Ativan would put up mp3's of his great mixes and I would log in every week to listen

A truly talented Dj who's mixes are on par with DJMC and Funkymix.

His mixes gave me the idea that perhaps I could do the same, so I started my remixing copying Ativan's style before i developed my own style.

The first of many crap website's I started to promote my own material, this might still be online on my old ISP servers.

The mixes coming from this website where Naughty By Nature – Jamboree, Five – If Your Getting Down and Christina – Genie in a Bottle, all released prior to URG.

In 1998 I was visiting a website run by a nice Chinese American DJ called 008 who would give away free downloads of house tracks and featured mixes by himself.

He then opened up his website for mix submissions from other DJ's to submit there mixes too, The best Dj's on this site were Raymix and also Ativan, Ativan was also guest reviewer and managed the quality control to what actually got onto the site.

Thankfully before the site's demise I had a few mixes featured on the site and made the websites best of 1999 Megamix.

Sadly I don't know what happened to the site or why the plug was pulled, neither do I know the whereabouts of DJ008. I read that it went underground but i didnt go underground with it!

The old site is actually here http://www.geocities.com/schlos1225/ , its a dead duck of a website that hasn't been updated in 8 years but this is DJ008 Dancecity's website I visite and you can browse it, my profile is also there http://www.geocities.com/schlos1225/dj-info/dj-g-sweet.html?200822 NICE PHOTO :-)

I lost touch with his work in 2005, I think he may have quit the scene but his site was one of the best. Doing a recent google search doesn't bring up much on his whereabouts.

The Dj's involved where Ativan, Myself, Spam, Vinny D and Dj Amanda. This seems such a long time ago now! We would do this for 2 years, I think we put out some pretty decent stuff in this time.

I came up with a UK Garage version of the mix with a thumping bassline, crowd noises and big breakdown's.

Barcode was lucky enough to actually get Tony Green on the track, for those who don't know, Tony Green was the voice of the Bullseye TV show in the UK.

The remix was actually performed in clubs by Tony Green as a PA, sadly the buzz on the track never picked up but I had lots of fun with making this and following its journey along with Barcode and the highlight was that it was played once on the radio by Chris Moyles, I think it was my remix that was played but I never ever heard a clip of this.

Krazy Kuts came onto URG asking for volunteers to remix tracks from the latest Kutmaster Spaz album Spin City

(http://www.djspaz.com who is a known DJ in Hawaii)

Sadly there was only one or two acapella's and remixers had to work from the whole track. I remixed Sex On The Beach in a garage style and also a track called Jibba Jabay which i beefed up, the album was compiled and co-produced by Krazy Kuts but the remix album was never released by the label.

The Krazy Ass Megamixes where a lot of fun, the first two mixes where completed by myself and Krazy Kuts. The theme was a freestyle mix that was open to mixing anything in the mix without limits, total freedom given to both Dj's to put whatever the hell they wanted in the mix without a theme. The name was given to the mix by Dj Spam, I believe that is right J the first mix in 2001 was only supposed to be a 10 minutes thing but after the first 10 minutes, we thought we were just warming up… so we decided to do two more sections to the mix, after 30 minutes… I said to Krazy, what the hell lets go 60…. Do we do, we just fell short of 60 minutes but I was dam proud of what we did.

Part 2 was completed the following year in 2002, this is the best mix out of the 4 mixes completed, just dam amazing what we did and I can listen to this without ever getting bored.

Sadly I did not keep the tracklistings for any of these mixes.

Part 3 in 2003 brought Ativan in the mix, Part 4 in 2004 brought in Shatterstar and Ativan due to myself and Krazy not having a lot of time to churn out an hour, all of these mixes where great.

Ativan handed the site to me in 2001 due to family/work commitments, I think I did a pretty decent job of updating the site, we brought aboard Krazy Kuts, Miguel, Stevie Cut It Up D, Naughty Boy, Raymix, K Bee, Barcode, 707 in different reincarnations of the URG team throughout this time running competitions for members to join the URG team or being selected through reputation.

This was a fun time and so much great output came with the members of URG.

So special mention to them both and thanks for making some of the greatest mix memories with me because Krazy Ass 2 and Drunken Master 1 are mixes I could listen too over and over, especially on long plane trips :-)

This was completed December 2002 in about 10 minutes, using an instrumental of a pretty unknown track that sampled upside down by Diana Ross.

I took the instrumental and whacked Christina's vocals on top, yes 10 minutes was all it took to create the most well known mix I've done.

This was picked up by Q Mix when the bootleg scene was HOT in 2003, along with about 20 other mixes doing the rounds on the scene at the time, all of these mixes where put to the music videos and show on Q-TV and KISS TV all of 2003.

Sadly this was pretty much it, the whole bootleg thing was a fad summer 2003… luckily a fad I was involved with!

I did two more versions of this mix, a 12" mix completed in 2004 just to give the mix a little more life, then in 2006 I did a dance version but that wasn't as sucessful.

As official members of the team started to give less and less input into URG, I opened up the site to the visitors and wannabe remixers to submit there work and remixes to me, I then went through the submissions then I would put up the best mixes onto the website for that week.

We had a lot of fun and the site was just open and buzzing with talent, updating every week, this was a really fun time in the site's history.

The movie album was based on the theme of sampling movie soundtracks and including samples from the films, the result was interesting but a little unfulfilling.

The best album had to be the Beastie Boys album, full of fun varied mixes.

The Drunken Master mixing technique can be best described as a plethora of worldwide music that mish mashes Urban flavas from US, Mexico, Malaysia, Korea, Japan, China and India and also the odd surprise of a country track or an old school classic. This is the mixology technique created by Shatterstar and G Sweet and is known as the Drunken Mix Style

What I did was made a remix sampling Ecstasy of Gold and putting Eminem vocals on top, I submitted it and the producer of the O&A show loved it and put it on air the next day.

Sadly the mix was bad and ugly… the response from the listener's was the same, they hated it, now i hate it BUT Still the mix was played once to over 1 million listeners on XM Satellite Radio channel 202 in 2007 which is something to brag about at least!

G Sweet Remixes Website - 2009

The End of a sucessful year, I'll admit my youtube account get's more hits then my website but thats all good, my youtube videos have been watched 84,861 times this year. This is due to the fact that I took my remixing into Korean music. It was a great year for Korean music, they really had a great year of good productions and lots of wonderful, colourful and brilliant pop music being made. I could not resist remixing the beautiful artists of Korea.

I will continue to do what I do in 2010, please visit the site as much as you can. I will always try to do something interesting with my remixing.

Thank you to ALL the sites that plugged my stuff in 2009, ALLKPOP and Alikstae, check out his stuff at
