Offroad In Winter

February 2008

This mix was started way back in summer 2007 and then scrapped months later because I just didn't like it. I ended up dropping more than half of the original playlist but it still didn't sound right and it was back to square one. After rooting out different remixes for some of the songs and shuffling them around, it began to take shape and was largely complete by January 2008.

Offroad In Winter draws upon soul, trance, latin and garage influences. Unusually, there's also two remixes of the same song. The first cut of the final set was too long and wouldn't fit onto a standard 80 minute CD so one track was dropped entirely whilst others were edited to give a shorter running time.

With an eclectic mix of genres, there are plenty of favourites to pick from including the summery laid back groove of Tonka (great music video for this too), Joe T. Vanelli's slice of classic Italian House, the funky Dannii Minogue remixes of the Sister Sledge hit and of course, the gloriously uplifting He Is by The Sunburst Band. However, my favourite track here is the David Morales remix of Honey, a lovely soulful US number that's just immaculate.
