Hello,
Im getting married in a few weeks and ive managed to sweet talk my sweetheart into letting spin some wax for old times sake at the end of the night. My mates and I grew up on a healthy diet of weed and mid to late 90's jungle/dnb, cutting our raving teeth at the Bassheads nights at the Matrix in Reading, circa turn of the millennium.
I was going to drop some golden oldies for all the head inside, as well as my rellies, in-laws and general well-wishers who are, suffice to say, not junglists.
As such, in the interest of inclusiveness, I am trawling through all my old records, CDs and Discogs looking for tracks that will appeal to all (I dont think Mutant Revisted or Phantoms (Nebula remix) will be getting much of a play out!) but also retain artistic and junglistic integrity, and so call upon the collective might of the SC to throw a few gems into the hat that I might have missed.
I have been focusing on more jazzy, good-times, uplifting, soulful, vocally, funky tunes that non-"heads" can get into (general music theory states melody and hook is important in this regard, but not essential!), but am not averse to something with a bit of grit. So far, i pieced together more than enough to cover the hour or so, but there is room for more choice! I have a few dead-certs so far:
So, please dont be shy and throw whatever you think will appeal to all crew inside the place!
Cheers
Chris
