oldskool

DJ and producer, Terry Farley heads back to the 'second summer of love' and celebrates some of the biggest Acid House tracks, 25 years on.

Along with Andrew Weatherall, the duo started the now notorious Boy's Own fanzine in 1986, which commented on the slang, the parties, the tunes and the humour of the acid house days, and which also lead to the creation of the label Junior Boys Own. This imprint specialised in dance music and put out records by Orbital and Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers, which celebrates 15 years this year.

Terry began making productions with Andy Weatherall, Hugo Nicholson and Pete Heller under the name Bocca Juniors. He later teamed up with Pete Heller and has gone on to re-mix many of the world's leading artists and singers: everyone from U2 to New Order; to the Happy Mondays and Primal Scream at the height of Balearica. He has also produced Kylie Minogue, The Farm and M People.

this is the second mix in a series 'trust me i was there' - the music in this mix is what was getting played in the places with a more relaxed door policy (places that would let in 15-16 year olds) and on the london pirate dance radio stations in 1988.

one thing i find interesting about this year (as a producer) is the contrast between the really raw acid stuff and the super slick vocal tracks - one of which was exec produced by quincy jones no less!!

please share this mix with anyone you think might like it :D

if you’re a promoter and you’d like to book me to play one of these sets (or any other era) please contact
belinda or charlotte at echo - please don’t contact me via soundcloud because i don't check this inbox!

trust me - 1988 - chapter 2

If you enjoy this mix or download it, id really appreciate it if you click on 'repost' and / or 'share' it...

A selection of Acid and House tunes from 1988 to 1990 mixed by me. Back to when the raves began and the music started getting exciting. I did this mix and first uploaded it online in 2011, but as of from December 2013 iv re-mixed it and its now improved. Iv got this mix on a couple of sites and the original version i did of this has been quite popular on YouTube. Even tho the original version has been one of my most popular mixes, (apart from my breakdance mix) there was a couple of areas of sloppy mixing, but most significantly after listening to it on a particular occasion i realised just how bad the audio quality was and i wasnt totally happy with it so i thought id try and rectify that, so iv totally re-mixed it (almost identically with only a few minimal changes) and its also now extended with two extra tunes on the end.     This mix is now a better experience ! 

As i say the original copy was bad quality and even when i then put this re-mixed version on YouTube it still had a slight few distorted areas on a couple of tunes, but this is the nice clean copy of it with no issues.
(Altho in hindsight i have put to much sparkle on it in my music producing software, but iv learnt from that since to be abit more minimal with it)

Carl Cox - Old Skool Legends Vol 2

Breakin / Electro / Funk. A selection of predominantly Breakdance and Electro tunes from the early 80's mixed by me, and some of my fave tunes from the Breakdance Movies i used to watch as a kid. Iv got this mix elsewhere online and is quite popular on YouTube, but this is a longer version compared to the copy on YouTube, and with enhanced sound quality.

I put alot of time and effort into preparing and mixing this.You can certainly hear in these old tunes how they was a pre cursor for house music.Lots of the beats and samples then went on to be used in the 80's house and early 90's hardcore tunes that followed.

If you like the mix or download it, please share or repost it.

Im already on Soundcloud as 'Scott Lee Snell', but i made a second account just to be able to upload this Breakdance Mix. But iv reposted this mix so that it now also appears on my original account. So right now you're either playing this from my main original account or second account depending on which account you came across it. If you're listening from my second account then here is a link to my original account @scottleesnell

If you want to follow me please do it on my original account.

Old Skool Classic Acid / House 1988 to 1990 Mix Part 5 (This is just the first half of this mix)

1990 really was the year i started revising hard about House & Techno after deciding i would never make it as a hip hop Dj. Some of the 1st house i would encounter would be productions from the US. Detroit Techno at the time seemed quite abstract, Chicago house although home of acid was just too vocal for me, but the sound of new york grabbed me (maybe something to do with the sound emerging coming from the debris of hip hop, freestyle electro & breakbeat culture).
That 1st wave would hijack a lot of those existing references.
Frankie Bones, Tommy Musto & Lenny Dee would be my guide & the sounds they produced were like an amplified echo of those beats but with added energy. House music but written off the back of B Boy Law. Include a bunch of whacked out edits (again, reminiscent of New York Godfathers like The Latin Rascals, Chep Nunez & Omar Santana)so you had no clue what was what & for me this was my nirvana..........This mix is a homage to those 1st house records that had me obsessing & the original NY tape edit style .........If your expecting "Hardcore" you'll find none here......but this WAS "My First Hardcore"..... & those "Amen Breakbeat" samples in THESE tunes would be the gene that would influence UK Rave....and create UK Breakbeat Hardcore......then Jungle....then Drum & Bass.........EVERYTHING comes from somewhere...Enjoy :) xxx

DJ Mindflash - Live At Fluc Club Vienna (90ies Revival Rave 9.1.2015) Set 2 (Vinyl Only)

this is chapter 23 in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there'. its been a while since i last uploaded a mix - reminds me of when i got my first job (aged 14, in canning town) where i was nicknamed 'arthur' cos i only ever did 'alf a' job. 
its been a great year, i've been working on lots of new music and hanging out with my kids lots, which is pretty much perfect... but i'll try to be a bit more consistent with these mixes.

the music in this mix, and the previous ones are the tracks that were played in the clubs i was playing and raving at, and on the radio stations i was on. in '93 i think i was on format fm with my dj partner swift - with a load of other great characters.

if you think someone would enjoy this mix please share it with them - and any other music of mine you may have on your hard drive :D

if you are a promoter and would like me to come and play a 'trust me' set (or new music) give charlotte at echo a shout. 

just listening back to this mix - when i heard 'Johnny Jungle' it took me back to a specific moment... I used to go Boogie Times as often as i could, and sometimes you'd catch Hype behind the counter scratching, which was a big deal cos we all used to check him on pulse, but the day that i remember really clearly was when i was in the shop with a few other punters and Pascal walked in and went through to the Office. Must be the same time that Johnny Jungle was about, and the whole place went quiet, and we were all like 'wow, you know who that was who just walked through? it was PASCAL'. I doubt many people realise how influential he was, or that he helped G start headz, all the old face recs stuff. what a dappa.

zinc - trust me - chapter 23 - 93 pt2

This is a mix that Brent did live on his decks back in 1998 after we moved back to Bournemouth from London and all shared a house. The little film clips were added afterwards. One day I will get a tracklist sorted for it! its only been 13 years!

hope ya'll enjoy and makes you wanna throwdown on the lino
