A load of dodgy off the cuff live mixes for you (dis)pleasure

A lot of hip-hop, Pigeon John, DJ Shadow, Naughty By Nature, Fatboy Slim, Adam Freeland, Marlena Shaw, Diplo, Amerie, Ohmega Watts, Mr Scruff, Grandmaster Flash, Billy Preston, Pharell, EMF, RJD2, …

Mix 2 : 14-March-2009
14-March-2009.mp3
Featuring Adam Freeland, Prodigy, Snoop Dog, Stanton Warriors, Plump DJs, General MIDI, Dizzee Rascal, Dave Spoon, Wham, Kissy Sell-Out, Reel2Reel, …

There’s more to come, but I need to find time to upload the others.

Posted by Matt on November 2nd, 2008

I’ve finally sorted myself out and put all my mixes and mp3′s back online. Feel free to download any/all. I’ve put links below to the mixes and the original posts which contain the track lists.

  1. 07-07-08 Mix (32Mb mp3) – Post (and tracklist)
    Justice style electro mix. Very French and dirty.
  2. February Pay Day Mix (26Mb mp3) – Post (and tracklist)
    Bit of electro, hip hop and Phil Collins for good measure.
  3. Love – The Mix (25Mb mp3) – Post (and tracklist)

    27 tracks in 5 Minutes. A sound to behold.
  6. The Avalanches – G-Mix (21 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    One of the greatest Mixes ever made! The Avalanches GMix has inspired a lot of style.
  7. 1 to 12 (14 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    Simple. Make a mix where each track includes some number starting from 1 and finishing at 12 (because I could find a decent 13)
  8. May Mini-mix (2 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    My first minimix. Only 12 tracks but still 5 minutes.

    Early signs of my electro obsession appearing
  10. Liam Howlett Breezeblock Mix (48 MB mp3) – Post (and tracklist)

    The aim, to make a mix. Very Mr Scruff-esque

    I was asked to soundtrack a Tearfund fashion of fairtrade clothing. Here is the result!
  14. How Am I Supposed To Know? Mix (28 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    I don’t know what triggered this one. Again a mixture of hip hop, jazz and… Phil Collins (I think I’m obsessed!)
  15. DJ Yoda Mini Mix from 2005 (6 MB mp3) – Post (and tracklist)
    Easily one of my favourite DJs. This guy can start any party! Here’s his 5minute mini mix from 2005
  16. Party Time Vol 2 – The Dance Competition Mix (31 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    My attempt at a series of Mixes based around kids parties. This one is mostly hip hop with some nice mashups of Destiny’s child and Jimi Hendrix.
  17. The Mul Mix (34 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    By far one of my favourite mixes. I made this for Rick’s bday. It’s full of hip hop and mashups.
  18. Party Time Vol 1 – Musical Statues (32 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    The first Party Time mix! Features Rick Astley before Rick-rolling was even invented!
  19. 21st Birthday Set Part I (24 MB wma) – Post (and tracklist)
    I DJed at my own 21st and made the first hour a mashup extravanga, including a nice Star Wars themed intro

    Another birthday mix. This time I’d put together a Michael Jackson mega mix part way through, hence the name 30% Micheal

About Me

Posted by Matt on July 8th, 2006

I realised I didn’t have an obligatory “About Me” page on this site! Then again I have no idea what to put on it…

Hmm…

I know I’ll do one of those crap email survey things!

  1. The singular boring question: What is your name? Matthew Edward Goldspink also known as William, Wilhelm and Little Willy to my sisters
    NB: I should point out Little Willy was given to me when I was baby. I’m sure my endowment has grown in the years gone by.
    NB: I’m not sure whether the name Little Willy was about the size of my willy.
    NB: I’m getting off this rather dodgy subject now. The rest of this quiz should be normal.
    NB: Starting from… Now!
  2. If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been? Naomi. I wonder if my sisters would have called me Little Fanny instead then?
  3. Would you name a child of yours after you? I think Matt Jr. has a nice ring to it… infact so does Little Willy Jr.
  4. If you had to switch first names with a friend of yours, who would you switch with? I think Yanyan is an ace name. I know it’s female, but it’s very different! Hmm… Yanyan Goldspink… How much are Deed Polls now-a-days?
  5. What’s the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name? My surname is often mis-pronounced/heard/spelt. Variations include Goldstein, Goldspank, Goldspunk, Croldspur (I think that was partly my fault cos of my bad handwriting) but the most infamous is Goldstink which was the name Kerrie’s mum used to book me into a hotel in Paris. I’m assuming that was just a Freudian slip.
  6. If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)? It depends on what type of celebrity I was. If I was a DJ I’d like to call myself Vinyl Matt. In all other cases I’d like to be known as Barry Lovechild… Umm… I guess that makes the answer Yes?!
  7. How easy is it to make you laugh? It depends on where you’re touching me…
  8. What person you know makes you laugh the most? My mum. At her. Not with her.
  9. Do you laugh at jokes you know you shouldn’t? I have a bad habit of laughing at my own jokes, but they do sound funny in my head! Really they do! Perhaps I just need to work on my delivery and timing… and going “Bu-dum-tsh” after them… and laughing at them…. Maybe I shouldn’t tell jokes.
  10. Do you tell jokes you know you shouldn’t? I think the above response answers that *snigger*
  11. What words instantly make you laugh or at least smile? “Pigeon Porn”
  12. What do you think is the funniest thing you’ve ever said or written? “Pigeon Porn”
  13. Do you ever dance to music when nobody’s watching? The short is answer is yes.
  14. What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard? Shitmat and every musical piece he has written.
  15. What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better? Macarena. If anyone can translate the words so I know what I’m actually doing that stupid dance to I would be very grateful.
  16. What song(s) are constantly in your head? The David Brent one from the office where he does that dance. It goes something like “Eh-eh-EH-eh-EH-EHH-eehhh-eh-EH-eh-Eh-EHH”.
  17. What song(s) do you think describe your personality best? If the Macarena is about being cool, sexy, carefree and funny then probably not that. I don’t really know, but I think the lyricless “Shrimp” by Mr Scruff describes my physique well.
  18. If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use? I would perform a sensual, sexually charged striptease along to “I’m too sexy” by Right Said Fred. And if that didn’t impress her (I’m not a gay) I’d sing her a beautiful rendition of “Angels” by Robbie Williams in the buff.
  19. If the object of your affections were to serenade you, what song(s) would you hope he or she used? “Big Spender” by Shirley Bassey or (now this is would really show they’re after me) “Dreaming your dreams” by Hybrid cos its my favourite song (ladies take note… if you’re interested)
  20. What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to? Hackers. I grew up watching it and it set in stone my geekiness.
  21. Do you agree with the idea that sequels are always worse than the original? No way! Just look at The Empire Strikes Back!
  22. Who’s your favorite Star Wars character? Oooo… a tough one! I could Leia (reinforces I’m not gay). Or Luke (reinforces I’m not cripple-ist). Or Lando (reinforces I’m not racist), but I think I’ll say R2D2.
  23. What kind of movie do you think there should be more of? Porn remakes of hit films. We watched a documentary on Channel 5 about them and it was facinating!
  24. What movie(s) do you simply not understand the appeal of? Gay porn. I didn’t like the footage from “Shaving Ryan’s Privates” in the documentary.
  25. What’s your favorite kind of cheese? I would say Mini Babybel, but i think people might associate that with my Little Willy nickname. So I’ll choose… Edam (it’s made backwards you know!)
  26. What do you think your answer to the previous question reveals about your personality?That I’ve been mentally scarred with the fact I might have a small willy.
  27. If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it? Having worked in McDonalds for 5 years, I know I’m quite comfortable eating dusty buns & phlegm mayo.
  28. Do you ever feel guilty eating meat? Every mouthful
  29. Mac or PC? PC. Mac’s are good for arty farty stuff, but PC’s are more easily upgradable and customizable.
  30. How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works? Far too much to be normal.
  31. Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation? Not really. I always say sarcastic things in IMs that offends the other person but because I can’t see their face I don’t know I’ve offended them and… it all spirals out of control! I think it’s best when I don’t insert humour into IMs.
  32. Do you find you’re different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone? IMs are usually done with me sat naked. Legally I can no longer hold face-to-face conversations in this manner. Telephone conversations can be held in either way as long as I’m not in public.
  33. Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later? I’ve never had the balls to bid on eBay. Though this has nothing to do with the size of my weiner
  34. Have you ever wished you could experience being the other gender? I think I like the fact they get to sit down when they pee. I always seem to lose my balance standing and end up making a mess.
  35. What do you dislike most about the other gender? Hormones. Having lived with two sisters and a mother, I have an instinct for whenits that time of the month.
  36. Do you sometimes see a movie or watch a show just because a good-looking celebrity is in it? I used to watch Gladiator’s when I was 12 just to see Jet! She was hot!
  37. What celebrity’s autograph do you want most? I think I’d be pretty chuffed with any celebrities autograph. I don’t really move in the right circles to meet them, so I’d be honoured if any of them took time out to write me a little note.
  38. Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can’t remember why? Yes. It makes me irate. No not really. Should it?
  39. If you could enter any celebrity’s mind like in “Being John Malkovich”, whose would you enter? Jimmy Saville. I want to know what planet he’s really from. I’d also like to get inside Keira Knightly’s Megumi Morigami’s mind and get her upto Macclesfield so I can serenade her with my Right Said Fred dancing. She couldn’t refuse me then!
  40. Do you want to be John Malkovich? If he could get Keira Knightly Megumi Morigami then yes!
  41. Do you laugh when you hear or read the number 69? Ha ha! It’s the same upside down! Thats incredible!!!
  42. Were you lying about your answer to the previous question? No.. Look at it! It says 69 that way, then when you flip it says 69 again!!!
  43. Do you actually know your Social Security Number? Oh… this an American quizzy thing.
  44. Do you actually know your IP address? I am blissfully unaware of it!
  45. Do you know what an IP address is? Yes! I have a Masters degree in Computer Science! Of course I know. It is the unique address of your computer on the internet. When IPV6 comes out they’ll be enough addresses to give every square meter on the Earth an IP address as well as the moon and Mars! (slap that in your fact book and quote it!)
  46. Do you know the four-character extension on your ZIP code? I don’t do ZIP codes, but if I did, I would live somewhere where my ZIP code would MATT.
  47. Ever thought there were too many numbers floating around in our lives? Funny you should say that because I often think that there are far too many numbers floating around in my life.
  48. Does your head begin to hurt when you think of infinity, imaginary numbers, irrational numbers, etc.? It depends if Mr Cuckoo is sat on my head.
  49. What do you think of pi? Strange but true fact: I went to school with a guy called Andy Geake who could quote Pi to some stupidly high number of points!

My Mixes

Posted by Matt on February 4th, 2006
In my spare time I like to DJ and have been doing so since 2000. My styles have been in a constant state of flux; I think you can plot my musical journey briefly via the following DJ’s and artists:
  1. Jamiroquai (Mid 90′s)
  2. Paul Oakenfold (late 90′s)
  3. Hybrid (2000-present)
  4. Plump DJs (2001-present)
  5. DJ Yoda (2003-present)
  6. Mr Scruff (2002-present)
  7. 2ManyDJs (2004-present)
I doubt that reflects my musical style very well because… well I don’t really have one! Perhaps you could say I just like music and if two tracks sound good together then I say “why not put them together!” (even if it’s 80′s cheese next to techno).
Nowadays I do the odd live gig. I mostly do mp3 sets because they allow for so much more freedom and creativity than vinyl, but I still love my vinyl though!

List of Mixes

May Day Electro – April Mix of the Month

This is one of the April Mix of the Month for 2006. It reflects what I’d been listening to a lot over the previous few months… Electro! It covers a wide range of electro styles. The bland bare melodic stuff, the funk-tinged stuff, the acid-tinged stuff, and the breakbeat side of electro. The last 10 minutes or so of the mix is one of my mini-mixes I’d been working on since Christmas 2005. I’d began experimenting more & more with Mixmeister; looping samples, overlaying 3 or 4 tracks at once and messing around with keys of the songs. I was trying to create stuff that when played out people would recognise parts of the separate tracks, but not put together with other recognisable tracks. For example we have Breathe by the Prodigy, with the 7 Nation Army bass line and a classic house vocal sample all at the same time. I know when I hear tracks i know in a club, I get excited, so I guess I’m doing what I think others may like.
  1. Disco 128 – Chritopher & Raphael Just
  2. Lately (Ges-E and Visionary Underground Mix) – Nitin Sawhney
  3. Rackrash (Bahamut Remix) – Bahamu
  4. Freestyle Disco (Wyvern Grill) – S.I. Futures
  5. Girls (Idiotech Remix) – The Prodigy
  6. Talks – Zombie Nation
  7. Happy Happy – Thomas Anderson
  8. Washing Up (Tiga’s Na Na Na Na Na Remix) – Thomas Anderson
  9. Walking Away (Tocadisco Remix) – The Egg
  10. Sugar Lips – Coburn vs. Dumb Blonde
  11. Do Not Break – Ellen Allein & Apparat
  12. What 2 Need 2 (Trentemoeller Remix) – Sharon Phillips
  13. I Feel Loved (Danny Tenaglia Labour Of Love Remix) – Depeche Mode
  14. Breathe (Like An Aphex Twin) – The Prodigy
  15. Seven Nation Army (Adam Freeland Remix) – White Stripes
  16. My House – Phil Keiran
  17. You Gonna Want Me – Tiga
  18. Rez – Underworld
  19. Technologic – Daft Punk
  20. Swastika Eyes (Chemical Brothers Remix) – Primal Scream
  21. Swastika Eyes – Primal Scream

Challenge Complete

This was my first mix of 2006. It’s a mixture of hip hop, jazz, funk, drum & bass, electro. It’s kinda Scruff like i suppose. I tried re-editting certain songs so they’re not the original, like the DJ Shadow has samples from Drop It Like It’s Hot & Destiny’s Child in, and the Mr Scruff’s Bonce is bootleged with DJ Vadim.
  1. Beginning – Nostalgia 77
  2. What Does Your Soul Look Like [Peshay Remix] – DJ Shadow
  3. Proper Hoodidge – Amon Tobin
  4. Hardcore [Instrumental] Hip-Hop – DJ Shadow

  7. Bonce – Mr Scruff
  8. Ghetto Rebels – DJ Vadim
  9. Organic – Othello
  10. That Sound (Quantic Soul Orchestra Remix) – Ohmega Watts
  11. Clean Living – RJD2
  12. Heaven and Hell – 20th Century Steel Band
  13. I Can’t Stop – Buckfunk 3000
  14. Bus Stop Bitties – RJD2
  15. The Boogie That Be – The Black Eyed Peas
  16. Lost in the K-Hole – The Chemical Brothers
  17. Krack – Soulwax
  18. Grind – Si Begg

How Am I Supposed To Know? (Unfinished)

Well heres a new mix I did in about 3 hours, just mucking around. It still needs some work, expecially the beastie boys bit. It’s not the most amazing thing Ive done, but it’s got lots of random stuff in it. I kinda started off wanting to do something floaty and light with Hybrid and Ils, but that went out of the window as I started to bring in other things. It’s a random mixture of electro, 80′s cheese, bit of brazillian/french jazz, rock. There’s a bit of Amon Tobin and Aphex Twin thrown in for good luck! (PS: The last track is awesome, thank Derek for discovering that gem!)
  1. Freeland – We Want Your Soul
  2. Duran Duran – Girls On Film
  3. h.a.b. – Feel For You
  4. Azzido Da Bass – Dooms Night (Timo Maas Remix)
  5. Beastie Boys – Ch-Check It Out (Acapella)

  15. Fingathing – Synergy
  16. UNKLE – Nursery Thyme
  17. Rachid Taha – Rock El Casbah

Tearfund Fair Trade Fashion Show

This is the music that me and Derek produced for the Tearfund fashion show. We were originally going to use loads of world music because we thought thats what the clothes were gonna be like. However, when we found out they were jus like normal western clothes, we changed it to western music too. We tried to avoid using well known cliched songs, but that went out of the window a few times. The intro was a brilliant idea by Derek to represent the fact that these clothes are from all over the world.

The Mul Mix

This was the birthday mix I made for my dear buddy Rick (aka Mul – hence the title). I know Rick’s musical tastes very well, it’s something that we have in common. I aimed to try and cram as much cool hip hop and other stuff in to the mix and add in a few special bootleg bits of my own. The only problem with it (as my flat mate pointed out) is that the Who isn’t on for long enough. If I’m honest I think this is my favourite mix ever. It’s just so damn funky!

21st Birthday Set Part 1

This is the first half of the run through of the set I did at my 21st Birthday party. It’s full of bootlegs and I aimed to try and create a set which had a bit something for everyone. I actually got slated for trying to cater for too many tastes, but I think it is an cool set! The highlight of the night was the S-Club 7 into KRS One. some people stopped and tutted when I put on S-Club, others jumped for joy. Then, when it slipped into KRS One, the attitudes changed! Those that were tutting, put on a huge grin and those that were whooping just looked puzzled! *sigh* Made me laugh.

Party Time Volume 2 – The Dance Party

This is the second party time mix, this time with a dance competition voice over. I used more of a mixture of styles, taking elements of mixes from my very first mp3 mix (I lost that mix unfortunately – but I used Destiny’s Child with Jimi Hendrix and Chemical Brothers with Nirvana). Infact, I recently modified the destinys child over Tomoyasu Hotei (the Kill Bill theme) with an acapella I managed to get from a random French bloke so there isn’t a clash of tunes. Overall, it’s a wicked mix (if i do say so myself).
  1. Braille feat Rob Swift – Hip Hop Music
  2. Blake Knight – Not That Serious
  3. Mr Scruff – Vibrate
  4. Mase – What You Want
  5. John Reuben – Re-Record

  24. Outkast – Church
  25. Pigeon John – Cry

Party Time Volume 1 – Musical Statues

This was the first mix in a series of (2) cheesey party mixes. It was heavily inspired by DJ Yoda & his whole How To Cut & Paste Mix Tape series. I thought I’d try my own style/homage/version (without the amazing scratching)! Throughout the mix there is a musical statues game going on (hence the title). So you can actually play along (although it’ll take over an hour).

Socks In The City

Posted by Matt on October 7th, 2004

This afternoon (and do not ask me who or why i decided to do this) I’ve been looking at socks. It is amazing how many places sell socks on the internet and I’d like to share with some of the sock treasures I’ve discovered.

First up is www.socks-in-the-city.com. This is a fabulously designed site selling socks for people who work in the city (hence the sex in the city style name). The ladies collection has socks ranging from “Weekend Tights” to “Voluptuous Stay-up”. As for the men, I decided to read some of the testimonies. My personal favourite testimony was from Phillipe, a pilot who says “We settle the plane temperature at a quite a low level. Therefore, I really appreciate the warmth of the wool and silk model. Its comfort is a additional advantage, especially for long flights.” (I’d like to point out the lack of an apostrophe in Its comfort. Tut tut Phillipe!)
So as you see, professional socks, for the professional ponce.

Next up was is www.strokesocks.com aka Stroke’s Striped Socks (Appropriate use of apostrophe – I’ll stop now). As you may have guessed from the title this place sells Striped socks and, let me tell you, these are some funky striped socks!!! My favourites are the Dijon striped ones (cos they look manky). It is also worth noting that all the socks are designed by a musician/producer called J. Stroke who DJ’s playing “Dub Reggae, Hip-Hop, Rare Groove, Dancehall, African Jazz, Brazilian, and various other styles for dance floor aficionados” in a similar vain to Mr Scruff it sounds (except this guys got a striped sock fetish and Scruff suffers from Tea & Pie addiction). Overall a fun fantastic place to purchase striped socks.

Finally (cos i got bored) I discovered www.socksfromholland.com, which sounded very promising at first. However, I found this place to be a bit of let down. Poor website design (something straight out of Microsoft word) and just bog standard socks. I was expecting something fabulous like “The Dutch NobbleStick Leg Warmer” but instead they do “Sports Socks” and other normal socks. I do like the fact they have a section for “Nylon socks” whereas all the other sections are “Men’s”, “Women’s” and “Children’s”.

Also worth noting is the website for The Bureau Of Missing Socks. Fun, with some interesting bits of information. En-diddly-Joy!!!
