Old Skool Mixes wanted
OK kids, I've got a new radio show on Melbourne's only 100% Dance Music radio station: KISS 97.6 FM. Every Sunday I dig through the crates to play some true golden oldies from around 1990 (give or take).
I only have one rule, if I play it once, you won't hear it again. With 40,000 + tracks on my hard drive it would be wrong to just hit repeat...
Also, since it's on air Sunday mornings from 10.30am-12.00noon, I try and steer clear of banging techno and hoover rave - I'd much prefer to play some deep, bleepy techno or Balearic house really.
You can check out all the shows including their tracklistings and download links on the show's mixcloud page. Only 3 weeks in, but getting there...
Now, here's the thing.
As much as I am confident in my track selection (as only a true narcissist can be), I really do enjoy hearing other people's mixes. So as much as it is, I offer 27 minutes of air time on Kiss FM Melbourne to anyone who can provide me with a great old skool mix.
These are the rules:
1. your mix will be at least 27 minutes long; but anything longer will probably be cropped (so don't leave your best till last)
2. it will be comprised of music circa 1990 - give or take a few years
3. you will not play the same shite as me or any of my contemporaries does
4. it will not include such over-used classics as Gat Decor's "Passion" or Bizarre Inc's "Playing With Knives"
5. it will not include any shite by acts such as 2 Unlimited
6. it will be suitable for radio play on a Sunday morning (I know, the temptation to go all Satanic is strong, but you must be stronger)
7. your mix will be well composed, mastered, and pretty much just sound good from start to finish.
8. you are not playing for a dance floor so feel free to put in any track that works for you: ambient, electro, techno, house... the more different, kooky or out there the better. Refer to rules 1-7.
9. you will provide a link to a 320kb + file and track listing.
10. I will listen to everything, and play ALL the quality mixes on my show, even if I don't like them.
That's it really, get to the crates people...
And if you don't reside in Melbourne, you can always listen to Kiss online or on your phone. Just go here.

Mixcloud, Filesonic & Mediafire update
All the mixtapes, live sets, and similar long mixes are available for streaming on my page at Mixcloud here. There is a good chance that there will be stuff there not yet on this blog, so it's worth taking a look if you haven't already. If you 'follow me', you'll also be notified of new posts without having to do anything more.
There is quite a lot of good stuff on Mixcloud, and it's easier to find than on Soundcloud. Strictly speaking, you can't download from Mixcloud, only stream - but if you paste the file link into JDownloader (or other download managers I suppose) it'll grab it for you. Be aware that it will grab all the links (good and bad) and unless you want 6 copies of a file, I'd only selectively download file links. You need to have Java installed on your machine and keep it updated to be able to successfully download from Mixcloud. There are also other download methods, but they involve a bit of work and rely on Google Chrome - see here.
Also, Filesonic seem to have buckled under pressure from the DMCA (or shit themselves after the shut down of Megaupload by the Feds); currently you cannot download others' files from filesonic... nothing I can do about that except re-host on that trusty old faithful, Mediafire. Links will be updated as I can.
Sorry for any inconvenience folks.
