I haven't done much in the way of recording mixes lately, but I did have a chance to have a play about on the decks last week while I was setting up Lux for Orange Fridays. It's a bit/very (delete as applicable) rough round the edges 'cos I was trying to rush around doing other things at the same time, so if I was grading myself I'd probably rate it somewhere around “could do better”.
Hope you enjoy it ;o)
If you can see the player below, then all you have to do is click “play”:

I'll try and get a copy of this mix uploaded soon if you missed the show and fancy a listen. You can tune in on Mondays from 7pm to 9pm at Pure:FM student radio.

Yes, it's true - I'm running in the 2007 Sabbatical elections.
I'm running for the Media & Publications position, because it's the area in which I have worked almost constantly for the last 4 years, and because I think I could probably do a fairly good - ok, a very good job of it.
That, of course, is assuming I don't insert my foot in my mouth any more than is absolutely necessary, that I don't upset too many people, and that I don't inadvertently break the rules due to me being daft.
Oh, and of course, I'll have to beat the socks off the competition - I've heard rumours that there are no less than six candidates running for MAPO this year, including myself. Apparently, that means 2nd and 3rd place candidates will get a boost from the transferable votes of those in 4th, 5th and 6th places as they're knocked out.
All I have to do now is figure out how this transferable voting thingbob works…

Ok, this is a bit scary - I've just been told I have a radio show on Pure:FM, starting tomorrow evening.
So that gives me a mere 24 hours to prepare a house and chillout show. Should be interesting then… Eep!
You can listen online at purefm.com/interact - I'll be on from 7pm to 9pm, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong. I'll probably cheat for the first show by playing a mix I recorded last year for most of it as I have a ridiculously busy day tomorrow.
I'll set up a web page for the show shortly with track listings and other gumph shortly :o)

(Sorry about the gash title! ;o) )
I made it onto the decks for a couple of days last week and recorded some of my latest and favourite tunes on my favourite (and totally underused) toy - Final Scratch.
There's about 7 hours of music to wade through, and it's split up into a chilled mix of laid back house, three commercial/chunkier mixes, and a threesome of dirty house to finish off with. There are some random suprises in there, and I'll sort out a track listing shortly, but for now you're more than welcome to download the demos (but remember there's a bit of small print below about copyright and usage, etc - please read it before you download).
Oh, and I'm ashamed to admit my DJ name at the moment is “Chopper Harries”. Honestly, it's the best I could think up…
(Everything's recorded at 320Kbit/s).
Downloads are offered as-is and are provided solely for the attemped whoring of my DJing abilities (or lack of). Copyright remains with the owners of the tracks where appropriate. Files are not endorsed or hosted by UPSU - for comments, complaints, enquiries, etc, please see www.DJstalker.com.
Oh, and I didn't go swimming today - Fraggy dragged me down to Route last night and I am still, as I type, working from home thanks to having spent most of the night trying not to drive the big white porcelain bus. While Fraggy reckons it's down to my impending old age, my inability to handle my drink is entirely down to genetics. And being a wuss… ;o)
