DJ Ellis Dee Feat. MC MC - Fantazia The Big Bang 27th November 1993

Top Buzz - Helter Skelter - 1993

The 'Godfather Of Hardcore' was a key figure in the development of the happy hardcore sound and one of my favourite DJ's. In my opinion SMD#1 was the first real happy hardcore record when the genre split into two around 1993, Happy Hardcore & Jungle/Drum & Bass.  Aswell as launching labels such as Awesome Records, Universal Records & Benz Records, he also produced some of the finest anthems and remixes of mid 90's. Slipmatt is a true legend of the scene and deserves his place in the hardcore hall of fame.

The live sample I've used at the beginning is taken from his set at 'Helter Skelter - The Past, Present And The Future' 14/4/95.

On the eve of the date that Murray Beetson passed away 16 years ago, the man who created Dreamscape and made it the legend that it still is, I thought I'd upload one of my favourite Dreamscape sets... RIP Murray, never forgotten!

Dj Sy & MC "Scratchmaster" Techno - Obsession (Concept Club) 14.05.93

March 1992 to June 1997, Bristol.

By Neil Clark – Sutra promoter & artist bookings.

At the time Sutra events were Bristol's biggest dance parties, no other club night in Bristol could offer a 1,500 to 2,500 capacity event with 4 or 5 rooms of dance music. Based at the University of the West of England (UWE) and run by the events team there; the music policy was varied, catering for the full range of styles from house, techno, jungle, drum ‘n’ bass, happy hardcore and even ambient.

Sutra's first event took place in March 92 with SL2 & Slipmatt headlining, by its the third event in October '92 with Carl Cox, Sutra had established itself as a key event in Bristol’s dance music calendar. The largest Sutra event was its first birthday party for nearly 2,500 people with the likes of Ellis D, Ratty, Dougal, Dave Angel & John Kelly.

A lot of inspiration was taken from Vibes Alive (its predecessor), the Universe events, the free party scene and Bristol’s club culture. I like to think that Sutra's were a like a miniature Universe event, I used contacts from the Universe parties such as dancers, stilt walkers and Rob from Universe would provide his inflatable stars for the outdoor marquee. We always tried to make it a real show with great visuals, lights and décor as well as top DJs, MCs and live performances.

We also used a lot of DJs and MCs from the Bristol scene such as Jody, MC/DJ Ribbs, Producer, Mach One, Vinyl Junkie, Die, Roni Size, Joe Peng, Jack Horner, Daddy G and Nick Warren.

Maybe the key to success of the events was a big student involvement in the nights, playing their part as resident DJs, dancers and the promotions team (aka the Sutra Crew), for many it was the highlight of their time spent in Bristol.

In ’94, Sutra began a mid week monthly house night called House of Sutra in a massive club in the centre of Bristol. Which saw packed nights with DJ legends Pau Oakenfold, Danny Rampling, Carl Cox (house set) and from the US David Morales & Frankie Knuckles and many more. House of Sutra further established Sutra events as a key part of Bristol’s dance music scene.

Some nice things MixMag said about Sutra:

“How many midweek clubs can boast to be housed in a 1900 capacity venue and continually pull massive crowds” Mixmag – October ‘95

“The Sutra boys (and girls) can’t put a foot wrong at present” Mixmag November ‘95

There’s Facebook group for those with happy memories of the Sutra events, come and join us at:

Slipmatt & SY @ Sutra (Bristol) '94

Godfather’, ‘Legend’, ‘International Hero’. All accolades attributed by loving fans Worldwide to the DJ, Producer and scene pioneer known as ‘Slipmatt’. For over three decades, this dubplate diamond has been changing the game, staying on the pulse and keeping ahead of the curve, packing dancefloors and selling out clubs long before it was cool and still does so to this very day.
  
Having produced a ton of successful singles and compiled a number of hit selling mix albums under his ‘Slipmatt’ alias for some of the World’s most respected record labels including United Dance and Ministry Of Sound, ‘Slipmatt’ is also one of the masterminds behind legendary production outfit SL2 (along with Lime and MC Jay), the visionaries responsible for the chart smashing anthems ‘On A Ragga Tip’ & ‘Way In My Brain’ among many others on the iconic label XL Recordings, home to legendary acts such as ‘The Prodigy’, ‘Basement Jaxx’; and ‘Adele’. 

‘On A Ragga Tip’ is presently enjoying a resurgence of popularity as it goes on the current Virgin Media TV ad as part of their Un-Limiting adverts which includes the new ‘On A Ragga Tip’ Un-Limiting Remix, which has equally proved as popular as ever with dancefloors around the globe and this year alone is scheduled  to collaborate in the studio with Shades Of Rhythm, Andy Galea of Sol Brothers, Alex P, Awesome 3, Alexis Raphael, Sooney and, his good friend DJ Lime with some brand new SL2 releases also in the pipeline.

This wayward don of dance has also played at every major dance event and venue worth knowing about over the years including Energy, Telepathy, Fantazia, Vision, Universe, World Dance, United Dance, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Slammin’ Vinyl, Rezurrection, Elevation, Moondance, Raindance, Peace Fest, Clockwork Orange and to top it all off had the great honour of playing directly after his good friends ‘The Prodigy’ to a packed O2 Arena of over 20, 000 people, bringing that particular night to an epic close, and ringing in the year 2014 with a tremendous bang.

‘Slipmatt’ also repeatedly continues to play across the globe in the USA, Asia, Australia, Europe and every corner of his native UK for a string of well recognised and well attended club promotions, festivals and events. He’s no stranger to a Festival or two either playing at leading big top gigs such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and We Are Festival and there has also been and continues to be multiple overseas visits to Ibiza where Slipmatt still to this day enjoys regular return trips to the White Isle’s most infamous hot spots to play such as Eden, Es Paradis and Benimussa Park (The Zoo) 

His media outreach is quite noteworthy also, having started RAW FM, been a resident on Kiss FM, a regular in M8 Magazine and Mixmag, featured in the illustrious DJ Magazine Top 100, he’s been on BBC television a number of times including the famous chart show ‘Top Of The Pops’, runs two of his own popular Radio shows and Podcasts ‘World Of Rave’ and ‘Slip’s House’ and additionally, has won a multitude of awards, including that of ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Producer’ awarded by some of the industries most respected bodies such as Kiss FM and EHM.

Not one to ever slow down or fall behind and always keeping himself fresh and relevant, this dancefloor don has been focusing lately on the biggest and best house beats, which has led him to an already extraordinarily busy 2020. Add to that his upcoming book “My Story (and How I Became a World Class DJ)”, which is set to be a smash hit amongst rave fanatics the World over later this year and with over a hundred gigs booked for 2020 already (mid-Feb), there are no signs of this crowd pleasing international artist slowing down any time soon. 

Godfather Of Rave and still keeping it fresh? Definitely.
