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 :)

Soak @ Warehouse, Leeds - 18th June 1991 (Retake)

1990, or was it 1991?  The first hour of this is probably more akin to what was played at the Warehouse in Leeds in those years, but the mix could have just as easily been called Ricky's or the Gallery or named after any other club in the North of England for that matter.  The Warehouse was the first club I went to though and its a tribute to how blown away I was as soon as I'd blagged my way in saying I'd lost my mates, even though I looked about 12.  Those nights, and Boy Wonder especially were very special indeed.

Allister Whitehead's Return To Shine

With Allister coming back to The Hacienda for the Christmas party at Sankeys on 27/12/16 which sees some eight of the clubs original residents reunited, here with a very special mix which puts together the set he performed back in November 1991 on the first night of his Shine residency,

Following The Hacienda's re-opening in 1990, Shine was the Friday night replacement to the long running Nude and saw Mike Pickering and Russ take charge of the night alongside special guests who included the likes of Todd Terry, K Klass, Sasha and more. 

About the opportunity,  Allister comments;

"I was asked by Mike Pickering in 1991 to cover for him at ’Shine’  on Friday’s  while he was touring and recording with M-People. Not many DJ’s got the chance to play the Hacienda, it was like being asked to play for England!   Obviously, things went well for Mike and I became resident from 1992 - 93 on Friday’s at Shine and I did Tuesday’s as well for a while.  We had some great guests (Todd Terry, Kevin Sanderson etc...) and some special nights, including a few of the infamous foam parties, which were amazing and pretty close to the incredible Nude nights back in 88/89. To play the Hacienda at full pelt was a rare thing for a DJ apart from Graeme and Mike and has provided memories I will treasure all my life. Thanks must go to Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, Peter Hook and Ang Matthews."

Dusting down and digitising the same set from that night, Allister pulls together a number of the tunes that characterised The Hacienda in late 1991 including US club hit Brother Makes 3 to open. Union City Recording's hit Mombassa "Cry Freedom" follows up whilst the mix also includes carat gold classics, Denise Lopez's "Dont You Wanna Be Mine", Rusty "Everything's Gonna Change" and the Sasha remix of Jimi Polo's "Better Days".

Mark Holliday - Back to '89

Back to Love (Athenaeum, Hacienda & Home Nightclub Classics)(Part 3 - The Hacienda 1993) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (February 2021)
 
Finishing my trilogy of nostalgic nights at the grand daddy of all Manchester night clubs, the legendary 'Hacienda'.
 
I never got to DJ at the Hacienda (well once at a private function downstairs in the 'Gay Traitor' does that count?) But let's face it when you have Russ Marland & Mike Pickering on a Friday and the legendary partnership of Tom Wainwright & Graeme Park on a Saturday the only place you ever wanted to be in the Hacienda was on the dancefloor! I missed the early years as I was only a puppy in short trousers when it opened so I started going in 1992, but for me it was 1993-1995 that really stood out as the ultimate Hacienda years. The music, the atmosphere, Tom & Graeme working the night, it was just magical. I remember one night being stood outside were those huge fire doors and you could hear those David Morales 'Def Mix' deep basslines coming from inside, it was like a cathedral of sound... There will never be another like it.
 
This mix features the sounds and tracks that I loved and were played there in 1993. It's not necessarily the big anthems but for me personally every record just encapsulates the sound that was 'The Hacienda'. Hopefully it will transport you back to an imaginary 1993 night at the corner of 'Whitworth Street, Manchester'.
