This mix owes an enormous debt of gratitude to two people, without whom I'd never have grown to love these tunes so much. Steve Proctor and Sean Johnston are both DJs of the very highest caliber and I'm saying a big thank-you to both of them right here.
There's got to be countless former patrons of Steve's club from '89 and '90 who will recognise the great majority of these tunes and it's a testament to Steve that they still sound so good today. It seems funny to look back so lovingly at being packed into a tiny basement fitness centre with no bar or air-con and everyone totally dripping through with sweat - happy full days. It was the closest I ever came to having a religion - weekly observance was a must.
It's Balearic-ish as a few of the tunes clearly don't fit with being called Balearic (at least not in my reckoning of the term), but I still think they're cool and grooving tunes and they fit in nicely with rest. There's four, can you spot them all? It's a giant edit rather than a dj mix - that's how I roll.
