MIXES - Oldskool

A part of the very fabric of the UK techno scene, Dave Angel’s status as an erudite for electronic culture is not based upon hyperbole or smothered in exhausting superlatives but cemented in facts and encased in the endless memories of those who have lived, loved and danced to the astonishing output of music he has created over the years.

Born the son of a Jazz musician and elder brother to British hip-hop artist Monie Love, Dave’s path in music came to the fore during the explosion of the acid house scene in London back in the late 80’s. Hosting one of the zeitgeist shows of its time, Dave’s weekly broadcast on pirate radio station Phaze One saw him champion a new sound that was gradually captivating the youth of the country and which would later catapult him into the media spot light with notable publications like Mixmag, DJ Magazine and The Guardian all proclaiming Dave as a one of the major forces in the UK techno/acid house scene.

DJing formed a natural progression into the recording process and in 1989 after tinkering at home with a basic set-up of a keyboard and two tape decks Dave’s first attempts at production created a somewhat controversial remix of Eurhythmics ‘Sweet Dreams’, which Dave called his ‘Nightmare Mix’.

ID&T Techno 02 - CD 2

Bought this tape in the Ark shop in Leeds around 1994 I think. Always wondered who the dj was so if anyone has any info about this series of tapes I'd love to know , Some quality tunes on this

Ark Techno Cassette '94.  *Unknown DJ*

Here's a mix of what I think I played the first time I played in a club and in front of an audience.

Back in 1991/2, the rave scene in the UK was at its peek. It was a whole new generation and a movement of kids from all backgrounds, races and nationality's, who came together at weekends to dance in clubs, fields and warehouses.

The music was brand new, super fresh and exciting.

1991 was a big historic year for the rave scene in Newcastle. The mighty Rezerection party's started and were a monthly occurrence in the Mayfair club. The Nocturnal outdoor all-nighters also were occurring in Cramlington.

During this time, a weekly rave night was held in a club called Walkers in the heart of Newcastle. I was there almost every weekend, sometimes on a Friday & Saturday.

I had a pair of Soundlab belt drive turntables and every Saturday I would visit Trax Records on High Bridge Street in Newcastle to spend my weekly YTS money on new tunes ... all £35 of it ! One of the resident DJ's from Walkers (Mikey Roots) worked in the shop. He later went on to have a top ten hit with 'Negasaki' under the name Ken Doh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yemRqwIM56A

Anyway - back to Walkers. On New Years Eve 1991 I was there with the usual crowd of mates and Mikey Roots was DJ'ing. The other resident DJ hadn't turned up, so Mikey ask me and one of my mates, Olly, to play. Zoiks! 

Rob (The Robot from Rezerection) drove me home to pick up some records and we also stopped off at Olly's house to pick up a box - It took some convincing his Mam that I had come to collect records for him to play in a club, as I didn't know her !

Back at the club, I turned up with a red plastic Curver box with a selection of tunes. I'd never used Technics before and never DJ'd outside of my bedroom. I was terrified. My hands were shaking getting the first record out the sleeve and putting the needle on it. The mixing was terrible and I might of played something on 33 instead of 45. I can't remember the exact tunes I played, but it was something like what I've put together in this mix.

Trigger's Stratosphere track remains one of my favourite tunes of all time. I sampled the rumbling bass in the first track I ever made 'Cockrot': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ACEN-e_KJE

The set went down pretty well and one or two people who were there at the time still go on about hearing Everything Starts With An E.

Enjoy ....
