I miss ABGT250 Seven Lions & Jason Ross
It was beyond amazing. Everyone there was a fan of anjuna everything. The movie night, the main night, the deep set. Camping.. Having people walk by and say hi. The loving vibes.
@sofaboy73 - That Sasha tape is such an all time classic.
I remember queuing at Lakota once to see him but never got in.
Did get to seen him at universe though.
Still some of my favourite sounds were from DiY, Circus Warp and Spiral Tribe because they all put on absolutely mental free parties.
Saturday nights were always calling the spiral tribe number from a phone box or meeting in a service station waiting for some info and then heading off to a party.
Bank holidays were the best because the news always told you where the 'new age travellers' had pitched up for an all weekend rave!
Some of the DiY and Spiral mixes from Castle moreton are my favourites because it was such a momentous turning point in popular culture and me and mates were there for 4 heavy days.
We never realised at the time that we were in a real moment in history.
The following week we met in Stroud to protest against the arrests and then onto a party on cleeve hill (if memory serves me).
Amazing times and probably never to be repeated. The tracking technology wasn't a thing back then so it was a real game of cat and mouse and more often than not the mouse won.
Something for the weekend.
Just came across this released last year... fits other than release date
Narrow Minds eh....
Been enjoying working my way through this thread, the tunes have brought back lots of happy memories which is surprising considering the altered states I used to get into, cheers all.
Heres something from Joris Voorn, A live session from his studio with Roland TB-303, TR-909, MC-202, JD-990 + FX, way too short at 10mins but well worth watching/listening to
I would love a 303
One of the best sets I ever saw at a rave at the Rezerection probably in 91 , then just discovered she is on youtube and still utterly gorgeous.
Also listened to great Nightmares on wax and Peggy Gou boiler rooms. Have spent hours on my sons Numarks this lockdown and really enjoyed it , mixing is a bit train wreck at times and get worse the more I drink but hey ho.
A bit of flange and a spelling error
Call to prayer
Hey Chester great thread, something more mellow for a monday comedown
Marshmallowed
Just bounced my way through this thread, AirPlaying the tunes to the hi-fi, much to my wife’s bemusement.
Didn’t know her when I was raving and this isn’t her cup of tea at all.
Takes me right back though and a lot of this thread is amazing.
And all of this album is great

Inspired by the DJ Sammon above.
I'd go for the instrumental of that Congress track, that vocal has been shoehorned in!
Or the Janis Joplin Tribute JJ Tribute.
Think the Congress riff was from this

I’d go for the instrumental of that Congress track, that vocal has been shoehorned in!
I've always liked the vocal, it adds something imho. But I do remember it getting a very Marmite response. Instrumental is still ace too.
But if you want some proper nasty vocals, I believe there was a vocals added version of Orbital's Belfast...
It did.
The vocals could be pretty iffy back then (limited sampler memory and lack of pitch independent time stretching) and were often added in later releases for radio play. Some were such an afterthought/resented by the artist they were even out of key!
If anyones into their cheesy piano house, this is an absolute belter of a mix of some classics from the bonkers nights in 90-92 at Wigan Pier. Loving the samples of the news footage from the day mixed in over the Hardcore Uproar intro.

can't get this to embed:
no idea why... need your lovin, but not that crappy chart single baby d version
I've not posted any mixes because that was how most people first heard these tracks, that or via compilations. Most were vinyl EPs (the first releases/promos's/white labels) owned by DJ's, wannabe DJ's and "enthusiasts". Hence a lot of people didn't know the names of the tracks, as they were mixed, cut/mashed up, pitched up and well you know!
Vaughn Bode that is.....
What was that mantra again....
Only one Prodigy tune so far (minus points for that) and we haven't exhausted the playlist by a long stretch. Not touched many of the cheesier/big hitters yet!
This went a bit mainstream ... but definitely earwormy.
@reeksy - really like the Ragga Twins, I saw them in the moon club (before it became Lakota) in Bristol when they were just starting out.
They are still going today and pop up all over the place.
@mrmonkfinger There you go embedded now. Yeah that link won't have it for some reason.
I’ll stick up one of my own mixes. 75 minutes of electro silliness 🙂
Listen to the bassline talk.
It's about time we quit playing games.
Merry Christmas bellends
damm... that's some good music up there guys... I rolled myself a few cbg buds from a local weed shot and off I go...
Get some darkness down ya
I could watch DJ Rap all night, oh my lord.
This mix has basically all my favourite early nineties tunes, with no ‘playing with knives’ thank god, the only oddity being fire starter.
Bugger just realised this was done a couple of pages back. Oh well, I’ll leave it in case anyone missed it.
Bit of Joey Beltram? Oh yes
Got beef
Diddily bow bow
Have you lot heard the latest Freestylers stuff? Its got a lovely early 90's house vibe to it, and a great use/rework of an 80's goth sample
you did say mitigating circumstances
i know this is more house, but with the many references to that sasha tape
Mash the angel
And back on track
I was given this lot tonight, I will slowly convert to mp3 and upload to mixcloud ( https://www.mixcloud.com/es_kay/)
What's the tape with the green space craft on the cover? I can see it is Easy Groove, but is there more info on it?
@sirromj - I converted and uploaded that one last night by complete coincidence! Check the mixcloud link.
I recognized the flyer, but couldn't remember what it was for. Thought it might have been for the one small local legal rave I used to go to, but it wasn't! Definitely will give your mixcloud a listen.
Make Kevin's great again
Think a fitting ending for this thread will be 4 Horsemen and something from Face Records but we are not there yet!
Moar
loving that easygroove obsession mix with saucer crew and three way split
dennis was a great live dj, back in the day.
lost his way a bit, latterly.
Stumbled across this earlier, a tribute to the classic Sasha at Universe set. Thank God MC pure love doesn't make an appearance though! Joe Peng with a nod to the culture.

Sasha eh. Early 2000's feel, a bit Bicep.
Edgelord. Not enough kids named Gordon.
Let me be your fantasy!
I arrived 6.45am to a real non-virtual rave in Epping Forest this morning with me bike.
Wound down by 9am - lightweights.
For years I have wanted to have a version of DiY Jack at Alpha Plymouth in Feb 1992 without the MC (who in my opinion ruined a perfect set).
I have finally got around to uploading a tribute to that great mix.
https://www.mixcloud.com/es_kay/diy-jack-alpha-14_02_1992-tribute-es_kay-no-mc/
This is as good attempt as I could make of recreating the mix. I could not identify the exact mixes of a couple of tunes, so I had to lift them from other mixes that didn't have an MC.
Less of a rave, more some lovely, chilled vocal house. This fella does a mix every Friday and they're really good, just uplifting tunes

@voodoo-rich - I have a cassette player with a USB output on it and then capture straight into Audacity. You can then delete the spaces at the end, add a bit of hiss reduction and normalise the tracks before saving as MP3
This just popped up on a mix, what a tune.
Is gated dated?
