this is part 11 in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - the tracks that were big in the clubs i was going to and the london pirates i was listening to at the time.

in 91 the music was morphing from the previous housier/US sound to a more UK vibe, with baselines and breakbeats shaping the sound. as a punter/dj back then, I had really liked the earlier music in these mixes, but from this point I felt like i was part of a scene that was largely people like me, in areas like where i lived - i was well and truly hooked!

if you think someone you know might be interested in checking it out please share with them - likewise if you have any of my music on your hard drive please share with anyone who might like it.

if you are a promoter and want to book me for a 'trust me i was there' set please contact belinda at echo

A very special 40th episode showcases arguably one of the best triple packs every released, especially considering it was relatively early in the timeline of mix cd history (1996). It features selections from Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall and Back to Basic's resident, Ralph Lawson.

We originally featured this CD in the early days of The Classic Mix CD Series, when it was recommended by Shindig's Scott Bradford as his most influential piece in his collection.

So it's fitting, that after more shouts out to use it from everyone on Facebook, that we feature all 3 discs for the 400th episode celebration. Thanks to everyone for getting involved all of the plays and positive messages.

Can me make it 500!?

Paper Recordings are currently riding high in the album charts with their Paper Cuts #1 compilation, a collection of their finest moments from the last five years or so. As some of you may know I provided the sleeve notes for the CD version of Paper Cut's and in support of the release I thought it would be cool to go through my Paper collection and dig out a selection of my personal favourites from the first 10 years of the label (1993 - 2003). All the tracks in the mix can be purchased from Juno or from Paper directly and I've also included a link to the Paper Cuts compilation - just in case you haven't already bought it.  :)

As ever, really hope you enjoy.
