Charles B. feat. Adonis - Lack Of Love (96k MP3)

808 State ‘Pacific State’ (greg wilson electric chair edit)

130 bpm

Never previously shared.

Madchester anthem from 1989, which, along with ‘WFL’ by the Happy Mondays, ‘Voodoo Ray’ by A Guy Called Gerald and ‘Fools Gold’ by the Stone Roses, encapsulates the time when the rainy city was at the epicentre of the dance universe.

Twenty years later I included it as the closing track on my Essential Mix (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/essential-mix-greg-wilson-mix-for-bbc-radio-1), and, as with the opening track, the Dimitri From Paris edit of ‘Down To Love Town’ by The Originals, it features Jesse Jackson’s invocation from the 1972 Wattstax festival (which had previously been used to such great effect by Andrew Weatherall in his remix of ‘Come Together’ by Primal Scream).

However, I originally put this together not for the Essential Mix, but to open my appearance at the Electric Chair Last Supper on December 29th 2007. A number of previous guests had been invited to play for half an hour each, as the decision had been made to close this Manchester institution whilst it was still at the height of its popularity. As things worked out, I was the final guest to deejay at this cherished club night - only the residents played after me. I wanted to pay my respects in a proper manner, evoking the spirit of Manchester past, back through the halcyon late 80’s days of The Haçienda to my own time there in ’83, and at Legend beforehand, via a handful of track selections that reflected the spirit of this great music city, for which the Electric Chair, soon to be no more, had written a further chapter. You can stream / download the mix here: http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/electric-chair-last-supper-29

The purpose of this edit was purely to extend the intro of the ‘Pacific 707’ version to suitably build into Jesse Jackson's poignant words before the beats kick in, whilst adding some subtle ambience to add to the overall atmospheric of this wonderful track, which always struck me as a ‘Stranger On The Shore’ for the Rave generation (the evocative 1961 single by clarinettist Acker Bilk, the first British recording to reach #1 in the USA).

808 State 'Pacific State' (greg wilson electric chair edit)

با من صنما، دل دل دل دل و دل دل
یک دل دل یک یک دله کن
با من صنما، دل دل دل دل و دل دل
یک دل دل یک یک دله کن
گَر سَر ننهم
گَر سَر ننهم
وآنگه گله کن
با من صنما، دل دل دل دل و دل دل
یک دل دل یک یک دله کن
ای مطرب دل، زان نغمه خوش
این مغز مرا، پُرمشغله کن
ای مطرب دل، زان نغمه خوش
این مغز مرا، پرمشغله کن
سی پاره به کف (سی پاره به کف)
در چله شدی (در چله شدی)
سی پاره به کف (سی پاره به کف)
در چله شدی (در چله شدی)
سی پاره منم، ترک چله کن
سی پاره منم، ترک چله کن
با من صنما، دل یک دله کن
گر سَر ننهم، وآنگه گله کن
با من صنما، دل یک دله کن
گر سَر ننهم، وآنگه گله کن
با من صنما، دل دل دل دل و دل دل
یک دل دل یک یک دله کن
گر سَر ننهم
گر سَر ننهم
وآنگه گله کن
با من صنما، دل دل دل دل و دل دل
یک دل دل یک یک دله کن

A Tribute to Swaida
A five-part audio journey blending electronic tones with the spirit of a people who stood tall through fire, betrayal, and courage.
Every loop carries a memory. Every drop echoes a heartbeat from the mountain.

through the dust of our mountains.
These tones carry their footsteps, their roars like lions, their speed like tigers.
The battle echoed across days and nights.
They stood like mountains, unshaken by fire or betrayal.
But war always leaves a scar — we lost many of our brave.
This mix is a tribute, a memory, and a promise that we do not forget —
We are the children of light.
We are People Of The Black Castle.
