DJ and producer, Terry Farley heads back to the 'second summer of love' and celebrates some of the biggest Acid House tracks, 25 years on.

Along with Andrew Weatherall, the duo started the now notorious Boy's Own fanzine in 1986, which commented on the slang, the parties, the tunes and the humour of the acid house days, and which also lead to the creation of the label Junior Boys Own. This imprint specialised in dance music and put out records by Orbital and Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers, which celebrates 15 years this year.

Terry began making productions with Andy Weatherall, Hugo Nicholson and Pete Heller under the name Bocca Juniors. He later teamed up with Pete Heller and has gone on to re-mix many of the world's leading artists and singers: everyone from U2 to New Order; to the Happy Mondays and Primal Scream at the height of Balearica. He has also produced Kylie Minogue, The Farm and M People.

About the CD:
So this came out of the blue in 2000 and was a new mix compilation that gained a lot of fans not just from its unique theme (what's not to like!) and retro artwork which stood out on the shelves. Not only that but the music was damn good too. Dimitri from Paris delivers a driving soulful collection which had its own unique flavour and was perfect for nights out, driving, after parties and whatever else. Shout out to Just Lance in Dubai for reminding us about this one!

Play it loud, share the mix and enjoy!

About the cd:
Taking it with back with this CD, another icon of the shelves at HMV. I remember the name 'Hard Times' burning itself into my memory, it was just sounded quality as a 17 year old kid. That alongside 'That important house guy from America called Todd Terry'. The CD was a double pack which basically recorded his set live, it's even got the MC at the start shouting out in a heavy Yorkshire accent, haha awesome stuff.

Special shout out to the man like Nick Sneddon for helping with this one. Keep them coming mate, so much good stuff to share and bring back to everyone. Thanks again!

About the CD:
A little more info on Touchsoul Edits & Mixes Music Page. He's got almost 8000 followers on Soundcloud and his edits have been picked up by the likes of BICEP, 6th Borough Project, One20 and I'm sure many house and re-edit fans have at least one of his pieces. Here's what Adrian had to say about his favourite CD...

"The reason I selected this for the series was, for myself, it being personal time piece, the quality of the tracks and the mix being consistently good. Building through some great soulful house vocals and dubs into some deep cuts that haven't dated since it's release in 2002. Having quite a few of these on vinyl picked up around the time, including Mindflight's "Release", Derrick White's "Soul 2 Let Go" and Kerri Chandler's "Atmospheric Beats" the mix by silky deep house man Miguel Migs was never far from the earlobes at the time. And being released on the ever consistently good Naked Music label, its great from start to finish. A true reflection of the kinds of tracks I played out in sets when I started out DJing. Enjoy!!" Cheers Aidi!

Balearic Beats

Freshly uploaded to SoundCloud, the recording from my recent appearance at Pikes, Ibiza on May 19th, when I was one of the secret DJs, along with Graeme Park, for their Monday night session at Freddie’s.

FREDDIE'S @ PIKES IBIZA 19.05.25 (greg wilson live mix)

Babe, It’s A Vibe is pure confidence on a groove. Hypnotic Tech House energy with breathy vocals, swagger, and bite. It’s seductive, cheeky, and unapologetic: not a trend, not a phase, just a vibe that owns the floor.

Heels high. Bass low. Lights up.

Lyrics:

Mirror said yes
Mood said more
Don’t ask why
Babe, it’s a vibe

Boots laced tight, lips blood red
Didn’t read the invite
Wrote it instead
They do safe
I do sin
I don’t blend
I begin

Pose. Hold.
Shift. Glow.
Stare...
Let it show.

Babe, it’s a vibe 
Not a phase
Didn’t dress for them 
Dressed to blaze
Not a trend 
Not a tribe
Didn’t match the fit
Made the vibe

Tag me loud
Filter soft
Look says queen
Mood says boss 

You shop fast 
I build heat
You bought style 
I brought teeth
Wore that heartbreak like haute couture
Left my doubt on the floor

Fit on mute
Pulse on high
Heels like truth
Eyes don’t lie

Babe, it’s a vibe 
Not a mask
Didn’t come for love 
Came to bask
Not a trend 
Not a test
It’s the way I walk 
Not the dress

This isn’t fashion
It’s a language
Not an outfit
It’s advantage
They see a look
I see a fight

Babe, it’s a vibe 
It’s intent
Didn’t fake a thing 
I invent
Not a phase 
Not a type
It’s the way I breathe 
It’s the hype

It’s a vibe… it’s a vibe…

DJ MIKE LONDON - OLD SKOOL BALEARIC BEATS MIX VOL 1

Running from 1986-1992, the Boy’s Own fanzine became known as ‘the village newspaper of acid house’: celebrating, documenting, and at times mercilessly lampooning the scene as it transformed everyone from the football terrace casual to the suburban soulboy. Three decades on, Terry Farley, Pete Heller and Andrew Weatherall are among the key Boy’s Own alumni still shaping dance music today.

Listen to the exclusive, incredible, Farley & Heller ‘Boys Own Summer Of Love’ mix now.
