Mix: Niles – Assault on Salford Precinct

By on October 31, 2011 in Mixes

As it’s Halloween it seemed apt that I shared this mix that I originally did for The Moroders, inspired by 1970′s & 80′s Horror Movie Soundtracks…

“When it comes to 2nd hand record shopping there are few sections that are as thrilling to me as the ‘Soundtrack & Library’ one.
An intriguing and beguiling part of the record shop, in between the ’50 Brass Band library tracks’ and ‘BBC Sports Sound Effects’ LP’s you occassionaly come across an old Italian Horror Soundtrack by Goblin or Riz Ortolani or a synth score by John Carpenter or Giorgio Moroder.
Even your mainstream movies have their secret goodies with Pete Best’s ‘Crocodile Dundee’ supplying a low slung Didgeridoo heavy chugger and the breathy, ethereal ‘David at the Institution’ at the end of ‘Endless Love’ is a weird downtempo number worth checking out next time you see it in your local Oxfam.
The library LP is another great mine of little known synth and funk classics in waiting.
Bruton & KPM are the most obvious examples but there are a world of rare and obscure tracks waiting to be discovered by the pioneering digger.
This mix is a collection of Library and Soundtrack music featuring some of the aforementioned producers and labels and, of course, some less well known ones.
It’s horror themed and is best played in a car, alone, on a rainy night. Possibly approaching the outskirts of a rundown industrial city. Maybe you see something out of the corner of your eye. Perhaps there’s an old lady pushing a trolley full of cats. Should you pick up any stray hitchhikers whilst listening to this? Do you really want to stay the night at the decrepit motel you’ve come across…
Feel free to request any I.D.’s in the comments section, I’m happy to help.”

EP003: Niles – Emotional Pop Volume 2

By on February 24, 2011 in Mixes

 Heartbreak, Passion, Rejection, Melancholy, Rage, Desire… They’re all well represented on this, the second volume of the Emotional Pop mix series.

This one is a slow burner, it gets no higher than 110 on the bpm count and spends most of it’s time in the low 80′s but that’s what we’re all about.

It’s so powerful that my turntable got emotional and started speeding up and slowing down during 10cc. If you choose this mix as an accompaniment to some love making and this puts you off your stride I apologise. Just ride it though. It’s a deep track, the old belt-drive clearly got caught up in the moment.

Elsewhere there’s reflections on love from the Art of Noise, loneliness from Eurythmics, passion from Bryan Ferry and shitty Spanish from Madonna.

Stick the heating on, strip down to your smalls and get this on.

Niles – Emotional Pop Volume Two

  • The Art of Noise – Moments In Love (Beaten)
  • Eurythmics – This City Never Sleeps
  • 10cc – I’m Not In Love
  • Bryan Ferry – Slave to Love (Extended Mix)
  • The Cars – Drive
  • Talk Talk – Renee
  • Carly Simon – Why (Vocal 12″ Mix)
  • Annabel Lamb – So Lucky In Bed
  • Madonna – La Isla Bonita (Extended Vocal Mix)
  • China Crisis – Docklands
  • Julie Cruise – Falling (Instrumental)
  • Japan – Ghosts
  • Rose Laurens – Quand Tu Pars
  • RAF – Self Control
