Re: Guest Mix: Widowmaker’s Winter Mix

long time listener — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 10:21:40 -0000

I used to listen to this all the time but lost the files so I came back here to get it again and the download link is broken for both the download and to widowmakers soundcloud upload.

I didn't like it at all. It looks like Break Beat mixed with Techno.

This new look website also looks boss. Nice update.

The gift that never stops giving. I like them all but 4-6 are especially superb, and 7-8 have dialled up to 11.

Would you have any examples of the more egregious tunes you talk about? Ones with the more ridiculous samples etc?

Re: Pearsall presents 75 Shadows 001: 1993 [Moving Shadow Tribute]

Pearsall — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 10:19:46 -0000

thanks! Sunset Over Stevenage was always a pretty funny title, I know Stevenage is a pretty humdrum commuter town, so it makes it sound quite dramatic!

Nice mix! Great to find another advocate for 1993 as the best year vs the pro-1992 and 1994 camps! There really were some absolute belters on Moving Shadow and I love the fact that they are/were local to where I live. Nookie once had a record shop in Hitchin (my medium sized town in Hertfordshire) while Moving Shadow was based out of neighbouring Stevenage, which was namechecked on the flip of the Remix 2 version of Helicopter Tune (SHADOW 41R2). The name of that tune, Sunset Over Stevenage always makes me laugh given what an absolute shit hole it is!

Thanks for doing this mix! Jungle Techno passed me by as i was just too young for proper rave tunes in 1993 and by 1994 when i got into it, like you said, it had disappeared already. Everyone was always looking forward then and older styles were swiftly dismissed as old hat. Perhaps not suprisingly, 93 and very early 94 is now my favourite era and i love it when new producers smash out a jungle techno stomper -- in fact i own a fair few of these tunes myself and they are fantastic (including your very own very excellent Crossbones track). It's very nice to have them sequenced and mixed so I don't have to get up and change the records over lol (i sadly cannot DJ, although i would love to be able to).

Berlin is so BIG! I love walking around it when I've visited. Really looking forward to listening to this mix - appreciate your synaesthetic descriptions too, definitely makes sense to me, even if mine are a little different!

Thanks a lot! Sorry for the slow reply, really need to sort out a way to get an alert from Disqus when I get a new comment

Kuzzy Kuz — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 06:49:25 -0000

Fair play dude, you've earned those 250K listens. I really enjoy coming back here every week or two in the hope of finding a new mix. While I don't love every genre you work with, there's more hits than misses and I prefer being surprised than it getting a bit predictable and stale. As I've said before, as well as the music, I love the fact that you take the time to write up the story behind each mix, as well as creating cue files and tracklists - which is unique as far as I can tell. Here's to 500K listens!

Re: Pearsall presents Full Metal Jacking (A Jerome Hill Tribute)

Kuzzy Kuz — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 08:21:57 -0000

What a treat! A tribute set AND an interview with the subject of that tribute! I only really know Jerome Hill's Hornsey Hardcore persona in terms of production, so I'm going to enjoy exploring the rest of his output via this mix.

Kuzzy Kuz — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 08:50:05 -0000

I love your site and keep coming back to it to re-listen to the mixes and read and re-read your brilliant write-ups. I always get something new out of it as I will have discovered more gems in the meantime. I credit you with getting me into Jungle Techno which had all but disappeared by the time I started raving in 94/95. Your darkside mix also reignited my love of that genre and sparked a major Discogs deep dive that's still going strong. Keep on mixing and writing! Big Up!

Lovely mix, would like some Congo Natty in there.

I discovered this site through Digitally Imported, specifically the Oldschool Acid channel where I saw the 'Pearsall Mixes'. Acid techno is among my favorite genres. Pearsall's acid techno mixes get heavy play, but the other mixes are also a pleasure to listen to. LOVE the Juke post as well! Since I am from Toronto, Canada, please allow me to expose you to one of our better local DJ's, Sanderson Dear, whom I have followed since the mid-to-late 90's. I uploaded a couple of his mixed tapes from that era, with more to follow. If you like deep house, it doesn't get any better.

Great mix and very nice selections of tracks. I almost forgot that I was listening to new tracks. It felt like a real 90s era mix. I really enjoyed listening to it and appreciate all your good mixes. Thanks for the effort.

Re: Pearsall presents Meaty Aged Acid Dad (Old Skool Banging Acid Techno)

Kuzzy Kuz — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 07:20:27 -0000

Great to see some new posts. Please keep going as I love the write-ups as much as the music, particularly when you go in depth about your selection. Listening now and sounds awesome, although I was a junglist at heart back in the day, I actually went to more acid techno nights as the atmosphere and crowds were so much better vs the moody jungle nights in Birmingham and London.

Also, shout out to the Misjah and Tim tune, Access - it never gets old. Remember going nuts to that back at Atomic Jam and the link in the Que Club around 1995 or so.

Awesome stuff, just so you know - the link for separated Part5 is wrong - it points to Part 4.

This mix is absolutely tearing! So fierce. The Amen mayhem is incredible and so of it's time, I miss it!

Re: More info about the mixes

Kuzzy Kuz — Mon, 21 May 2018 15:14:28 -0000

Hi, love your blog and the attention to detail you have with all the info about the mixes. I have a question that I’m struggling to find an answer for in Google. You mention using split files on your iPod - how can I use the cue sheets to do something similar in iTunes so I can get them on my phone? I can’t figure out how to get the cue sheets into iTunes basically. It works fine in VLC but that’s only for desktop. Thanks in advance and looking forward to the next mix (hope it’s an old school breakbeats one! )

Re: Pearsall presents Beyond Ecstatic (Hardcore Goes Jungle) [The 780 Project Part 10]

Kuzzy Kuz — Mon, 14 May 2018 16:28:57 -0000

Cracking mix sir! Really enjoyed this one given that I’m a former junglist that got into it between and ‘94 and ‘96 but have more recently fallen in love with hardcore (after always having a soft spot for happy hardcore). These are pretty much all new tunes to me and I’m like a pig in shit! This will be on heavy rotation for some time. Salute!
