I came home early from pilot to witness this, Simon stayed at mine for a week afterwards....

thanks for uploading this Andy I had no idea it was recorded xxx

Simon was at our party at piston in Salisbury 1991 it was closed down violently and he came and spoke out against the police violence  in court what a true legendary dj

DiY were playing in Newcastle, on the floating nightclub , Tuxedo Royale 🤣, Simon and his girlfriend , Pip and a couple of others came to our house for afters and much disc spinning.
DK and entourage were near York when they realized they’d forgot his girlfriend 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing night❤️

Last month on the 13th of October, we invited house music hero & all round good guy Derrick Carter to bring his 'Derrick Does Disco' party to the Sub Club helping to celebrate GLASGAY! 20th Anniversary.

The source of many a man-crush (particularly from our local DJ geeks and record freaks) our sexy affair with Derrick has spanned a good couple of decades. Perhaps it’s his desirable physique, that intense beaded brow around 2am or his disarmingly charming manliness from the moment we met him off the plane.

Either way we’re always hot for him and so was everyone in the crowd who joined us as we got down and dirty in a darkened room and showed each other some serious loving, with no strings attached till 3am.

With Derrick in control for the full four hours we had to get the roadblocks out. Here is an hour of this amazing set specially picked out by the one man block party himself.

NEXT STOP IS A LONDON REUNION WHERE HE JOINS HARRI & DOMENIC IN THE SUB CLUB POD FOR RED BULL'S REVOLUTIONS IN SOUND WHICH WILL BE BROADCAST LIVE ON CHANNEL 4OD. TURN ON, TUNE IN & DROP OUT X

 


'Derrick Does Disco' [Recorded LIVE at Sub Club 13/10/13]

Here's a recording of Simon DK, when he played at my PENG event in Exeter, 30th June 2007.
Simon was my fave ever deep house dj, and a super lovely guy! 
His dj sets influenced the sounds of The Rurals.
He'll be missed...but, his legacy will live on through the music!!

DiY X 1989 1999 - A Decade Of Doing It Yourself

559 - DiY X 1989 1999 - A Decade Of Doing It Yourself - Disc 2 - Mixed by SimonDK (1999)

Track List below.
Inspired by the 30th Anniversary of Nottingham's legendary DiY Collective, this mix features a collection of music created across that timespan by musicians and producers from within the DiY core,close associates & the wider house music family that drew inspiration from the trailblazing musical, hedonistic & cultural blitzkrieg that they spearheaded throughout the 1990s and beyond. Nottingham area producers such as Inland Knights / Andy Riley  , Neil Tolliday (aka Nail / Bent) - Charles Webster(aka Furry Phreaks)Rhythm Plate(also Yse Saint Laur'Ant), Ron Basejam, Schmoov- all included here -  emerged from this scene and era, many releasing their debut releases on DiY Discs. 
DiY's importance  within the house music world and the wider culture - mainly in UK but also internationally, while surely not yet fully recognised, should not be underestimated. As well as  being in the vanguard of promoting underground house music through their own early 90's club nights and parties in Nottingham , their mix tape releases and record label, DiY were one of the first to fuse house music , free festival ethos and Jamaican sound system culture, creating DiY Sound System.
Along with other like-minded maverick musical warriors they pioneered the outdoor /countryside/ under the stars/ summer free party. This irrevocably changed thousands of people's lives,  altered their way of looking at the world and suggested how we might live and socialise...
In pursuit of this utopian vision, property / drug and other laws were violated for the greater good and DiY put their personal safety/liberty on the line every weekend across those heady summers in the 90's,  to entertain and enlighten.
The well documented gathering at Castlemorton in May 1992, marked a  turning point. DiY  were one of the few systems flying the flag for underground "proper" house music....
Direct DiY action against the now infamous Criminal Justice Bill followed-  Other sound systems, notably Smokescreen, picked up the mantle in the 90s.
Of course, the utopian vision didn't materialise & as happens in such heady hedonistic worlds, there were deaths, prosecutions, jailings, social and  personal misdemeanours and casualties en route.......but hey, what a journey for those involved, and what a legacy. 
Many DiYers are still out there agitating, educating and organising to this day.
Their free party blueprint laid solid foundations, and in spite of restrictions that have curtailed the ability of anyone to recreate what DiY achieved in that decade, austerity driven Police cuts have seen a renaissance in recent years.
All of the tracks included here are made by people who have direct connection to DiY or who grew up in or adopted  Nottingham East Midlands region as their home. Includes as yet unreleased tracks from "newer" Nottingham producers such as Jamie Deep and Coxie.

"It's Black O'er Bill's Mothers" - A Celebration of DiY Collective & Nottingham House Music (Part 1)

This is the 2nd Mixtape that was made available in early '93 which was part of a set of tapes that were recorded live at the Deepeace/DiY NYE party at the end of '92. The party was in Marshfeild on the outskirts of Bath & If you were one of the thousands there I'm sure you will agree it was one of the most memorable NYE parties I've ever experienced!
This mix is me delving more into the progressive side of house that was about in the free party scene & the slightly harder edged U.S. house, although always coming back to that deeper jazz tinged groove that i loved. 
Re-mastered from original recordings with no gap for a full 90mins of unbroken music for your listening pleasure ...enjoy Mr M x

Deepeace/DiY NYE party 1992

Deeply prolific Bristol-based house connoisseur Andy Compton has released over 50 albums and over 200 EPs (either under his own name or as part of his legendary group The Rurals, COMPTON or L.A.M.P, Blue Dream) on his essential Peng label and imprints like Motown, Universal, EMI, Sony, Ralf GUM’s GOGO Music, Chicago’s LARGE Music, Seasons, Viva, Hed Kandi and many others.
South Africa has embraced Andy's deep house sounds, and because of his popularity over there, and albums released via EMI, SONY, WEA, and now Universal. He has done over 20 South African tours in the past 10 years.
Since discovering house music in the early ‘90s Compton has released a dazzling array of music and worked with an army of artists. He’s been featured on the cover of the seminal DJ Magazine and had his music used in TV show Six Feet Under, while tunes like “Sweeter Sounds” have become bona fide anthems at spots like NY’s Shelter. He has worked with top class vocalists Celestine, Marie Tweek, Diviniti, Kafele, Rowan, Ladybird, Sabrina Chyld and many others!
Compton's Dj skills have turned heads and twisted bodies worldwide, with his thumping brew of electronic beats swathed in coolly-crafted melodies, with Peng becoming one of the premiere labels on the planet, garnering support from house big-hitters like Louie Vega, Larry Heard, Mark Farina and Osunlade (to name a few).
All this has solidified Compton’s reputation as one of the most respected house music players on the planet.
