Scott Bradford (Shindig/Lexicon Avenue) recommends 'Back to Basics - Cut the Crap - Disc 3 mixed by Ralph Lawson' (1996).

We've got a special recommendation to celebrate our 40th episode of the classic mix CD series from Scott Bradford, who of course is, known for being behind, one of the longest running and most influential club nights in the UK, Shindig in Newcastle. Which amazingly kicked off in 1992 and is now stronger than ever with sell out parties every month at their new home, Warehouse 34. Scott is also well known for his Lexicon Avenue productions and Forensic Records label and has generally been a legend bringing house music’s finest to everyone for over 20 years.

He’s recommended disc 3 from back to Basics ‘cut the crap’ CD, which  features mixes from Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, and this mix from Ralph Lawson. Now Considering it came out in 1996 that’s a ridiculously good shout  So Thanks for sharing it with us Scott, it’s much appreciated and here’s hoping for another great 20 odd years for Shindig, yourself and all the gang . So Turn it up and enjoy the mix!

040 - Back to Basics 'Cut the Crap' - Ralph Lawson / Disc 3 (1996)

Recorded Friday the 11th of June 2022 at the Ministry of Sound Testament: A Warehouse Experience - Its live, its a little loose, but this set really captures the energy, spirit and vibe of one of my rave DJ sets back in Sydney in the early 90's. I loved the early piano rave tracks, when you dropped them, the dance floor went mental, hands in the air, everyone on the same buzz, all loved up, euphoric and totally mad for it. 
For those fortunate enough to have been there I hope it takes you right back and for those that weren’t here's a little taste, close your eyes, hands in the air, rave on :)

806 - Essential Millennium - Pete Tong - Disc 1 (1999)

American DJ, record producer, and remixer, born 18 January 1955 in South Bronx, New York City, New York, USA, died 31 March 2014 in Chicago, Illinois, USA..
He was the Dj from 1977 to 1982 at the Warehouse. It is widely accepted that his style of DJing and his selection and the appeal of the Warehouse gave house music its name, although in the beginning, the word 'house' was used only in Chicago to denote something which was cool, hip, fresh or bad. Frankie Knuckles had been long time friends with Larry Levan, they had had their musical upbringing together from going to clubs like Loft and the Gallery.

JDJ International 03 - Dimitri

680 - Dimitri 'The Spiritual Mix - Journeys BY DJ International (1994)

I’m a London based DJ who got into House music right at the beginning in the mid 80’s and was initially involved in the Rave scene up until 1992 when the scene became a bit moody and the music got darker.
A trip to Ibiza in 92 turned out to be a real inspiration, the Clubs and the music were just what I was looking for and the Rave scene was left behind and a new era of House and Clubbing began.
I’ve played most genres of House over the last 35 years with a swing towards the Deeper and more Soulful side of House in the last couple of years although good Progressive/Melodic House still grabs my attention!
Most Mixes are Vinyl and played through an analog mixer keeping the sound warm and rich! 🎶
Hope you enjoy! 
Rust-E 🎶❤️
