Miss Moneypenny's - the legendary Birmingham Nightclub, I was a regular and between1996 - 1997 I don't think I missed a single Saturday.

So I found this old tape a couple of years ago of a DJ Mix I'd done on my decks at the time - it was titled "Miss Moneypennies Latest" - from memory I think it was meant to be a DJ demo for me to send to them. The tracks on it all really took me back to that magical time in clubbing history (despite the tape sound quality being pretty awful after probably being played to destruction at after parties / in my car) - the tracks made it pretty easy to narrow down the date to mid to late 1996.

So I decided to remake it again using all the tracks on the original tape - it's not one for the chin strokers, there are plenty of well known tunes and a few surprises - bear in mind these were the tracks that stuck out to me as a clubber from visiting weeklyand listening to the residents such as Jim Shaft Ryan as well as the guest DJs. Other people may disagree on the main tracks of 1996 or have different memories, but an actual tape from the day, mixed with the records I could buy at the time is a pretty decent reminder of the music of MP's in 1996 for me personally.

In honour of the tape I've kept the original order of tracks pretty much in tact, but with a couple of tweaks where I thought appropriate.

So press play and imagine yourself back in 1996 on the hallowed dance floor that was MP's at Bonds Nightclub. I hope you Enjoy :)

(PS If you can subscribe to  @jipmann-grooveclinic  Youtube channel I'd much appreciate and will try and recreate some more of these old mixtapes!)

Here's my live mix from ARK back in June 1993.

This is my half of a recorded night myself and Gary Norman did together. 

This was discovered on an old skool website recently. The mix was done on Technics 1210s  using good old vinyl. Enjoy!

Hi my name is DJ Mike Speed, I'm 47 and live in West Yorkshire near Leeds. I've been dj'ing since about 1986.

Started off in a youth club playing all kinds of stuff, but early acid house, hip house and classic british hip hop kept appearing in the mix, this is when I started to collect 12" vinyl with my twin brother, there was the odd bit of cheese added at times!

In the late part of 1991 we both got shows on the local pirate radio station Wacky FM, I played 9 while midnight every Friday night and also dj'ed with my brother on a sunday morning. We transformed Wacky FM in to a all dance music station nothing like this was being played like this in our area, a longtime before the likes of Kiss FM yorkshire. I also played a regular show on sister station Unique FM in Huddersfield. After a number of DTI raids, it was time to call it a day in 1995. I was mainly playing Oldskool Hardcore, Jungle, Rave, Early Techno and some Commercial Dance.

I'd been mixing on all different types of belt driven decks until I bought a pair of Technics in 1995, I always admit the belt driven decks did help me out on my mixing, but the Technics helped me so much. My music tastes were changing around this time too, delving in to more Uplifting House & and the Harder Piano tunes after starting to go to the ARK nights in Leeds. In 1996 I got a slot in a club, Eruptions, playing alongside some great Dj's including Steve Lugi, Leeds Gallery veteran until 1999. My music was getting harder, playing the very early Hard House sounds & Uplifting House, developing in to a Funky Hard house / Hard house sound with the odd bit of Edgier Harder Trance. I pretty much kept this style until around 2003 doing the odd club gig and loads of house party's. In 2003 I decided to start collecting Oldskool Hardcore, Jungle, Acid, Rave and hip house tunes in digital format & the odd bit of vinyl still. I know do mainly house party's & concentrate on doing good classic sets. I also keep up to date with all kinds of different trends of electronic music & dip in to all kinds of different styles.  I'm in to all kinds of music technology, including Tracktor & Ableton Live (currently in learning!). I've also started mixing digitally too. Also dj'ed on Renegade Radio for 4 years & Phatt 100Fm in Huddersfield for 2 years.

I've been playing again at Oldskool Events over the last 12 years, mostly on vinyl and recently mastered CDJ's. Played on the same line-ups as Seb Fontaine (Radio 1), Paul Bleasdale (Cream), Alex P, Rob Tissera, Vertigo, DJ Sy, Andy Farley, Altern8, K-Klass, Dream Frequency to name a few :). A few events I've played for are Rejuvenation - Leeds, Joy - Leeds, Quench, and resident for Free2Dance in Preston. A dream come true!
