within my brief period of spinning parties, clubs, and bars i discovered something about myself:  i am forever destined to be that side room selector.  even when i was in the main room, i still brought the side room cuts along for the ride to try out between the club bangers.  family life ultimately brought the gigs to a halt, but i know i’d be spinning side rooms if i was still out there.  that’s where i always heard the more interesting or challenging selections – didn’t matter what event i was at.  i think that this mix stems out of that love for the side room, whether it’s mocky’s take on isolee or the beautiful enigma that is arthur russell.  if us and us were an actual club monthly, i would demand that all 13 minutes of russell’s “in the light of the miracle” be played each month at some point in the night.  to experience that song on the right sound system…impossible to resist.  it’s the same way i feel about carl craig under his paperclip people moniker or luke vibert’s disco turn as kerrier district.

other cuts of note include the instant sing-along goodness of samuel purdey, the sleek future soul of $tinkworx, the cuddly electronic warmth of capitol k, and towa tei as remixed by cornelius.  this mix represents the midtempo-uptempo side of things; we’ll get downtempo with part two next time.  here’s hoping you enjoy the “side action”…
