CarWashAngels - Latin, Electro and Funky House

So far, our scottish summer has been 'patchy' to say the least. As I write this, i'm looking out onto a big black cloud overhead! Luckily for us though, house music hasn't taken the same turn. Shangaling, Down Down Down and Paddys Revenge are just a handful of brilliant tracks on general release over the last month or so that i'd expect to see hammered on numerous compilations on the months to come.

Having spent the last couple of days driving round Scotland listening to some of my favourite compilations from past, this mix had to include Changes and We Interrupt This Programme - two of my alltime favourite tracks.

As usual, this is a happy disco/funky house affair with a splash of the electro stuff towards the end.

I've not been able to update the website with new details for this (all the files are on my old computer), but it's given me the excuse to revamp it a little and start a fresh design. Hopefully have it up and running for start of September!

Anyway, tracklist below, have a good month, and spread the word!

01: Chris Lake - Changes
02: T-Street - Keep on Running
03: Eighteen ft Stephanie Mills - Put A Little Rush On Me (Moto Blanco Mix)
04: Freak n Funky - Down Down Down
05: JCA presents Solaphonics - Total Love
06: Soul Power feat MJ White - Back To Me
07: Steve Mac - Paddys Revenge
08: Jean Claude Ares and Vincent Thomas - Shingaling
09: Jayl Funk - Washed Car (Muza Yakuza Fonky Shit Mix) / Morumba (DJ Tool)
10: Bimbo & Lemar - Music (B&K Jazz Rub)
11: The Shapeshifters - Chime
12: Coburn - We Interrupt This Programme
13: Armand Van Helden - My My My (Klass Remix)
14: Micky Slim - Jump Around (Tommy Trash Remix)
15: Jon Pegnato - Over It

Alrighty, if you hadn't noticed, we've moved from fortnightly releases to monthly. Without repeating any tracks, fortnightly mixes had the chance of becoming flat and stale and it's quality, not quantity that counts!

This edition is a tad tougher than usual, and as you'll see by the tracklist, there's no hanging about! Must be that months break since the last one that got me stuck straight in there
Favourite track in the mix is probably Ultra Flava - it's one i've not heard in years but i've not been able to put down for the last few weeks. Feedback, as always is greatly appreciated! Either drop us a line through podOmatic mail (http://carwashangels.podOmatic.com) or through bebo (http://carwashangels.bebo.com).

Enjoy the mix, and see you again at the start of July! Oh, and someone remind me to buy some new bloody acapellas!

So, another fortnight gone, another podcast ready to be launched! As usual, it's a highly feel-good, high energy disco/funky house affair, but this week I managed to end with two trancier/progressive tracks i've had on repeat for months! There's been a stack of fantastic new releases over the last couple of weeks (summer's definatly on the way!) and i've included my pick of the bunch in here. There's also been a fair few cheeky remixes done (check out Workidz's My Street Sounds) - and if the quality and quantity of them keeps up, there will be a cheeky bootleg session coming to a podcast near you soon

As always, i'm proud of this mix, and hope you enjoy it as much as I had mixing it!

It was back in 97/98 I first started getting into house music, spending every last penny I had on vinyl and every minute of every day practicing mixing in my parents garage. Last week I set up my old, nackard Numark's, dusted off some records I'd forgot I owned and fell in love with house music all over again. It was my intention to keep it pre 2002, but I couldn't quite manage a vinyl only set (there's some newer tracks I couldn't leave out - and a few I couldn't get hold of on vinyl).

I really hope you all like this set, it's the most enjoyable podcast i've mixed so far! Please remember to spread the word, add yourself as a fan and add comments at http://carwashangels.podOmatic.com/

Tracklist as always on http://www.carwashangels.co.uk/

See y'all again in a couple of weeks!

As promised, one DJ set full of electro house that makes campcarwash very happy - very happy indeed! 68 minutes of textbook buildup with a bunch of new tracks and some monsters from the last year or so. It's edgy, beefy, and demands to be listened to loud. To be honest, it'd be rude if you didn't

Hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did recording it, see you all again in a couple of weeks!

Although it's only mid-March, i've had a sense of summer about me this week. While recording this mix the sun kept streaming in through the windows and I couldn't help but making this second podcast 70 minutes of full on feel good house music. There's been some excellent electro released recently and I had every intention of giving this mix an edgeier feeling, but the powers of disco took over

This session includes a new track from Whelan and Di Scala, a cheeky bootleg remix from the Freemasons, a little tribal from Mastiksoul and a couple of acapella's thrown in for good measure!

As usual, tracklisting and cue file available at http://www.carwashangels.co.uk/

Enjoy the mix, and see you in a fortnight!

The first mix in a long series is always the hardest. You want to capture your audience but you don't want a set full of overplayed anthems. This set has captured exactly how I like to play out, with a good balance of new tracks (The Way), anthems (Be Without You) and classics you forgot existed (Lovin' Is Really My Game). If you ever needed to sum up CarWashAngels in 77 minutes, this would be it. Enjoy, and see you again in a fortnight.

Thanks,
Chris. x
