Here is one of CJ's iconic sets records at Ministry of Sound in 1996, all vinyl!!

CJ Mackintosh Live @ Ministry Of Sound 1996

This is a digitised copy of a tape I picked up in 1993, when David Morales played at the Hacienda 11th birthday party. I was actually there that night, Morales played in the basement (not usually open at the Hac) from 4-6am, while Frankie Knuckles played in the main room.

Stripped to the waist, wearing a skull cap & tattooed muscles, Morales played street tough New York City house music, and there's lessons in here for modern DJs. I know this mix off by heart, and re-listening to it 21 years later, I can say it's still fresh. 

This particular night at The Hacienda has gone down in legend - for the wrong reasons. The club was full of local gangsters, taking watches from wrists and starting fights. These were the 'gunchester' days, you had to keep your head down.

Listen to the mix - at the end the record abruptly ends, starts again and then ends. This was when Morales was being mugged by a pack of 'scallies' - I myself witnessed them hit him on the head with a glass, lean over the decks and take his vinyl.

This episode was written up in Peter Hook's excellent book - 'How Not To Run A Club'. Apparently after the incident Morales said "you don't pay me enough to bleed"....

Luckily you can now enjoy from the safety of your own home!!

Rave on :)
