When I heard this tune at about 6am one Sunday morning in Toronto I thought I had seen God and I’m not big on religion. With an introduction like that I am just gonna let the music do the talking.

Adrian and Mark Luvdup have been entertaining clubbers the world over at the highest level for over three decades. Voted in the top 25 DJs in the world in DJ Magazine’s top 100 DJ’s poll, their pedigree is unquestionable. An unbridled sense of humour, notorious clubbing antics and their consistently brilliant selections of energetic and uplifting dance music has made them still one of the most instantly recognisable names in worldwide clubbing and bona fide DJ legends.
Playing the crowd is the Luvdup way
Equally at home playing the latest upfront dance tracks, bringing the house down with an old school anthems set, or mixing it up seamlessly between new and old tracks in their own inimitable way, Luvdup are the DJs always guaranteed to rock the party.
They have worked on over 40 remixes for many well-known artists and their own tracks have received such critical accolades as Radio 1’s Essential New Tune and Mixmag’s Single of the Week. Their latest track, “Music for the People” is now out on Cleveland City Records.
Industry accolades and accomplishments
They have also mixed several best-selling dance compilations (receiving gold discs for Fantazia’s Club Classics series) and they have provided guest DJ mixes for numerous radio stations globally including both BBC Radio 1 and more recently Radio 6 Music in the UK.
Mixmag themselves perhaps summed it up best by saying:
“Without people like Luvdup, the great British club scene would be a much sadder place”

One of the most iconic tracks of all time somehow get’s taken to another level of soulfulness and beauty by the remix afforded it by the wonderful Nelle Cooper.
Can Unfinished Sympathy get any better?
Listen and enjoy the Massive Attack masterpiece gets taken to even greater heights by the subtle yet genius treatment it receives.
This mix is nothing short of heaven sent and shows how even a truly classic tune can be worked on and changed for the better.
Dale Charles the man with the fountain of youth first came to our attention in 1992 when we he heard his tape Oscillation (sadly lost somewhere along the line).
What kind of tunes were on his tape Oscillation?
Dale played an original mix of high class progressive house, mixed with the very best of percussive breakbeat and extraordinary bhangra house demonstrating what an amazing original sound he had developed and blowing our party up in London “One Love” which got busted but successfully moved to the on campus university bar at the WAVE nighclub on UWO campus where the club and staff had never seen such a friendly and well natured crowd.
In fact the campus police attended to check it out and said the following:
“We conducted regular checks on the party and found everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves” said University Police Sgt Bob Earle as you can read in the article above. Bob was spot-on… of course the first Better Days attendees were getting on down after the party got busted by the fire marshal and moved to the University campus and fair play to Bob for being so cool.
Dale Charles cemented his reputation as a Better Days DJ from then on
Dale proceeded to play at many, many of our events and here are two of his best recordings clearly demonstrating his class.
Construction – Dale Charles
A stunning mix of pumping progressive house and breakbeat with flawless mixing created by original Better Days guest DJ, Boston’s Dale Charles
Better Days – Dale Charles Live At Paradise
Better Days regular Dale Charles delivered another flawless live set of percussive and progressive breakbeat madness as he maintained the unbelievable standard of music at Paradise.

Feeling like you should stay in and be sensible?
Take inspiration from these nutters who have the classic traits of a bon vivre (translation: one fond of good living) – someone who enjoys #BetterDays
It’s never too young to appreciate dance music as this youngster shows at a festival.
She is literally conducting the assembled crowd.

You just gotta love animals and dogs in particular can never hide their sheer excitement.
The tune gives an indication as to what is going on but the dog on the left is fucking irresistible showing his infectious joie de vivre.
