Hey all, let me set the scene.

I'm sure anybody who is big on their clubbing will have had that awesome experience of absolute contentment where you're so deep into the music you literally don't give a shit about anything else.

You've had a big night under the strobes. The DJs have taken your spirit on a breathtaking ride for many hours now and as the dawn light starts to draw nearer outside, you head to your favourite after-hour club to wind down. You sip at your favourite liqueur (or dabble in another mood-altering substance of your choice). Your ears are ringing but you don't care. You let your spirit float off, letting it bounce each muffled kick from the subs...

The Mix

You are allowed to play whatever you like in this mix, although it should be no longer than 30 minutes long. However, remember you're playing this to a crowd late, late into the night so we're talking downtempo grooves. Whether you like them mellow or techy or clipped up into breaks, it is up to you, but keep things deep.

Rules

You can record the mix on any "live" system you like. (sorry though, no Ableton please - want it to be realistic like you're really playing it at a club!)
Obviously usual forum Battle rules of encoding it in a 192kbps MP3 with no ID3 tags apply!

i'm totally in for this one! and just to be clear.. if you're talking afterhouer you are talking 7-12 am sunday mornings? Because there is a huge difference in selection when it comes to 5-7am and 7-12 am for me :)

Awesome, thanks m:cake!! :D To be fair, "after-hour" where I live I would consider to be about 6-8am, although obviously this varies from place to place and then there's Ibiza times where "after-hour" might as well be 3 in the afternoon! So I'm just going to say it's the final few hours before you either pass out or go to bed - I'm thinking around the 8am time, Sunday morning.

If I have time I will throw down. Busy weekend ahead though. I say since we are doing the after hours live theme, no mastering. just hit record, and what you it records is what you get.

Man I want to hear some Diva shit, followed by a dank ass empty techno beat, and then like 3 minutes of silence interrupted by movie soundtrack motifs gently rolled in and out of the silence, and then the diva comes back acapella, and it's all techno again, before some booming reverby man's voice shows up out of nowhere and says "It's outer Space" cue the saxophone.
