Simon Bassline Smith -Phoenix Studio Line - Tape 2 - 1993

A rare tape from the legendary Rage at Heaven. I've only currently been able to salvage the B side of the tape i have. This is the end of the Shades Of Rhythm Live PA and then some Fabio & Grooverider. This pre-dates The Sound Of Eden 12" being released so is probably early summer 1991.

Tracklisting (To come)

Shades Of Rhythm Live PA / Fabio & Grooverider - Live @ Rage - Summer 1991

Something a bit different from me! A label that I've been meaning to do a deep dive on for some time, finally got the chance to sort my records and CDs and start a 2 part look at the awesome, forward thinking and downright jazzy New Identity Records! A Formation label started in 1996 by DJ SS, the label is still going today with a look at the deeper, jazzier, off the wall style of D&B. 

Here's a look at the jazzier 96/97 stuff. Will do a part 2 looking at more 97-2002 and the darker, techier sounds at some point...

G.E. Real - Diehard - 27th May 1994

Here's part 1 of my deep dive into one of my favourite D&B labels of all time, Back 2 Basics! Set up by JB aka Jason Ball in 1993, the label would run to 2008 with nearly 100 vinyl releases and more albums, mix CDs etc. Being a midlands lad myself I have grown up with this label and bought everything I could 96 onwards. 

The label released music from JB, Spice, Dred Bass, Twisted Individual, Decoder, Ascend, Ned Ryder and loads more and was a really important part of my teenage years as a DJ and raver! Enjoy this look into their 94/95 releases...
