Little Man Big  @ SMOKESCREEN 12.4.14

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...

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

Very sad to hear Pete (Woosh) passed away recently. I dug a few old classics out that I heard various DiY crew play at clubs and in fields, so much fun playing these and reminiscing. Bounce at Dance factory was the first night I went to in Nottingham when I got to uni, you could hear the tiles on the roof vibrating as you wound round the backstreets to find it. All the DiY guys played the best music, the vibe was a real take over, people dancing everywhere and on every thing, so much smoke you can hardly see. Free parties that went for days in nuts locations. Hazy times but always a lot of fun. 

Love and respect to Pete's family, close friends and of course all of DiY, Rick, Simon, Jack, Emma, Harry and the rest of the crew, RIP Pete x

DiY - RIP Pete Woosh

A musical tribute to Pete Woosh one of the founding members of the DiY sound system from Nottingham. Pete pioneered the US House sound in the UK in the early 90's. He directly influenced many artists including Groove Armada, Crazy P, Atjazz, Nail, Inland Knights and many more. He was a mentor to many DJs and musicians and a kind man,

Pete Woosh Tribute

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....
