Selectabwoy: Mix #11.0

1994-1997 Jungle/DnB Mix Part II - 25/10/2016

Me and Shaun O’Hara go way back… 1993 to be exact. I was at college and a girl on my photography class had moved into a new shared house in Charminster, Bournemouth, 116 Avon Road to be precise. She knew I was into my music and collecting records. She was also a bit of a raver who had come down the previous year from Essex, so we had bonded over our love of partying. Anyway, she told me about a guy in the house who had a little studio and was making music and thought that I should go and meet him, so I did. That person was Dave Wallace and we have been mates ever since, touring the world and making music as Aquasky. But this was all pre-Aquasky and all I wanted to make was instrumental hip hop, sampling the many jazz, rock and obscure records I had already started to collect. Dave was busy making jungle with a guy called Shaun and that is how I and Shaun met, one weekend at the studio (Dave’s bedroom!) Mad Dog and Fugitive were in full swing but before Shaun had linked up with Dave, he had another band and history, Aurora, which had brought him success and fame. So let’s jump into that story and delve into another rave history lesson.

“In my formative years, long before I was hooked by house music, I was into 80’s synth pop and my biggest influence was the Cocteau Twins. In 1986 they did an album with Harold Budd which was an experimental album called ‘The Moon and the Melodies’, which was like their breakthrough album. I felt like we were breaking through the rave scene into the hardcore scene, so we changed the plurals and nicked the name!” Shaun explains.

Aurora - Moons And Melody EP
Shaun chilling out on Crispin’s sofa in Hounslow – 1992.

Aurora was the pairing of two likeminded individuals who liked to party. Shaun O’Hara was from Southampton but attended Brunel University in London. Crispin Miller was from Hounslow but spent a lot of his weekends down in Southampton. He was mates with some girls at the Southampton University, one of them being Shaun’s sister. Around 1991 Shaun and Crispin’s paths crossed a number of times and they found out that they both loved the acid house and rave scene. And as luck would have it, Crispin had a small, basic studio set up at his house which wasn’t far from where Shaun was living in London. The two of them decided to use their knowledge as weekend ravers and see if they could create music in that vein… and it worked! It actually worked very well indeed. “Crispin had a two up, two down in Hounslow and had sorted a little studio with some of his savings. Around 1991/1992 we would have mega sessions in the studio. Evenings, weekends, we would just get busy. Back then it was all so exciting, you didn’t want to leave the studio. We would just work on tracks without a break until we had something by the end of it. We didn’t take a break. Those were amazing times and we had so much enthusiasm for what we were doing” Shaun tells me, still brimming with excitement as he recalls these events nearly 30 years ago. “I even remember where the name Aurora came from. It was the first tune me and Crispin ever did together. Crispin had sampled a film where someone says ‘Wow, it’s the Aurora borealis’ and the word just stood out, so we used it. That track never got released but I am sure I have it on a cassette tape somewhere!”
