There was a time when New Beat could've taken over but I guess it was just too dark and underground.

Richard, I'm really impressed with these retakes. I might have some interesting Dutch early 90's mixtape to share that literally nobody has. If you're interested, let me know and I can share it :)

Nice one Gilly, its been a while since i bought tunes at your shop, any vinyl for sale , Andy from Keighley hijacking my lads SoundCloud account

This track by Lhasa (The Attic) is such a gem. I read the artist actually didn't want to continue making music as the business was toxic. A shame, as they were clearly very talented artists.

I was 16 and this was my first Kaos. Was like a different planet. I remember waking in and La Tour - People are still having sex was playing. My mind was blown. Crazy times, and the first of dozens of Kaos, Soak’s and Arks and a life long love of dance music 🙌

Classic Sets - Retakes

After i did the retake of one of my favourite Kaos tapes from the Warehouse in Leeds.

https://soundcloud.com/richard-gill/kaos-leeds-warehouse-27th-may-1991tape-1-retake?in=richard-gill/sets/classic-sets-retakes

I decided that this tape also needed redoing. In my opinion it is one of the best put together sets from when Soak first started and the music was more US house lead. There is some great, long forgotten classics on here. 

Again some of the mixes were a bit rough, where beats were clashing etc but the main issue was the sound quality. Anyone who knows this tape will know that the recorded master on the night was distorted and pretty much ruined it.

Like the Kaos retake, i have mixed it pretty much exactly the same, volumes, placements etc but a lot tighter than the original. 

I think the tape is mainly Sasha & Mike Pickering

Once again enjoy :)

056 - Havin'It Classics vol. 2 mixed by Trevor Fung (1995)

This is the first time that myself and Kelvin had revisited the club night that went on to morph into Golden in our hometown of Stoke-On-Trent.

Back 2 Back all night half hour sets, we tried to be as authentic as we could music wise and the general vibe of what made it so special over 30 years ago!

Overworked (US) - Silly One

Esse EP ficou na minha cabeça por mais de cinco anos. A primeira faixa que fiz dentro dessa ideia foi Auto da Compadecida, lançada em 2020, que sampleia a trilha do filme. Desde então, venho pensando nisso, ouvindo, pesquisando, testando e tentando achar um som que fizesse sentido.

Bailão de Dois junta elementos da música nordestina com beats eletrônicos. O nome vem da ideia do prato mesmo — baião de dois — que mistura duas bases diferentes num negócio só. Foi isso que tentei fazer aqui também: cruzar gêneros e referências musicais em cada faixa do EP.

E a artwork do EP nasceu num processo junto com minha namorada, que é de Teresina. Fizemos um brainstorming com referências do Nordeste, tanto do senso comum quanto das versões mais atuais. Depois, comecei a traduzir tudo isso em imagem, criando várias versões com cenários cheios de elementos, mas nenhuma parecia certa. Aos poucos fui limpando tudo, até chegar numa composição mais minimalista, com um cacto humanóide no centro — meio surreal, meio simbólico, direto ao ponto, como o som do EP.

Buarky – Bailão de Dois

This EP has been on my mind for over five years. The first track I made from this idea was Auto da Compadecida, released in 2020, sampling the film’s soundtrack. Since then, I’ve been thinking about it, listening, researching, testing, and trying to find a sound that made sense.

Bailão de Dois brings together elements of Northeastern Brazilian music with electronic beats. The name comes from the dish itself — baião de dois — which mixes two different basics into one. That’s what I tried to do here too: crossing genres and musical references on every track of the EP.

The artwork came from a process with my girlfriend, who’s from Teresina. We brainstormed references from the Northeast, both common and more current. Then I started translating all that into visuals, creating several versions with busy scenes, but nothing felt right. Gradually, I stripped it down to a more minimal composition, with a humanoid cactus in the center — somewhat surreal, symbolic, and straight to the point, like the sound of the EP.

Sunrise 1989

This is one of my favourite tapes from the Kaos nights @ Leeds Warehouse back in 1991. Anyone who knows this mix will probably agree that the tunes were amazing, tune selection great but some of the mixing was a little sketchy...... :)

Well after finding all the tracks, searching for 27 years, i have finally done a full retake of the tape. I have kept it as close to the original as possible, copying nearly all of the mixes exactly, apart from a few where they went out of bar.

The quality obviously makes this more enjoyable as some of the recordings back then weren't the best. 

I think all the mixes were done by Steve Williams and Mike Pickering on the night, not sure about Sasha. 

Enjoy :-)
