Hello and Happy New Year since this is the first instalment in 2011.


"Spring came early on Tahrir Square"


To make clear this is NOT a political statement as such and I will moderate (delete ;=) any political rant if I were to get any.


Furthermore, let me say that for Europeans I would be\\xa0labelled as a rabid ultra-liberal neo-con and in the States as a pinky liberal socialist softy.. Funny how the word "liberal"\\xa0takes opposite meanings accross the Atlantic divide.


Anyhow, the mix came about when I heard the spontaneous song being broken into on Tahrir Square. It reminded me of what happened in Berlin 20 years ago ( I spent that New Year\'s in Germany), how hopeful\\xa0people were and how elated I was to see the change happening in front of me. It turned out to be a change for good, I sincerely hope it will be the same for all the democratic\\xa0movements in the Middle-East.


A technical point, as I have no access to my music library (migrating platform) and no access to my gear, hence my absence since December, this mix was done on a notebook, with ipod headphones, a very limited choice of tools and tracks.. Rough & Raw... But I had to mark the occasion...


Deep and a bit dark with a bit of sugar at the end... But with a conscience ;=)

Here it is. Raw, rough not particularly current but I do not really mind being back with this. Felt the urge..


Highlights: Snatches & Deep beginning from\\xa0Karol XVII & MB Valence nice deep house! Superman & Juju are fantastic example of Deep and Soulful House. And I love Osunlade\'s Pride with amazing vocals from Nadirah Shakoor.


Will be back with something fun and current.


Be kind to me with this one considering the intention and the absence of any gear..
