I sit down with Drew to discuss Cummins engines, our business, and more diesel dumb facts.

Diesel Dumb with Drew #2

During the 1980s, I spent a lot of my time riding around the British Rail network, mainly chasing Class 40s and then Class 50s, but also seeing and riding behind a number of other classes.

I made a number of tape recordings at the time - many from the front window, some from the platform - using my trusty 'ghetto-blaster' or 'boom box' - and now these recordings can finally be heard 😍)
This recording takes us back to February 1985, and one of the first Class 40 railtours after the demise of the class, the Saint Andrew which ran from Bolton to Edinburgh, with pioneer D200 / 40122 in charge - the only Class 40 remaining in service. 

The railtour, which was run by the Lancashire Locomotive Society and T & N, became rather infamous, with D200 suffering a defective boiler on a sub-zero weather day! For me though, the railtour was more memorable for the friendly Scottish driver who offered me a CAB RIDE at the start of the tour at Bolton (Trinity Street) all the way to Manchester Victoria, the main pick-up for the tour!

As I only had my pocket Dictaphone with me, the recordings I made on the day are not quite up to spec - having been converted onto a Maxell II metal tape - but atmospheric all the same!
So come back in time with me to enjoy a cab ride in classic Class 40 D200 - hope you enjoy these sounds of the 80s. Happy Days 😎)

Track list:
1)	Start - 0m 40s		we start with D200 as she runs round the stock at Bolton (Trinity Street) after arriving with 12 Mk. 1s.
2)	0m 45s - 3m 45s		and now we’re in the cab of D200 at Bolton, as the driver and secondman discuss the tour with ‘yours truly’ (who sounds like a Cockney sparrow ;) + comments on the platform staff delaying the start!
3)	3m 50s - 9m 35s		after departure, more chat between me and the driver. We can also hear the secondman going in and out of the engine room checking the boiler (which later failed!)
4)	9m 40s - 12m 50s	still in the cab of D200, the secondman comments on the huge crowd that comes into view as we approach Manchester Victoria! Meanwhile, the driver bangs out an 80s tune :)
5)	12m 55s - 13m 50s	now in the front coach, a short recording out of the window as D200 starts the attack on Miles Platting bank on full throttle 😍)
6)	13m 55s - 19m 00s	departure now from Newcastle after a two-hour delay while D200 was sent to Heaton depot where fitters tried but failed to fix the broken boiler!
7)	19m 05s - 23m 35s	finally, on a bitterly cold night, we depart Edinburgh Waverley on the return working, heading for Carlisle (after awful ‘Duff’ 47519 had been removed from the local Edinburgh part of the railtour).

He grew up on the music of the nineties, loves vinyls and is still expanding his collection of breakbeat and styles close to him.
The turning point for his love of breakbeat was Adam Freeland's performance in Prague's Roxy.
And then everything was clear .. :-)
He played his sets in legendary Prague clubs (Roxy, Cross Club, Chapeau Rouge, Meat Factory, XT3, PUNTO) but also at festivals (Metronome, Mighty Sounds, etc ..), he has a large number of performances alongside legends of the genre, such as such as Drumattic Twins, Elite Force, Sister Bliss, or Uncle, to name a few.
The sound of his sets is usually sharply broken and you will find a lot of dance and pop motifs in it, they often grind into the realms of electro, oak, hip hop but also other styles. He likes to play from records, but digital is no stranger to him either, his own studio is riddled with hardware for his own production, which he currently releases on the UK label Diesel Recordings, Perennial Recording Networks but also on the Us label One7Audio and the Slovak Breaks.sk.
Several of his releases have been placed in the Beatport charts, namely 3x Top100BreaksTracks and 3x in Top100BreaksReleases, or they have also been included in electronic compilations .. Best New Break November 20, BassBreakBeats, Electro Vibes and Breakbeat Warriors.
His other activities was include his own music show ELECTROMIC SESSION on NSB_Radio / Uk, which you can tune in every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month 17:00 (UK) / 18:00 (CZ). and you can also find the show at www.soundcloud.com/djelectrom. Now newly DIESEL POWER ON CUTTERS CHOICE RADIO WITH BASSICA :..
Electrom / Cz.
Vyrostl na hudbě devadesátých let, miluje vinyly a stále rozšiřuje svou sbírku breakbeatu a stylů mu blízkých.
Zlomovým bodem pro jeho lásku k breakbeatu bylo vystoupení Adama Freelanda v Pražské Roxy.
A pak už bylo vše jasné .. :-)
Své sety hrál v legendárních Pražských klubech (Roxy, Cross Club, Chapeau Rouge, Meat Factory, XT3, PUNTO) ale také na festivalech (Metronome, Mighty Sounds aj.. ), má za sebou i velké množství vystoupení po boku legend žánru, jako jsou například Drumattic Twins , Elite Force , Sister Bliss, nebo Uncle, abychom jmenovali alespoň některé z nich.
Zvuk jeho setů je bývá ostře zlomený a najdete v něm spoustu tanečních a popových motivů, nezřídka zabrousí do sfér electra, dubu, hip hopu ale i jiných stylů. Nejradši hraje z desek ale ani digitál mu není cizí, jeho vlastní studio je prošpikované hardwarem pro jeho vlastní produkci, kterou aktuálně také vydává na Uk labelu Diesel Recordings, Perennial Recording Networks ale také na Us labelu One7Audio a slovenském Breaks.sk.
Několik jeho releasů se umístilo v žebříčcích na Beatportu, a to 3x Top100BreaksTracks a 3x v Top100BreaksReleases a nebo také byli zařazeny do elektronických kompilací .. Best New Break November 20, BassBreakBeats, Electro Vibes a Breakbeat Warriors.
Mezi jeho další aktivity patří vlastní hudební pořad ELECTROMIC SESSION na NSB_Radio / Uk, který můžete naladit každou 1. a 3. Neděli v měsíci 17:00 (UK) / 18:00 (CZ). a rchiv pořadu najdete také na www.soundcloud.com/djelectrom
