i don't like it unless it's brand new ...

... which this certainly isn't. putting this mix together as a christmas present for friends in december '04, i didn't realise it would signal my last sustained outburst of creativity for over a year. i am but now slowly slinking out of its shadow. the first time i stitched together turntable routines with a few of my own edits and remixes on the pc, all my previous mixes being onto cassette, it all just seemed to have the perfect dynamic. as a dj my cutting and juggling skills will always be more coarse than sophisticated, but maybes i make up for the inadequacies in the forgotten arts of selection, sequencing and timing.

well anyhoo, i put it here wondering if the late '04 reference points will date it or whether there's enough gold in there to keep it shinin. up it goes. a chance then to move on, and shine up some new records, and new old records, and old old 'n all, and get on the mix again.

thanks! - yes, there are actually two disco tracks used on 'return of the original artform' which i put on the mix. first is a doubled-up 'chocolate' by the chocolate jam company. the second is my own re-edit of 'born to get down' by the muscle shoal horns.

anyone wanting a full tracklist, just holler...
