23rd July 2005

The same show as broadcast on the 16th July, so another chance to hear the Shakira mash-up, the monsterous "Paddle' by Touche, and an hour of current dance tunes!

New show airs next week. Hear a sneaky preview on Monday 25th at midnight.

Cheers,

16th July 2005

I started this show off with Justin Timberlake and Neneh Cherry, purely as a way of getting to the awesome 70's funk of Miami's "Chicken Yellow'. This is where Neneh Cherry's sax sample came from. I decided to play with the main hook of Miami's track, layering Shakira's vocals over the top and then adding the sweet, sweet sound of Alyson Williams 'Sleep Talk'. Whatever happened to her?

Other featured tracks in this show were Touche "the Paddle'. Love this track, but glad it wasn't a commercial success, as it works better off as an underground monster for the dancefloor addicts in the know!

New Show on Fire 107.6

My new show aired on Fire 107.6 on Saturday 9th July. The Mixbuster is broadcast from 8pm until 10pm on Saturday evenings and then repeated on Monday nights between 12am-2am. Each week I'll have put together 6 exclusive mixes of new material. Fire are now playlisting 'non-stop 90's and now!', so you can expect some true classics from the last decade, as well as current tracks in slightly different guises. Click here for the tracklisting of each show.

You can download some of the first show here. Some of the original full quality mixes will make their way into the download section, but for now I intend to put recordings of the shows up for grabs first.

Introduction

If you have stumbled upon this blog then welcome. If you've been directed here from elsewhere, then welcome. If you are leaving , then good-bye.

The story so far...

Here we go again then! I'll soon be back on the UK's airwaves!

Having had an incredible amount of positive feedback from the Thursday night mixes on Chris Bailey's radio show on Fire 107.6, I have been offered a regular specialist show. Fire have decided to give me the Saturday night slot from 8p - 10pm to create a non-stop mix show to get people in the mood for going out, or staying in. I'm to replace a bloke called Roger Sanchez (who?), so as you can understand I'm quite excited.

The incredible feedback from Chris Bailey and his listeners (thank you to you all) have secured what I believe to be a fantastic opportunity for me to show my skills, but also to push the boundaries a little.

Fire is a vibrant and dynamic dance music based radio station, located in Bournemouth, on the South Coast of the UK. Bournemouth has always had a great dance music and club scene, and I am delighted to be a part of it once again.

Tune in on 107.6 if you can, alternatively you can listen online.

Topsoil

My alter-ego has recently enjoyed success with this dodgy crowd, and I am delighted to say that the wonderful Mr Cooper from Whole Hog has received an award for his latest production, Topsoil - a brief but extremely entertaining double-cross movie. It really is a brilliant film and I pray that this is a starting point for the 'hog' and not a mere pig -in-a-poke! I am honoured to have been asked to create the soundtrack and over the moon that Coops is reaping the rewards. Brock 85 rules!

Who is The Mixbuster?

DJ/Producer Simon Sinfield, has been mucking about with music since he was 10. Having taught himself to mix records on an old Citronic Tamar disco deck, he soon progressed to become a regular face at the wheels of steel in clubs along the South Coast of England.

Simon has also composed music and produced material for other artists. Most recently, Simon was commissioned to compose a soundtrack for an independent movie. This was the second time his music has been used for a film and the latest project, Topsoil, has just won an award at the Santa Cruz Film Festival in the USA.

Simon's passion for music and technical ability when mixing tunes has seen his creative DJ sets, and exclusive mixes develop a strong and loyal fan base.
