Following up on part 1 of the Emotional Robot series, which got into the top charts on Mixcloud for deep house, electronica and deep tech house, here is part 2. This one continues the journey through lockdown tunes. The story continues with our robot protagonist assimilating into the human condition and learning to understand and deal with emotions of sadness and longing. Or at least that's what comes to my mind after putting this mix together. It's a little bit more on the emotive side but with some driving tech house rhythms. Highlights include Charles Webster's beautiful live mix of Love Song 28 and Kolsch and Beacon's Pause. Both tracks featured on a more melodic downtempo Last Night on Earth podcast by Sasha. I think they fit right in here with some of the more driving tech house tracks. The first track 'Sherbert Head' by Boards of Canada I wanted to start with because it's like tuning in to a station before progressing with the mix. Thanks for listening. Tracklist: Boards of Canada - Sherbert Head Jullian Gomes - Love Song 28 (Charles Webster Live Mix) Roy Rosenfeld - Helena Kolsch & Beacon - Pause Space - Magic Fly (Amonita & Makebo Edit) Sebastien Leger - Giza Roy Rosenfeld & Guy Mantzur - Kryptonite Mass Digital - I Need Space to Breathe Cosmonauts - Ramble Joel Mull - Gloden Maceo Plex - Cinemax Jamie Jones & Harvy Valencia - Electric Mama FOALS - My Number (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix) BAILE - Without (Tim Green Dub) Clarian - Unrest

I've gotta thank the Polish Rastafarian Jacob, Graeme's pal, for tracks 2-4. He played them at Resurrection Spirits and I loved them but the recording of his mix was shite so I brought them together somewhat for this mix. The rest is inspired a lot by Sentre, who have been producing some amazing tracks and Sasha's Last Night on Earth podcast and label. Some great tracks on here. One iffy mix in there but left it in for posterity's sake 😉 Which one is it? Also, keep an ear out for the movie samples in there. Can you name them? There are about a dozen. Let me know in the comments...   Sentre - Canadian Vibes, Yuksek feat. Polo & Pan - Cadenza, Crowd Control - If You Like, Kiu D - Deep in My House, Purple Disco Machine - Emotion, Robert Surace - Joys, Lawrence Hart & Casually There - Swimming Up, Ben Bohmer - Purple Line, Sentre - Enterprise, Roy Rosenfeld - The Biggest Heart, Sentre - U & Me, Cebb - Solar Path, Tibi Dabo - Nowhere Beach, Sasha - Comet Chaser, La Fleur - Aphelion (Effy Mix), Caribou - Sun (Kastis Torrau and Arnas'D Remix), Hans Zimmer - Time (Tale of Us Mix)

I really wanted to bring you all of Graeme Jon's set along with these segments (it's about 4 hours in total) but we had some issues with the recording from his DJ system into our main one. Anyhow, check out the earlier mixes for Graeme's amazing tracks and mixing style. For this one, you're stuck with me, although I think there are a couple of guest mixes/tracks by Graeme hidden in here that didn't sound like the levels were blown. Hope you like it. I have a guest mix from Dry Stems to post soon as well as more from Graeme and I.

This one is house all the way but with a variety of different styles and a nice little 3 hour build-up in intensity and depth. Graeme's at it for the first section then I take over, then back to Graeme, and then me. To me to you to me to you! If you get that reference, there's something wrong with you. Anyhow I don't have a list of Graeme's tracks so I'm gonna publish these monster 3 hour sets without a tracklist from now on. If you hear anything you like or recognize, give us a comment. Oh! We're gonna do weekly Mixology starting August on Fridays so buckle in for the ride!

It's a recording of a live party mix for Matt & Mel's wedding reception guests... And it's pretty solid in terms of execution apart from having to deal with a few drunken guests attacking the DJ booth (Volvo Tom & Steve O'Neill) but these bits add to the flavour... Anyhow take a look at the tracklist: it's pretty diverse... A balancing act between playing songs people know and keeping it fun to mix and playing a bunch of genres in one set... 3 hours of party tunes including one unknown random speed garage track from Tony near the end...   George Baker - Little Green Bag, Marvin Gaye - Got To Give It Up, Robin Thicke & Pharrell Williams - Blurred Lines, Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (feat.

I like that I get to put two remixes by Andre Lodemann in here. Very underrated. Also, the Patrick Topping tunes steal the show. It also has some old school, some bangers and gets progressively more techy and bass-heavy. Goes down perfectly with a lemon ginger smash from Resurrection Spirits in East Vancouver. Even if I do say so myself.   Nicolas Jaar - Time For Us, Prommer & Barck Feat Lois Longerling - Lovin (Andre Lodemann Remix), Black Van - Yearning (Original Mix), Hardrive - Deep Inside [Original Version], Stefano Noferini - Disco's Revenge (Original Mix), Fatboy Slim - Praise You (Purple Disco Machine Mix), Mathew Jonson – Automaton, Dominik Eulberg - Opel Tantra (Original Mix), Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa - One Kiss (Patrick Topping Remix), Green Velvet - Flash (Jamie Jones Remix), George Fitzgerald - The Echo Forgets, Hot Natured feat.

The tracks are a kind of retrospective of my favourite tunes of the last few years, hence the 'Old Fashioned' name, which is one of Resurrection's famous cocktails. It's not on the menu right now so you'll have to ask them to make it for you! Hope you enjoy the mix. Here's to a fantastic 2019.   Blue Fields - Seven X Seven (John Tejada Remix), Bas Amro – Ten (Vincenzo Remix), Disclosure - Latch (Jamie Jones Remix), Bat For Lashes - Rest Your Head (Manik Host Pines Rework), Tigerskin - Shea's Gone, Moon Boots - Red Sky (Original Mix), Bicep - Satisfy (John Talabot Rain Mix), Patrick Topping - Forget (Original Mix), Ilario - Gladis (Original Mix), CamelPhat & Elderbrook – Cola, Jamie Jones - Kooky Chords (Original Mix), Jaded, James Petrou - Toni's Pain (INXEC's Morphine Mashup), Maceo Plex - Stop Your Hate, Chvrches - Leave a Trace (Four Tet remix)

This place has the best cocktails, a really great vibe, and fantastic people. We invite you down to the last Saturday of every month. Next one is Saturday, December 29th. This mix is hard and heavy in places and melodic and floaty in others... Definitely quite club-oriented for a bar in East Van but I love these tracks... It's very Sasha inspired with hints of all my favourite DJs: Laurent Garnier from back in the day and his Laboratoire mix, Jody Wisternoff from Way Out West, Jamie Jones, and Maceo Plex.   St. Germain - Sentimental Mood, Blaze - Moonwalk, Jesse Rose - Night At The Dogs, Jesse Rose - Miss Taker (Feat. David E Sugar), Jamie Jones - Somewhere 2009, Jin Choi - Half Baked (Maceo Plex Deep Remix), Justin Martin - Molokini (DJ Version), Duke Dumont - Won't Look Back (Shadow Child Mix), Breach & Dark Sky - The Click, Tiger Stripes - Baby, Dusky - Cold Heart, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas - I Feel Space, Dems - House (Evil Nine Remix), Chvrches - Leave a Trace (Four Tet remix), Lonely Boy - When I Think About (Giom Remix), Olivier Weiter & Alex Preda - Zebra (Einmuzik Mix), Sentre - Make Me (Extended Mix), Dominik Eulberg - Abendpfauenauge, Bicep - Rain
