Creamfields Mix

Alan Hartley — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:08:41 GMT

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

SMILE

Alan Hartley — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:31:51 GMT

Summer is upon us, well so they say! So I have aptly named this mix “Smile” as it’s what we will all start to do as the days get longer, warmer while Ibiza and Creamfields are looming just around the corner It’s a mix of some the old and new of the last six months with a few of my own re-edits thrown in for good measure Beware when listening through headphones in public as extreme Smiling maybe a side effect ;-) Enjoy Alan

Playing With Fire Mix

Alan Hartley — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 20:30:50 GMT

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 I hope you enjoy the mix
