SOUTH AFRICA CA CA CA

My favourite place in the world and plans are afoot to return for Xmas 2026, had a few offers already just working through them. Looking like it could be Windhoek, Cape Town and Pretoria/Jo'Burg!!! Anyone interested, hit me up and I'll see if I can work you in - want to have some safari downtime as well so dates are at a premium.

HARD TIMES

This is the best mix I've ever done and it was done 6 years ago, my mind was finally free of all my problems and I was like now I'm ready then my wife went crazy for no reason at all and accused me of being manic. I wasn't manic I was ready AT LAST! It was 6 years ago and is full of emotion from dealing with what the fuck was going down with my wife. So, I was like fuck this - I'll house you! Ripped all the tunes of Spotify and went to Pirate DJ Studios in Manchester at 6am and did it one take - it was so much fun! Lost myself completely in the music...

LIVE AT KENNEL CLUB

Tried to do a new night in Manchester 4 years ago, it wasn't very busy but I still managed it. I've not done the 2nd one yet because I wasn't ready, now I AM..... Coming Soon!!!! All about the first record in this mix #itmakesadifference 

I AM SOLOMUN, NO I'M SOLOMUN

I mix I did to promote my I AM Solomun party, at the time he wasn't the world superstar he is now and was just an emerging underground talent so decided to do a mix to showcase his mixes and remix to help promote the party, bit weird looking back but it helped as the party sold out in about 3 hours. Thanks to Alexis for putting me on to him.

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB - K.O.D. ( THE ESSENTIAL MIX ) 

I did this mix at exactly 2 hours long in the hope that one day I get to do an Essential Mix and it's already done. You don't have to be invited to do it - just do one to showcase your talent doesn't have to be on the radio. Think FK did a mix CD called Essential Mix in the 90s/00s ( Need to listen to that again ) I also wanted the mix to come with a message as well. 

KOD means as J.Cole puts it ----

“Kill Our Demons,” represents breaking free of past trauma. “That’s the end goal, to face our sh*t, realize we have some sh*t going on inside—everybody,” he says. “I realized everybody family is f*cked up because nobody is f*cking perfect. Whether you want to or not, you’re going to f*ck up your kids in some type of way, because you got f*cked up in some type of way ..the plan is to f*ck your kids up the least amount possible.

“Kill Our Demons is like, finding that sh*t, whether it be from traumatic childhood experiences, whether it be from a lack of attention, confidence issues, insecurities—whatever it is, we gotta’ be honest with ourselves. Look in the mirror or look inside and ask ourselves questions, like ‘what’s causing me to run to this thing as an escape?’ And once I find the root of that, let me look it in its face an see what it really is.”

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB @ BEE IN LOVE, BERLIN

The set from my first gig in Berlin back in 2012. Was amazing to be able to DJ at the best city in the world for music...

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB & CRAIG SMITH @ SNAFU, ABERDEEN

Mix from another trip to Snafu, this time with Craig Smith ( 6th Borough Project ) in tow...

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB - IN SEASON - SUMMER

A 6 hour In Season special of 2012, the In Season compilation had 4 x 6 hour sessions, one for you each season. I'll release the other 3 as the year goes on.

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB - LEAVING PARADISE

Paradise was what I called Mallorca where I lived for 9 years between 2012 and 2019. This mix was for a new journey I was about to embark on. I sold all my possesions apart from crucial ones I needed, took the seats out the back my of Suzuki Jimny and laid down some floorboards for the dogs to be comfortable whilst travelling. I did the mix as a goodbye to the island that embraced me and looked after me, the friends and locals that helped me get over my grief with their amazing love and openness. 

PARTY CONDOR - ZERO

I wasn't always called Stretford Dogs Club, my first mix online was under the guise Party Condor which is an anagram of my name, Andy Proctor

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB - LOVE DOSE MIX 005

Mix I did for Love Dose in Manchester a few years back, over 20k listens amazingly, my most popular online mix

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB - LIVE AT SNAFU, ABERDEEN

Probably one of my favourite gigs I ever because it was the first proper one outside of Manchester, flying on a plane to go and DJ somewhere on a weekend was the stuff I've always dreamed of. The club was amazing as well, proper basement vibes and great up for it scottish crowd. Still friends with people I met that night, was back there a few months later as well.

STRETFORD DOGS CLUB - LOST & FOUND

When I was hospitalised in the UK in 2020, my friend Mike O'Mara brought me one of my old ipods to listen to. I decided what was going to be on the mix from that and then as soon as I come out of hospital I was straight down the DJ studio to make this, one of my personal favourite mixes, enjoy!

TAILS FROM PARADISE 001 - TOMSON & CHRIS FEINMANN

Pioneer DJ Radio show with myself and Development Residents Tom Lynch & Chris Feinmann

A TRIBUTE TO PONDEROSA 2024

Back in 2024 I had another setback with my BiPolar/ADHD diagnosis and ended up hospitalised for the whole summer. The recovery from that has been horrendous but I'm finally back in the room after 18 months of long, dark, deep depression.

Anyway, enough of that and back to the music. Have reactivated my Soundcloud and going to release all the mixes and guest mixes over the summer for you to listen to. First one, to my surprise is a mix I don't even remember doing as I did it from hospital in a sensory room on a laptop. It's completely unmixed as I think I just used Spotify to do it.

I was supposed to be playing my favourite venue in Mallorca Ponderosa, where I used to be resident when I lived there. I was due to go back in August of 2024 but due to being hospitalised I couldn't make it so decided to do a tribute mix of what I probably would've played. Enjoy!

Hasta Pronto Mis Amigos y Amigas, besitos - Andy x
