Top Buzz @ Universe - April 30th 1993

Hi Everyone,Welcome to my tribute page In Memory of Michael. Its nearly a year now since my best ever freind , my brother , my raving partner , Michael Arthur aged 33yrs sadly passed away. Its been a massive shock to all his friends and family,especailly his mum and dad ,sister and wife Polly and has 2 children,Mya & Logan. Life will never be the same again. He was the most charasmatic person ever, He had an amazing sense of humour and was the man who kept the partys going and brought joy to those who were down and was full of wise words.Always telling jokes his laugh and smile was infectious.He loved his footy and was a dedicated Chelsea fan. Words cannot explain how much we all miss him. We met at School when i moved to Bicester it was my first Maths lesson , he was sat next to me and we clicked just like that. We loved the same computer games , same clothes , and the same music - Hip Hop and at the time Hardcore rave.We shared Tapes and collected flyers all the time, got decks and did loads of random pub and club gigs around Oxford , Didcot , Banbury , Wantage, illegal raves in Luton and High wycombe we went everywhere. , he was my Raving partner , we did the Sancturary all the time in Milton Keynes and Diehard in Leicester they were both our regular hideouts lol!. We both had a passion for music and it was that ,that brought us to a freindship that brought many other people and familys together. I thank his wife Polly for passing his collection of Tapes over. I wanted to share his old rave tapes with you all cause i know he would want that and i will be upgrading this site in the near future for more uploads. I hope that these all bring you all back some of the best memorys with freinds like they do for me with Michael. Great times , Crazy times , unforgettable times. We love and Miss you mate so much  Please feel free to make a donation via paypal, as the proceeds will go to his 2 Children Mya & Logan (Pollyarthur77@yahoo.co.uk). Many thanks and hope you enjoy the tunes. RIP - MICHAEL xxx  

SOUNDMODE1 is totally addicted to everything Old Skool...

The late 80's and early 90's were a special era in dance music. The early Acid House and Rave Scene were huge, and many styles of music emerged which have evolved into the genres you hear today.

SOUNDMODE1's life was changed one day in 1991 when he was handed his first Mix Tape and he has not looked back musically since.

Early influences include such DJ's and Producers as Carl Cox, Sasha, Dave Clarke, Ellis Dee, Top Buzz, Phantasy, Ratty, Krome and Time, 2 Bad Mice, Danny Breaks, LTJ Bukem, Nookie, Foul Play and many more...

He bought a set of Technics 1210's at 15 and played at many Private Parties locally spreading his musical vibe, introducing friends to DJ'ing and partying hard with some amazing people.

For one reason or another the decks had to be sold a few years later, but SOUNDMODE1 never lost his love for the Music or the Scene, attending Raves and Club nights across the UK and beyond and Promoting the Hard House night OUT OF THIS WORLD in the Channel Islands with long time friend Michael Hooker

After a 12 year break from DJ'ing SOUNDMODE1 rediscovered his passion in 2010 and has been busy tweaking his mixing skills, and sorting through huge amounts of tunes to bring you the finest music of a very special generation.

SOUNDMODE1 is Promoter/Resident DJ for Old Skool club night -MELTDOWN - coming to Jersey soon.

Also expect plenty of new mixes in 2011, ranging in genres from early House and Acid House, to Hardcore, Jungle, Techno and early Happy Hardcore!

If it's Old Skool, SOUNDMODE1 will be playing it...
