Frigid @ The Hopetoun

Way back when I first learnt to DJ, I had time to spend on mixes and projects and perfecting everything to make it just the way I wanted it to be. My good friend DJ Buggin', who went on to be a regular at the Frigid Parties @ The Hopetoun, hooked me up with my first gig there in 2002. I was so psyched to play this set, and I probably spent 3 months practicing, fine-tuning and rearranging the tracklist of this mix. The end product hopefully conveys some of that effort, but in all honesty, this was the first complete mix that I ever put together, and my scratching has certainly come a long way since 2002. I did, however, get a lot of good feedback about this mix, and maybe for that reason alone, I've decided to upload it. The vibe is downtempo, dark and moody, and it very much captured the kind of sound I was into at the time: I was consumed by the output of labels like Mo Wax and Ninja Tune, and just starting to discover the back catalogue of the Warp label.
