VIDEO-Newport Bouncer by The GLC

Every now and then a tv programme comes along and really strikes a chord with the viewing public, it could be a person (Joey Deacon), an accident, (Michael Lush), a death (Tommy Cooper) or just a memorable drama (shower scene in Dallas) They really stand out and become such a talking point that they become well-known and sometimes too well-known for the wrong reasons!

In this instance it was a Channel 4 documentary following around a small group of bouncers around the South Wales city of Newport titled as ‘BOUNCERS’. Or as it featured in the tv guides:-

Newport – the gateway to Wales. Celebrated in the cult YouTube hit Newport State of Mind, the birthplace of Goldie Lookin’ Chain and home to LRS Security, who look after many of the city centre’s bars and clubs.

REVIEW-X-press 2 The House of X-press 2

1. THIS IS WAR
On first hearing this instantly took me back to 1988 and the looping Italio frenzy of Sueno Latino – taking the duo somewhat back to their roots? A real strong opener to a house long player and usually a hard decision of what to put first – something a bit slower and not as in your face or build it up throughout the album a bit more? So they didnt opt for the subtle beginning hence starting with a real solid track featuring vocals from Hannah Scanlon, lead singer of indie group Dolls and the Kicks. I really do like it when artists cross-over and do something outside their comfort zone. The vocal fits the songs very well and is a real strong start to the album.

2011-Firework displays around the world!

I do enjoy a good firework display and capital cities around the world really pushed the boat out and spent millions of pounds to try and give their country the best display they would’ve seen. I’m sure many months of planning had gone into each display from chosing locations, music selection and more importantly the choreography of the whole event.

Having watched them all I feel that the London display won it hands down this year! Sometimes less is more and the firework choreography was spot on with the music selection. It was also great to hear some Welsh artists in the mix and some mashed up by Radio1 and 1Xtra DJ Nihal ! What else could I want! If you are going to only watch one display all the way through make sure its the London display! Complete with the amazing 10 minute mix from Nihal via the Soundcloud player below.

PS Happy New Year – here’s to a great 2012!

MP3-DJ Leekee Dance Yearmix 2003

Taking a trawl through an interesting year in dance music and this my very first attempt at a Yearmix! I must admit that I threw it together in three nights so it might total about 6 hours work! Hopefully I’ve improved since but I thought it was worth letting you all have a listen!

MP3-Dance Yearmix 2011

Well it’s that time of year again when we take a look back at some of the dance hits that were popular (and not so popular) in 2011 and mix them up into one handy chunk – more commonly known as a ‘Yearmix’

I can’t make my mind up whether 2011 has been a bit of a better year than the last few in the realms of dance music – but there still was an amazing selection of tracks to listen to and decide whether they deserved a place in the mix. In my opinion a yearmix couldn’t and shouldn’t just contain all the highest charting dance records which could’ve crossed over into the commerical market but then I didn’t want to make it that underground that noone knew of any of the records included. It’s a hard line to walk and I hope I’ve pulled it off by featuring all the big hits you would expect to be featured from 2011 and then also some other tracks that may not have been as popular outside the UK – but still popular in the clubs.

MP3-DJ Leekee Dance Yearmix 2004

Presenting you with my second ever Yearmix and from a half decent year – 2004! Some club classics around this year from the likes of Mousse T, Basement Jaxx, Deep Dish and Shapeshifters to name a few! Obviously getting some more commerical hits in there aswell. I still listen to this one from time to time!

Bringing you another exclusive megamix of all the big choons from 2004. 50 tracks in 50 minutes! Trawling through this year’s biggest dance tracks and throwing in a few remixes of commerical tracks aswell! I hope this doesn’t cross the line of good taste and is still quite a credible representation of a year in (commerical) dance music! I could’ve just repeated all the house tracks that I featured in my house mixes throughout 2004 but I didnt think would serve any purpose really! I hope you dont mind the ending to this mix either! I wont spoil it for you and let you hear it for your self!

MASHUP-Leona Lewis vs Los Del Rio-Bleeding Macarena(DJ Leekee Mix)

OK Sunday mornings, plus hangover normally equals dodgy mashup time! Well I like to try and justify them by saying that are just a bit of fun! (Maybe not as annoying as The Crazy Frog Megamix though!!)

So this time taking the humungous hit from Leona Lewis and totally cheesing it up with some Macarena action from Los Del Rio (or was it Los Del Mar?)

YEARMIX- Dance Yearmix 2011- Submit your track suggestions now!

Well it’s that time of year to reflect back on what has been quite an average year in the dance music field.
Dance music has diverged with some big producers and DJ’s dominating the commerical charts and others going back underground and continuing the original house spirit.

As per usual I will endeavour to encompass all styles of dance music ranging from the housier side and remixes of the r n b scene with some more obvious house classics and touching on some trance and ending with a slab of dubstep and drum n bass. Yep it all gets thrown into the mix!

So this is where you guys come in! Are there any specific tracks that you would like me to include in this mix to give a true presentation of what was hot on the dancefloor! To revisit the DJ Leekee Dance Yearmix 2010 please click below:-

RUGBY-The Sam Warburton World Cup song

After making such an impression in the 2011 Rugby World Cup so far and leading a team successfully into the semi-finals – the Welsh 23 year old set the internet alight with some amazing ‘Sam Warburton Facts‘ – check out the link to read the best selection.

Whilst a below-par England team came crashing out of the tournament dogged with troubles including drinking, dwarf tossing, bungee jumping before games and ferry ‘hopping’ it seems that Wales captain Sam Warburton has been a leader of a team in total contrast to our English cousins!

To celebrate Sam’s achievements (and the whole teams) Cardiff-born Mark Berridge has created a song titled “Sam Our Captain” Using the music from The Beach Boys’ hit ‘Sloop John B’, it has become the official unofficial Rugby World Cup song with videos appearing online.

Snoop Dogg comes to Cardiff!

in the search of some food and your money….

Local food blogger, Nicola (Nicki) Tudor, to whom the digital world know her as Cardiff Bites became the focus of the online world in Cardiff recently when she was tweeted by international rapper Snoop Dogg.

Nicola runs a food blog ‘Cardiff Bites’ posting about local food and restaurants in South Wales and it seems the rapper wanted to find out more about the food he could expect when his European Tour kicks off in Cardiff on October 2011.

MASHUP-Calvin Harris vs R.E.M. -Alone Love

As REM have recently announced that they are breaking up?!?! (who actually knew they were still together!!) I thought it was time to dust down one of their acapellas and mix it up with some Calvin Harris.
This is only a test mix – i cant make my mind up whether to pitch up or down one of the pellas!
But here it is for you all to sample……all feedback appreciated! Ive now had a further tweak and notched the acapella down so both are supposed to match! (lol)
