old school stuff

DECADE the mini-mix series by Kimball Collins will be highlighting essential tracks from the quintessential era of EDM circa 1988-1998 with Volume 3 showcases some of the most influential early Vocal & Piano house AAHZ classics... 

KIMBALL COLLINS PRESENTS DECADE '88-'98 (V.3)

Aahz was a nightclub theme at the Beacham Theatre in Orlando, Florida from 1988–1992. The Aahz-themed events were part of the "Late Night" series at the Beacham. The final Aahz-themed events were held between September 1991 and July 1992.

The Edge was a nightclub in Orlando, Florida that opened in 1992. It was a popular venue for the Florida breaks, House, and early trance music scene, which emerged in the late 1980s at the Beacham Theatre. There were also Edge Clubs in Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale.  

The Masquerade Atlanta opened in 1989 at the historic DuPre Excelsior Mill converted into a concert/nightclub venue, hosting styles ranging from punk rock to electronic music. Its three stages, named after the afterlife destinations—Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell—forge distinct musical identities. The club still exists at a new location but it will never have the same vibe it once carried.

Andy Hughes - Twitch 6-4-2025 ECC Weds (Vinyl Breaks) (320)

Chris sets the stage with energy and focus in his Turquoise Mix.  The set explodes early and drives headlong to a global dance sound with no reservations.  Slick programming and polished sounds create a draft as the vibe flows.  Well-crafted breaks punch through at 40 mins; this journey is set and Chris's signature, uplifting vibe is everywhere.  The layers stay tight through a couple more styles and beautiful atmospheres, but the set never rests.

Andy Hughes - Brassy Reunion at Thee Grotto 12-28-2003 - CD2

Once upon a time...

There was sleepy town in the middle of Florida. When Mickey Mouse went to bed the local kids would head downtown to dance all night to a new sound.  This was the early 1990's and the rave scene had just started to explode.  One of the best local clubs was THE EDGE. It hosted many epic events where the biggest dance acts and the best young djs would grace their sound system. DJ Icey started there and was the head promoter for the club. Acts including Rhythm Section, Chemical Brothers, 2 Bad Mice and All Boxed In played here.   The local rave crowd from around the state would come out by the thousands.

This amazing 14 HOUR set was posted by one of the visual performers - Laser Matt.  Click the download link to get the full 14 hours.  It was recorded in the main room from the second the club opened to late in the next day when the last person left.  See clubs didn't really close back then. They usually waited for the last person to leave. There is a reason why downtown Orlando closes at 2am now. This is it. We are guilty. Sorry kids.

For those that weren't there this music may sound old and strange. For those that were, it will surely inspire nostalgic memories of a time that will never be repeated.

Energy Rave 1 - The Edge (Orlando, FL)- Sept 4th, 1994

Andy Hughes is a man on a mission, he quickly became known as a consistent DJ who would throw down a thumping and varied set, suited to the moment, and to the crowd’s every need. Andy’s signature sets of Progressive House filled with energetic and funky twists have garnered devotees across America and beyond. From both US coasts to the UK and Ibiza, where he has received accolades from the press, promoters and punters alike. Andy’s launching pad was treating the neighborhood kids to the latest in pop music both at home and at school before he was 10 years old; he bought his first record when he was 4 years old! A musical background coupled with his eagerness to spread the musical word and Andy was DJing at age thirteen. 

As a member of the prestigious Balance Record Pool, Andy has managed to draw devoted followers from day one. Andy has been a resident DJ at some of Florida’s premier (and infamous) night clubs. Playing to packed houses all over the state at The Club At Firestone, Marz, The Edge, Simon’s in Gainesville just to name a few. At the same time he started conquering the US, becoming a regular in cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Charlotte, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, Ottawa, Toronto, New York, Indianapolis and more.

The ascension to making his own music was made and in ‘95 Andy wrote and produced his first track "Yummy" alongside friends Chris Marchese and Chris Hand. In Jan ‘96 the track was picked up by Knight Life Records and then licensed on to Big Time International (Belgium) and re-released with new mixes on Skyway UK where it topped the UK charts. Then a producers dream came true for Andy - it was bootlegged. Yeah! Since then, Andy has moved on to own his own recording studio and record label, taken the old adage "if you want it done right, do it yourself" to heart by starting up his own label, MAFDDAP (Mothers Against Fat Drunk DJs and Producers). Shooting for the stars since it’s inception in 1997, MAFDDAP has received compliment after compliment from record buyers, other DJs and press. In these few years, Andy has managed to pump out over 20 tracks, most all have been licensed to other labels and artists for remixes and mix compilations.

Andy signed mix CD deals with Neurodisc Records out of Fort Lauderdale. Andy’s first CD with Neurodisc “Andy Hughes – Progressive Elements Vol. 1” is the first Neurodisc CD to be distributed through the Capitol Records distribution network throughout the US. Also, Andy’s 2003 track “Gotham City” was featured on MTV’s Real World (Chicago series, episode XI). MTV has since then picked up 13 more of his tracks for the show. More recently, Andy has teamed up with adult film star Victoria Andrews to produce music for her website as well her single “I Want You” which she independently released. Other ventures Andy has finished recently are the release of his latest original track “Thirty Thirty” with remixes. Additionally, Andy Hughes has been Collaborating with Los Angeles DJ Thee-O, as well as Orlando DJ Martin Boss. In 2008, Jeff Belfi “Digital Damage (Andy Hughes and Jaren Skinner rework) was released and distributed through Beatport. In late 2009 Andy remixed the Rokysopp "Trick Trick" remix with co-producer Billy Z. In the future, look forward to more tracks from Andy and some with long time studio partner John Sexton!! Looking at Andy Hughes’s past one can only see the reflection of what is to come.
