Samples from Rave FM DJs, October 1989, remixed and edited by Nolan Thorboy on audio cassette tape. Rave FM was a pirate radio station which broadcast in the East Midlands and was set up by a DJ collective which included later DiY DJs such as Jack and Digs & Woosh. The audio cassette master has had countless playings in the last 20 years so the digitalised version is rather RAW - but vintage nevertheless.

Sir Real

Aesthete, Shropshire UK. Dance musicologist - Chicago house, deep house, funky house, underground house, techno, electro, drum & bass. The Rave FM mixes from the 1990s were made in Nottingham in the days of the early rave scene when 'rave' was a melting pot of house, jungle, drum & bass and techno. The original recordings came from pirate radio stations and were remixed using three audio cassette tape decks, rocking and rolling and even splicing. The master cassettes have been played so many times over the years they're now falling apart. Check out the subliminals!
