Old Skool Anthems- Mixed by Zach Scratch

Jewelz Mixtape January 1997 
Traditionally January every year there was NO new music to buy. Distributors were closed, and vinyl shipments stopped.

So some of us DJ’s had to search through our collections to find those gems that we had either forgotten about, or flipped the b-side and found an even better version/remix of a tune than was the main release. 

Not sure if that was due to a vinyl addiction and the constant hunt for something fresh, FOMO or we were just shopaholics. 

1997 was the year I had everything I had wanted for my DJ career, club gigs and regular work. I was loving the change in the music genres as they were developing … or was it that my mind was just starting to open up even more? 

Music had no boundaries, the dance floor was as open to music as to the level of expertise of the DJ. 

A good DJ played a lot of “hits” as they were easy floor fillers and got a reaction, which hits was dependent on the scene and the club in question. 

A great DJ made hits. Never afraid to push boundaries or to introduce a new sound. Crafted well into a set that filled a dance floor with trust and also entertained. Keeping a floor not playing hits was a true craft. 

Trance was on its way and in a big way. The challenge to introduce this sound was accepted! The best way I could think of to get the sound out was via the mixtapes, and 1997 was when this started happening. 

The mixtapes from 1997 will reflect a new tune being dropped in the mix to break the tune in so to speak, ok… it was more like break the punters in to a new tune. Some of these these were so different to what the normal flow was, it was almost a snap out of it moment. 

Listening back to some of the mixtapes, my naming of the sound that I loved at the time as “gangster house” is quite fitting. Arse shaking fat base on a big system, male raps and vocals made my arse wiggle while in the mix. 

Over the previous year I had built up a loyal following that would buy these mixtapes, so they were the ones to hear the new music coming through. The tapes were released as soon as I could after buying the music and I’d already be playing the tunes as I was buying them. Why wait? 

How I remember some of the reactions to some of the new sounds coming …. some were phenomenal eruptions of peaking human sound effects, some were an excuse for a quick drink at the bar or a toilet break. 

OMG and speaking of toilet break…. Being a female and playing really long sets of up to 8hrs+ you can only hold on for so long, and then add in that menstrual cycle…. 

Well it wasn’t feasible to use a bottle or cup (so much easier for the blokes right?) so I had to find tracks long enough so that I could run to the toilets trough a packed dance floor, up a set of stairs and do what I had to do and get back in time to get the next track in. Im lucky I never had gastro….  

Those of you that knew DCM and the female toilets, they were up a set of stairs and there was ALWAYS a queue. The staff had one toilet at the top of those stairs. 

The desperation if the staff toilet was occupied and the pleading with whoever was at the head of the punters toilet queue to let me go next or there would be no music was almost funny had I not been worried that would actually happen! 

Then the run back through the dance floor, crawl into the DJ booth and get the next tune in on time. Im sure people thought I was rude rushing past ….
