The selection is drawn from the recent FYB Boompt! party plus some summer titbits and deeper tracks to represent this weeks sailing into heavy winds in the face of balearic mood swings.  Why does excessive fun have such a big payback price?

Apologies in advance if the sound quality is somewhat wanting on the deluxe stereophonic equipment I’m sure you own. My present recording / mixing set up is very much ‘work in progress’.

Anyway, excuses aside I hope you like it ;) x

As always should you wish to purchase any of the tracks included then you can click on the arbitrarily selected BUY links provided where possible (except for the Ping Pong sample which obviously didn’t make the iTunes Top 10..).

I’m finally back at Bill Shakes bionic base camp.

This year I’m hoping to be a little more organised than last and share more delectable music (time & copyright laws permitting) for those who care.. The plan is to post regular DJ mixes using the mighty Soundcloud containing music that is tickling my ear drums at any given moment and see where it takes me/you.

Below a topical taster and personal old skool fave by Mickey Finn It’s one of his earlier contributions and a timeless classic that samples the Six Million Dollar Man (like you didn’t know).  More to follow soon.
