For this episode I felt like going with a theme, so I dipped into a folder of tunes simply called "That London Sound". It's a collection of tracks that takes me back to the late 90's. Around '97 when the likes of Jeremy Sylvester (under various guises), RIP and Nu-Birth (again, under various guises) were pumping out garage bangers with synth-based chords, soulful vocals and deep, deep baselines. If you liked the previous 'Speed Garage' episodes of the show, you'll probably like this one too!

I didn't know where to start with this episode so I ended up just closing my eyes and flicking through my selection of tunes. I decided that whatever I landed on was what I would start with. As luck would have it, the fates chose a solid tribal-drum banger from Eric Kupper. What a fantastic place to start! From there it was a steady job of building a set on the fly which is always fun. I managed to work in a few favourites on the way such as "Move Your Body" by Ruffneck and Full Intention's remake of "You're The One For Me".  If you're new to Retro House Mixtape, you can also find me on social media in the normal places :  TikTokInstagramThreadsand Bluesky.

And we're back with another multi-genre mix of old house music. It was a close shave this one, all very last minute and at the time of recording I didn't think it was going to be worth sharing. Fortunately a re-listen the following day with fresh ears confirmed that it was another good-to-go mix. Favourites for this episode include "Boogie Ryda" by Grant Nelson and Bart B More's bootleg edit of Intro by Alan Braxe and Fred Falke which I've been meaning to work into an episode for ages. Full tracklist, as always, is up on the website - www.retrohousemixtape.com Also, my social media game has stepped up a notch, Retrohousemixtape is now on TikTok as well as Instagram, Threads and Bluesky.

"Rhythm is a Mystery" and other five star choice cuts of house music in this episode of Retro House Mixtape. I don't know if you know this... but it has been a bit hot lately. Like, REALLY hot. So hot in fact that I almost couldn't get this episode recorded. The "studio" where I record these episodes was clocking in at 32 degrees C everyday. There was no way I was going to be able to record a set in that heat. Fortunately I managed to hold on for a cooler window and get this mixtape down. And I'm glad I did because this episode is a STORMER! Some absolutely sublime blends are happening throughout this mix. Things start at the deeper end of house for most of the first half of the mix and then we transition into some more well known tunes towards the end.  Full track list can be found on the website - retrohousemixtape.com Hosted on Acast.

Hello there! It's another 60 minute mix of lovely old house music from the 90's and early 2000's. I really enjoyed putting this episode together. There are some long transitions in the first half of the mix where the tracks just kind of melt into each other (that being said, the mix into 'Out of Control' does get a bit wobbly for a moment thanks to a technical issue). Then the energy switches up at the mid-way point and everything kicks up a gear for the finale.

After the Trance shenanigans of the previous episode we are back into the normal Retro House antics for this mixtape. Starting with a garage-esque groove before slipping into some funky house tracks. We then slide into some disco-led house jams and end up in ravey territory. Full track list is over on the site retrohousemixtape.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Way back in 2021 I did a one-off Trance episode of Retro House Mixtape, imaginatively called "Retro Trance Mixtape". Surprisingly it was a very popular episode, pulling in really good numbers alongside all the normal house music episodes. Since bringing the show back online earlier this year I'd been thinking about doing a follow up Trance episode. By complete coincidence I've ended up doing one on what is essentially the 5-year anniversary of the previous Retro Trance Mixtape. What are the odds?  Here we have got ten absolute barnstorming Trance tracks over 60 minutes. My stand-out favourite is the Akira Kayosa remix of System F's "Out Of The Blue". A pure euphoria rush of a track. Full tracklisting is on the website - retrohousemixtape.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are indeed Tripping on Sunshine for this episode. Seeing as we are going through a belter of a heatwave here in the UK, I thought I would put together a sunshine themed mix. Every main track in this mix references the sun in some way or another (not so much the accapellas, maybe think of those as more of a garnish). It's quite the euphoric sound for this mix, not very deep but lots of uplifting vibes. I hope you get to enjoy it on a sunny day.

Yeah I missed putting out an episode last week. Sorry about that. Hopefully this banger of an episode makes up for it. I've gone for a lower tempo for this episode. starting at around the 120bpm range where things have little more of a disco feel to them. There's a favourite tune of mine early in the mix, "Number 1" by Playgroup. I very much recommend checking out the excellent music video that goes with the song. Finishing off the mix is a big hands-in-air anthem "U Sure Do" from Strike. Almost verging into cheese really, but this remix is something I used to play out a lot at the time and I think it sits nicely at the end of this episode. Heard a tune you like?

60 minutes of lovely funky house vibes for this episode. As we slide into the warmer weather for 2026 I decide to dip into some funkier flavours for episode 127. I felt compelled to drop in a stellar Ashley Beedle remix having seen him on Instagram talking about the making of ‘Lazy’. So good to see him smiling and laughing following his health battles from a couple years ago.

What I love about doing this show is digging out tracks that I never realised I had. Case in point is the first tune in this set, a remix of Hysteric Ego's "Want Love". I remember buying this release back in 1998 and being drawn to the speed garage style remix by The Sol Brothers. I never really paid much attention to what else was on the 12" vinyl. Fast forward to 2026 when a few weeks ago I was browsing on Discogs and spotted this same 12". I saw someone leaving a comment on thow good they thought the Timewriter remix was. Off the back of that I immediately dug it out and sure enough I quickly realised that I had to get it into a mixtape.  Check out the tracklisting for this episode via my website - retrohousemixtape.com Hosted on Acast.

It's a 90's tune fest in this episode of Retro House Mixtape. Everything here is from that sweet spot between '96 and '99. There's chunky bass-led garagey rhythms, stompy disco house and some outright all-timer anthems going on in this mix. Find the full tracklist on retrohousemixtape.com Hosted on Acast.

From top to bottom, there's some lovely old 90's house tunes going on in this episode Starting with the all-time classic "Good Life" by Inner City, remixed by Nu-Birth giving it that late 90's London-garage flava. Loving the final tune as well, super-producer Stonebridge with a disco-tinged thumper called "Calling". Hope you like this one.

Once again we venture into a mix of lovely old house music. I tend to do a little bit of planning ahead when it comes to making these episodes. I like to have some kind of a theme or direction in place before I make a start. For this episode however it was a case of "sod it, let's just bung together a bunch of tunes that I like". And that's exactly what we have here. A good few big names on this episode. A favourite of mine is the Futureshock remix of "Music : Response" by The Chemical Brothers.  Check out the whole tracklisting on my website - retrohousemixtape.com Hosted on Acast.

Join us as we step into another bout of house music. Fun little story about the opening track “Bad Things” by Njoi. I bought this back when it came out in 1995 but for some reason I sold it as part of a big clear out prior to moving to Bournemouth in 1999. Fast forward to a year ago, this track randomly popped into my head. I was then immediately kicking myself having sold my copy of it all those years ago. Less than 48 hours later I’m in town with a little time to kill. I pop into a charity shop (I’m obsessed with picking up second hand cd’s) and sitting there in the vinyl rack was this very record. What are the odds? I couldn’t believe it! In excellent condition and only £4. I snapped it straight up. Glad to have it back in my collection. I was bouncing around the room whilst putting this together. I like how it flips halfway through from a clubby vibe into more disco-edged grooves. AS usual it's mostly retro house jams but there's also a cheeky addition of 'As We Step' by the Audio Bullys, a more recent tune that is dripping with retro vibes.
