These are a set of DJ mixes encoded from old cassette tapes which I originally recorded between 1991 and 1993 and sold through record shops or mail order back in the day. It’s a document from those great years as it happened and a record of the journey I was going through exploring and discovering the new music of the day, alternating between my two big influences of the the time, breakbeat hardcore and techno. 

It really is as it happened - tunes I was buying that week and unreleased promos I was being given. There’s even the odd tune I probably wouldn’t draw for now, plus amusingly at one point I play Renegade Soundwave - ‘Phantom’ on 45 (much to my retrospective shock!). But this was the era of Hardcore, it was fresh and different, there were no rules.

There’s no tracklistings. Some are obvious bangers and anthems of the time which you’ll know, some are not, and some are obscure releases which even I’m struggling to remember what they were. The mixes echo what I was playing on Pulse 90.6FM as well as at raves such as Helter Skelter, Labrynth, Slimetime, Knowledge, VFM and Eurobeat 2000.

Things kick off in the heyday of Dutch and Belgian Euro, inter-spliced with the UK Breakbeats of the time - think CJ Bolland, Altern-8, Tim Taylor. Then there’s a slew of 92 mixes that capture the fast pace changes in Hardcore’s golden year with too many names to mention, but as an example there’s labels like Moving Shadow, Reinforced, Rising High and producers like Nebula II, Guy Called Gerald, Doc Scott and so on. As the mixes move towards the end of 92, Techno starts creeping in, so there’s early Underground Resistance, Aphex Twin and lots of breakbeat stuff that was picking up on this sea change. With the 93 mixes, it’s the darker hardcore that was increasing in tempo (and post ‘Sesame Street’ pitched up vocals) acting as the pre-cursor of what would then become Jungle. The last mixes are predominantly Hard Techno and Gabba but tinged with Rave and Breakbeat, possibly not to everyone’s liking at this point but nonetheless a representation of another very vibrant strand of what was happening on the underground by late 93.

Quite impressed I had the foresight to record almost all of these onto metal cassette so given the technology, the recordings are not too bad. Unfortunately there’s a couple of moments of distortion on the early mixes, usually from two basslines in the mix but remember these were the days of mixers with no channel EQ or LED lights. And to be honest the mixes are by no means always perfect but nonetheless capture the moment. They’ve all been recorded as is, with no edits, all from take. 

So over to you to push play and enter the rave….

The mighty Doc Martin is probably the LA underground’s most famed export. Ask anyone who’s heard this hardworking house troubadour play a three-hour set anywhere in the world and they’ll tell you about his superb and eclectic taste (finding the perfect balance between soulful and trippy), his wizardry with the crossfader and his uncanny instinct for getting a crowd going. Back in the day his residency at legendary afterhours warehouse Flammable Liquid represented the transition from rave to house, both over the course of any given late night, and over the years as the scene matured. At this session from the height of the rave scene in November ’91, you can hear Doc mix energetic techno and breakbeat tunes (‘The Bouncer’ by Kicks Like a Mule; Hold It Down by 2 Bad Mice) with deeper, dubbier, more advanced stuff – like his signature anthem, Feel It by Coco Steel & Lovebomb, worked to great effect on two copies here.

Comments, hints and suggestions are always welcome!

10 Summer Of 89 - Shades Of Rhythm - ZTT CD

ZTT pressed up 40,000 copies of this 12" EP only to Burn the whole lot in Germany after an Ulta Magnetic MC  sample (pick em up ) couldnt get clearance. We were told the Band were not speaking and it could not get sample clearance no matter what the cost ! This EP only came out on promo , so about 500 copies out there... We were to have 3 more releases on ZTT but our trust was diminishing.... surely you wouldnt go ahead with manufacture unless sample clearance was sucessful? The band was to pay a high price for this mistake, both finanically and creatively. The relationship between the Band and record company was over, it was just a case of delivering what we owed and finding a new home for our music. This was going to prove harder than we imagined, with the rave scene dwindling  and the band burnt out from gigging non stop we were about to enter what we refere to as "the dark years"....

Chris Liberator & Sterling Moss - Live Set September 2010

ECLIPSE TRIBUTE MIX VOLUME 2

In October 1990 Coventry made dance music history...

That first Saturday night/Sunday morning experience was put on at the former Granada Bingo Hall in Lower Ford Street,Coventry,England.

The bingo hall had now been transformed into a 4 floored nightclub, and was also voted the best nightclub in the country in 1991 by fellow ravers through DJ Magazine. With a chill out space including a cinema on the ground floor, a second floor room enough to hold 500 people, and the main room on the top floor holding over a 1000 people including the balcony.

Every Friday and Saturday night would be filled by clubber's and raver's from all over Britain..

Act's such as :The Prodigy, K Klass, SL2, Altern 8, Moby, Shades of Rhythm and LFO all passed through it's door's with live p.a. set's.

Top dj's such as, The great grooverider,carl cox,sasha,frankie bones,Micky finn,top buzz etc,all graced the decks on a reguar basis,and two hour set's were the norm.

February 94,the club was closed.

At the time of closing more than one million people had passed through its doors and it had a standing membership of 74,000. .
