Media Of The Week
I started calling this page CD of the week, then realised that was a) outdated, b) inaccessible to modern car drivers and c) not in keeping with DJing - consider me chastised - this is a weekly update of our favourite media
06. Optimogeddon
https://www.mixcloud.com/michael-ohare5/optimogeddon-the-final-optimo/
7hrs capturing the final Optimo, the legendary Sunday night at the SubClub hosted by the duo on 25th April 2010. Playing host to a huge range of music and DJs, they provided a night to aspire to - watch this space....
05. DnB Dubs
A unique concept - take dnb tracks back to their roots, strip the speed and focus on the history. Free to download, these and other releases are fun to drop into dnb mixes.

04. Bjorn Torke - Northern Chill

This mix came on a free CD on the cover of DJ Mag Aug 2003 (23 years ago!). It opened my eyes to a whole new scene that only really got recognised more than a decade later with the explosion of Todd Terje.
03. 6 hours of David Mancuso
Its a beautiful thought - 6 hours of someone now in the sky being the soundtrack to your morning, afternoon or evening, We've not lost a lot of big name DJs so far - this is the one of the first and will never be the biggest - but deerves to be talked with respected

02. Shitmat
https://soundcloud.com/shitmat/dj-shitmat-live-at-bang-face-weekender-2023
This needs to be heard to be believed, there was no other way we'd want to kick off the launch of the website with a joke...
01. 2 hours of Ricardo Villalobos
This is 2 hours, or 2 hours 2mins to be precise of Ricardo. Now followers of RV may equate that to roughly 5 of his typical 30min tracks - but you'd be wrong - its 41 of his tracks of all lengths! Its an intense listen but we needed something diverse to kick the website off:
