Warehouse Decay Session 5 was influenced by the nostalgic old-skool House sound that seems to be present in a lot of my favourite records since getting my turntables set up again. Of the records I've been ordering, I'm increasingly drawn to that 90s garage sound that you can hear on labels like Local Talk, Traxx Underground and Saft and so I decided to put together a pile of records on which this is particularly prevalent.
I must confess, I did try to order them properly so that everything would flow on the mix - listening back, it doesn't sound perfect but it will certainly do. I've been meaning to get a mix of this sound together for weeks now, so I'm pleased that I'm finally able to share this music with you.
Most of my favourite current artists and labels feature here and Jason Grove features twice for reasons that your own ears will reveal if you listen. If you're new to this house sound but it sounds too familiar to be new, then I'm afraid you're mistaken and your ears are playing tricks. All of these records are recent and have been released in the last couple of years, that is...until the last track. The Malone and Mollison EP has been a secret weapon of mine for years. Released in 1995, this one was dubbed as old-skool back then!

Warehouse Decay Sessions number four continues the series, delving through yet more of my ever growing collection of House wax. This session, I intended to mix everything on the fly, including some of my recent purchases against older records. It starts off deep and dubby but doesn't stay like it for long. Housier moments come and go here and there and towards the latter stage of the mix, things get heavier as I throw in a few records I used to play out just before I packed it all in. The mix is rounded off with a couple of quirky records, starting with Tom Ellis' 'Thing One', a superb piece that uses sax to great effect. The closing track is by Hugo from a great EP on Floppy Funk.
