Wowww, right back there, best club night ever

And OT Quartet at the end, one of the tunes I want played at my funeral, just to check that I am truly dead, or I'll be banging on the casket to get out and dance.

Back to Love (Hacienda, Number 1 Club & Renaissance 'Mansfield' Classics)(Part 1 - The Number 1 Club 1992/1993) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (April 2021)
 
Just over a year ago I mixed a tribute to Manchester's 'Number 1 Club' using tracks selected and chosen from a list compiled by members of the club via the Facebook group 'The No1 Club Manchester (86-93)'. 
 
One Year on and it seems only right that we re-visit the 'Number 1' for another trip down memory lane... 
 
This time instead of doing a 'classics' mix I've tried to re-create a night and capture the sound & feel of the club from late 1992/early 1993. Utilizing some of the tracks I couldn't fit on the first mix and blending them together with the tougher more progressive music of the time I hope it gives you a feel of what a night at 'No 1' club with Tim Lennox on the turntables would have sounded like. Fingers crossed I've pulled it off....
 
I have to admit this really was a joy to do and although it's firmly a 'Number 1 Club' mix, I have to admit that by mid way through I found myself 50 miles south of Manchester on the dancefloor of another club in Mansfield, nr. Nottingham - the legendary 'Renaissance' (another place that holds many a memory).  Tim Lennox was really championing that early 90's Progressive House vibe made famous by Sasha, Ian Ossia & John Digweed. It's a sound that really doesn't get played much nowadays but really epitomizes early 90's club culture and I love it x

Duncan Bankhead - Summer 1992

A bit of SASHA from 1990! Classic House music mix tape ;-)

01 - Sasha Shelleys Aug 1990 classic mix

As Hacienda’s New Years Eve party brings together many of the club’s residents, Tom Wainwright turns in a sixty minute mix dedicated to the style & grooves that sprang from his Nineties Saturday night residency at FAC 51 with Graeme Park.

Snatching some lesser known tracks & alternate mixes from artists such as Blake Baxter, Kathy Sledge, Murk Records' Liberty City, Joe Roberts & more, Tom’s mix blends the disco edged and US club garage and house that put the sound to his time at the original club.

Tom joins Graeme Park, Greg Wilson, Jon Dasilva, Chad Jackson & Hewan Clarke for The Hacienda’s NYE Party at a Central Manchester warehouse location, a stones throw from the original club.

Tom Wainwright’s Hacienda NYE Preview Mix

I’ve decided to remake my first ever and probably most popular house mix in glorious hi-fidelity sound originally recorded over 25 years ago.

Proper Old Skool!

IAN OSSIA - SHINE Presents FAC51 THE HACIENDA @ The Warehouse - Leeds - 29:06:2013

All mixes released on YouTube one week prior to Soundcloud. 

If you're feelin these mixes with full track lists primarily focused on the 90's U.K dance music scene and anything disco, funk & soul feel free to follow, like, share!

The idea behind my page is to log and showcase the music that has influenced me over the years so that my daughter, Ebony, can listen to ‘olden day’ music and hopefully appreciate how good we had it. 

Having learnt my craft in the late 80’s at the age of 12 and teaching myself how to beat match on 1200’s within a week, I felt I had a knack for this DJ’ing thing way before it became fashionable. I would class myself as quite a versatile DJ able to lend my hand to most genres. Hopefully all those years of bedroom mixing and house parties have paid off…but that’s up to you to decide. 

I attempt to capture a constant energy in my mixes regardless of genre and am always a firm believer that the mix is as important as the track itself. I endeavour to create seamless transitions whilst maintaining the energy. During longer mixes a welcome switch in style is sometimes required. In fact different genres warrant different styles of mixing, in my opinion. And monotonous sets do nothing for me. Up and down, peaks and troughs, it’s all about building the listener up and letting them down gently.

Never one to choose tracks based on their popularity or current chart position, I hand pick the tunes I mix because I think they’ll stand the test of time. The idea being that during any of my sets I can pick a point and know I’ll dig that track or mix. Although digitally digging isn’t as rewarding as finding physical vinyl records for me, it is a whole lot easier. That said there are a lot of below par tunes out there to sift through before finding worthy tracks. Then the set process begins…I just approach it as a musical jigsaw.

Anyway, enough about me. Whether you’re getting ready to go out for the night, cleaning the kitchen or in the car, turn it up, get in the groove and I hope you enjoy the vibes  😎
