Next up in the series of old & new mixes via the Love Unlimited Sound System we have a tape from around 88/89 (ish) by DJ Harvey. This 60 minute mix from way back represents his US & UK House sound.
Originally a drummer, before progressing into the fields of DJi’ng, producing & re-editing. Releases have come from artists & labels as diverse as Ian Brown, the Avalanches, the Brand New Heavies & Jamiroquai to Junior Boys Own, Mo’ Wax, Moton Records, Ministry of Sound & Dorado Records. His relases on Black-Cock Records, with Gerry Rooney and as the Map Of Africa on Whatever We Want Records are in high-demand.
Some of the clubs he’s gained his reputation & status at include the Tonka Sound System, Solaris, his own night Moist bringing over a host of New York DJs including Larry Levan, Francois Kevorkian and Kenny Carpenter), Ministry of Sound, New Hard Left, Beautiful Bend & currently Sarcastic Disco.
As a DJ his sets are a mix of old & new classics and the obscure – with marathon sets covering disco, house, garage, dancefloor friendly rock records, re-edits and cosmic tracks.
Now residing in the US of A he is owner & musical director of the ThirtyNine Hotel – a multimedia space in Honolulu in Hawaii & holds quarterly Sarcastic Disco parties in LA. Visit both sites to find out more.
Enjoy the mix.

great mix from the daddy of groovy beats.
trying to find the after hours m/o/s mix tape.
(not late night sessions ) the box look kinda like after eight mints
any body?
Hi buzzardio – glad you liked the mix.
I dont think its m/o/s – pretty sure the compilation you are after is on the old Journeys By DJ’s label.
Happy Hunting.
Cheers

On my “Must Give a Listen” list. Thanks.
Its a beauty. There are more from the same time. There are Zap club recordings. I did them. I don’t have them any more. Anyone out there?
Love those Black Cock edits he did. BEWARE recently there have been a whole lot of (poor) bootlegs released, you can tell them by the label colour and type set.
I love it
Harvey is the mutts nuts, very underated dj, used to go a quite a few tonka do’s in the early 90′s @ the zap & major jump arches in brixton etc, also moist @ the gardening club, best partys ever, with a proper eclectic mix of ppl & music!! Harvey Choci & Rev i salute u!!
Thanks for this. I had it on tape at the time but lost it many years ago. He did a balearic style mixtape also. If anyone has one of those or even better a recording from the Zap. I have a tape of the August ’89 Zap but the quality is very poor.
Harvey is the don.
I went to pretty much every Tonka. Also to Moist, the Brixton sessions and Big Lucky. Great times!
Hello to Felix, Tonka Robert, Steve, Marky, Chocci and Rev.
