Craig this is brilliant,  I was 19 in 88 and deeply immersed myself along with my mates into the London acid house scene for a solid 5 years and occasional y beyond. Still a huge dance music fan and your mix certainly hits the spot. 🙂

fantastic mix, and im old enough to of lived through this era, brilliant times.

1990, or was it 1991?  The first hour of this is probably more akin to what was played at the Warehouse in Leeds in those years, but the mix could have just as easily been called Ricky's or the Gallery or named after any other club in the North of England for that matter.  The Warehouse was the first club I went to though and its a tribute to how blown away I was as soon as I'd blagged my way in saying I'd lost my mates, even though I looked about 12.  Those nights, and Boy Wonder especially were very special indeed.

This is a live recording of my set on Monday November 28th at the Walthamstow Rock n Roll Book Club after a talk with Bez from The Happy Mondays about his latest book. No synch button, no prerecord, no point mix edits. It's live and raw, exactly how we did it back in the day.

Here's my mix of some of my favourite Jenkins Lane Raindance rave classics from 1988-1991.
Over an hour of vinyl only tunes from in my opinion the best years on the rave spectrum and fond memories of Jenkins Lane.  Please be aware I own all of these records and some are over 30 plus years old and have been played thousands of times so some clarity may have gone .
This is for those who were there in warehouses, fields and big tops as I was and those that can only wish they were there .
Part 2 is out NOW check it out .
Please enjoy and comment good or bad   .Phill

1988-1991 RAINDANCE RAVE CLASSICS, PART 2. MIXED BY PHILL LEGGATT

Here's a mix of my set from N.Y.E.  I played for a few hours in the 1991 Rave Cave before Shades Of Rhythm & Micky Finn.
The set starts off with some classic old skool piano house and it builds throughout towards the Ravier side of things as the night went on.. N-joy .x

Thanks to Simon Stereo8 for the gig! 

N-joy! X

J.RAINBOW 1991 MIX N.Y.E  2016/17 @ SPIEGELTENT BRISTOL

Many people have different interpretations of what acid house is. I unfortunately missed the U.K scene by a few years so never got to live it but for me this mix epitomises what I would have wanted to hear. If you were lucky enough to live through the scene then hopefully you’ll find a moment that’ll take you right back to the dance floor.

For me the beauty of sets during the 87-90 era was never knowing if the next track would be an acid, techno, hip house or piano house track but you could pretty much guarantee it was gonna be a banger! I’ve tried to replicate that sequence throughout the set.

Many fresh edits and a few newer acid tunes are included to spice things up but as always I’ve tried to keep them as close to the originals as possible. Some tunes blatantly weren’t made during the era but fit it so well I just couldn’t resist.

With that in mind turn it up as this one’s mixed to make you move! Peace, Love & Unity! 😎

The Acid House Experience - 18-09-19 (Warehouse Classics)

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. Many may regard this as the golden age of early 90’s house between 91-93 and no doubt you’ll recognise many tunes taken from various sets including Sasha at Universe - Pleasure Planet, probably the most popular house mix amongst UK ravers to date! For me, this is where my house journey began and I still draw a lot of influence from the early 90’s.

This one's loaded with classics throughout. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did mixing it 😎

History Of My House - Chapter 2 - 07-08-20 (Sasha - Universe)

Back to Love (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Home Nightclub Classics)(Part 3 - The Hacienda 1993) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (February 2021)
 
Finishing my trilogy of nostalgic nights at the grand daddy of all Manchester night clubs, the legendary 'Hacienda'.
 
I never got to DJ at the Hacienda (well once at a private function downstairs in the 'Gay Traitor' does that count?) But let's face it when you have Russ Marland & Mike Pickering on a Friday and the legendary partnership of Tom Wainwright & Graeme Park on a Saturday the only place you ever wanted to be in the Hacienda was on the dancefloor! I missed the early years as I was only a puppy in short trousers when it opened so I started going in 1992, but for me it was 1993-1995 that really stood out as the ultimate Hacienda years. The music, the atmosphere, Tom & Graeme working the night, it was just magical. I remember one night being stood outside were those huge fire doors and you could hear those David Morales 'Def Mix' deep basslines coming from inside, it was like a cathedral of sound... There will never be another like it.
 
This mix features the sounds and tracks that I loved and were played there in 1993. It's not necessarily the big anthems but for me personally every record just encapsulates the sound that was 'The Hacienda'. Hopefully it will transport you back to an imaginary 1993 night at the corner of 'Whitworth Street, Manchester'.

Back to Love (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Home Nightclub Classics)(Part 3 - The Hacienda 1993)

If you're feeling these mixes with full track lists primarily focused on the 90's U.K dance music scene feel free to follow and share!

The idea behind my page is to log and showcase the music that has influenced me over the last 35+ 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  😎
