LOL!! :oddcake:

Merry Christmas Secret Santa DJ's!! :thumbsup:

Thanks for my mix mate!! :thumbsup:

Losers :rubbish:

Not sure you should play 'Loneliness' at a wedding! The parents might disapprove! ;-) In terms of the format it all depends on the crowd. If they aren't old clubbers go with whatever is easiest for you. I played a wedding in Ibiza for a mate and they specifically asked me to play off of vinyl. God, that was messy! Have fun!!

Jules, Oakenfold & Seb Fontaine were there!! Anybody go? :oddcake:

Hi all, Does anyone know the name of the track Jules used to play that contained the Samuel L Jackson line from Jackie Brown; "AK-47, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively, got to kill every motherf**ker in the room; accept no substitutes." Cheers!

Good stuff!! Should be fun!! :thumbsup:

For those of you who have taken part in this before, is there a particular 'theme' for the mixes? Looking back at previous tracklists is seems that most people have done a classics mix of tunes Jules once played. Would this be the aim or are we able to include anything?? Cheers :thumbsup:

I used to really like that aspect, it worked well.

Let's hope he does arrange something like that before he hangs up the headphones for good. This E-Mix would have been the perfect opportunity.

I didn't think Radio 1 management had a say in any Essential Mix content? Do they??

Hahaha!!

I remember saying the same thing when trance started becoming 'daytime'!! Yeah MK has been very busy with his quality remixes. I love his sound.

I agree entirely mate. Tong supports Shadow Child, Claude Von Stroke and the whole deep house sound on his show and is the only reason I tune into Radio 1 now. Even the Essential Mix has gone downhill. I mean, Nervo? Really?? I'd go even further and say that anyone over 21 is going to find Radio 1 pretty wanky nowadays. How old are these bosses at Radio 1?

It's safe to say that Jules would play whatever he feels will make him the most money. In the early 90's it was funk & soul, then house, before jumping on the trance train. Now it's the euro-gash EDM sound. What IS odd is that he would choose to play the commercial bar / Luminar leisure centres that cater to pissed 16-18 year olds on the pull when he could have stuck to the 'proper club' circuit. I would have thought the commercial bar DJ scene is pretty soul destroying, seedy and depressing but would also pay less than proper clubs? Jules could however do 3-4 of these gigs a week whereas perhaps he could only get 1 or 2 proper club gigs in that time frame. Personally I could not face going to those venues week in week out, standing on sticky floors and playing EDM shit to kids downing Bacardi Breezers. These choices have unfortunately burned all of his bridges not only with the big club brands but also the underground scene, of which he was always on the cusp. I admire his unwavering work ethic and respect him for his contribution to dance but fail to understand his choices when, a decade ago, the credible dance world really was his oyster. It is interesting to compare Jules with Carl Cox. In 1999 they were two of my favourite DJ's and I could think of nothing better than to see them smashing it back2back. Fast forward nearly 15 years - they are both still around, both busy and both making plenty of money, and yet they couldn't be more different. Unfortunately only one of them is now held in high regard in credible music circles. Just my opinion.

He's right.

I think Track 17 is Wax Max 4 - 'More Bounce'. Juno have this as being released in Dec 1999 and from Holland, which is what Jules says. To cross-check I looked on Discogs, where it has the same info. http://www.juno.co.uk/artists/4+Max/?show_out_of_stock=1 http://www.discogs.com/search?q=wax+max+4+more+bounce&type=all

I vote for 80 mins.

To be fair though, Jules also plays that SHM-electrogash nowadays. Danny Howard even plays at Judgement Fridays!!

£££££££££££'s It's what all the teens at BCM like these days unfortunately Jules, in my opinion, hasn't played 'club' music for a few years now. He plays commercial bar/Luminar Leisure venue type music. Those "Somebody screeeeeeeam" voiceovers sum up his market perfectly. Nobody wants to hear those at "proper" clubs like Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, etc - but they probably go down a treat at BCM in Majorca or Jumpin Jack's in Skegness. You're absolutely right, i'm sure.

I find Jules' taste in music quite 'interesting' for a 46 year old.

Ah yes I remember hearing those lyrics, Radio 1 obviously got the tracklist wrong!!

The Zapp Club in Brighton? I've had a couple of big nights there!!

Not at all mate! I buy, play out and still have a passion for new music. Unfortunately what Jules has been playing for the last few years is just not to my tastes. But i'm glad you enjoyed some of it. I can't see any Angelic track there though??
