Sound Investments

Hi all, been a while eh?

Another flashback mix for you lovely people to download. This time by popular demand (ie. one of my mates lost the CD and loved it so much asked if he could get another copy .

This mix was a promotional mix I did for www.astrojazz.co.uk the home of Astroboy, co-founder and resident DJ of Edinburgh's legendary Departure Lounge night at The Caves. Possibly one of Edinburgh's most consistently good nights for all things broken, dub, jazzy and all round worldwide vibes. For more info and cheap tickets to what will no doubt be NYE party of the year in Edinburgh go to www.departurelounge.me.uk They've hosted nights with such varied quality acts such as Candi Staton, Jazztronik, Azymuth, Gilles Peterson, Eska Mtungwazi, Bansuri, Marly Marl, Patrick Forge, Mark De Clive-Lowe, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Recloose, The Bamboos, Kokolo, Platinum Pied Pipers, Ed Motta, Mad Mats, Dom Servini, Spiritual South, Benji B, Teddy Rok, Zero dB, Ty, Paul Murphy, Part Time Heroes, New Mastersounds, Lubi Jovanovic, Broke'n'English, DJ Nuts, Belleruche, Diesler, Nostalgia 77, Russ Dewbury, Mr Scruff, Roy Ayers, Antibalas...and many more.

The description on said website is as follows...

"Local head Gary Mallett provides the vibes here. Look out for him at various bars and clubs in Edinburgh. An up-and-coming decksmith."

Up and Coming Decksmith... I can handle that!

Expect jazz, soul, funk, hip hop, house, broken beat, and a very early airing of a Mark Ronson cover courtesy of a promo copy I got. Look at him now!

Hope you like it. I'll lay off the retro "Tax Return" mixes and put up a brand new episode of Sound Investments as a Christmas present to you all in good time.

After leaving my job after 5 1/2years I threw a wee goodbye get down at my friend Gav's new bar (www.underthestairs.org). Got everyone who came to dress up accordingly in dresses, suits, tie (as pictured!) and we all got right in amongst it.

Good times, good friends, good drinks, good tunes, good fun!

Here's the mix I gave out to everyone who came for those who couldn't make it. It's a real fun mix with a good selection of varied genres but all of it is on the money... enjoy! E-Mail me if you'd like the cover for download.

Hi all,

Back in 2005 I was jetting off to Spain for some well deserved time in the sun. While DJing at Opal Lounge I decided to mix myself a wee poolside soundtrack on my minidisk player (remember those?!).

Last week I discovered the disc, gave it a listen and was taken straight back to chilling by the pool, sipping on San Miguels and late nights out. With Summer (apparently) here I thought I’d post this reminiscent mix for you all to download…

Expect deep funk, classic soul, latin sounds and more. As usual I hope you enjoy…

This will be the first of a few mixes from back in the day I’ll be posting, so aim your I-tunes at this site and enjoy the first instalment of Gary on the Money’s “Tax Returns”…

Sound Investments April 2008

Hi there, been a good while since posting some new music for you all. This mix starts off with a dedication to my Dad,
whose birthday it was back on April 1st (THE April fool!). Without my Dad listening to old Motown/Stax music when I was
younger I wouldn't have the taste and knowledge I have today. "Risin to the Top" by Keni Burke, here in it's 12" full form
is a gem of early eighties soul brilliance. He was also one of the first guests at Southport's now Legendary Soul
Music Weekender. now in its 23rd year.

Summertime is the theme of this mix. Positive, Sunny, Smiley and Soulful music whether it be disco or whatever.
I find the Sugarhill Gang's "Hot, Hot, Summer Day" is a great tune, sampled by the man Theo Parrish for one of his Ugly
Edit releases way back when, a gentleman visiting Edinburgh next weekend for a wee shindig at Cabaret Voltaire.
Highly recommended and only for a fiver!

See you down the front!!!

And if you're around the Edinburgh area on May 17th I've got the pleasure of supporting Jesse Rose and Gareth Somerville
at Ultragroove at Cabaret Voltaire from 11pm. See www.ultragroove.co.uk for more info.

Oldies and new sounds mixed up. Deeper slant towards the end. Too long for a CD but not long enough for my liking!! Kicking off with some Donald Byrd, Gil Scott Heron, Edinburgh new-legends the Linkwood Family and into some Marvin Gaye, Trus'me, broken beat, deep as shit House Music right through to Quentin Harris' now legendary remix of Leela James and finishing with the best N'Dambi remix I've heard since the Yam-Who re-edit of "Call Me" as featured on Bugz in the Attic's Fabric Live Compilation and a hell of a load of live sets by yours truly.

Hope you enjoy it. Spread it to your friends.
