To celebrate our 30th episode, we are very honoured to get a recommendation from a Dj that’s played a huge part in the house music scene for over 20 years and someone who’s had a massive influence on myself, house heads around the world, and the CD’s that we feature on this site

After a famous trip to ibiza in the late 80’s… Danny set up his legendary Shoom night in London, which kicked off the rave and acid house scene in the UK. He’s helped cement house music culture in Ibiza, being a key figure in it’s growth on the island. But many know Danny through his radio shows… where he started out at Kiss FM and went onto lead radio one's weekend roster alongside Pete Tong. His Love Groove Dance Party show was the soundtrack to many people's saturday nights and I speak on behalf of thousands, to say it was an pleasure and an education to tune in each and every weekend.

He's had countless mix cd's over the years, some of which we've already featured on the site. But today, he's recommended the Decade of Dance CD, mixed by himself and released on Circa records in 1999. As it represents his favourite tracks throughout the 90's and is full of the gorgeous vocals and feel good house music Danny is know for.

So thanks again for everything Mr. Rampling. We really can't thank you enough for giving us all the amazing music and memories over the years.

Turn it up… and enjoy the mix

031 - Danny Rampling - Decade of Dance - Disc 2 (1999)

A journey through 35 years of house from the godfather of UK rave. 

In popular mythology, the '90s are without question, the halcyon days of dance music—an era of free raves and unadulterated hedonism. It's a myth that Matthew Nelson, AKA Slipmatt, knows better than most–he was there. 

During the late '80s, as the rave scene in the UK began to boom, Nelson began moonlighting as a DJ. He would land his first residency at Raindance, the East London rave that launched in September 1989 and would become the UK's first legal rave. By 1991 , he'd reach number two in the UK charts with "On A Ragga Tip" as one-half of SL2 and two years later, sell over 10,000 copies of the first pressing of SMD#1.

Nelson has got a lot to share (as you'll see in his interview) so we'll let him do the talking. He's been variously called the godfather of rave and happy hardcore, but what you'll hear on RA.958 is as "a journey through my 35 years of house." A DJ with this much pedigree brings much more than that, of course: touching on the breakbeat, jungle and acid house that soundtracked that golden age, as well as nods to the rich cross-pollination with scenes beyond the UK, from Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash" to Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You."

I'm very honoured to bring you a recording of a live Nicky Holloway set way back from '88, which I believe is from a night called 'Devil May trip'.
The night was a collaboration between Nicky's 'Trip' night which he ran at The Astoria, and group of guy's who ran some amazing parties around the Uxbridge/Bucks area west of London around that time and before with their nights called 'Devil May Care'.

The tape is a real insight to the summer of '88, and personally my mind was officially blown the first night I walked into Trip at the Astoria, and was officially obsessed from there on in (like so many others).

This tape was kindly passed on to me for uploading by George Georgiou as   featured recently on his Instagram page. 
Originally recorded by Nicky H for George back in '88 following persistent nagging by George back at the time, and recently rediscovered amongst a crate of cassette tapes. 
'A reminder of some blinders' was one of Nicky's fave strap lines for his flyers, as he used to tell George. 

George has designed artworks for so many legendary clubs/nights which include Trip, Sin, Shoom, Special Branch, The Milk Bar, RAW & Velvet Underground to name just a few! 
As Dave Dorrell once said..."George Georgiou's unmistakable art - bold, minimal, primary - splashes electrically through London's nightlife story".

*Please note at 46.34 mins the A-side finishes, & B-side begins...hence the gap.

On a personal note, I would like to thank George for trusting me with this tape. I was a member at Trip, Sin & went to many a Nicky Holloway party way back before the acid house explosion hit these shores, with his 'Doo's' nights' and numerous times seeing him play at Eddie Gordon's Slammer party's in an old rough biker pub (Red Lion), playing alongside Pete Tong, Dave Dorrell & Giles Peterson (downstairs) before they hit the big time, all in a run down industrial part of North Kent circa mid 80's...happy sweaty days. 

Hope you enjoy this 'trip' down hazy memory lane!
Seanie R, & George Georgiou

Speed Garage Mixed By Serious Danger

513 - Ministry pre. Speed Garage mixed By Serious Danger

Did this mix today to get into the mood for Acid House Experience.
On a night out in the late 80s you'd hear every kind of electronic dance music from vocal NYC Garage to Chicago House to Detroit Techno to UK Acid House to Belgium Nu-Beat to Electro. The music was diverse. The experience was Acid House. 
Here's a link to the event this coming Saturday 14th October in London: https://www.facebook.com/events/1493694830958654/
