This mix is not educational, it's not upfront, it's a mix that celebrates all things Twisted Elegance now having reached its 8th Birthday. 

Twisted celebrated it's Birthday at it's new monthly home in Manchester and pulled clubbers of old out of retirement to party alongside the next generation to create the perfect atmosphere and the ultimate party. I have put this mix together to capture some of the highlight tracks of my 2 hour set which was packed full of Twisted anthems old and new, together with a couple of my own cheeky bootlegs and edits that are known to bring the floor alive with smiles and cheers.

If you were one of the fortunate that experienced this amazing party, I hope that this captures some of your musical highlights and for those that didn't come and join us, Twisted Elegance Parties are held the 3rd Saturday of every month at Venus Manchester

More Twisted Classics and Anthem mixes to follow that capture the first 5 amazing years

This mix is also available via the Twisted Elegance Itunes/ Iphone app which is packed with the latest party information, photo's, DJ news and much more

I had the absolute honour of playing 2 sets alongside the legend that is Roger Sanchez on 1st May. For me and for the people that I know attended it truly epitomized the Perfect Night with an amazing crowd, the explosive atmosphere, the stunning venue, the music and the S Man.

I would personally like to thank both Peter and Pez from the Perfect Night for allowing one of my dreams to become reality and on behalf of those that attended for a great memory and one hell of a cheeky grin.

This mix has been put together to catch some of the highlights from my 2 sets and to keep your cheeky grin firmly fixed in place See you all at the next Perfect Night Extravaganza

The only good things to come out of a recession are great music and amazing parties as people look to escape from the world for those few hours where God is a DJ and clubbers become legends.

This is the time when the true party DJ comes into their own cutting across genres of house, fusing tribal, minimal, trance undertones, driving basslines and the most euphoric breakdowns with anthemic vocals, to bring people together in unity creating the ultimate atmosphere and a room full of smiles.

Music Matters is my latest mix and celebrates the return of the party and the reclamation of house without genre divisions.

Hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I have putting it together

Alan

This mix is a little different to my signature sound and is a journey across a number of genres of house. It marks the end of the first 12 months since deciding to leave Twisted Elegance and embark on my solo journey through clubland.

I would just like to thank some of those who have continued to support me and provide me with some amazing opportunities inc. the team at Cream, Peter & Pez at The Perfect Night, the teams at; Moneypenny’s, Socialeye’s, Fragile, Cube, Gbar & Glamour, Julian at Nexum Leisure, Pat & Huey at Twisted Elegance, Dave Graham - Lee Butler - Les Calvert at Radio City and last but not least the Liverpool Echo and clublands very own Carrie Bradshaw (you know who you are ).

This will be last mix of 2008 available for download…so think of it as my Christmas present to you

Have a great Christmas and New Year

Enjoy

Alan

Probably the biggest date in the UK’s clubbing calendar and this year it’s their 10th anniversary…yes Creamfields in upon us. With no expense spared and no stone left unturned, this is not to be missed. This will be the only event worth telling the grandchildren about, with those attending having so many take home memories and more than a few cheeky grins to accompany.

For me, being booked to play at this event is such a privilege and to be given the 2 hour closing set in the Hospitality Arena is an absolute honour. Having first found my passion for Cream some 13 years ago as a clubber and it being the place I took my now wife to on our first date, I thought I should put a bit of a mix together to celebrate.

Charged with a mixture of future anthems and remixes of those of the past, I can assure you, this is only a taste of what I will deliver on the night.

I hope you enjoy listening to this mix as much as I enjoyed putting this together

See you on the dancefloor

Alan

There's no stopping me now....lol

Here is my 2nd mix of '08, more on a funky tip for all fans of Twisted Elegance. So dust down your finest Jimmy C's and get dancing on the kitchen table as this oozes glamour out of every pore


Enjoy

Alan

This is the first full length mix I have done in over 6 years and it's not down to being lazy, more my trying to balance the pressures of my professional career, with being a Director/ Resident DJ at Twisted Elegance. But following my resignation from Twisted Elegance in November 07, I thought it was about time I sorted a mix out. I am not going to label this mix with a genre of house music, as I believe that house is house and people attend parties for the love of the music and to escape the stress of their daily lives, so as a DJ you should play whatever it takes to bring the floor alive and create an amazing atmosphere.

What I will say is that this mix is tougher than the trademark sound of TE in Manchester, but as those who have witnessed me play at other venues such as at Twisted's parties at Nation (Liverpool) and El Divino in Ibiza know, I am not one for predictability and instead will fuel the dancefloor to wring out every ounce of emotion in the clubber through my signature style of breakdowns, big builds and driving basslines

2007 was an amazing year for me as a DJ, achieving many of my dreams guesting at Moneypenny's - Birmingham, Chuff Chuff, HedKandi parties at Nation and finally playing the closing set back to back with Rob Tissera at Kiss Da Funk at El Divino. Now having left Twisted, I am presented with the great opportunity to showcase my versatility as a DJ and to continue doing what I love...putting smiles on clubbers' faces
