Dr Dave’s Mix Archives
Ratings only reflects my personal liking of the resulting mix as well as their technical finish (there are some serious fuckups on a few of them), goes from ★ = meh to ★★★ = damn proud of it. YMMV.
Electro
- ★★★ Eat to the Bleep: My first 100% laptop mix (no decks, no CDs, no nothing). Less than optimal mixing, but much needed style refresh…
Retrogressive Collection
- ★★★ Retrogressive Vol. 1: First Retrogressive mix, recorded in 2001. Deep and Funky San Francisco sound.
- ★★ Retrogressive Vol. 2: Second Retrogressive, recorded live in 2002, more Latin beats and Funky vibe all along.
- ★★★ Retrogressive Vol. 3: Back to the deep roots (recorded March 2005). [details]
Mini Mixes
- ★★★ Django is in da House: House, Django Reinhardt and old punk rock remixed [details]
- ★ Watashi-no Namae-wa Aki : More House, tribal and disco flavors. Very clunky mixing. [details]
- ★★ You know Frank Sinatra?: Lots of old sound, hip-hoppish House, Miss Kittin, Prince… [details]
- ★★ 303 Lovefest: A bit harder than usual. Acid and technoish anthems. Underworld, Josh Wink etc. [details]
- ★★ Ay Que Rico…: Pumping Latin House, Salsa, Cumbia, it’s all there with a thumping beat… [details]
- ★★★ Full Swing: Back to the zany jazz house blend [details]
- ★★ Da Electro Shit : 80s, electro, noisy, dirty… Mixed while heavily inebriated [details]
- ★★★ Brown… James Brown : Funky, deep, saxy house. [details]
- ★★ Music to do your drugs to: Another fairly hard-sounding one. Good for your work-out sessions too. [details]
Other
- ★★★ Summer Nostalgia 2004 Mix : A small mix with some of my favourite deep tunes of the decade. The perfect soundtrack to your lazy Summer afternoons. [details]
- ★★ NYE 2005 Mix : A club mix released for NYE 05. More on the funky, easy, happy side of house [details]
- ★★★ Dr Dave’s Caffeinated Mix (rec. 04/17/05)

Dear Dr Dave,
I hope you get these messages. I just want to tell you that you are awsome. I’ve just completed downloading about 10 of your mixes. I can’t believe what I have stumbled on…really, its like you’re plugged into my brain. Your musiccal variety is so extensive, I mean, Django and Les Rhythem Digitales….who knew? My mood music needs have been met. I am especially in love with the Caffinated mix and the NYE 2004 mix, also the Django/punk and the minimix III. I don’t know, they’re all good. If you do get this, and you feel up to e-mailing me back, could you tell me who does the “I like the way your booty shake” track. Thanks again for your transportive creations. Peace, R.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like it.
The ’shake you booty’ track is called “Le Magicien d’Os” by Ark (which I seem to recall is another name for some French producer, maybe Mr. Oizo, but don’t quote me on this).
[edit] Err… I guess I was wrong… Not like I had the internet handy to check when I wrote that or anything…

Your mixes are tight but the Winamp tracklists are just scrolling through repeatedly… any chance you can tell me how to access them?

Since I do not use Winamp, I’m not entirely sure what you mean here… Where do the mixes play and where don’t they?
If you are looking for direct URL to the mp3 itself (when not already listed above), you can see it by opening the “.pls” file with any text editor (.pls files are merely a text file containing URL and title of each mix).
Let me know if that doesn’t do it for you…
