Here's a recording of Simon DK, when he played at my PENG event in Exeter, 30th June 2007.
Simon was my fave ever deep house dj, and a super lovely guy! 
His dj sets influenced the sounds of The Rurals.
He'll be missed...but, his legacy will live on through the music!!

Cabbage Moon Free Party - Nympsfield May 09

7.30-9.00 Simon n Pete Live at Cabbage Moon Free Party

Ah, sweet sketchy bird of youth. The soundtrack to countless road-trip missions & after (after) hours debauchery. 94/95-ish, full of hypnotic deepness & euphoric funk.

DiY Digs & Woosh Vol.9

A very special podcast for us from the one and only Simon DK (DiY).

Recorded Live @ Earth in 1995 this podcast is still sounding fresh today capturing DiY perfectly. DiY soundsystem are one of our biggest influences and their parties are a pinnacle part of clubbing history.

Massive shout out to Simon for allowing us to re-upload this bit of magic.

Enjoy x

The DiY Sound System was one of Britain's first house sound systems. The group "divided their activities between free parties and legal club nights, acting as a bridge between counter-culture and the mainstream".

It was created in Nottingham in 1989 as a reaction against the growing number of rave promoters whose bias was towards their own financial enrichment, rather than the joy of their party-goers. They wished to form a cohesive, collective, political front against the prevailing anti-rave legislation that was beginning to come into force at that time. This became more marked around the time of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, with DiY playing a key role in the largest illegal rave ever put on at Castlemorton Common Festival prior to the Bill and a constant stream of illegal, outdoor parties (often at travellers' sites, quarries and disused airfields) all over the country. Simon Reynolds writes that DiY threw "free parties at abandoned airfields or on hilltops, drawing a mixed crowd of urban ravers and crusty road warriors".[2]

DiY also worked successfully in the realm of legitimate club nights, with their "Bounce" night touring the country as well as being a staple of Nottingham's night life. Its popularity, connected to its lack of concern for dress codes and its non-exploitation of its loyal clubbers, coupled with its very particular form of deep, soulful, often minimal house music, led to it being recognised as one of the top ten club nights in Britain by The Times.

In 1993, they also began their own record label, Strictly 4 Groovers, which later became known as DiY discs. They released house music on vinyl until 2006, which included releases by local talents Atjazz, Rhythm Plate and Charles Webster. The collectives primary DJ's - Simon DK, Digs and Woosh - still play at various nights in the U.K., Europe and United States.

DiY still occasionally hold free parties, typically to celebrate a milestone date - on 19 September 2009, DiY celebrated their 20th birthday with a free party in near their home town of Nottingham.,[3] while on 23 August 2014, they their 25th (Silver) birthday with a free party held in a field in Leicestershire.

I had intended to keep these recodings to myself, But thats just selfish and I cant do it. Heart on my sleeve now, But for me, DiY were always at their best on their second or third night in. this recording lives up to the spirit of this and is just incredible. 6 hours and still going strong. what more can yo ask for. Keep it real, Keep it DiY.

Cafe Rene 22-11-14 DK & Woosh (Alice's Bday) PT2

This is the 2nd Mixtape that was made available in early '93 which was part of a set of tapes that were recorded live at the Deepeace/DiY NYE party at the end of '92. The party was in Marshfeild on the outskirts of Bath & If you were one of the thousands there I'm sure you will agree it was one of the most memorable NYE parties I've ever experienced!
This mix is me delving more into the progressive side of house that was about in the free party scene & the slightly harder edged U.S. house, although always coming back to that deeper jazz tinged groove that i loved. 
Re-mastered from original recordings with no gap for a full 90mins of unbroken music for your listening pleasure ...enjoy Mr M x
