Well I've been accused of using the NO Spotting thread too much in the past. So here's a fresh thread for this little thing.

Stephen Morris from New Order lays down a 30 minute ICONS mix

We did of course have a half hour mix from Stephen back in January 2023 as per this:



And this

Will it be the same sort of stuff again. or something completely different? He's not limited to the '80s for this one. Maybe we'll get some Can and some Bowie this time around?

Well that was certainly different from last year's 1980's synth/new wave mix. Lots of 21st century electronic/dance stuff, although clearly a couple of oldies too...
Vocals from both Stephen's wife and his daughter in this one.

Ha! I was thinking of this:

Some of the mixing is really nicely done - seamless. Some proper thought has been put into the sequencing and mixing of this. I wonder if Stephen got Gabe Gurnsey involved.


Slightly Off Topic:
Gabe has had an interesting time with NO and the Morrises.

First he and Factory Floor wrote to Steve asking him to musically collaborate with them. Which Stephen did.
Then Gabe became friends with Stephen and started messing around with those military vehicles.
Then he started dating Steve's daughter.

I only know this because it's in the public domain via interviews with Mssrs Gurnsey & Morris.
Is it my busness? No not really but I didn't go snooping!
Hope Gabe never falls out with any of the Morrrises. Could be awkward.

This sounds pretty similar to the OT2's DJ set at the recent Sea Fever gig in Macclesfield, defo played 8,10 & 11. Their daughters were dancing in the audience as well as Gillian's sister. It was a great set and night!
