basics 30

back to basics 30 - just when I thought I was out...

My first mix of the year is a love letter to one of, if not my favourite record label of all time, Strictly Rhythm.

The first record I ever played on my first pair of decks (Pro 150 belt drives) was Underground Solution - Luv Dancin', which is also the first track on this mix, though admittedly not that version. I don't know exactly what it was that drew me to Strictly but it became pretty much buy on sight, which had its own problems as no two releases were the same back then, it was all over the place.

This mix features a few you will most definitely know and a few you probably don't. I am pretty sure this will be volume one of a few but for now get stuck in to this one.

Wild Pitch, I think I love you......

Simon DK - “Float Laboratory” (1994)
After hearing the news of Simons passing and remembering with friends the subject of a certain mixtape came up …we all searched our boxes of cassettes without much luck and some empty cases …however Pete Slotter discovered and found what might well be the only existing copy …and as luck would have it the original tape!
Recorded at Simon DK's flat in Nottingham after the after party on a DiY Bounce night in 1994 after Bath crew John Kesecki & Pete Slotter went back to his and asked him to make a tape, which he did and named it 'Float Laboratory'. 
It's a lovely pitched down mix perfectly capturing those early hours.
It was brought down to Bath - copied and played ALOT!!. It was one of those tapes that just did the rounds and was loved by many…
So it was only right at this time to immortalise it and make it available for you to enjoy again or hear it for the first time...
Rest in peace & power the genius that is Simon DK Smith

It's exactly what it feels like when inviting some friends over and having a little gathering: a house party. Laid-back, fun and unpretentious. For your listening pleasure.
