  1. Good to hear from you, Sir, and thanks for checking this out - it's appreciated! Hope all is well with you... If you ever fancy another back-to-back.......
  2. Good to hear from you, Spin Doctor. Think a lot of us (oneself included) become victim of life changes, think there's still a handful of veterans that venture back here now & again, still true for the cause. Great account of your recent ventures; I recall Craig Connelly joining up here to share his work way back back & Jules would spin that stuff on his show. Speaking of Scott Bond; that legendary track, 3rd Earth, features on a mix I've just put together here - which I've recently recorded to see the year out with: http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/archives/board/index.php?/topic/18535-revolution-mixed-by-aza-end-of-2023-special/ (have had to paste the URL as it appears few things are broke with the site at the mo, also haven't even been able to report it to Tim as that process isn't working) Have found myself swaying back to my roots with Trance lately, the scene, especially on the production/releases front seems pretty good lately. All the best for next year

  4. Nice work here, Tom. I enjoy these, always love to see some of the 'old skool' vintage tunes being brought back to life (in a quality way - coming up with today's sounds). Lots of the originals featured within were some that still give me goosebumps to this day Thanks for sharing
  5. A prequel mix to the 'Vintage Delights' retrospective project adventure, this mix - & its tracks - very much forms a fundamental part of my musical DJ voyage, which I think, those that'd frequent this forum may enjoy. For our historic hero, one whom quintessentially brought us to this 'place', without a shadow of doubt, Judge Jules, played a significant part of our musical adventures & quests. I for one, personally, would have not been inspired to not just follow his works & endeavors, but develop such an itch, I passionately wanted to learn & become a DJ. I'd compiled these tracks quite a while ago, I kept a list of tunes that ultimately pay 'homage' to some of Jules' radio shows & live events. As I grew up, & matured as a DJ, I decided to culminate this era of times gone by & produce my own offering. Throughout the tracklist & the production installment, I wanted this to be a theme throughout. Not just the records Jules broadcasted, but his own projects & collaborations - & that is something I irresistibly formulated. I'm victim to circumstance nowadays i.e., ageing through life, but for the veterans - who still respectfully honor such a cause & return to this place - & other followers who who's journey converges here; I had you all in my mind when I put this recording together: 1.

  7. Nice mix, there, Tom - and some great choonage selection. Memories from back in the day, gone but not forgotten. 'Frizzbomb 'is a belter... That Randy Katana track, quite an anthem, but doesn't it have similarities with '4 Strings - Take Me Away', that triggered "sounds like" thoughts, and was a good surprise to hear the latter track then featured toward the end of the mix. Wondered if you have the same vibes, which may be what triggered that, too? :)
  8. It was a good listen, yeah. Again enjoyed some of the reworks of the classics gone by. Send some material my way if you like, happy to spin & support
  9. Thanks, Spin Doctor - nice to hear from ya
  10. Great set and mix, Tom. Enjoyed it - and loving the 'reworks' of tracks we'd all be blessed by the Judge playing the originals. Liking these reworks myself, best thing closest to me being stuck in the past with the 'good old days'. Where'd you pick some of them up from (as they're white labels)?
  11. Cheers, Jason, respect your opinion. I'm generally a nostalgic, and always been particularly fond of the late 90's - early 00's. When I get opportunity to spin, I still find myself going back there. The thinking behind the mix here, though, was to go back to those days and either pay a tribute back to the track (a lot of them I'd have already featured in mixes so didn't want to continuously recycle), but also show some support to the artists who've had a go at remixing some of the 'classics'. Some should be left alone, tend to agree, but I wanted to put together something fresh - whilst paying homage to the tracks. Fergies take on "The Dawn", may not hit the vibes of the OG, but I actually heard him talking about the track when Jules had him on a session, and the sentiment for the track was touching. Lane 8's take on Zo's Superman was another I eagerly wanted, and twas eventually given away for free... Other compelling tunes were Cosmic Gate's remix of Picotto and Maceo Plex's take on 'Insomnia'. Also loved the harder trance scene stuff, and still like to put out recordings of those days gone by, this one being one of my fondest. Would welcome your thoughts and insights on that, too? Cheers
  12. Thanks for sharing this, enjoyed checking that out. Always had a great character has Jules. Top personality, and dearly has a place in my musical heart for getting me in to DJ'ing & the music scene. Touching stuff where he talks about the power of music during lockdown and truly reflecting on his late mother.
  13. Looking back at the 'old' & reviving for the 'new'... Tracklist: 1. Above & Beyond - Good For Me feat. Zoë Johnston (ALPHA 9 Extended Mix) 2. Ferry Corsten - Rock Your Body (Mat Zo Remix) 3.

  15. Nice post - my mixing nowadays still falls victim to 'nostalgia'!
  16. Freestyle old skool jam -mixing it up from some of the good days gone by:
  17. Have a look at this which echoes all these sentiments
  18. Thanks, mate As I recall, the mix with that track was Jules' 5th of 99, so much so he was crowned DJ of the year and given the Radio 1 turntables by all accounts. I was actually listening to it over recent times which lead me to feature a couple of tracks from it. N2F also mentioned 'Toca Me' in a post here; I had that track up my sleeve for this as it's purely timeless for me, but this mix and its tracks have many of the attributes mentioned in that thread and drove me to put this together. The next installment (Mix 1) will be put together imminently Look forward to your feedback if you can share once you had opportunity to check it out...
  19. Homage to Aza's back-in-the day old skool influencers. Tracklist: Dial M for Moguai - Bang The Drum PT 2 (Original Mix) Mauro Picotto - Like This Like That (Megavoices Claxixx Mix) Fragma - Toca Me (Club Mix) York - On The Beach (Mauro Picotto' s CRW Remix) DJ Garry - Dream Universe (Red Square Mix) Warrior - Voodoo (Oliver Lieb Mix) Tomba Vira - The Sound Of 'Oh Yeah' (Oliver Klein Mix) Yves Deruyter - Back To Earth (Rave Mix) Rank 1 - Such Is Life feat.

  20. Hi all, I've an itch to scratch: reminiscing wanting to spin/mix some old skool trance music - another homage to Jules & all us here. I'd like to go something Ibiza'esque, but with tracks from Jules' era '99 - '2004 (or so) - as for me, those were the golden years. Can I have your choice here please, but please try to avoid anything commercial/mainstream that hasn't featured on some Ibiza mix album before Thought this may encourage a little activity on here whilst we're all locked down & provide some entertainment to keep us all together. Depending on how many tunes, I'm happy to put together a 1hr or 2hr set... Deadline is mid/late November! Cheers
  21. Veterans of the infamous JudgeJules Archive forum, Aza & Dan, have combined forces to record a high energy retrospective mix in homage to Judge Jules and Eddie Halliwell. Jules had a 25-year career span at Radio 1 becoming one of the most iconic names in dance music. Debuting on the world-famous Essential Mix in 1994 he later became a full time presenter in 1997 with the "Saturday Warm Up". Quickly establishing himself as a "gateway DJ", Jules drew in audiences by reflecting current clubland trends before expanding their musical horizons with the introduction of wider influences. A keen ear for talent, during his peak he was one of the most influential figures in global dance music. In 2002, in a special end-of-year round-up broadcast, Jules featured several internationally renowned DJs, including Tiësto and Paul Van Dyk, where each would pick a special track. Having already heard of an up-and-coming DJ who was making waves, Jules offered a unique 15-minute segment to 24 year old (electric) Eddie Halliwell. This exposure would help catapult Eddie to the global stage. As well as releasing one of the most critically acclaimed demo CD recording for Mixmag, BOSH!, it wasn't long before Radio 1 had Eddie back on air for his first ever Essential Mix, LIVE! Eddie went on to complete over 6 more and landed a resident DJ show with the station. Jules, having held down 33 Essential Mixes, must be close to a record! At the time, many commentators tipped Eddie to become a successor to Jules as the UK’s foremost ambassador for UK dance music. While their paths would eventually diverge, in turn both would hold residencies at the iconic Gatecrasher, share coveted Radio 1 airtime, headline major festivals together and despite differing mixing styles, feature considerable playlist overlap. From this point on, Aza and Dan were both hooked and big fans of both DJs. Over 20 years later, the genres of Trance and Hard Dance they used to spin has since moved on but still holds a special place in their hearts. As loyal fans to some of their idol DJs - and DJ friends in common, they've combined forces to deliver an 'Essential Mix-esque old skool classic set'. This back-to-back set is testament of their admiration, passion and recognition to this whole scene of clubland. 01. Ariel - A9 (Original Mix) [Essential : ESX15] (2000) 02.

  22. Just listened to this again today. what a set, what a tracklist, that is something special. Jules knows his records, indeed, just like he got caught to become a famous, he plays the right tracks to the right people, and this here for us, is a damn right special mix.
  23. Stumbled on this after some recent reminiscing. It is very quiet here these days, I'm a veteran to this site, as I know some others are... Just to say Jules single handedly got me into my biggest all time hobby & he does still have a special place in my heart. Times change, things move on, but he, indeed, knew how to smash out a good tune.
