Description: Before Spectrum or Future there was the The Project Club, first in Ibiza and then in Streatham, South London. This was the club that Trevor Fung got going on his return from Ibiza. This mix is a selection of trax circa 1988 and recorded as a tribute to the club.

class, used to go to The Future, Thursday nights at the little club behind Heaven, go through the door,s ( give the bouncers a 10 spot & you would walk in to hear Fabio & Grooverider playing early hardcore,  do from hearing Balearic beats to Hardcore

ah got the wrong club,mind Paul Oakenfold ran both night,s

it didn't last too long at Ziggis either. but loving the music

loving this latest mix - quality stuff as per usual.

Great mix, classic after classic. Thanks for the DL :-)

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 :>

Sasha NYE91@ Kaos, Warehouse pt1

Classic mix from London's finest capturing the raw energy at seminal nightspot.

Colin Faver at Nude Hacienda Aug 89'

HACIENDA - JAN 27, 1991 - From the lost master tapes which turned up in storage last year, the raw master from my only Hacienda appearance in Manchester, U.K.   No editing or remastering, this is the raw uncut which I feel is important to keep in its original form.  There is a couple of glitches and noise issues but that is to be expected from a 24 year old DJ mix.

a tribute to a club called RAGE at Heaven under the arches, London...this selection of tracks is from early 1991 timeframe

RAGE 1991

This mix pays tribute to the sounds of early 1988. Back then in London it was all about clubs like Spectrum & Future on Mon & Thu nights respectively, Enter The Dragon on a Wed and Trip at Astoria at the weekend...Included are early Chicago and New York tracks with Future being more experimental with New Beat & Balearic themes. Spectrum was where it was banging tho…I can always remember the Heaven laser rig slowly descending towards the dance floor when Slam by Phuture Pfantasy Club was doing the damage…mmm wicked.
