1990, or was it 1991?  The first hour of this is probably more akin to what was played at the Warehouse in Leeds in those years, but the mix could have just as easily been called Ricky's or the Gallery or named after any other club in the North of England for that matter.  The Warehouse was the first club I went to though and its a tribute to how blown away I was as soon as I'd blagged my way in saying I'd lost my mates, even though I looked about 12.  Those nights, and Boy Wonder especially were very special indeed.

Here's my mix of some of my favourite Jenkins Lane Raindance rave classics from 1988-1991.
Over an hour of vinyl only tunes from in my opinion the best years on the rave spectrum and fond memories the Raindance Crew at Jenkins Lane Barking London.  Please be aware I own all of these records, some are over 30 plus years old and have been played thousands of times so some clarity may have gone. 
This is for those who were there in warehouses, fields and big tops as I was, and those that can only wish they were there.
Part 2 is out NOW check it out .
Please enjoy, feel free to comment.  Phill

1988-1991 RAINDANCE RAVE CLASSICS. VINYL ONLY. MIXED BY PHILL LEGGATT

Nick Handle - The Chariot VII (Eze Drill remix) (1)

Dirty Notes returns with its fifth release “Love Lane” EP — a deep, hypnotic excursion from UK producer Astro Dime under his RODIME alias. Stripped-back and groove-driven, this release distills the essence of the underground into four immersive cuts built for intimate floors and late-night spaces.

Across the EP, RODIME weaves together deep crisp minimal percussions with a careful balance between precision and raw energy. The result is Love Lane: a record that captures both restraint and release, intensity and flow.

Already championed by Voigtmann, Josh Baker, and key figures from the You&Me collective, the EP has found early rotation across the UK minimal circuit including recent plays at Fabric, London. With heavyweight support from Jamie Jones, Paco Osuna, Joseph Capriati, Arapu, Max Dean, House Six, Locklead, and Marsolo, Love Lane is quickly cementing itself as a late-night essential.

Dirty Notes continues to carve out its identity with each release understated, functional, and full of groove. This fifth chapter reinforces the label’s focus on timeless club tools with soul, delivered through Astro Dime’s analog-driven aesthetic and deep attention to sonic detail.

House Funkin' 2

think this was first time i had witnessed Graeme play live, what a great night in the music factory here in Leeds

graeme park dec 92 @ Up Yer Ronson

Hey, Gareth here, I'm a graphic designer who start designing for clubs, parties, and labels in the late 90s. Back then, mix CDs were the holy grail of both design and music. I loved them.

But I wasn't the only one, mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties and lives, for everyone. Yet in today's internet age, the art form has been lost (or just changed) to 2-3 hour online mixes and streaming videos, which just don't create the same magic your CD collection did. Just 60 minutes of music and incredible artwork.

The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

Also, we try to help you find and buy them again by sharing Discogs links on all featured CDs and or direct links to labels where possible.

* We fully support labels and artists. If any disc creates a copyrighting issue let me know and it will be immediately removed.

About Gareth:
Digital creative type, gamer, music lover and occasional DJ. Currently living between Dubai & Seoul after setting sail from Sunderland in 2010. As a young designer, club and music culture was the driving force for his work, producing artwork for local club nights and record labels in the North East of England. In particular, DJ mix cds and their packaging were always his 'holy grail of design', especially those from Renaissance, Global Underground and Good Looking Records. It's a pleasure to share these discs back with people and they still influence our tastes to this day.
