but not only that, they came to party and party they did from the moment they arrived.This mix comprises of progressive classics, with a sprinkling of a few newer tracks, big room house and breaks, just as you might expect for a trance party warm up setI hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did playing it. And if you were in the crowd, thank you for making it a very memorable gig x
