When Sam Gordon was 7 years old he fell in love with vinyl. He can recall the very first time he went into a record shop at that age “I really loved Herbie Hancock’s tune ‘Rockit’ which was released when I was 7 and I have this vivid memory of my mum taking me into Our Price in Bromley and as I was so small, she had to lift me up at the counter so I could ask the shop assistant for it” It was this shopping trip that got a young Sam hooked on music and those electro beats of Herbie Hancock stuck in his head throughout his formative years. By the time he was 15 he first started producing – “Me and my mates were messing about with the UK hip hop and early house sound we were inspired by, just sampling loads and rapping over fast hip hop beats and hardcore sounds. This would have been 1991. I had a keyboard with 3 seconds of sample time on it, which meant you could only sample one element at a time, loop it and bounce our ideas down onto a 4-track. Our little crew was called ‘Youts On The Run’ which was a reference to the experiences we had growing up in 80’s and 90’s South East London where we were constantly looking over our shoulder. Our lyrics spoke about these experiences and the music drew on the melting pot of influences that were starting to converge into the UK hardcore/early jungle scene. The Group consisted of me as MC Firefly, a mate Lee who went by DJ Frontline and handled the musical side with me and two others; Kevin “Mad X” and Dene “Iron I”. Firefly was a short lived alias as I soon changed my name to DJ Shocker, leaving the mic behind and getting on the decks instead. And then not long after that I became Missing. These name changes all happened within a two year period!”. It wasn’t long before ‘Youts on The Run’ sent off a few demos and had a phone call from one label, Gangster Records, who released tracks by a UK hip hop group Dominant Force. The label boss liked their ideas and spoke about getting them in the studio but nothing came of it and the other band members lost interest but Sam definitely had the bug!

Sam continues –“By the time I was 17 I was really keen to get into a proper studio but back then it wasn’t easy to make music like it is today where practically anyone could access a DAW; and this was pre- internet so definitely no YouTube tutorials on how to chop an amen! These were the days of analogue studios and they weren’t cheap to rent. I was at Orpington College in Kent studying for A levels and a fellow student Ian, DJ Kingsize who was a DJ on Defection FM at the time, told me about a studio he had used for a demo track in Mottingham (also in South East London), run by a guy called Martin. He was in his 50’s and a chain-smoking Yorkshireman who liked his pints. He knew nothing about jungle but he charged a reasonable fee for a day’s session, about £100, and was a nice bloke and mostly a patient engineer when being asked to try all kinds of mad edits! He had a fairly basic set up with a Roland JV1080, a Mackie 24 channel desk, an Akai S1000 that was upgraded, so had about a minutes sample time, an Atari ST running the same cracked copy of Cubase everyone seemed to have and a few sample CDs. So when it came to my 18th Birthday and my parents asked me what I wanted, I asked for a day’s studio session”. His parents kindly agreed to his request, as they could see how much enthusiasm their son had for music, and a day’s studio hire was secured.

Electronic Space Rave Mix Pt 2

With this second release of 2021, I show a raver side of my sound, which I have been searching and maturing for the last year, a revival of those party sounds from the 90s linked with the new scene.

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.
