25 Years of Metalheadz – Part 8

You Had To Be There

This is the long awaited and highly anticipated release from Sanxion on Remix Records. Sanxion is one of the hardest working people in the rave scene and this solo EP from him is a passion piece, and that shows. All the amazing production you would expect from Sanxion all wrapped up in the style of hardcore that he personally loves. We are so excited to have his release finally coming after the last couple of years of mayhem.

Went on a bit of a mission with this one... Started off in the wilderness with some fairly obscure mid-nineties atmospheric experimental tracks and journeyed through some dnb breakbeat workouts on into a bit of a rinse out and exited through some stormy sonics onto a higher plain of conciousness. Mixed on a Sunday evening in the Bunker on 1210s eating a cinnamon bun washed down with a cuppa... Very pleasant

Richie was already a bit of a name around his neighbourhood of Great Yarmouth thanks to his DJ skills. He started DJing when he got some decks in 1987 and it wasn’t long before he was asked to play the Caister Soul Weekenders which were held in his home town. In 1990 N’Joi were playing the event when their manager heard Richie spin and asked him to join the band as their DJ. Their manager was Mike Champion, who was actually the brother of Nigel Champion from N’Joi, and he ran a company called Midi Management which ran out of Southend. Richie was asked to join the roster of artists which brought him more work as a DJ and which gave him firsthand experience of the rise of rave music and in turn giving him the inspiration to start producing tunes himself.

The following year John got his first deal under his band name Tekniq alongside his pal Jonathan Wright. This duo would go on to have releases on Ozone Recordings, F Project, Formation, Moving Shadow and Grid, spanning over 11 years! John had a day job at this time working for an insurance company and those monthly wage packets assisted him in building his first studio, though their first two releases in 1991, which came out on Ozone, were recorded at a studio in Doncaster that the Ozone label used. The Ozone headquarters were based in Sheffield, half an hour down the road from Doncaster, though a bit of a drive from Great Yarmouth! Before they travelled up there they created some demos which got them picked up by the label and these were done locally at a studio called Purple Rain Studios. It wasn’t set up for dance music at all and was built to cater for guitar bands but they did have a Cheetah SX16 which was a budget sampler. It held 512k of sample RAM and was capable of 16 bit stereo sampling but its real crowning glory was that it could read Akai sample disks up to and including the S1000, which came in handy when finishing the tunes off in Doncaster!

Around 1992 Richie had a big breakthrough. Mike Champion was managing a band called The Prodigy and they needed a tour DJ. Richie had already proved himself by being the DJ for Mike’s brother’s band, N’Joi, so he was asked to go on tour with The Prodigy for their 1992 ‘Experience Tour’, an experience that will last with Richie forever, with stories he is unable to repeat in this interview for various reasons!!! It was after that tour in November 1992 that Liam Howlett pulled Richie aside and told him he really needed to get into the studio himself and start making some music. He wasn’t going to be told twice and immediately went over to see John (Tekniq) and called up his old pal Jay to see if he wanted to join them. By late 1992 and throughout 1993 the three of them were working together, sketching out ideas and honing their craft. 

“So, how did Spirits From An Urban Jungle form and start releasing on Whitehouse?” I wanted to know. Jay gives me the run down - “I believe it was possibly from a conversation with Peshay. He told me that Whitehouse were offering out £1000 advances for a 12”. So we decided that the three of us should get together for a weekend and see what we could come up with. And it was a proper mash-up weekend! That’s why there is a tune called ‘White Lightning’ because we went to the off license and bought a load of White Lightning cider which fueled us!”
