Ollie Brooke ollie@purehousemusic.net no Hmmm, well let me start by telling you what's not in this mix. There's no singing, there's no guitar, sax, trumpet, piano or vibe solos, there's not much melody and there's not much rhodes. I have been inspired by some of the better deep mixes on the site over the last while from people like Marcodeep, Nick Vidal, Richie Allen, JP Blanchet, Rory C and Slade (among others, apologies if I forgot you!) so wanted to throw my 2 cents into that particular ring. I imagine this mix would be best heard at about 4 or 5 am when everyone's sitting round monging out. Alertnatively as a warm up in a half decent club. In essence this mix is for the dancefloor, it's not a dancefloor I've yet had the opportunity to play to but I'd imagine it would be quite good fun if I ever do get the chance. I make limited apologies to those who favour the more soulful side of my mixing, I did this one for myself, happy with most of it, a couple of dodgy mixes here and there (apologies to Joshua Heath for butchering the start of Neighbour Noise). Enjoy :) http://www.purehousemusic.net/index.php?page=mixes&id=2841&referrer=feed Ollie Brooke PureHouseMusic.net PureHouseMusic.net presents Torrid by 2841 Ollie Brooke Ollie Brooke's latest mix on PureHouseMusic.net Hmmm, well let me start by telling you what's not in this mix.

Starting off nice and soulful with an absolute classic and possibly the first slab of deep soulful stuff I really fell for - such a shame that Solveig is off chasing the dollars now but as he may say himself - c'est la vie! Props to DJ Marcodeep and Nick Vidal for putting me onto Soulfiction - available from afrodesiamp3.com On the mix goes into some funkier territory so hopefully there's enough ground covered to keep y'all groovin - it makes me happy so that's all that counts! :P http://www.purehousemusic.net/index.php?page=mixes&id=2663&referrer=feed Ollie Brooke PureHouseMusic.net PureHouseMusic.net presents Copenhagen by 2663 Ollie Brooke Ollie Brooke's latest mix on PureHouseMusic.net Bit of a memory of the couple of gigs I did in Copenhagen here, for posterity!

Starts off nice and soulful then goes a bit dubby and bumpy for a bit before re-merging with a more electronic soulful angle and then heading back towards a more vocal place. Overall a fairly cruisy trip through various angles of House with the occasional dodgy glitch for character ;) Enjoy! http://www.purehousemusic.net/index.php?page=mixes&id=2256&referrer=feed Ollie Brooke PureHouseMusic.net PureHouseMusic.net presents Wave Hopper by 2256 Ollie Brooke Ollie Brooke's latest mix on PureHouseMusic.net Not really sure what to say about this one.

A lot of the newer stuff I've been getting hold of is very reminiscent of that vibe so combining what I know now with what I knew then is something I'm enjoying - almost like a recalibration of what I like to listen to and play. I reckon the mix overall is a fairly engaging movement through a number of vibes and sounds and hopefully you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! http://www.purehousemusic.net/index.php?page=mixes&id=1422&referrer=feed Ollie Brooke PureHouseMusic.net PureHouseMusic.net presents Packet Of Dice by 1422 Ollie Brooke Ollie Brooke's latest mix on PureHouseMusic.net Some old and some new. this mix represents a further reinvestigation of some of the prog I was getting into shortly before I moved to Australia.

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:29:42 -0700 5400 house, music, mix, dj, deep, soulful, funky, electro Another something a bit different here from me. I just decided I wanted to play some of the more disco sort of alternative stuff and started on that tack, threw in some of my older tracks and was pretty happy with things until I felt the need to go a bit harder. So Bert Dunk's "Groove Y'all" seemed to jump out at me, after initially thinking it hadn't worked I was pleasantly surprised to hear how well it did in fact work. Things stay dubby and chunky from there on, this one's the sort of mix you put on at about 10 pm at a House party, things are nice and chunky by the end but still barely hitting the 124 bpm mark. Mixing's a little bit rough in places but then the tracks aren't all that mixing friendly so I'll forgive myself for that... http://www.purehousemusic.net/index.php?page=mixes&id=879&referrer=feed Ollie Brooke PureHouseMusic.net PureHouseMusic.net presents Sucker Punched Monkey by 879 Ollie Brooke Ollie Brooke's latest mix on PureHouseMusic.net Another something a bit different here from me.

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 15:10:26 -0800 5400 house, music, mix, dj, deep, soulful, funky, electro Hmm, well this is a bit different from what you may be used to. It's very soulful in that it's music I played from my soul but don't be expecting disco samples and divas. This mix is a shade deeper, quite progressive in parts but the overall vibe was supposed to capture those closing moments of a big late night party, be it a House Party or a warehouse party. When everyone's had about as much dancing as they can take but still want to get their groove on, this one's planned as a mix to settle people and prepare them for a return to reality or to move on and pick up somewhere else on a Sunday afternoon. http://www.purehousemusic.net/index.php?page=mixes&id=865&referrer=feed Ollie Brooke PureHouseMusic.net PureHouseMusic.net presents Towards The Dawn by 865 Ollie Brooke Ollie Brooke's latest mix on PureHouseMusic.net Hmm, well this is a bit different from what you may be used to.

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 18:29:22 -0700 5400 house, music, mix, dj, deep, soulful, funky, electro Took me a while to get this one out. the mixes aren't all as smooth as they could be but I'm pretty happy with the end result and flow of vibe and emotion. Starting with some deeper dubbier sounds and gradually escalating before dropping some warm melodic soulful vibes. Overall this is a deeper mix and I am enjoying exploring this sort of thing more and more, in other words consider parts of this mix to be prototype work!

This one runs from about 9pm to about 10:30 and follows immediately on from Part 1. It's a fairly warm, vocal and cruisy vibe all throughout, gets a bit more deep in the middle and comes back up again with Belezamusica, I'm particularly happy with the mix there out of Funky Planet! Anyway, most of the tracks are featured in my more recent mixes here so if you don't like those sets then you prolly won't enjoy this too much!

This one was the one that I was happiest with and here's the first part of the night. This set starts at 8pm and runs for an hour. Pretty much just covers a range of styles and sets the tone for the night. Part 2 is 3 hours long and continues directly from where this one finishes.
