Remix of one of my favourite tunes off the first ever piece of vinyl that I bought....

808 State - In Yer Face (Simon Harris 2011 Remix)

Back in 2001, every Saturday night, myself and a good friend DJ Virus (https://soundcloud.com/adamdjvirus), used to fool in the studio I had in my moms basement.  This was a hardware based studio back in the day and all this was done while we ate our traditional spicy spaghetti!  Think spaghetti with a whole bag of chili powder added into the sauce!  Damn that was hot stuff!!

At the time this track was finished, Luna-C of Kniteforce was asking for track submissions, for a possible release on the label, which was going to focus on the older sounds, once again.  This track, along with 2 others, was recorded onto tape and mailed out to Lunca-C for evaluation.  I never did think anything would come of it, but Chris did email me telling me he appreciated my submission, did give a full listen to all my tracks and said he really liked what he heard, however, the sound was 'too old' in terms of what he was looking for.  He said if these were given to him back in the day, he certainly would have passed them off to Seduction for evalution for his Impact label.  This was great to hear, as Seduction and the Impact label was among my favourites, for the 92 sound!

Needless to say, this stuff got shelved after this and nothing was ever done with it.  I have come across the DAT and ripped it, so am putting it up here, presented in all its rough around the edges glory!  No mastering was done at all and this was mixed from the outputs of my sampler, directly through my Mackie desk I had at the time.

Kit used:

Cubase VST 5.0
Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 5
E-MU E5000 sampler, fully loaded
Lexicon MPX100 effects unit
Alesis 3630 compressor
Mackie CR1604 VLZ Mixer
Tannoy Active Reveals
Echo Audio Layla20
Fostex D5 DAT recorder

A little piece of my history I was glad to find!  I no longer have the original arrangement, or samples, so this is as pure as it gets, as it is the only copy I have left!

There isn't much to this track I know, but hopefully someone out there can get some enjoyment from it!  Thanks for listening and of course, all comments are welcome, not that I could do much to change anything, with the track being 13 years old and forever lost!   ;)

When Sam Gordon was 7 years old he fell in love with vinyl. He can recall the very first time he went into a record shop at that age “I really loved Herbie Hancock’s tune ‘Rockit’ which was released when I was 7 and I have this vivid memory of my mum taking me into Our Price in Bromley and as I was so small, she had to lift me up at the counter so I could ask the shop assistant for it” It was this shopping trip that got a young Sam hooked on music and those electro beats of Herbie Hancock stuck in his head throughout his formative years. By the time he was 15 he first started producing – “Me and my mates were messing about with the UK hip hop and early house sound we were inspired by, just sampling loads and rapping over fast hip hop beats and hardcore sounds. This would have been 1991. I had a keyboard with 3 seconds of sample time on it, which meant you could only sample one element at a time, loop it and bounce our ideas down onto a 4-track. Our little crew was called ‘Youts On The Run’ which was a reference to the experiences we had growing up in 80’s and 90’s South East London where we were constantly looking over our shoulder. Our lyrics spoke about these experiences and the music drew on the melting pot of influences that were starting to converge into the UK hardcore/early jungle scene. The Group consisted of me as MC Firefly, a mate Lee who went by DJ Frontline and handled the musical side with me and two others; Kevin “Mad X” and Dene “Iron I”. Firefly was a short lived alias as I soon changed my name to DJ Shocker, leaving the mic behind and getting on the decks instead. And then not long after that I became Missing. These name changes all happened within a two year period!”. It wasn’t long before ‘Youts on The Run’ sent off a few demos and had a phone call from one label, Gangster Records, who released tracks by a UK hip hop group Dominant Force. The label boss liked their ideas and spoke about getting them in the studio but nothing came of it and the other band members lost interest but Sam definitely had the bug!

Sam continues –“By the time I was 17 I was really keen to get into a proper studio but back then it wasn’t easy to make music like it is today where practically anyone could access a DAW; and this was pre- internet so definitely no YouTube tutorials on how to chop an amen! These were the days of analogue studios and they weren’t cheap to rent. I was at Orpington College in Kent studying for A levels and a fellow student Ian, DJ Kingsize who was a DJ on Defection FM at the time, told me about a studio he had used for a demo track in Mottingham (also in South East London), run by a guy called Martin. He was in his 50’s and a chain-smoking Yorkshireman who liked his pints. He knew nothing about jungle but he charged a reasonable fee for a day’s session, about £100, and was a nice bloke and mostly a patient engineer when being asked to try all kinds of mad edits! He had a fairly basic set up with a Roland JV1080, a Mackie 24 channel desk, an Akai S1000 that was upgraded, so had about a minutes sample time, an Atari ST running the same cracked copy of Cubase everyone seemed to have and a few sample CDs. So when it came to my 18th Birthday and my parents asked me what I wanted, I asked for a day’s studio session”. His parents kindly agreed to his request, as they could see how much enthusiasm their son had for music, and a day’s studio hire was secured.

Hi I'm Simon Harris, no not that one, but the one that's "famous" for a really badly produced old skool record released in 1992 on Bhive Records - Logical Beats EP, http://www.discogs.com/Simon-Harris-Logical-Beats/release/314179  have had another piece of vinyl released on Paranoid Recordings in January 2011 (go buy it!)

Only just got back into producing the old skool rave sound in the last couple of years think I must be having a mid life crisis,I have all the signs, a car thats way too fast, a rapidly expanding waistline, wonderful kids that live with the ex, drink and smoke far too much for someone of my age and now really love listening to the same type of music I used to listen to as a teenager..........

Just to confirm I am not Simon Harris as in Bass How Low Can you Go. Simon Harris is the name that I was born with and my record label in 1992 made me use it so as to confuse people and get some more copies sold. It still confuses people to this day!
