Now in its 8th year, 20 Choice Edits & Reworks is a personal selection, based on new interpretations of tracks I’ve been playing during the previous 12 months. These don’t include official remixes of older tracks (for example, Joey Negro’s excellent update of ‘Can’t Live Without Your Love’ by Tamiko Jones this year), reflecting the more underground nature of the edits scene, where DJs share their work either digitally or via limited vinyl pressings. The full selection is available to stream via SoundCloud: Continue Reading →

20 Choice Edits & Reworks 2018

Having been published as a yearly feature via the Secret Life website since 2012, this year we take 20 Choice Edits & Reworks in-house with all inclusions now available to stream via SoundCloud in a playlist with a running time of over 2 hours:
Life Begins At 40 – DJ Derek Kaye Man And Boy
40 years ago, you could go into a club and have no idea where the DJ was, let alone who they were.

This Sunday (December 2nd) at 9pm, you’re invited to share a listening session with some likeminded souls, wherever you might be.

If it’s not possible to make the allotted time, hopefully you can join in at your convenience at some point during the following weeks. See update here:

Turntable Edits
I’ve just uploaded three previously unavailable ‘turntable edits’ (as I called them at the time), which can now be streamed at my MixCloud page. Back when I did them in 1984, their original purpose was to help me in my forlorn quest to make a breakthrough into remixing, but they were also played on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio during Timmy Mallett’s award winning ‘Timmy On The Tranny’ shows, which hit the bullseye with the teenage audience they were aimed at.
