When Sam Gordon was 7 years old he fell in love with vinyl. He can recall the very first time he went into a record shop at that age “I really loved Herbie Hancock’s tune ‘Rockit’ which was released when I was 7 and I have this vivid memory of my mum taking me into Our Price in Bromley and as I was so small, she had to lift me up at the counter so I could ask the shop assistant for it” It was this shopping trip that got a young Sam hooked on music and those electro beats of Herbie Hancock stuck in his head throughout his formative years. By the time he was 15 he first started producing – “Me and my mates were messing about with the UK hip hop and early house sound we were inspired by, just sampling loads and rapping over fast hip hop beats and hardcore sounds. This would have been 1991. I had a keyboard with 3 seconds of sample time on it, which meant you could only sample one element at a time, loop it and bounce our ideas down onto a 4-track. Our little crew was called ‘Youts On The Run’ which was a reference to the experiences we had growing up in 80’s and 90’s South East London where we were constantly looking over our shoulder. Our lyrics spoke about these experiences and the music drew on the melting pot of influences that were starting to converge into the UK hardcore/early jungle scene. The Group consisted of me as MC Firefly, a mate Lee who went by DJ Frontline and handled the musical side with me and two others; Kevin “Mad X” and Dene “Iron I”. Firefly was a short lived alias as I soon changed my name to DJ Shocker, leaving the mic behind and getting on the decks instead. And then not long after that I became Missing. These name changes all happened within a two year period!”. It wasn’t long before ‘Youts on The Run’ sent off a few demos and had a phone call from one label, Gangster Records, who released tracks by a UK hip hop group Dominant Force. The label boss liked their ideas and spoke about getting them in the studio but nothing came of it and the other band members lost interest but Sam definitely had the bug!

Sam continues –“By the time I was 17 I was really keen to get into a proper studio but back then it wasn’t easy to make music like it is today where practically anyone could access a DAW; and this was pre- internet so definitely no YouTube tutorials on how to chop an amen! These were the days of analogue studios and they weren’t cheap to rent. I was at Orpington College in Kent studying for A levels and a fellow student Ian, DJ Kingsize who was a DJ on Defection FM at the time, told me about a studio he had used for a demo track in Mottingham (also in South East London), run by a guy called Martin. He was in his 50’s and a chain-smoking Yorkshireman who liked his pints. He knew nothing about jungle but he charged a reasonable fee for a day’s session, about £100, and was a nice bloke and mostly a patient engineer when being asked to try all kinds of mad edits! He had a fairly basic set up with a Roland JV1080, a Mackie 24 channel desk, an Akai S1000 that was upgraded, so had about a minutes sample time, an Atari ST running the same cracked copy of Cubase everyone seemed to have and a few sample CDs. So when it came to my 18th Birthday and my parents asked me what I wanted, I asked for a day’s studio session”. His parents kindly agreed to his request, as they could see how much enthusiasm their son had for music, and a day’s studio hire was secured.

My Mixes

Old Skool Breaks - Volume 3

This is a remix of a tune on Adrenalin Records which I made on Octamed in 1993.  Pretty basic stuff, but I would've been about 15 at the time, so go easy on me!!  I heard the original on the pirate station Exile FM which I was listening to a lot at the time and would've sampled off a tape into the Amiga.

Recently converted from Octamed into Protracker MOD format for playing on PT1210 DJ software for the Amiga.

JAS - Dream (Remix) - Amiga Octamed/Protracker

Breakbeat/Jungle/Old Skool Hardcore/Hip Hop & Beats/Techno/Reggae etc.

Music nut/hoarder, occasional composer, retro hardware tinkerer.
