I'd love to make it downloadable but I don't have it anymore. No idea where it is or how to make it so on here. 

Andrew Weatherall said Ali was so good he'd of been one of the best ❤

What a DJ , used to love basics , he would have conquered the world if he had lived through the 90’s , by far the best technical DJ in the early 90’s

New episode... 026. This CD is from Tyrant aka Craig Richards, Lee Burridge (& occasionally Sasha). The disc was released in the year 2002 on via Fabric and holds special memories for the 40 of us on the bus heading down to The Bomb in Nottingham each month, a tiny basement club with white walls, low ceilings and just a red and blue strobe light (if I remember correctly). At the time... this party was without doubt the one to be at in the country and arguably the world. The trio created a dubby, sexy sound which went onto create some of the most respected underground dj careers in the world. Awesome music and great times indeed.

Thanks for the recommendation by friend of the page Neil Evans (Flying Circus Ibiza / Tomo Entertainment... cheers Neil! And the man like Chrissy Graham for sorting the disc out. Turn it up... and enjoy the mix!

The decade-spanning career of Roy Davis Jr. is intrinsically intertwined with the history of house music. As one of the defining voices of Chicago's underground, he's worked both behind the decks and behind-the-scenes. From handling Strictly Rhythm's A&R sector in the '90s to joining seminal production crew Phuture to launching his own Undaground Therapy Muzik label, Davis Jr. isn't just a veteran but a compendium of dance music knowledge. Daft Punk cites him as an influence while the likes of Disclosure, Zed Bias and Waajeed have sought him out for collaborations.

He may be best known for his 1998 single Gabriel with Peven Everett—now a garage anthem on both sides of the Atlantic—but his discography and DJ sets go well beyond club hits. Weaving in soul, gospel, disco, techno and acid into a deep house framework, he marries raw funk, plush melodies, hypnotic synths and stripped-down arrangements. All these elements are beautifully captured on his RA Podcast. Moving from a state of eyes-closed bliss to body-moving grooves, the near two-hour session is as grounding as it is free-floating. Spiritual, sensual and tightly mixed, it's a lesson in multifaceted house music.

Andrew Weatherall's full live session from 2020Vision presents back to basics at Village Underground December 17th 2011.  It was an amazing set spanning the full 20 years of his involvement in the club and beyond.  As soon as he dropped the beatless mix of Smokebelch the room was transformed.  Fittingly the set ends with the full version...
