pure rave beat here .early rave was awesome.

Each to their own, music was different back then but i do think todays house/tech/trchno is better produced but lets not lose the ideology where it all came from...

Good Times when Dj did actually scratch  with lp🥰

This is wonderful! Like a beautiful time capsule. ❤🎶❤👑🦄

About the CD:
So another Mixmag Live! cd here, but there was a massive gap of anything rave related in the series so it's time to fix that. With non other than the first ever Mixmag cd... 01 (funnily enough). It rolls through Cox's mix of hardcore, or what I'd simply call early rave music via the epic "Atomic Matter" and "I want you forever". Dave Seaman's mix continues the 90's warehouse flavour with a pitched down selection. "Brass Disc" is a stand out along side "I'm Coming Hardcore" and "You Keep The Love". All in all... a ravetastic CD!

016 - Mixmag Live! Vol 1 feat. Carl Cox and Dave Seaman (1996)

On May 4, 1992, Sasha performed at Mixmag's Club Tour event series in Rotherham.

To mark 30 years since the legendary set, the long-lost mix has now been remastered after a copy was discovered in someone's garage just last year.

Live from Ceamfields

Underworld Live - Creamfields, Old Speke Airport, Liverpool, 24.08.02

I can't remember a time without the strains of soul music drifting through our house. With both parents coming from Barbados I was brought up very much in tune with a natural party ethos that went hand in hand with a love of good music. My earliest musical memories are of Booker T and the MGs, Aretha Franklin and, of course the great Elvis, and I used to hijack my parents collection of 70's soul 45's and get the whole family grooving round the lounge! I guess the early signs were there - my passion for music combined with an over-whelming desire to entertain as many people as possible.

By 10 I had well and truly caught the bug and was spending every bit of my pocket money on soul and funk records. I got my first pair of decks (just the 2!) by the age of 15 and I started to play as many parties as I could, discovering that I could buzz off a crowd whilst funding my habit at the same time. As the 70's became the 80's I followed the musical trend from soul to disco to hip-hop but it wasn't really until I moved to Brighton in 1986 that I discovered, along with so many others, the pure thrill of acid house.

The 'Summer Of Love' was special for me in more ways than one. It was at the Sunrise rave on the outskirts of London in 1988 that I had had my biggest breakthrough yet. I was already something of a regular on the infamous M1/Orbital rave circuit but it was at Sunrise that I had the idea to hook up a third deck. At 10.30am on a hazy Sunday morning I managed to tempt 15,000 partied out ravers back onto their weary feet and kick the party back into action - it was an amazing experience- and since then my phone has not stopped ringing with offers for 'The 3 Deck Wizard'. I was fortunate enough to participate in many of the events that have gone down in history as defining moments in the history of UK club culture, such as playing the opening night at Rampling's legendary Shoom, running The Project with Oakie as well as holding a residency at Brighton's ZAP club.

With my reputation as a DJ well and truly secured I was able to turn my attentions towards producing. Initially signing to Perfecto I had my first hit in 1992 with 'I Want You' and, believe me, no one was more surprised than me when I found myself performing on Top Of The Pops when my record peaked at number 23 in the UK charts!!

Despite the fact that the follow up 'Does It Feel Good To You' also charted in the top 40, commercial success was never what I had been aiming for, it was all somewhat too far removed from the reality and buzz of setting a dance floor alight. Whilst fellow spinners such as Grooverider and Fabio moved from raves into Jungle, choosing to focus on a very UK and London orientated sound, I couldn't escape the American and European influences that had always been there whilst I was growing up. I have always been very globally minded which comes across in my choice of music, which I use to cross physical and cultural boundaries to bring people together. Essentially my heart lies with house and techno and it was for this reason that I chose to take a back seat from my impending career as a pop star and be true to myself by going underground and re-discovering my roots.

093 - Carl Cox -  F.A.C.T - Disc 1 (1995)

Where to begin with Slipmatt? A founding father of hardcore and rave in the UK he is arguably one of the most definitive figures in UK dance music having helped soundtrack some of the most iconic raves and parties this country has ever seen.

From Moondance to Fantasia, Helter Skelter to Raindance, Energy to Clockwork Orange.  Slipmatt has played them all and is regarded as a figurehead of rave culture.

Very little which has come since would have happened if it were not for his commitment and boundary breaking approach to dance music in the 90's.

Slipmatt is one of the masterminds behind legendary production outfit SL2 (along with Lime and MC Jay), the visionaries responsible for the chart smashing anthems ‘On A Ragga Tip’ & ‘Way In My Brain’ which helped to define popular rave culture in the UK. This year marks thirty years since the release of 'On A Ragga Tip' - a track which remains as relevant and renowned in the present as it did at its inception.

In the present he continues to DJ and remains as crucial as ever, remodelling his traditional sound within the house music community with his 'Slip’s House' radio show on Centreforce 88.3 DAB digital radio every Wednesday from 8pm.

This mixtape takes us back to the roots of his sound, focussing on the 91-92 era and we are delighted and humbled to be able to welcome him to the series.
