Colin Faver. Always an essential weekly listen on Kiss FM back in the good 'ol days!

A part of the very fabric of the UK techno scene, Dave Angel’s status as an erudite for electronic culture is not based upon hyperbole or smothered in exhausting superlatives but cemented in facts and encased in the endless memories of those who have lived, loved and danced to the astonishing output of music he has created over the years.

Born the son of a Jazz musician and elder brother to British hip-hop artist Monie Love, Dave’s path in music came to the fore during the explosion of the acid house scene in London back in the late 80’s. Hosting one of the zeitgeist shows of its time, Dave’s weekly broadcast on pirate radio station Phaze One saw him champion a new sound that was gradually captivating the youth of the country and which would later catapult him into the media spot light with notable publications like Mixmag, DJ Magazine and The Guardian all proclaiming Dave as a one of the major forces in the UK techno/acid house scene.

DJing formed a natural progression into the recording process and in 1989 after tinkering at home with a basic set-up of a keyboard and two tape decks Dave’s first attempts at production created a somewhat controversial remix of Eurhythmics ‘Sweet Dreams’, which Dave called his ‘Nightmare Mix’.

Dave Angel @ Obsession - 3rd Dimension, Westpoint nr. Exeter, U.K.  30.10.1992

I've been working on this set on and off for over 3 years. I was constantly challenged with the tune selection. I made a 45 min mix in 2018 and loved it, kept it to myself, and then when I went to remix it I totally changed it. Anyway.. this is my '92 Happy breakbeat Mix. I actually played a lot of these tunes back in the day but I've definitely added to my 92 collection over the years. These are some of the best 92 piano tunes that I own, but there are sooooo many more OMG! That said, I'm trying to add tunes that you may not have heard me play before too to keep it interesting. This is Part 2 of a new series I'm creating to showcase some of the best of my collection in each of my early years. I started DJing in 92, but started raving in '88. Part one is 91-92 that I havent finished yet, but coming soon. Also, look out for my 92 darkside Halloween set coming in the next few months too. Thanks for listening. Njoy!

After replacing 3 songs and slightly extending the mix, I've now enabled downloads. The replacement tunes are:

1. Scar Wars (Big ups to Ruff Tactics) AKA Tactical Aspect
2. The Power Within Liquid Crystal - BIZZ 3
And I removed:
1. G-Force (Energy Flow)- Prodigy
2. Kleptomania  - Morf (Plastascene Mix)
3. Drop It - A Homeboy A Hippie & A Funki Dredd

Yes, that's me in 92ish. Those were GOOD DAYS!

a big shout out to the Sheffield crews! 
the night DJ Doc Scott dropped in again with MC Man Parris at Techno City at Occasions night club in Sheffield.
its hard to imagine it was 1991, but it was, when the sweat was dripping down the walls & off the celling, the floor was rumbling & the cheers could be heard as you stomped the night away, with the duo that are these 2 masters.

Altern-8 is an Early UK Rave music duo band featuring Mark Archer and Chris Peat.
They were one of the UK rave bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s whose trademark was loud electronic tracks with a heavy bass line. Altern-8's members wore facemasks and chemical warfare suits. The band was signed to Network Records based in Stratford House, Birmingham, England.

Altern-8 was formed in Stafford in 1990, as a side project to the already successful Nexus 21 (a name chosen because of its "futuristic House sound), when both members were 21. From the outset the band's objective was to develop their style which was heavily influenced by the musical elements of other Detroit House music artists Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, as well as the Chicago sound of Phuture and early electronic heroes Kraftwerk.

Altern-8 tunes changed the world of Rave music, influencing many artists, with their mixture of the sounds of the Roland TB-303, 808 and 909 with breakbeats and familiar samples. At the time in the UK, outdoor rave events were legal, and Altern-8 had a reputation for turning up to play at major unofficial events. They helped to define harder House tracks relying more heavily on bass and volume. The use of more bass and eclectic noises gradually evolved Altern-8's music away from the earlier House music style. The duo, dressed in chemical warfare suits and dancing "like electrified monkeys", took part in a large number of live performances.

Notable Altern-8 tracks include "Activ-8", "E-vapor-8", "Frequency", "Brutal-8-E", "Armageddon", "Move my body", "Hypnotic St-8" and "Infiltrate 202". The band produced an album on the Network Records label in 1992 called Full On... Mask Hysteria. However when hardcore-styled rave music went out of fashion they started to get involved in the development of commercial house music. In 1992, Peat entered as a candidate for the Stafford constituency in the General Election representing the Hardcore (Altern8-ive) party. He polled 158 votes and finished in fourth place. In 1993, Archer began producing as Slo Moshun with Danny Taurus, responsible for Bells of N.Y., and Xen Mantra.
