this is the second mix in a series 'trust me i was there' - the music in this mix is what was getting played in the places with a more relaxed door policy (places that would let in 15-16 year olds) and on the london pirate dance radio stations in 1988.

one thing i find interesting about this year (as a producer) is the contrast between the really raw acid stuff and the super slick vocal tracks - one of which was exec produced by quincy jones no less!!

please share this mix with anyone you think might like it :D

if you’re a promoter and you’d like to book me to play one of these sets (or any other era) please contact
belinda or charlotte at echo - please don’t contact me via soundcloud because i don't check this inbox!

this is the 3rd in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - music that i was playing and listening to - this time its all from 1989, and as i was buying more music by this time there will be 3 hour long mixes for '89. 
by 1989 i'd left school and was working 9-5 then spending all my other time listening to pirates and buying music. i didn't have enough money for turntables at this point so i used to chop up tracks using a crappy home hifi using the pause button. luckily nowadays i have turntables :D
if you are a promoter and would like to book me to play a 'trust me i was there' set, or any other era, please email belinda or charlotte at echo.

please share this mix with anyone you think might like it.

this is chapter 4 of my 'trust me i was there' mix series - the second part (of 3) from 1989 - an outstanding year for beats. check out what i've always considered the first jungle tune near the end (then argue with me that its not, no doubt...) - suad £10 to get in. and spot the track with dj rap singing on it!!

if you're a promoter and want to book me to play a 'trust me i was there' set pls contact belinda or charlotte at echo - not via soundcloud or Facebook cos i don't check the messages!

for the people messaging me about putting up a mix of the stuff i'm playing in the clubs at the moment - i'll try and do one over the weekend

please share this mix (and anything else on my soundcloud) with anyone you think might like it. thanks :D

this is chapter 5 in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - these tracks were being played in clubs i was going to and on pirate radio in london. clubs like echos by the bow flyover, genesis, sunrise, energy and the first world dance! by '89 i was djing a bit, at house parties and the odd club.
radio wise, centreforce was the big one for me. i think fantasy started in 89 or 90 and that was another good one. back then they only broadcast at weekends, and even then it was on and off - so when they were on you'd grab a tdk d90 for the rest of the week. 
 if i dig out any other 1989 tracks i'll upload em somehow but for now this is the end of my 89 selection. 
please share this mix and any other music on my soundcloud with anyone you think might like it, and if you're a promoter and you'd like to book me to play some of this music, or new stuff, please contact belinda or charlotte at echo, i don't check my inbox on soundcloud.
thanks again to all the blogs sharing this music.

hope you are enjoying this as much as me :D

trust me i was there chapter 7 1990 pt2

the first in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - where i'll be playing music that was big in the clubs and on pirate radio in london - basically its my record collection in rough date order mixed without any acrobatics - just one tune into another. this is the second version of chapter one cos sony music were upset by the use of one of their tracks... anyway - if you think anyone you know might be into this mix please share it with them. you can follow my mindless drivel on twitter @djzinc or Facebook.com/djzinc
