House Rules 01 – Part 1

November 5, 2008

Welcome to the new series of downloadable mix tapes, House Rules.

The Shenanigans mixtape series are starting to evolve a very “cut & paste” approach where only snippets of a particular record may be used, and there are lots of records crammed into one mix. House Rules takes the opposite approach, for people who like to hear the full record (me, I have Attention Deficit Disorder and I’m always bored by the end of the first chorus!).

So this is the very first episode in the House Rules series! I will be varying the styles and themes of these mixes. The only thing that they will have in common is that they will all be house music. The mix is split into four parts which will be published each Wednesday in November, so keep coming back for the full mix! FYI, the full mix tracklisting looks like this:

1. Solu Music ft. Kimberlee – Fade (Grant Nelson Big Room Vocal – Wez Clarke Re-edit)
