The second release in my Archive Edit series is here, and this one takes things in a very different direction from ArchiVe001.
This time, I’ve reworked Ruff Driverz – Dreaming, but the process was completely different; rather than rewriting the melodies from the original, the edit is more of a mash-up. It started with me prepping for a gig while on a train —I was searching for something in the same key to layer live in the mix, but as I had a couple of hours to kill, I decided to make something, rather than just picking a track to blend live. I layered the beats from one of my own projects with elements of Dreaming, trimming and arranging until the two felt glued together.
This track holds a lot of nostalgia for me. It takes me back to a time when I was first getting into electronic music. My entry point was trance, and that unmistakable guitar hook and Spanish vocal instantly transported me to a sun-soaked beach in Ibiza. Back then, I’d never actually been—but I’d religiously read Mixmag and DJ Mag, watched Ibiza Uncovered on TV, and devoured all those Essential Ibiza mix compilations. I had this vivid, almost cinematic image in my mind of what the island would be like, and I was dreaming (🥁) of the day I’d finally be old enough to go experience it properly.
The second track from the Archive series is live now on SoundCloud. Hope you love it as much as the first! The final track in the series and the free download link drops Friday—stay tuned 🎁

This week, I’ve got three special edits for you – little Christmas presents to wrap up the year; introducing my new ArchiVe Edits series. The first drops today, with two more coming on Wednesday and Friday.
Kicking things off is my edit of a true classic: Ultra Naté – Free. I made this back in 2021, right after the lockdowns ended. My first gig back was at Mint Warehouse in Leeds, where I played at one minute past midnight on the 22nd of June as restrictions were lifted. I opened with this track that night – the message couldn’t have been more fitting.
This isn’t just a straightforward edit. I treated it more like a remix, replaying all the musical parts with different synths, while keeping the original vocal and a guitar sample. It’s very much my own interpretation, and I’m really proud of how it turned out.
Since then, it’s become a closing staple in my sets, and I always love playing it. I hope it brings you the same enjoyment it’s brought me.
Keep an ear out for the next two drops later this week! Thanks for all the love and support this year ❤️
