thisisnotalabel mix – by simon a carr (63.70mb, 69:29mins)

this saturday the 15th march we have invited up and coming label thisisnotanexit down to the amersham arms for a musical bout. alongside a headline dj slot for playgroup main man trevor jackson and live set by new TINAE signing detachments we have a dj set from label head simon a carr. here simon a carr takes us through the mix he’s done for the night.

“i’ve thought about doing a label mix for a while so when the thisisnotanexit vs. allez-allez party idea arose it seemed a good idea to put one together. the mix features some of the music that has already emerged on the label – but the majority of it is forthcoming in 2008 (and therefore exclusive!).

the mix starts with professor genius who released tracks on italians do it better and disques sinthomme last year. number one kickstarts things and flows into the tremendous remix from brennan green featuring a full live reinterpretation with brennan on drums, guitars and everything else! after that its the prins thomas miks of hatchbacks’ white diamond which was raptuorously received last year – then into the new they came from the stars i saw them single the HOT inc. remixed by mysterious deep dub disco producer MoscoW (he’s just remixing detachments too which is sounding absolutely incredible!).

club silencio are then a new signing from italy and then its into faze action’s remix of the new hatchback single jetlag. from there we go into the emperor machine dub remix of signals – what a bassline! – and then the elegance of the naum gabo remix of detachments’ fear no fear. following this its the an optimo espacio remix of they came from the stars its time and the demo of lexicons by new signing the dark esquire – a throbbing 132 bpm italo groove. the mix ends with the out there-ness of sculptures’ SCRAM and back to where we started with professor genius á jean giraud number five. hope you enjoy it!”

thisisnotanexit intro…
professor genius – a jean giraud 1

“During my travels around the world I’ve developed a bit of an obsession for different types of cheese. I actually took a residency at a club in Switzerland because they’re the experts when it comes to fondu – now it’s great to finally be able to combine my two biggest passions in one night in London – music and cheese!”
