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” :)

August 1989, the long awaited rave had come, The big Sunrise & Back To The Future Festival. Our ticket sales had gone through the roof for this one as Sunrise had proved to be one the best large scale raves in 1989; we literally had people queing out of the front door with ravers from all over Essex wanting tickets.

I chilled in the afternoon with my chicken & Mushroom pot noodle’s ( my staple diet in 1989) and had my hair highlighted ready for the event...only trouble was my hair started smoking because we put tin foil on it and I decided to sit in the garden with the sun blazing down on it; consequently after it was rinsed off, my hair went yellow :/

I had bought a lovely lilac paisley baggy top which matched my purple and green converse Chuck Taylor’s and I was ready for the night ahead!

We all 'piled' in to my brother Joe's hire car straight on to the M25 Thurrock and headed towards the M40 with a mixtape blasting out of the little white F reg Fiesta( which was brand new at the time)

When we reached the junction around midnight and turned off we were waved in by a pilot ( that was what they called the guides) My sister in law and I started to get excited as we could hear the thumping bass kick, we saw the lazers across the sky with a haze and at that moment we parked the car and ran towards the music through the parked cars in the field,...

Down the hatch :)

As we entered we noticed the huge stage in preparation for the rave acts of the night. There was a huge bouncy castle with ravers all over it. There were literally thousands and thousands of like minded ravers in this huge farmers field, all attending this secret special movement, we thought we could change the world, lol....I guess we kind of did.

I remember seeing Doug Lazy PA on stage, it was mind blowing this Hip-House rapper all the way from USA coming to peform live to us English kids of all classes and creeds. I remember the sun was coming up and we were just jumping about to him <3 proper legend.

I remember seeing and sitting with a few famous people at the time including most of the cast of Grange Hill mid 80's and The Wee Papa Girl rappers. I bumped in to a girl I hadn't seen since secondary school in the early 80's from East London just randomly.  I have to say I was absolutely buzzing! Me and my mate Mark Shimmon decided to link arms and literally skip across the whole field with the sun coming up buzzing and if you haven't done that after a good E, you're missing out lol.

Midday came and it was time to leave, everyone was pretty wired by then- my brother asked if I could drive back to Grays as he was mashed ….Thanks Joe :>

So I spent 3 weeks preparing my authentic vinyl versions set for the Hacienda Residents Christmas Party on 27th December 2016. 
In the true spirit of capturing a moment in time, I limited myself to playing only the tunes that I actually played when I was resident over 1985 and 1986 - the original vinyl mixes and rare versions with a couple of digital wav files, with only one exception era-wise - see if you can spot it (trainspotter alert). 
All of them went on to become classics.
I sorted out so many tunes that I only managed to play probably 5% of the classic waxings that I had available!  
I will play some of them at my next Hacienda event.  I do hope you enjoy . xxx

Parks & Wilson Eclipse Coventry 1990/91

So my good friends who run the Hacienda Friends Facebook Group asked me to get involved in a live stream a little while ago while we were all in self isolation lockdown. 
I did my usual days and days of preparation, including contacting the other DJs playing before me to check what vibe they were planning on playing, in order to achieve a good flow for the day, and not repeat any tracks that other DJs had played (as many of them would be playing big Hacienda classics). 
I had selected a varied selection of tunes - Hacienda classics that I used to play at the club, some recent bombs that I have played out at some of my recent gigs, some exclusive mashups, and various other stuff. As per usual, I did not have a clue what I was going to play, preferring to select tunes ‘on the hoof’.
As it turned out on the day (as a result of the all-pervasive technical problems with streaming live) the DJ running order was changed around at the last minute…leaving me with no idea of what was going to be played before me.

So I decided to play a mix of old and new, just feeling a vibe…starting off quite spiritual with Massive Attack, moving through Acid House, Disco House, a bit of Italo and moving through some more intense vibes towards the end…a bit of a mish mash!

At the very beginning (and throughout) the set I had some strange media player problems, which meant I could not properly cue and drop tunes in, and do my usual bit of turntable trickery.
Luckily the problem did not disrupt my set too much, but there were some wierd glitches which I had no control over. Also I had a strange distorted mono feed to my speakers in the studio throughout which was a bit offputting.
So I was not going to upload this mix as it was not good enough for me…until I realised that I had recorded another feed which was in stereo with no distortion. Hurrah!

Therefore I decided to do some minor editing to get rid of the major equipment glitches in the sound recording, in order to improve the flow of the recording….and that is what I have upoaded here.

I do hope you enjoy it.
Please feel free to like, share and re-post. Big love. Stay safe, stay clean, stay sane. xx

DJ, Producer and Songwriter. 
Technics/DMC World DJ Mixing Champion.
Resident DJ at Manchester's infamous Hacienda.
Creator of the classic 'Hear The Drummer Get Wicked'.
Chad has been a DJ, music producer and educator since the mid 1980s, having bagged the crown of Technics/DMC World DJ Mixing Champion in 1987. Resident DJ at the now legendary Hacienda club in Manchester - to a worldwide smash hit in 1990 with ‘Hear The Drummer Get Wicked’, he has gained worldwide industry respect and recognition and was recently honoured with a DJ Legend award by DMC.
Chad has been a champion of contemporary music with his journey through many different genres throughout the years, always pushing the boundaries forward.
Originally from St Helens, Chad held a residency at Manchester’s groundbreaking Haçienda club during its heyday, being one of the architects of the newly emerging House Music scene, alongside fellow legends including Mike Pickering and Graeme Park.  Chad quickly became a key global influence in the popularization of the art of DJ mixing and remixing. While at the Hacienda he started producing remixes exclusively for use on the legendary DMC DJ-only vinyl collections, showcasing his eclectic tastes from notable artists such as Grace Jones, Kraftwerk, The Beastie Boys, De la Soul, Public Enemy, Deelite, Mantronix, Norman Cook’s Beats International and some bloke called Prince! 
Chad was one of the first British DJs to start mixing and exploring turntablism in the early 1980s. 
By the mid 80s a flyer with his name on it would guarantee queues outside clubs like Manchester’s iconic Legend club and Wigan Pier, which he took over from his great friend and early mentor Greg Wilson. Along with Greg, he was one of the first to champion the newly emerged Electro Funk sound from the likes of Newcleus, Midnight Star and Man Parrish, and was an early exponent of the newly emerging Hip Hop sound. 
Chad’s regular live broadcast sessions and end of year ‘Best Of…’ mixes on Piccadilly/Key 103 radio had the North-West of England hovering their fingers over the tape-deck record button. These original cassettes are highly prized today, with fans inundating Chad’s website for copies of these infamous mixes. 
1987 was a seminal year for Chad when he took the roof off the Royal Albert Hall in London with his skilful and entertaining DJ mixing performance at the Technics/DMC World DJ Mixing competition, where he quite rightly secured his place as one of the legendary World Champions. The world really opened up for him after winning the championship when he undertook a whirlwind 2 year world tour headlining clubs in New York, Russia, Japan, Brazil and even the closing party of the Cannes Film Festival! 
By 1990 Chad’s focus had returned to studio production, remixing and re-edits. 
His first solo work followed and Chad Jackson’s ’Hear The Drummer Get Wicked’ went straight to the top of charts around the world. It is now considered a 90’s classic. 
Three decades on and there is no sign of Chad slowing down – music flows through his veins more than ever and this is evidenced by his many current gigs, radio shows and various productions for release.  Chad has graced the decks at a range of events, from Festival No6 in Wales and Secret Garden Party in Huntingdon, through to the Hacienda in Manchester, Electrospective with Greg Wilson and Colin Curtis and the House of St Barnabas in Soho. He is currently promoting his 'Journey Through My Record Collection' imprint, with a regular radio show on Music Box Radio and a DJ tour at selected venues around the country.
