You can finally DOWNLOAD my bootleg remix of Technotronic 'Pump Up the Jam'...one of the tracks that was responsible for getting me into dance music as a teenager back in the early 90's - an absolutely amazing track! Hope you like my remix.. ;)

Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam (Mark Sherry Remix)

Loved this set and glad I got round to digging the tape out. Fergus always played hard trance where others stuck with the happy hardcore sound of the moment. Consequently, he was the only DJ at Pleasuredome to not play a single tune others had played ten times before him on the same night. Respect for that.  This set pretty much got me in to trance, hence the upload. Big ups!

Roy Reid is known to have the mystical Dance Factor, the fabled ability to turn an empty field into a hallowed sanctuary of rave. His humbled highness can transform a suffering venue into a holy location of extreme ‘ardcore. As the classic Indeep tune ‘Last Night A DJ Saved My life’ once proclaimed; “There aint a problem I cant fix, cause I can do it in the mix’. And no truer statement can be used to describe the legend of the decks, Ellis Dee!

The second of the Ellis Dee Project reissues to be taken on by Vinyl Fanatiks and its a personal favourite of ours. The rawness of the production, the simplicity of the structure, the awesome use of samples… this is a pure rolling hardcore gem, a diamond that shines, 27 years after its creation. Our story previously ended on the last release with Roy successfully releasing his solo debut 12” to critical acclaim after he had become the link that joined together the mighty Rhythm Section the year before. ‘Dance Factor’ continues through the year of 1992, as the raves got bigger, the music spread further, and the drugs got stronger. Three things that Ellis Dee was a first-hand witness too in every sense!

For this release Ellis Dee wanted to make something different to his previous vinyl excursion, the infamous ‘Do You Want Me/Rock To The Max’. As he put it to me “I wanted to make something a bit tougher, a bit darker, to show my versatility”. His LBC Studio was still based in Bethnal Green in the East End of London, a couple of miles up the road from where he was from, Hackney, and as per his first release, the mixdown was done in the West of the city at his bandmates house, Rennie Pilgrim. He was riding the wave of success as his first 12 had made it onto the Fantazia album ‘The First Taste’ and the tune ‘Rock To The Max’ was now something of an anthem at the Fantazia raves. The name Ellis Dee commanded respect and people drove for miles to see him at a Rave, myself included!

Feeling confident and totally submerged now into the scene and the lifestyle, Roy wanted to show his ability as a producer after the years of showing it behind the decks. Reigning from the era of Acid House where he could play Donna Summers ‘I Feel Love’ right next to Fast Eddies ‘Acid Thunder’, Roy wanted to push himself rather than emulate his previous success. ‘Dance Factor’ was also the first track that he had used an Atari ST Notator on, after watching Rennie use it on the Rhythm Section tracks. Ellis Dee loved the rawness of the sound it created and this rawness is evident on ‘Dance Factor’. As Roy told me “The Atari ST Notation was so much better for editing on than what I was using before, the Ensoniq ASR 10. It was far more user friendly and you are able to see a lot more of what’s actually going on with the track that you are making. It really helped me step up my production”.

“Things were very smoky back then” Rennie Pilgrem tells me as we get stuck into our chat. “We would down tools if we were likely to run low. Everything would stop until we managed to get some more weed. We didn’t work without it! The more we all smoked, the louder the bass would get. ‘Check Out The Bass Bass’ was the most extreme one we did. We mixed that one down while heavily stoned, adding more and more bass the more we smoked. To top it off we then went to Jah Tubby’s Studios to get it mastered and cut, where even more bass was added! That one was a bass overload!”

Rhythm Section were one of my favourite groups from the early 1990’s. They made tunes that I loved. Heavy, catchy, rave infested anthems. I remember in 1999 we as Aquasky were asked to play the opening night of Fabric and before we went on, the DJ before us was Rennie Pilgrem. We were all very excited to meet him and I think I may have bent his ear a bit too much about his rave days as I suddenly reverted to my 17 year old self, watching them from the crowd, in awe. Our paths crossed often during the heady days of the breakbeat scene in the early noughties. We even got to remix Rhythm Section under our Black Noise moniker and in turn Rennie remixed one of our tunes that we did with the Ragga Twins. 

Back in November 2003 I had been booked to play a rave called Vinyl Touch at Electrowerks and the DJ before me was Ellis Dee! Again, I was super excited to meet another of my teenage heroes. Ellis Dee, alongside DJ Ratty were my all-time favourite DJs from the rave era and I use to have their mixtapes on in my car all the time as well as booming out of my bedroom in a small village in the New Forest, much to my parents dismay and bafflement! Myself and Ellis Dee have worked together releasing his anthems from back in the day on Vinyl Fanatiks for the past year, so when Roy asked me if I would be interested in releasing any Rhythm Section records I didn’t even need to contemplate it. I bit his hand off! YES!!!!!!!!!

Rennie continues the conversation “In 2019 Roy (Ellis Dee) was telling us that he had been repressing his early music and that there was a market for unreleased music as well. So we thought ‘Let’s check our DAT tapes and see what we can find’. We all travelled down to Nick’s studio in Brighton and went through them, finding the unreleased version of ‘Perfect Love’ as well as samples and the vocal to one of the last tunes we ever did together; ‘Rhythm Takes Control’. We thought it would be nice to revisit that track and make a version of it which was more like the traditional Rhythm Section releases. When we wrote that track originally in 1993 all of us had become disinterested in the scene. At this time we weren’t sure as a band what we were into. We were experimenting with house. We didn’t like where the tempo was going in the rave scene, anything above 140BPM felt wrong. It was the end of the rave era and we never got to make a rave version of it back then. So for us to come together again after all these years and make a refix of it in a traditional 1991 Rhythm Section style was great fun”.
