All the promotions team (and this includes myself) had worked exceedingly hard for this month’s party, so as to improve on september, which we felt hadn’t been as good as our previous nights. Promotion can get rather tedious and repetitive at times, we try to make sure we don’t do too much but sometimes we can get a bit carried away so I hope we weren’t too intrusive for people.
My guest for this month was american singer and dj, Mr White, who performed the vocals for the underground acid house music hit ‘the sun can’t compare’ by Larry Heard on his own imprint, Alleviated Records. I don’t think we tried as hard as usual to keep his identity secret – maybe a bit worried about pulling a good crowd in – so quite a few people knew who was to be expected, especially as we had sent out emails promoting the night featuring the youtube link to his song (if that’s not letting the cat out of the bag then I don’t know what is).
So a conjunction of both factors made up for a pretty big crowd, and quite a few music heads too – which is always a good sign. I really didn’t know what to expect djing wise from Chad (mr white) – sometimes artists can be very mediocre on the decks, but I was quick to brush aside any doubts, when he started playing (and singing) his first two records. A great mix of house music ensued sometimes deep and vocal, sometimes pumping and jacking and impeccably mixed, as with most american djs. He also performed his songs, singing on top of the instrumental versions. This contributed to building an extremely warm atmosphere in the club. You can’t beat live performance and crowd interaction for that. The best part was right at the end when he sung ‘sun can’t compare’ and carried on accapella when la java turned the music off (why can’t they wait until the track ends ? so impolite).
I hope you enjoy the mixes posted above. Make sure you skip through at least to listen to Mr white’s singing!

Et mince j’ai raté le Gat Decor, arrivé trop tard (une (mauvaise) habitude)…
Grand bravo pour Mr White, maintenant je ne rêve que d’une chose, qu’il se fasse programmer au Robert Johnson, Ata si tu nous lis ?
Tracklist complète envisageable ?
Excellent tout ces mix !!
Je cherche le nom du track qui suit justement Gat Decor dans le mix de Nick V part2 !! Un classique que je me souviens entendre dans le début des années 2000.
Ah c’est mine to give chanté par Robert Owens et produit par Photek … real house !
Ok Alexandre la tracklist va suivre !!!!
