In It Together Records On Select #329 AFTERS

A collection of my favourite tunes that I played in the basement at the 4 Aces at Club Labrynth, during my residency in 93 and 94.  It was my first residency at Dalston Lane, where as a teen I learned to read a crowd and craft sets that  were a journey over the two hours I was usually given.  My taste was often deep and progrsssive with the odd vocal track.  93' was my favourite ever year for music, as progressive exploded into the scene and took house music to a whiole new level.  

That little basement in a rave club, was as good as any club I visited in 93', and I visited quite a few. DJ Corrie was my idol at the time, a top top guy and unbelievably talented and skilful DJ from Argentina, who I played alongside most weeks.  I'd write his tracklist down most weeks and visit him in Zoom where he worked to pick up my favourites.  It's where I bought Perfect Virtue by Shit-Take, on their Zoom Records imprint. At the time DJ Billy Nasty was heading the shop. Zoom was one to get the best progressive house alongside Bluebird Records in Bromley and Apple Records and Swag Records in Croydon.

If you liked early progressive house, you might like some of these classics, all Labrynth basement anthems in my tenure on their decks.

Labrynth and particularly promoter Joe inspired my to start my own parties and without Labrynth there would be no Kinky Malinki so me and Paul have a lot to credit Joe and Club Labrynth with.  It deserves every bit of it's legendary status and so does Joe too. 

love Labrynth ❤️🔥

My take on Panama & Tinlicker – Fade Into Black.
Wanted to keep the emotion of the original, but make it move a bit more — deeper groove, warmer flow, and space to get lost in.

It’s the kind of track for late nights or long drives when everything just fades into sound.

Hope it hits the right vibe 🌘

Panama & Tinlicker - Fade into Black (LOMAKO Remix)

It all started for me at around 13 years old as a secondary school boy, when I became fascinated with Electronic Music. I was a big Depeche Mode, Yazzo and Tears for Fears fan, so I liked modern bands using technology. I used to go to Trax Records in Greek Street with my best pal at the time Charlie,  and we'd spend the day in Soho Record shops, and listen to the music they played. One of the first tracks I bought was the beautiful Balaeric classic, 'Song for Denise' by Piano Fantasia in 86' when I was just 13 years old. From then I was hooked and passionately in love with this new electronic sound with a beat.

I'd scraped money working in the school holidays to buy my 1210's and a vinyl addiction continued.

I got my first DJ residency in 93' at Labrynth,which was all down to my new friend at the time Vinyl Matt (a resident DJ at the club). It was filled to capacity every Friday and Saturday at the infamous Four Aces club (orignally a Reggae venue) in Dalston Lane and ran by the enigmatic Joe Wieczorek & lovely Sue, who I idolised at the time. 

A rave club at heart, however having house music secondary rooms where I played my first sets. I used to also visit all the record stores within the M25 making sure Joe's Labrynth flyers were stocked up. and giving out the free comps he'd give me for store managers and owners, picking up obscure but brilliant music along the way.  I was in heaven during this period of my life!

After finishing at Labrynth, and missing DJ'ing to a crowd badly, I started putting on my own parties in 95'. These were small local nights, hiring restuarants and bars and filling them up with friends and their friends. some of my pas played at various London nights such as Release the Pressure and Just Can't Get Enough. I also managed to get CJ Mackintosh play for me as he was a lifetime friend of a pal of mine ar the time. 

After moving upwards with bigger venues, I took the plunge in 98' and hired a proper club with a bigger capacity, Imperial Gardens, and Kinky Malinki was born. 

I had to lie blatantly to Raymond at Imperial to even hire the club as I had no big venue history at all.  These were the days before social media existed.  It was sacks and sacks of letters getting franked at the post office and lots of weekends without much sleep giving out the 60,000 flyers we'd had printed.

Together with co-promoter Paul, we put on nights at Imperial Gardens., The Glasshouse, Aquarium, The Ministry of Sound, The Cross, Turnmills, El Divino and my favourite parties at our monthly residency at Pacha London (where we were the longest running residency). 


We were also guests around the UK at some of the most popular nghts of that era, such as Ultra Vegas, Eye Candy, Hotdog and many, many others.

I stepped away from running the parties years ago for personal reasons, but the passion for house music never, ever fades. 

I'm still as in love with the music 35 years later, as I ever have been ❤️ My music? it's underground baby!
