This special one-hour show is dedicated to the life and legacy of the late Eamon Downes - the visionary behind Liquid.

Co-founded by Eamon Downes and Shane Heneghan, Liquid burst onto the scene in 1991 with the iconic ‘Sweet Harmony’ - a timeless rave anthem built on CeCe Rogers’ ‘Someday’, layered over rolling breakbeats. Originally pressed on just 500 white labels, the track exploded, leading to a full release on XL Recordings and securing its place in UK club history. After Shane’s departure, Eamon continued Liquid as a solo project, pushing the sound further with standout tracks like ‘Time to Get Up’ and ‘One Love Family’ (both named Mixmag Singles of the Week), and later collaborating with Mark Coupe (aka Sanxion) to release deeply crafted, powerful records.

As a personal tribute to an artist I had the honour of interviewing, hosting, this set weaves together classics and recent works for a sound rooted in unity, emotion, and truth.

Eamon was more than a producer. He was a trailblazer, a kind soul, and someone who touched countless lives - not just through his music, but through his humour, spirit, and generosity.

This showcase is for him. For the scene. For all of us.
Rest in Harmony, Eamon.

Welcome to my SoundCloud world! I'm deeply devoted to Electronic music specified in Oldskool and Nuskool Hardcore, Breaks, and Jungle, guided by the 'PLUR' ethos and the early 90s rave spirit. Influenced by Eurodance, Breakbeat, Hip Hop, and Hard Trance, with a heartfelt admiration for The Prodigy, my aim is to inspire and invigorate the rave generation.

In my 90s era, a Walkman opened doors to diverse sounds, later fueling my passion for radio production with the birth of Generation X [RadioShow]. Proudly nominated for 'Best Radio Show' at the International Breakspoll Awards 2014 as one of five nominees, I've hosted through the show luminaries like Leeroy Thornhill, Mark Archer, Black Box, Dream Frequency, Liquid, Marusha, Coco Bryce and more.

You are invited to join the ride then for some glowing electrifying music including special interviews, guest mixes, and musical tributes.

Beyond the airwaves, I drive the Strictly Nuskool Blog and contribute to publications like: Iconic Underground Magazine, The Wub Mag, and The Prodigy Fanboy (known for the Prodigy Fanboy Podcasts).

Let's connect through the beats that define our culture and speak to our inner space.
