Mix number 6 in my house classics series... But this one's a bit different, it's dedicated to one of my favourite record labels back in the early/ mid 1990's, Cleveland City Records.

Cleveland City was born out of Ruby Red record shop in Wolverhampton, UK. It's first release was in 1993 and the labels sound ranged from jazzy, disco inspired house through to solid bass heavy club monsters. They released Tony Di Barts 'Real Thing' in 93, which catapulted Cleveland City to headline status. 

This is my personal pick of Cleveland City favourites, all playing a part in my clubland upbringing during the mid 1990's.

As always, mixed on two Technics 1210's and an Allen & Heath Xone 22 mixer - no computer trickery allowed.

Enjoy, share, reminisce and DANCE!

Stubbzie's House Classics Mix Vol 6 (Cleveland City Records Special)

Evoke #1 - Foldy

Emerging from the vibrant city of Thessaloniki, Greece, Nelson X is a prodigious talent in the Afro House scene. His formal training at a professional music academy provided the foundation for a rapid and impressive ascent. A defining moment came in 2023 with his debut, "Why," on the celebrated Spanish label Redolent Music. The track's immediate success, securing a position in the Beatport Afro House Top 100 and earning a feature on the label's annual "Best Of" compilation, marked his arrival as a formidable production force.
Now, for his latest release, Nelson X joins QulaqAs Records to unveil "The Decision" - a commanding and inspirational anthem. This is a masterclass in modern dancefloor energy, built on a foundation of unrivaled bass pressure, cutting-edge synth work, and a powerfully motivational vocal that electrifies the atmosphere. This is more than a track; it's a statement piece, meticulously designed to dominate the dancefloor with unbridled freshness and power.

Running for a bumper 3 hours 41 minutes, Ozmosis is a combination of recordings from my first Australian visit in October 2006, edited together to form a whole and given away as a limited data disc, which also included my lecture at the Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne, and various interviews, articles and photographic images that I took on my travels. The 3 appearances were at the infamous Revolver in Melbourne on Oct 21st, Sugar in Adelaide on Oct 27th, and Mad Racket in Sydney on Oct 28th. Here’s a YouTube clip filmed at the Melbourne gig:

The following was written on my return to the UK:

AUSTRALIA AFTERTHOUGHTS:
Got back from Australia a couple of days ago. Went over for the Red Bull Academy and a trio of DJ dates in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Had a great time and already planning a return next summer, when I also hope to take in Perth and Brisbane, as well as Auckland and Wellington in NZ.

The whole Red Bull thing is very impressive – so much preparation and attention to detail (not to mention funding) goes into it all. The students really know their stuff as well, and it was an absolute pleasure to be invited across to give a talk (on UK dance culture pre-House) and host an editing demo (old school style on reel-to-reel).

The club dates went brilliantly – having now played in New York, Australia and various European countries, it’s clear that the underground scene is undoubtedly global. The internet has truly revolutionised the way we’re all inter-connecting and even though I was on the other side of the World, I met so many people on a similar wavelength.

As a relatively new country with a multicultural vibe, I’ve a feeling that Australia is primed to really make its mark. Despite not having the direct connections with black culture that have had such a huge influence in the US and UK, a younger generation is now retrospectively embracing the dance music of the 70’s and 80’s, taking in new (old) influences. There’s a melting pot bubbling away, which I’m sure will result in some really interesting groove fusion.

Having spent a few weeks over there, I’m more confident than ever that we’re entering an exciting new era for dance culture. There are definite parallels with the early 80’s when the supposed death of Disco allowed dance music the necessary space to explore new hybrid forms in a more fertile underground environment. However, whilst this was mainly centred around New York, nowadays the geography is less important – the scene being globalized, rather than regionalized.

As Ian Brown once famously said (paraphrasing Rakim), ‘it’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at’ – words that resonate more strongly today than ever.

Glitterbox Recordings welcome Aston Martinez and Marco Berto into the fold with their debut release on the imprint, a high-energy and joyous disco number. ‘Holdin On’ features the familiar vocals of Bryan Chambers, who appeared previously on the label providing vocals for Seamus Haji’s ‘I Got You’, his soulful musings a perfect fit for this irresistible dance cut. Bouncing keys, groove-filled riffs and charming percussion come together on ‘Holdin’ On’ to provide a dose of classic disco nostalgia, while Aston and Marco’s slick production keep the record sounding fresh. This package also features the Dub Excursion, stripping back the vocal to provide an essential DJ tool for disco selectors. This is a Glitterbox Recordings debut not to be missed.

Glasgow Underground was set up in 1997 by Kevin McKay. He began the label releasing his own music and collaborations with friends and other Glasgow-based artists (Omid 16b, Studio Blue, DJ Q, Harri). Through his DJing and work for various music magazines (Muzik, Jockey Slut, Mixmag Update) he met some of his favourite producers of the time (Romanthony, Mateo & Matos, Idjut Boys...) and convinced some of them to join him releasing on GU. In the early 2000s, Kevin met Mylo and set up the Breastfed record label. The global success of "Destroy Rock & Roll" meant Glasgow Underground was put on hold. After leaving the Breastfed label in 2011, Kevin re-started Glasgow Underground and since then the label has gone on to re-invigorate Romanthony's catalogue with remixes from the likes of Dixon, MCDE, Gerd, Andres, Oliver Dollar, Ejeca, Audiojack, Claptone, Christian Nielsen, Supernova, Jimmy Edgar and Waifs & Strays. The label has also introduced producers like Daniel Trim, Brett Gould, Mia Dora and Illyus & Barrientos as well has releasing established & rising stars such as Metodi Hristov, Stefano Ritteri and Sabb.
