JUMPING JACK FROST -  HELTER SKELTER - IMAGINATION NYE 96 - 97

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!

Dr S Gachet - Seduction Volume 2 - 1994

A mix I've been meaning to do for YEARS! 

My tribute to (I think) the 2nd rave I ever went to back in 1998, as a 16 year old white kid I was absolutely terrified being inside Starlight 2001 in Leicester with all the shady characters, guns, drugs and people getting robbed but the music was amazing. The DJs always played a bit harder and the resident MCs always went in with their lyrics too; legends like Hyper D, Trigga, Bassman and Spyda would control the crowd whilst DJs like Randall, Sappo, APB & DJ SS rolled out the beats. There was no rave like Hysteria, moody, dark and the best tunes.

Here's my 2 hour tribute to the music played at Hysteria, I have dug a bit deeper than usual and picked a selection of tunes across the 97-00 period with a few different styles repped! I hope you enjoy...HEAVY LIKE A WAH!
