Brendan Clay - Live at Fazz's Birthday at Stanley's (25th March, 2023)

The big dog, Andrew Fazzolari @andrewfazzolari, blew out an undisclosed number of candles in March and decided to celebrate the occasion with a good ol' fashioned Saturday shindig at Stanley's. The Fazz curated a hand-picked line-up of selectors for the special occasion and generously gifted me the first two hours of the balmy Autumn evening! I entered the venue at the tail-end of, shall we say, a "colourful" daytime takeover that was many hours—and countless beverages—deep, and was greeted by an intriguing soundtrack of popular radio-played bangers from the start of the century; 'Ms. Jackson' and 'Teenage Dirtbag', notably. At its conclusion, we were afforded a few sought-after moments of serenity while the Technics were rolled out and added to the booth. I was afforded the opportunity to allow the dust—and, indeed, serotonin!—to settle, and re-set things with some lower, slower groovers, just as intended. I prepared a bespoke "crate" of selections filled with some of the birthday boy's personal favourites and guilty pleasures, along with others I thought he might enjoy. I believe I hit the brief and was pretty pleased with the result. Most importantly, The Fazz seemed to enjoy himself right through 'till the call for last drinks. In any case, I hope you enjoy it, too. --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Dave Allison - 'The Way Is Heart' (Original Mix) [Kinjo Music] 02 : Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - 'Sweet Love' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 03 : Ben Sun - 'The Answer' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 04 : Late Nite Tuff Guy - 'My Sugar Is Gone' (LNTG Edit) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 05 : Coutel - 'This Is Love' (Original Mix) [Masterworks Music] 06 : Letherette - 'Fresh & Clean' (Original Mix) [Wulf] 07 : Tony T. - 'The Feeling' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 08 : Admin - 'Halo' (Original Mix) [CDR] 09 : Crazy P. - 'Last Knockers' (Original Mix) [Paper Recordings] 10 : Magic Source - 'Genius Of Love' (Original Mix) [Favorite Recordings] 11 : Clive From Accounts - 'It's Not That I Don't Care' (Origina
