As I'd mentioned in my previous bulletins and what-not, I've been working on a new DJ mix for the Radio Nightbreed playlist. It's follows the two mixes I submitted for use in September and is quite simply named Hex In The City Revisited.






It's an hour (or so) long mix of tracks that to the best of my memory replicate the soundtrack to Hex In The City, the weekly goth night that I used to be the resident DJ of at the Giffard Arms in Wolverhampton.

Bearing in mind that 99% of the time, I was the only one spinning a 5-hour set every week (towards the end of things, Wild Bill Buttock would often jump behind the decks while I knocked back Sanatogen and espressos in the back room in order to keep up), it was very hard indeed to not turn it into a good 2-3 hour mix. So many songs were capable of conjuring up the magical times of that period, specifically the earlier half of it, that I had to be pretty harsh about what got left off to get it down to an hour.

Anyway, I just about managed it and in October you will hear it for yourselves on Radio Nightbreed.

It's hard to imagine unless you were there, but many great memories of the Hex In The City regulars came to light for me when I played the mix back to myself after finishing it. I suppose it consists mainly of the most requested tracks of the time, and those tracks which were to be expected of a night in Hex In The City.

Here's a photo I took of the 'Hex Bunch' when two of our original regulars, Wez and DJ Spooky Shaz (as she is now known) buggered off to Australia and spent their last Hex with us. It was a tearful moment for some of us, and not because I played some awful music that night...




Anyway, hopefully you'll enjoy the mix. A little later on in October, I'll make it available to you all as a download, so keep an eye on those bulletins next month, because I won't be posting it on the Myspazz page itself.

Cheers,

DJCB.
