Hi, it’s me again… The good news is that “White Label” has been downloaded more than a thousand times in 3 days (thanx!). The bad news is that I got the latest “Deux” a few minutes after posting my mix and I heard it over the week end in a club: wicked track (and I’m a long time fan)! So I did what I do: I “christianized” it to make it punchier and easier to my ears and I came up with a new version of the mix appropriately called “White Label 2”. It still fits on a CD and I thought you’d like more upfront music for the same low price :) . Apologies to those of you who have to download it again but that track is worth it! (I’m leaving both versions for the time being, tell me what you think…). Same text follows…
“White Label” features quite a few hot promos and bootlegs: for instance the new Ultra Nate having an affair with Britney Spears’ “Break the Ice” (I love the sound of this mix!). Also, no less than 4 Wawa tracks (these guys rock), some tracks I’ve missed (the amazing remixes of Moby’s “Raining again” and Armand van Helden “I want your soul”), and the fun and punchy Lizzie Curious’ “2Kool 4Skool”… Listen to the mix till the end! As always, I’ve christianized many tracks to make them sexier :) and I’ve tried to stay away from anything dark or dull (not easy, considering the current music production).
My favourite mixes: 7-8, 10-11, 16-17 and the end…

Spread the word! Love, Christian xxx
PS: The name “White Label” has nothing to do with substance abuse (even with Britney in it, bless). I meant to release this mix for Xmas and I thought it was a festive name… Then I decided it needed some more polish :) (go listen to the music and write a nice comment instead of reading that rubbish!)

Podcast Summary
Extremely uplifting funky house music from London and from the rest of the World!
"House Planet" aims to bring you the very best in dance music, with mixes designed to make you get up in the morning or go out at night :)
I love house, from funky vocal stuff to more banging toonz. The common denominator in what I like is a melody, a strong bassline and (quite often), great vocals by desperate housedivas :)
I believe the music I play can be enjoyed everywhere on the planet and it's the rationale behind my podcast "House Planet".
And it's also a great excuse to go out and actually play that music around the world, so...
Thanks for giving my music a try ; if you like it, sign up as a fan to get the new episodes as they are released! And don't forget to tell all your friends :)
I fell into music a long time ago but only recently (2000) discovered house in London & never looked back. Since that, I've been collecting 24/7 the tracks that make me happy: melody, strong basslines, big voices, etc. I've been lucky enough to play at Heaven, Colosseum, The Cross, etc. I don't like deep, dark, dirty, progressive house which i find utterly boring: for me , a track must have the power to make people jump off their seats onto the dancefloor with a smile on their face and get together. But that's just me and everybody is free to feel otherwise :)
