This week on ‘Beating The Crates’ we have something a little different for you. At the beginning of June a rare event took place, Morphosis, Fat Harry ‘and’ Spinforth all managed to be in the same place at the same time and play a 2hr set at the beautiful Great Estate Festival in sunny Cornwall… and whats more managed to hit the record button!

Without the past we wouldn’t have a future, plain and simple and without past genres of music we wouldn’t have the type of music we have today.
Enter the time machine we call Retrospect, where 90s rave and club music reigns supreme. Only the finest mixes are chosen for this series so you are assured an immersive time traveling experience with every mix archived.
This series came to Efocus during a very challenging time, recovering from a brain injury. He suffered unbearable pain, lost his taste, sense of smell, and lost 40% of his hearing,which as a DJ was terrifying. Efocus had a lot of issues with memory and always very confused. Typing and texting remained intact which made it easier to not worry a lot of people while he recovered. Music also remained intact, it is bizarre to say the least that he has difficulties with basic household activity like eating, bathing, etc. Yet Efocus can somehow type this description, create a mix series, and put a heartfelt mix together to kick it off 30 days after his injury, yes at the time of this writing he is still recovering, (8/12/2018) 10:37pm.
” While i was laid up all i did was listen to music, but the soulful music of the 90s was most pleasing to my hurting brain. I believe it healed me, it certainly cultivated a new perspective on life and in music. The First mix 001 was what carried me through the emotional pain one endures through a traumatic event…as a very open window to my heart and soul, it felt wrong not to share this with others that may heal, enjoy, or experience the music for their first time. “ – Efocus
