This is a back to back mix with Dj Taz Stevens.........we did it off the cuff and loved the outcome!. I had given him a load of tracks i thought would help bring him from banging hardhouse/hardstyle to house music...............and out of it blossomed this between us, He is and will always be known as hard style......but this was a cross over....see what you think. I was so honoured to have him join in with me........M.Sugz xxx

Always manage to hit just the right spot with something from them.
Riva Starr, Guido Scneider, Andre Galluzz, Sergio Fernandez, Deadmau5, Chris Lake are but just a few names behind some of the music here.

Well what can i say?......i've been pondering and deciding upon how the second part of my trilogy 'THE REASON' should play out.There has been so much music which has inspired me, and this the motivation for the The Reason in the first aspect, i wanted to make sure, that what i included was just right, without going down the very obvious oldschool root!.
I think somehow i've managed to capture what i feel here in the trance realm of music, that which blatantly engineered my direction toward electronic music. Once again some old some new, some old reworks/represses.remixes.
I was unable however to keep it simple or even compact because of all that i love, so PT 2 is indeed in 2 parts hold tight!
I hope you enjoy all my love Madam Sugar xxx

I finally sorted out my equipment at home for live feed internet radio shows. I feel like i've been set free. My weekly show 'Thigh Length Beats' on passionradiobristol.com (thursdays 7pm-9pm GMT) is also live but i broadcast from the Passion studio, since it's not far from my house it works well.
I've been asked a number of times to do live internet shows and each time i've had to pre-record, as i get a very nasty ground loop from the power lead of my laptop and the battery only lasts 45 mins!
It's been very frustrating trying to locate and eliminate the problems and especially being unable to participate live in exciting radio events.
I got there in the end and was asked by Chicago's ODU.fm (Over Drive Underground, carefully mastered and managed by the incredibly multi talented Dj Shadowfall.) to do a live set as part of the station's fourth year anniversary celebrations. So my maiden voyage into the live feed internet radio experience, was with Over Drive Underground, sort of back to back with Dj Shadowfall, without being in the same country!
I took the first hour and after some initial nerves, had a blast!
I've accepted a weekly slot also with them and shall find out shortly times and days.
I plan to upload the weekly recording of my new show here on podomatic. I'm sure people will find out a huge chunk more about me, simply by the way i run my shows.
Excitement about the tunes, viberance, energy and plenty of playful interaction with my listeners all go without saying, EVERYTIME!!!
This show i will say is deep, bumpin, chunky, stompy, uplifting with the ever present rolling drums.

ODU.fm Guest Show tracklist:

1. My Friend Is A Seahorse (Mock & Toof Remix) - Kissogram
2. This Aint Hollywood (Radio Slave Remix) - Armand Van Helden
3. Sunday Morning - Stimming
4. A Lovely Day (Jewel Kid Remix ) - The House Moguls

I do love soulful house and the only reason i've not put together a soulful mix already is that all my soulful tracks are on vinyl....and i don't have enough space for all my gear to be set up plus the technics. Blasphemous i know!
Here's a little Sugar Fix soulful style for you!
M.Sugz xxxxxx Enjoy.

One large dose of Chunky, Funky, Sexy Tribal Tech!
Swallow whole with a spoonful of Sugar provided.
Use the full 1 hour application of free, prescription
percussion available. Immersing entire body garuntees
best results. Finish whole mix to complete treatment.
Vigorous physical exercise during is strongly
recommend by leading musician physicians.
With full emphasis on facial muscles & lower body,
fully work hips, butts, thighs feet arms & necks
simultaneously. You can expect rhythm as the medicine
takes effect....then you'll find you're 'Totally Rockin To
The Beat' ....SWEEEEET! x

TRACKLIST:

1. Closer - Neyo - Dj Nano & T.Tommy

10. Yeah Ha - Saeed Younan
11.Only you - Chocolate Puma - GM remix
12.Deep Freak - Saeed Younan - Afroboogie remix
13. Tom's Diner - Bingo Players - Bootleg

I decided to whip this medicinal medley mayhem, of bouncing uplifting beats together for this week's radio show, and am dedicating it to my good friend Jaxz, who is very poorly in hospital.
Always a safe bet that Dario Nunez, Saeed Younan & the boys will keep us coming a nice steady stream of fantastic remixed tracks, songs you always liked from rock to pop through to rnb. They never fail to choose just the right tunes and put their undeniable stamps on....without ever becoming boring or predictable! Genius huh?. Plus managing a constant supply of top shelp works of their own.
Deep Chunky, Funky stomping and uplifting, that's the order of the day. I really can't think of better medicine to lift any dismal spirits out there. Especially for Jaxz to cheer her up and let her know i'm always praying for her speedy recovery. Love you Jaxz, this mixture's all yours.
Peace and Love & Light to all from me Madam Sugar xxx Enjoy!

This mix is a bit longer than i would usually post as a podcast but it just had to be done.
All of the tracks had to be in there. It is the first in a trilogy highlighting the reasons i came to mix music.
A chance for me to go back and remember all that inspired me. Bringing together the old with the new.
From the first house music i ever heard, the hard trance, underground & industrial techno i stomped to for many years, sometimes at what sounds like break neck speed to me now!
The classics and the all time favourites, through to the first tracks i bought on vinyl for mixing much later on.
From whence my passion came to where it leads me today and in the future.
This first mix, though also a mixture of old & new, encompasses perfectly and entirely the true sound of Madam Sugar today!
The song of my heart, the food for my soul and the glue to fix any broken bits.
This is what makes me tick!
Some tracks must never be forgotten so long as they still evoke feeling and response, these must be played again and again for all time and generations to come.
I tried to choose for this mix, tunes for eternity, sounds that grab something inside you and make you need to move.
I love the way these vibes descend over crowds of people uniting them as one solid mass of smiling souls, communicating without words, just with eyes, bodies, and energy.
The air literally licks and tickles, you can feel it bristle against you. It becomes packed with energy from 1000s of goose bumps, sporadically prickling and rushing across everyone's skin.
The rolling drums, and deep bouncing basslines give me the most incredible sensations, they make me want to dance bare foot in the sand and swim naked in the ocean.
I smile so hard my face hurts.
To share such sensations, and to see how they allow people be with eachother, with ease that only comes from rhythm & joy. Well.......that's my reason for the ongoing lesson in mixing music.
For me it is 'The Reason'
I hope you enjoy listening and will pass on to your friends. Please feel free to leave your personal feedback as a comment....my ears & heart are always open........peace and light......M.SUGZ xxxxx

For my radio show 'Thigh Length Beats' this week, which airs on passionradiobristol.com every Thursday 7-9pm GMT, i decided to invite Dj Shadowfall to do a guest mix, although he's based in Chicago, i actually met him here on Podomatic!
I'm a House music junkie and he usually has both feet firmly in Trance! However we've become each others latest source of inspiration of new musical styles. After listening to many of the other's radio shows, and with a fair idea in mind of each others frequent musical styles, it seems that encouraging one another to step away from our typical sounds called for a challenge to create something new. Soon it became an hour's mix using a simple specification and guide. It would run on 'Thigh Length Beats', which has become popular for the range of house music genres I play on there.
You can expect anything from soulful, funky, deep or tech & minimal house on through to electro, tribal progressive and more. Sometimes many mixed together in the same show! Lol. I'm constantly seeking out new sounds to play as they materialize and appeal to me.
With so much freedom, we were to choose tracks we found that we personally liked, with one main focus in mind....the set had to reflect the sounds we had heard each other play so far in the 3 months roughly that we'd first met, making it the very basis for choosing only tunes we felt sure would contain an appeal factor for the other!!
Shadowfall took up the challenge with plenty of gusto and seemed pretty darned sure of himself, if also quite excited to stretch his genre wings.
I on the other hand (with my unmasked aversion to most trance music these days) wasn't sure i could easily find and create a set that I really liked, which could truly reflect Shadowfall, the way i usually hear him. Seamless in the mix, but so definitive of that Trance sound, to say the least!
Though luckily, had also heard a few examples of how musically faceted he really is.
I enjoyed the challenge immensely and found it so fascinating and rewarding....as did Shadowfall.
He really pulled one out the bag! and subsequently became immediately for me, the best & my fav set from him to date!....so he totally nailed the challenge, and hit a good Madam Sugar musical spot!....
I'm pleased to say he was equally as pleased with my take on things and genuinely enjoyed combining the 2 together for us to share as an entire set.
So..... a great many thanks to Shadowfall's willing participation, we both gained a lot from the experience...... enlightenment might be an operative word!
So whilst plans for future collaborations/challenges are forthcoming....i am happy and honoured to offer you a listen to our very first. it's the way i say things

You might wonder what we came up with? OR even be tempted to take a little listen. Do feel free to give us your honest feedback, or response....we are ready for anything and definitely eager to find out if you will enjoy the set, as much as we enjoyed making it for you!
Hugs n kisses Sugz n Shadow xxx til next time xxx.

This week i'm very excited to share with you the recording of a set i did, for a jam packed show called Turntable Reloaded, running on cityREdio. This show broadcasts for 8 hours every week, with regular guests, residents and worldwide djs on rotation. The sounds cover a spectrum of the very best in electronic music, genre to genre.
The whole show is coordinated and masterminded by the truely marvellous Bjorn Blain, host also of his own weekly show which is part of the regular schedule of Turntable Reloaded. Being recommended to Bjorn by my good and fairly new friend Dj Shadowfall (check also his page here on podomatic) was a total surprise and a good one...thanks Shadow, love always x.
I was absolutely thrilled to be an invited guest....but immediately began to quandry as to which of the many facets of Madam Sugar's house music, would best fit in welcoming her to a party she has longed to go to (that would be the one out there, happening in the big wide world!)
It was to be my first opportunity to mix a set on a platform with an audience outside of the U.K...and first stop GERMANY no less!
I was eager to try something new and unfamiliar to me already and at the same time i wanted the show to scream Madam Sugar. So i decided it was high time i delved into some of the deeper electronic sounds out there right now.You can just imagine my sheer excitement coupled with the fact that i was a bag of nerves.
I had never knowingly listened to Minimal Techno, before last week.....but i most certainly have now.
So here's what happened next...hope you enjoy the show, all feed back is much welcomed by me, positive or negative. So please don't be shy and let me know your thoughts. Peace Sugz xxx

A Deep House Mix.

A mix with rolling drum beats, poignant lyrics and some seriously soothing sounds, firmly entwined by the neat percussion!
(She Chuckles)...when i listen to this mix, i can't help smiling at myself from about track 10 onwards.
I blatantly start veering off the intended deep house vibe and literally hopped skipped and jumped down a far more techy / tribal route!
It was only the 2nd time i'd ever recorded a mix, so still being very much a learner i was unable to resist the lure of those fabulous drums lol....love it x x
If you happen to download the mix, i'd say play it a bit faster, 128-130bpm, also crank up your bass a bit. I've left it the way it was recorded (complete with a slight scratch on vinyl track 12, awesome track***) i wanted to keep it raw and remind myself how much i've learned since then.
Thanks for checkin my podcast out i hope you really enjoy listening. Love & Peace Madam Sugz x

This mix is the first of 2 back to back sessions with my favourite man on earth Dj Screwpulous! He's also a fantastic dj, mixing house music only from around the same time as me.
We often dj back to back and with different favourite sounds we bounce off eachother encouraging one another to play tracks we might not have otherwise chosen. Screwps loves his electro vibes while i'm all about the drums.
We constantly talk about music and are well known for it!!!
One of our top djs at the moment is David Jimenez, and we can often be found in Orange @ Fire, London, specifically for David Jimenez's minimal set for Raw, which kicks off in the back room around 7pm. Awesome!
Besides dancing endlessly we are always trying to identify tracks and excitedly discussing Davids mixing techniques. Loving and learning.
This mix we recorded as a direct response to our night at Raws 2nd birthday, as soon as we got back to Screwpulous's pad. Some of the tracks we'd heard at the party and were an absolute must for the mix, namely Manos Libres, It is because i'm Horatio, not forgetting one of our current favs and a Jimenez signiture track Trompeta!
We hope you enjoy Raw Response and urge you to become a fan if you like what you hear.
