Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Stuart NicetraxUK for Part 2 of his Dusk Dubs mixtapes.

Stuart has put together two volumes for Dusk Dubs, last week was Hip-Hop, this week its a journey through his House collection.......

“I've buying records since I was 14 when I got my first paper round and have been buying ever since

First DJ around 18 as an indie DJ in Birmingham then went to the Snapper club at the Hummingbird on a Friday night and heard acid house and Balearic mixed with Indie dance and was hooked. From there went to plenty of raves including Amnesia House, Perception, Energy, Blackburn Raves and many more I can’t remember but have a bag full of flyers somewhere. Also went Ibiza for a summer in 91 and Tenerife during winter, so plenty more clubbing. Other highlights including numerous visits to Hacienda, Shelly’s, Venus and Zap club plenty more I cant remember. Also spent some great night at the free parties with DiY including the infamous CastleMorton weeklong rave.

Went to San Francisco in 1994 for a holiday, went back in 96 and stayed until 2004 working at Tweekin records and playing at all the major parties including Sunset, Bulletproof and up and down the state, in a state.

Since being back started Nicetraxuk record label and brought Mark Farina to East Village Shoreditch for his first gig in London for 5 years or more back in 2012. I feel like I have gone full circle as I am now happy collecting old and new records. Moved to the countryside so no playing out anymore.

This is my second Dusk Dubs volume and I am grateful for getting the chance (thank you guys ) to put these volumes together. For DJ Bookings er…. Give me a shout and I will see what I can do !!!!!!!!!

So I put together a bit like the old mix tapes we used to do a selection of hip-hop and house which was a task I never really thought about as there is no way I could whittle it down to my favourites. So this is what jumped off the shelves and they are all great records.”

House Mix (Side B)

Tracklisting

1) Bang The Party Feat Noise - Bang Bang Attitude Rap
I remember first hearing this on my mates mix tape Paul Moran, it took me on and off looking for this now and again another 25 yrs to find out what it was, only to find out I did have it stashed away, so now I have 2 copies.

2) Prince & NPG - Gett Off (Flutestramental)
I think it was either Steve lee or Paul Oakenfold who dropped this at Betterway @ Institute Birmingham. Loved it from that day on great remix.

3) GusGus vs T-World - Earl Grey
Every track off the 7 track Ep is amazing, but this one stands out for me and is another favourite track of all time.

4) Unique 3 - The Theme
One of those trax from 89 that just stood out at the time and became an all time classic for anyone who went to the early raves or rave nights in clubs.

5) Rave Trax of Love – Untitled
Untitled rave mash up bootlegs again just one of those tunes from the rave scene combining two great stand out trax. Of course copied later by the Scource.

6) If? - Saturday Angels
I heard this on an excellent Slam tape, which I lost and was just one of my favourite tapes. Great indie house crossover.

7) KOT - Unknown
We got this in tweekin records San Francisco - I have no info on it except it has hand written KOT on inner- a fantastic slow house bordering hip-hop track.

8) KOT Feat April - Fall For You
Just got me on a KOT tip so thought this would be a good one to add.

9) Asmo - Music Please
The excellent Bside to Jam the dance – probably a better tune than the A side.

10) Ani - Love Is The Message
Classic deep house from 1994, massive prescription tune .

11) The Mighty Blaze feat Alexander Hope - Feel the Music
I have a few copies of the promo version, just cause I love it so much- has to be one of my all time favourite House trax 1997 pure brilliance.

12) Chez Damier feat Antonie - Close
Probably my second favourite House track again 1997 pure brilliant house music from a legend.

13) Francois K - Time and Space
Would be so wrong to do a house collection without including this man, pure genius and in the top 5.

14) House of Zekkariyas AKA Womack and Womack - Secret star (Sasha Mix)
Think this was when Sasha for me was at his best, what a great rework and just one of those monster trax you used to get around 93.

15) Thompson Twins - The Saint (Def Mix)
Another legendary producer who had to be included, the mighty David Morales, he just kept on bringing out tune after tune in the early 90’s, the man could do no wrong.

16) Murk - Some Lovin
Another great duo from the early 90’s have a good few murk releases, but this stands out as one of their finest.

17) Chris Nazuka - Experience
Fire fire fire fire fire- this is without doubt one of my favourite tunes of all time all genres it just hits all the right notes for me what a blinder.
