Ah yes this is a wonderful mix.. all about our youth days x

This mix is part of a collection to celebtrate my thirty years of DJ'ing  which started officially in 1991 but in honour of my raving days I have started the collection with "My Raving Years"

It's 5PM Friday 30th Of October 1988  I was 18 years old and  would rush home from my local office junior job in suburbia to get ready for one of the best nights in Essex England on a Friday for Acid House /New Beat Music. The tunes were so diverse, anything from Pop to Rock, strangest thing ever when a tune gets thrown in randomly after jumping about to a Hip Hop tune or possibly a 70's Synth Pop tune :) The crowd was absolutely amazing and so friendly with the majority of people on exctasy although I wasn't at the time I truly felt the vibe and wanted to be part of the movement.

Keep an eye out for my 1989 part 1 and 2 vinyl sets coming soon,

Disclaimer: This music era is not tightly made unlike new computersed music so expect the odd bit of face screwing up :> NO SYNC HERE

SKIE- Berwick Manor Memories 1988-“My Raving Years” :)

Interview conducted in December 2013, Edited down from nearly 2 hours and broadcast on The Roots Of Rave Show on www.KoolLondon.com Wednesday 26th March 2014. 
The Blapps posse were a massive influence on me and many others and i constantly play their music on my weekly shows and out at parties and raves.. Not everyone is aware of their outstanding contribution to the scene, beginning in 1988 and still current now.. I speak to Aston 'Hastey' Harvey and 'Jazzy' Jason Carter who were both core members and also have shit loads of wicked music under other names... Epitome Of Hype, Dynamic Guvnors, The Freestylers, London Funk Allstars, Mad Doctor X, DJ Rap & Aston, Outrage and more..
- Please share around, enjoy and exclaim  "oh.. That was by them too!!! I never realised"  :)

This appears to be a tape from the Sterns sound desk rather than a official Interdance (Dancefloor Studios) tape.

Sound quality isnt amazing but acceptable. Please be aware at 15 seconds on Side A there is a loud beep. The MC asks Mensa for a new mixer so it appears they were having equipment difficultly.

DIY Jack Live @ Westpoint Obsession (12.30.92)

Le Ski Club is a Geneva-based label and DJ/producer collective active since 2018 and now considered a key reference in the Swiss Romande electronic scene. What began as a trio has grown into a tight-knit group of five artists who have shaped a distinct and adventurous musical identity.

As DJs, the collective blends their diverse influences into energetic, groove-driven sets rooted in house and its subgenres: a signature sound that has proven itself on some of Switzerland’s most iconic dancefloors. As a label, Le Ski Club champions the richness of the local electronic scene, releasing four digital compilations featuring standout regional talent.

Their work has been supported by major Swiss media including RTS, Tribune de Genève and Le Temps, while individual members have released on respected international labels. On stage, the collective has left its mark at festivals and clubs such as Montreux Jazz Festival, Electron Festival and Antigel, and has carried Swiss electronic music abroad with performances in France, Belgium, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Canada and Japan.

"Fast Lane" pushes straight into peak-time territory: a dub-infused trance weapon driven by rolling basslines, razor-edged leads and a relentless forward motion. Fermecat & DJ Tendance deliver a club-ready burner built for fast mixes, high energy, and packed rooms.
