D&b Thursday

Loved this set and glad I got round to digging the tape out. Fergus always played hard trance where others stuck with the happy hardcore sound of the moment. Consequently, he was the only DJ at Pleasuredome to not play a single tune others had played ten times before him on the same night. Respect for that.  This set pretty much got me in to trance, hence the upload. Big ups!

After Daniel Silk had already contributed ‚Facemelt‘ to the ‚Message From the Parazone‘ album we now are very happy to welcome Worldwide Epidemic to Parallax with his Portamental EP!

The opener 'Portamental' is based on a rough idea Dan had already in 2015 and was in a bunch of sketches he sent us. From the intro pads you know this is something special and made us straight fall in love with it. Dan delivers a Jungle Techno track that is well...very Techno, even Trancey in its appereance. It transports a melancholy and reminds us on misty early mornings in the hazy 90ies after a long night out raving, just when the day slowly settles and the first sun rays touch your face. A great tune to start your day (or set) with and definitely one for the headphones crew! Once heard it won´t leave your mind, a track with a lot of character that is close to Dan´s heart, so we are proud he let us have it.

Limited Testpresses available this Bandcamp Friday, 04th August 2023 via Bandcamp from 12 UK time (UCT +1), full artwork copy available later this year! Strictly 1 per customer, be quick!

Roy Reid is known to have the mystical Dance Factor, the fabled ability to turn an empty field into a hallowed sanctuary of rave. His humbled highness can transform a suffering venue into a holy location of extreme ‘ardcore. As the classic Indeep tune ‘Last Night A DJ Saved My life’ once proclaimed; “There aint a problem I cant fix, cause I can do it in the mix’. And no truer statement can be used to describe the legend of the decks, Ellis Dee!

The second of the Ellis Dee Project reissues to be taken on by Vinyl Fanatiks and its a personal favourite of ours. The rawness of the production, the simplicity of the structure, the awesome use of samples… this is a pure rolling hardcore gem, a diamond that shines, 27 years after its creation. Our story previously ended on the last release with Roy successfully releasing his solo debut 12” to critical acclaim after he had become the link that joined together the mighty Rhythm Section the year before. ‘Dance Factor’ continues through the year of 1992, as the raves got bigger, the music spread further, and the drugs got stronger. Three things that Ellis Dee was a first-hand witness too in every sense!

For this release Ellis Dee wanted to make something different to his previous vinyl excursion, the infamous ‘Do You Want Me/Rock To The Max’. As he put it to me “I wanted to make something a bit tougher, a bit darker, to show my versatility”. His LBC Studio was still based in Bethnal Green in the East End of London, a couple of miles up the road from where he was from, Hackney, and as per his first release, the mixdown was done in the West of the city at his bandmates house, Rennie Pilgrim. He was riding the wave of success as his first 12 had made it onto the Fantazia album ‘The First Taste’ and the tune ‘Rock To The Max’ was now something of an anthem at the Fantazia raves. The name Ellis Dee commanded respect and people drove for miles to see him at a Rave, myself included!

Feeling confident and totally submerged now into the scene and the lifestyle, Roy wanted to show his ability as a producer after the years of showing it behind the decks. Reigning from the era of Acid House where he could play Donna Summers ‘I Feel Love’ right next to Fast Eddies ‘Acid Thunder’, Roy wanted to push himself rather than emulate his previous success. ‘Dance Factor’ was also the first track that he had used an Atari ST Notator on, after watching Rennie use it on the Rhythm Section tracks. Ellis Dee loved the rawness of the sound it created and this rawness is evident on ‘Dance Factor’. As Roy told me “The Atari ST Notation was so much better for editing on than what I was using before, the Ensoniq ASR 10. It was far more user friendly and you are able to see a lot more of what’s actually going on with the track that you are making. It really helped me step up my production”.

13 Give Me A Rush

The label was established in 2018 as a means to release the back catalogue of renowned Jungle Techno label Underdog Recordings, which ran from 1993-1995. It quickly expanded from beyond the original goal and now reissues sought after, rare and classic records from the Jungle, Rave, Bleep House, Techno and Jungle Techno genres.

The Vinyl Fanatiks aim is to track down and work with the original artists from the early 1990’s, to reissue their music on vinyl only, and to support the record hunters and vinyl diggers from around the world with quality pressings and superb mastering; a way to show respect and share the story of those that created these incredible records.

The vision is not to focus on the obvious artists of that time but to dig a little deeper and find those that came and went but their legacy still holds true to this day. Some of these producers only released one record and vanished soon after but their music still resonates into the 21st century, accumulating new audiences across the globe, far beyond the catchment of the UK pirate radios and muddy fields of 25 years ago. What happened to these artists? Its Vinyl Fanatik’s mission to find out!

Each record captures a moment in time, a vibe that was true and innocent from a period when music was far more synonymous with rebellion and anarchy than today’s finely polished productions and conformist club pop. This music itself bred on the outskirts of society, fuelled by the passion of the rave, its lineage stemming from the Acid House era of 1988. Often produced on minimal equipment, with minimal skills and knowledge, its audio blueprint transcends to new generations, a rawness that no expensive audio plug in could ever create in this present day.

Vinyl Fanatiks wants to pay homage to these young producers who forged the foundations of the multi-million pound EDM scene we have now. Each of these artists has their own tale to tell, their own memories to share. Limited by their own geographical status within the UK, they somehow still all managed to connect and influence each other, years before the internet, mobile phones and social media that we have today. But the music knew no limits and had no boundaries, transcending generations to this day.
