FANTASY

Hey Guys,

It's Right in the middle of the year today, it's my birthday and the Hottest Day of the year in the U.K so everything great here in London.
Apart from all that, I have also launched my new mix called FANTASY. I struggled a bit with this one because I am really busy and don't have so much time anymore to look for the right tracks, but some how I always get lucky. FANTASY is by far the most uplifting set I have ever done. I can't stop listening to it and find myself dancing around the house every time!!
FANTASY is full of Really Funky Beats and Great Vocals. Some old stuff, some new, but all REALLY GREAT TUNES

Hope you enjoy this one

MISSION

All my recent mixes has all been two hours long. The reason for that is because I it's from my radio show and my slot time is two hours. However, this meant that fans can't burn my mixes onto CD anymore. Now I thought no one use CD's any more, but seems like I was wrong about that. CD's might just stay with us for a little bit longer than what expected, so with this mix I started a new concept. Although it's still one mix of two hours long, I now publish the mix in two parts to give fans the option to download two one hour mixes.

The name mission come really from when I usually go clubbing. I am not the type to dance the whole night or sit down anywhere. I am Always on a MISSION. I would be dancing most of the night, but in between looking for my mates, going outside for a fag (since you can't smoke indoors in the U.K anymore) and just generally being on a MISSION the whole night.

This mix is full of old classics that's recently been remixes (In true DJD style) and some great new tunes.

I also LOVE the artwork of this mix. I am playing around with some new programs and feel quite proud of the design of MISSION.

So hope you have fun and enjoy it. Remember to tune in for my weekly radio show on CREATE RADIO

LIQUID LOVE

The original name of this mix was just Liquid, however, I absolutely loved doing this mix! And once it was completed, I just couldn't get enough of it and absolutely LOVED it and that's where the new title came from LIQUID LOVE.

This mix is a dedication to my all time favourite DJ and Music Genius, DAVID GUETTA. It's full of DAVID GUETTA remixes including the new hit single "WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER" by Kelly Rowland and remixed by DAVID GUETTA. The funny thing is, that one week after I launched this mix, I went out clubbing and totally unexpected, Kelly Rowland performed WHEN LOVE TAKES over live at the club.

People in the club went MAD and it was a good feeling to know that I am on the right track with my choice of tunes.

I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I do! Remember to click on the title of this story to be redirected to my Podcast page where you can download any of my mixes for free!

RUSH

Then name RUSH have sort of two meanings for this mix. The first one is the RUSH that you get when you hear a good tune or when you are having the time of your life in a club. The other meaning was basically the fact that I had to do this mix in a RUSH, LOL

From getting the play list together, designing the artwork, mixing and uploading the mix took all together about 4 hours. It usually takes me a couple of days playing around with the play list and spending a lot of time on the designing of the artwork, but due to my weekly radio show and deadlines that I am facing now a days, I HAD to finish this mix in a RUSH, so I hope you enjoy it!!

DJD PASSION

This is my 20th mix and I didn't plan to do another two hour mix, but I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't stop at the usual 1 hour. I wanted to do something special for my 20th mix, but then I always find a reason to do something special. The mix full of GREAT music that has just been released as the MIAMI 2009 SUMMER PARTY just started and all the AMAZING stuff that all the great dj's have been working and kept for the specific party. And now, all the rest of us can get our hands on it as well. Some songs has not even been on the market for a month!!
I had to think really carefully about the name for this mix and decided to express my view on house music.... which is... A PASSION for it!!! So the name of the mix is called "PASSION" or "DJD'S PASSION" The artwork really express what I hear when I have my headphones on and listen to the music...
The mix start with a few warm up songs and then speed up to a funky beat and in true DJD style, it's FULL of old classics that's just been remixed in 2009!
Hope you enjoy it!!

PRIMETIME ONE & TWO

In March 2009 the DJD PRIMETIME show was launched on Create Radio and what a HUGE success it was!!! Althought Create Radio has been designed for the Fitness and Training audience, it have GREAT music on and I always listen to it. Do have a sneak peak when you have a moment. DJD PRIMETIME just fits is perfect with the rest of the music on Create Radio and the time slot couldn't have been at a better time. The two mixes are both 2 hours long, so 4 hours of GREAT music all together. I have put in a LOT of time, efford and a bit of money to perfect these two mixes, so I hope you enjoy every second of it!!!

DJD PRIMETIME

It’s time to take the next step in my DJ career. I would love to go out there and start playing in clubs, but with my current working situation that is virtually impossible, so the alternative is to start a radio show. A couple of months ago one of my best friends, Michael Staddon told me that he needs to ask me something... I had no idea what was coming my way. Michael and his business partner
Louise Gillespie-Smith is the founders of a life couching company called “create yourself” This very young company became very successful in a very short period of time. They decided to take it to a next level and start a radio station for “create yourself” called, “create radio” The question that was coming my way was; if I would be the first official DJ for create Radio? I nearly fell backwards! Although I have been offered a similar proposal, the other radio station could not work around my hectic schedule, where Create Radio CAN do that! In the weeks to follow a lot of work went into promotion, designing logos, taking photo’s, sourcing the perfect tracks for the 2 hour launch mix, mixing it all in to perfection, voice recordings, picking professional voice over’s to mix into the 2 hour set and last but not least, coming up with a name for the show. My weekly slot is every Friday evening at 8pm, so I thought that the appropriate name for the show should be: DJD PRIMETIME.
Now that everything is done there are only two things left to do. Promoting and launching the show! I recently met a promoter on Facebook called Michael Pfister. Michael lives in Toronto and promotes DJ’s. He writes monthly notes on DJ profiles and I have been lucky enough to be one of the chosen once. Michael and I will promote the DJD PRIMETIME show over the next few weeks. I guess the only thing then left to do is to sit back and hope for the best!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hundreds of fans that have been very supportive. I don’t think I would have got this far without all you.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

The show launches on the 13th of March 2009 and will have a weekly slot of Friday evenings at 8pm, UK time. So for international listeners, please refer to the international time zone at:

FREAKY LOVE

Hey everyone,

It's the month of Love and Romance, Valentines! I decided to move away from the whole Teddy bear mafia, balloons, red hearts and cheesy cards. Let’s face it, if you have a nicely decorated house... it only interfere with your decor! I am more of a music, wine and flowers type of guy and since I am a Funky House Music Dj... I thought; let’s combine love with Funky House. I am launching two mixes this month. The first one is to be launched on the 4th of February and the second on the 14th of February, Valentines Day.
This mix is one of my personal favourites! To describe it in one word... It’s FUNKY!!!! It’s full of BRAND NEW tracks from 2009 and in true DJD style, there is some GREAT remixes of songs from about 5 to 10 years ago. It’s amazing how can think you are absolutely tired of one track and then years later, after being remixed, it become your favourite song again.
Have you ever been so in love that it actually FREAKS you out??? I know I have and the feeling is indescribable!! You get that tingly feeling all over and nothing the world can change your mood. Well, if you’ve been there before, then you know what I am talking about and that is exactly where this mix get it’s name from, “FREAKY LOVE”
So plan something really romantic for your loved one this year. If you are so in love that it Freaks you out... then that person deserve more than just a teddy bear. He/She deserves only the best!! Champagne, Flowers, getting naked and a bit of DJD
For all the single people out there, there’s still time, you’ve got 10 days before Valentines, so get onto that dating websites!! Alternatively you can always send some flowers & wine to DJD.... LOL
Hope you enjoy the mix and watch out for the second part on the 14th of February.
Thanks again for all your support,

Big Kiss

START IGNITION

Hey all!!

Hope you a Great New Years and are ready for 2009! I myself have been in Cape Town for a two week holiday. I had a nice rest and feel nice and refreshed again. It’s January and time for a new mix. Since it the beginning of the year, I thought I’ll come up with a title to show that we are ready to start 2009, so I called it: “START IGNITION” It’s also a great follow up name for my previous mix that was called “COUNTDOWN” Hope you enjoyed all my mixes in 2008 and I am planning to bring you some great once in 2009.
Great to see you all back again
Have fun, take care and see you in February!

2009 COUNTDOWN

Right everyone,
THIS IS IT!! It’s the end of 2008 and time to start a brand new year. For me, The New Years Eve Party is one of the biggest events of the year and I am sure for most people it’s the same. For those of you that will be hosting house parties this year but don’t quite have your music sorted yet... Don’t Fear!!! Cause DJD is here!!! All you need to do is to invite your mates, sort out the refreshments and you are good to go!
I have worked out two mixes to get your party going, have a count down to 2009 and a Great mix to take you into the New Year. If you want a flawless playlist, just do the following:
Download my “BEST OF 2008” and the “2009 COUNTDOWN” mixes onto your IPod or MP3 Player or even play it through your computer. These two mixes need to played one after the other, with “BEST OF 2008” first and then “2009 COUNTDOWN” What ever you play it on, hook it up to the biggest nastiest sound system you can get your hand on, I’m talking about SERIOUSLY PISSING OFF YOUR NEIGHBOURS!!!
Start playing “BEST OF 2008” EXACTLY 7 seconds atfer 9:30pm.(sorry about the 7 seconds, but I was trying to get as close as possible) The mix is two and a half hours long and will take you up to 11:59:30pm which leaves approximately 30 seconds to the Midnight Countdown. The Second mix, “2009 COUNTDOWN” has a 30 second intro that have a Countdown in before the mix start playing. There for, NO NEED TO COUNT, cause DJD sorted it all out for you. Just remember, you wont be able to stop the mix or skip to songs you like, because then it wont work out. Alternatively the "2009 COUNTDOWN" mix can be used on it's own and should be played at 30 seconds before midnight. Unlike some of my recent releases, this mix WILL fit onto a CD. This new mix is full of old clasics that's recently been remixed for EVERYONE to enjoy!!
Hope you have a GREAT NEW YEARS EVE BASH and won’t be able to remember ANYTHING in the morning.
Happy New Year and see you in 2009!

DJD xx

BEST OF 2008

There is not much time left of 2008 and in all honestly, I think it’s been a great year for music! I have never heard so many old classics that made a comeback and it’s been great listening and also mixing my old time favourites again. I therefore decided to do a mix with all my favourite songs from the mixes I have done this year to give 2008 a proper farewell. If time permits, I will do one last mix for this year for New Years Eve. Apart from the fact that this mix has all my favourites in of 2008, it is also the longest mix that I have ever done, by far. It’s TWO AND A HALF HOURS long!!! The downfall of this mix is that unfortunately it will not fit onto a CD due to the length of it, but fit’s perfectly onto an IPod or any other MP3 player. So if you are looking for something to get your New Years Eve party going... Here we go! Have one on DJD!!
Big Kiss

INFINITY

Well, it’s getting quite close to New Years Eve now which is the second biggest party of the year... with my Birthday still at the number one spot of course!!
Time to get in the mood for a good boogie to say goodbye to 2008 and hellooooo 2009!!
I went clubbing with my mates in Amsterdam this past weekend and I was ready to get in the mood for New Years Eve, but I was DEEPLY disappointed!! The music was absolute shiiiit! All I wanted to do was to jump into the DJ box, beat up the DJ and plug my IPOD into the sound system... I didn’t do it though, but what I did do was to upstage him by putting together a GREAT mix for December. This mix has a theme to it, it starts with the same song that what it ends with and it works really well. Yet again, there is some fantastic remixes of old songs in. It starts with funky vocal house, turn very funky electro and then end up in vocal again. Personally I LOVE all the tracts in this mix. Well, with no further adduce, I am very pleased to announce my December mix... “INFINITY”

For those of you that wonder why there is an number 8 turned on it's side on the artwork for this mix... well, that is the universal sign for infinity.
Hope you all enjoy it and that it put right in mood for dancing in the Holiday season!
Big Kiss
DJD xx

ABOVE & BEYOND

This mix is full of GREAT songs!! In true DJD style there is some fantastic new remixes of old songs and some great new once. The mix start with funky vocal house, turn into nice hardcore electro towards the end and then end off with a very funky happy song. I must admit that I had major difficulties mixing this mix, because sometimes the beats just don’t match up, no matter what you do, so there was a LOT of playing around, but nothing has been edited, it’s a live mix from beginning to end!! I went through so much trouble with this mix, from collecting the right playlist to mixing it all in that I felt I really went out of my way this time, that extra mile, ABOVE AND BEYOND! So that’s all I have to say about this mix. I really hope you enjoy it!!

A DJD PRODUCTION

Hey boys and girls.
Well, I decided to let you in on all my secrets of how a DJD MIX actually makes it to your Ipod! Well, I wish I could say that it’s simple, but it’s not as straight forward as everyone think it might be.
The very first thing is to collect the songs. I only like to use the very latest songs and remixes and when I mean latest, I mean that something that came out 6 month ago is TOO OLD!! So I need to get my hands on all the Fresh stuff before even radio stations and clubs start playing it. It’s a bit like getting up really early to go to the market to get the very best, however I will use older songs if they are REALLY GOOD! First I brows the internet and use hundreds of sites to see what the current top 10’s are in the world. Then I have to start listening to all of them, because they might be in the top 10, but they might not be up to the DJD standard. I listen to about 5 different remixes of each song and then I pick one and buy! That song would then go into a playlist that I call DJD LIBRARY. I go on like this until I have about 30 songs. This can take anything from 2 days to a week, depends on my luck. Then I start going through the library and listen very carefully to each song. Some songs might get deleted and some songs I decided to download different mixes of. Then it’s time to divide them up in two further groups, the DJD IN THE MIX and DJD EXTRA. The songs going in DJD IN THE MIX becomes the official playlist for the next mix and the songs in DJD EXSTRA are left there for the following mix. However, if songs in the DJD EXTRA don’t make it into the following mix, they will get deleted, because they simply get too outdated.
Then it’s time to MIX!! I mix live, so that means that from the beginning to the end of the mix is me mixing and there are NO EDDITING afterwards!! And unfortunately things don’t always work out on the first mix. A Lot of mistakes happen and then I have to start ALL OVER again, so you can just imagine how fed up I get of the first part of the mix, because I have to listen to it over and over. Once the mix is completed, it’s time for the name and the artwork. The name of a mix usually comes from either the main song of the mix or how I felt during a mix, like E.G THE WORLD OF DJD got it’s name from “THE WORLD IS MINE – DAVID GUETTA” and DECSTASY get’s it’s name from me feeling absolutely ecstatic while I was mixing the mix. The artwork obviously has to match the name. I go through 100’s of pictures and edit the colour and pictures to make it fit in with the rest of the DJD collection. When I do a mix, it will always be in WAV format, but that’s a very large file so while I work on the name and the artwork I have to convert the WAV file to MP3 to make it smaller (easier for download) and then I listen to the whole mix without any interruptions to hear for any flaws. Once I am happy with the whole lot, it’s time to load all the information onto the PODCAST. I load my mix, the name, the artwork, the playlist and tags so that it’s easy for people to find my mixes. Once it’s all loaded I look at the final product and if I am happy... IT’S TIME TO LAUNCH!!
And the final thing is to advertise like crazy (as you might have noticed on Facebook) that my new mix has been launched! And then... well, time to start ALL OVER AGAIN! And THAT is how a DJD MIX makes it to YOUR iPod! If you haven’t had the chance to listen to my mixes yet, then go and have a look at http://djd-podcast.podomatic.com

DECSTASY

Hey all,

Can’t believe it’s already November and getting cold. But hopefully this new mix will put you in the dancing mood and keep you warm you up! Again, I went through hundreds of songs to get the perfect playlist together for this mix. It’s full of old classics that have recently been remixed and also brand new tunes. The mix contain some vocals, but not in all the songs. Where I usually start nice and slow and finish quit fast, the change of beat in this mix is not quite so drastic. I said before that I won’t mix Pjanoo again, but I found this remix that I had to use it. It’s been remixed so much that you can’t hear its Pjanoo anymore, so I mixed in the original Pjanoo melody in some parts of the song, just so that you can hear what it is. So, the name then... Well, it’s simple. While on the decks I got so ecstatic about this mix that I thought what better name than, “DECSTASY”!
Hope you enjoy it, and there will be more soon. Click on the title of this story and you will be directed to the Podcast page where you can listen to DECSTASY!
Big Kiss

DJD AT NIGHT

"DJD AT NIGHT" get it's name from an old time favourite song of mine, "AT NIGHT" The song has been remixed in 2008 and the outcome was great!
There is also GREAT remixes of "LOLA's THEME", "SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE" and "CHILDREN" by Robert Miles. And again, all these remixes are from 2008! It's a very funky mix. Lots of Vocal and quite heavy Electro right in the middle of the mix, but only in one song and then the mix have a great uplift again.
