The Acid Grandads

One of our very own Acid Grandads, Chris Murray is featured on the excellent balearic/disco blog, 500 Miles High, this week.  Check out his Italo House retrospective mix here:

This week we take a long-form approach to Italo-Friday, with an exclusive, hot-off-the-decks, 45 minute mix from Chris Murray.

The fifth instalment of his ongoing Retrospective Mixtape project, this isn’t pure Italo and is more House than Disco, but the energy levels are sky high and frankly, who cares…?

For those who don’t know Mr Murray’s work he’s been a loyal servant of the modern-disco-balearica scene for many years, but (as this mix shows) his DJ roots stretch back to the rave-tastic early 90’s.

Rumours continue to circulate that he is “scaling back operations” but on this evidence he shouldn’t be hanging up the headphones quite yet.

Earlier Retrospective Mixtapes, and much more, can be found on Chris’s Mixcloud page.

See, I did tell you we do a bit of DJing every now and then.  And this isn’t Chris writing this - he’s far to modest to blow smoke up his own ass, so I’ll do it for him.
