Data Transmission Podcast 968 – Cash Only Tracklist
# CASH ONLY steps up for the Data Transmission Podcast ahead of Love to be… Festival
CASH ONLY is heading to Harrogate this weekend, and before he lands at Love to be… Festival on Saturday 5th September, he takes control of the Data Transmission Podcast with a mix that moves freely through house, garage and everything sitting nicely between the two.
That freedom has always been a big part of his appeal. CASH ONLY came up through record shop culture in the late 90s, with jungle and UK garage pushing him towards his first set of decks. Since then, he has spent more than 25 years working across the industry as a DJ, promoter, producer, tour manager and label boss. His sets have developed the same breadth, mixing timeless records, unreleased weapons and his own edits without getting stuck in one lane.
This week’s podcast gets straight into it. Alaia & Gallo’s ‘Lipstick’ gets the Tony Romera treatment early doors before the mix runs through Solardo, Archie Hamilton, Route 94, Soulsearcher and Bushbaby & Danny P. There are plenty of exclusives in there too, including unreleased music from Jewel Kid & Wh0, Illyus Barrientos x Nesi and Capri x Denis Sulta.
CASH ONLY also brings a few of his own bits to the table. His G-Double-E edit of Fish Go Deep’s ‘The Cure and the Cause’ appears alongside a dubplate from Casnova and his forthcoming remix of Weiss’ ‘Feel My Needs’ with Ruejay.
That Weiss remix is a particularly big one for him. Arriving on Toolroom in September, it marks his first release for the label and sees him getting his hands on one of the catalogue’s best-known records. He also has a new release coming on Jewel Kid’s Alleanza, taking things into a bassier, garage-influenced house direction.
There is plenty happening away from the studio too. CASH ONLY’s recent run has taken in Glastonbury, Hï Ibiza, Studio 338, Ministry of Sound and Defected Festivals, and this weekend he joins the Love to be… Festival lineup at The Stray in Harrogate.
Love to be… returns with a 6,000-capacity crowd and three stages of house music, with Claptone, Paul Woolford, Sam Divine, David Penn, Mousse T, Todd Terry, Gok Wan and plenty more alongside CASH ONLY on the bill.
As CASH ONLY puts it, the mix is “a journey across the spectrum of House and Garage”, and that pretty much nails it. Big records, quick turns, garage pressure, house grooves and enough unreleased material to keep the Shazams busy.
Turn it up, get stuck into the full mix below, and if you’re heading to Harrogate on Saturday, make sure you catch CASH ONLY at Love to be… Festival.
