Many apologies for taking 2 years to actually do anything with it... I've been busy!

After a 9 month hiatus, and with the inspiration of my annual trip to Ibiza I've put together a 3 CD compilation of quality house music - RAW Tunes Ibiza 2006. Some of these are the 'Ibiza choons' of 2006, whilst others are tracks that I've enjoyed listening to over the last 6 months. A very large number of tracks ended up on the cutting room floor, such was the quality of the music that I've been rating recently.

In a fit of enthusiasm, and spurred on by the The Shermanator's Ibiza After Party I decided to mix the compilations this time. Or perhaps I should be a little more honest - use a bit of creative cross fade. So, working within the limitations of GarageBand on my beloved Mac, and learning as I went (i.e. only on the third attempt did I work out a way to kind-of-beat-match!) I've created 3 80 minute AAC compilations:

01 - Sunny - music from and inspired by the legendary Hotel Es Vive where we spent qualty sunbathing time
02 - Shiny - funky, glitterball, happy, vocal house that kept us on the dance floors
03 - Dirty - deeper house

I've published the playlists on this blog, and if my friends are lucky I'll give them copy of the mixes - as long as they promise to purchase the CDs, of course! ;-)
