wicked reminds me when there used to be hip hop played at the latter stages of mammoth free parties. lots of mark farina's mixes on here very similar. he is another wicked dj

awesome. d&w are great, and 96 a regal vintage for hip hop...... love it love it love it

Ripped off an old cassette tape given to me way back in the day.
Recorded at a free party put on by Nottingham DJ collective DiY.

DiY free party, recording circa 1996 mix by Lucy

Simon DK from the DiY Sound System was an integral part of putting the deep in the early British house scene and free party culture beginning in the late 80’s… and a central inspiration to all of us that went on to form the Deep Cartel soundsystem and collective...  DiY were renowned for punk principles but with beautiful music and DK embodied this spirit to the end… he will be deeply missed but so wonderfully remembered for getting so many of us deep inside in his transcendent sets… ...this set here a true gem and one of the highlights of a series of nights the Deep Cartel hosted in the SW from 2000-2003... DK with his finger on the pulse breaking records nobody had heard at the time, brand new tunes fresh from San Francisco... finally I dug out the MiniDisc recording after 20yrs in the barn, remastered it to brighten up the lost EQ.... and here you go...

DK at his best after an absence of far far too long. The DK magic is still as strong as ever. This recording will just make you cry out for MORE DK.


DK DiY 25th Birthday

This is another recording from our Thursday night Jo-Jos night in Stroud from 1996. we had asked Rick and Pete to come and play a hip hop set for us, just for a bit of a change. The local Hip Hop kids could not contain their delight and we had various request for a mic from the word go. We managed to flow them off for most of the night. but eventually one of them ran home to get a mic, so the last 20 mins has some local MCing on it. They  where good lads, so we put up with it as to not offend them too much.

Cafe Rene 22-11-14 DK & Woosh (Alice's Bday)PT3

All these tunes were released on the DIY Communications or Strictly4Groovers label in the 90's, still sounding so good. All mixed on 12" vinyl using 1210's. I tried to make this as close as I could, to being how I remember it to be at one of the many DIY events I attended 25 years or so ago. I hope you enjoy this one....

What can only be described as an orgasmic performance from Rick and Pete. This recording dates from September 1993 and was recorded at Saul Lodge near Stroud at a Mumbo Jumbo event and make no mistake, The Saul Lodge rocked that night!!! This demonstrates how good DIY/Digs and whoosh are, Tune after Tune all night long!!!! If only I could turn back the clock and do it all over again. Please enjoy.
