I still mix DnB/Jungle on the old 1210's. I made a few tunes a while back, but never got around to finishing anything My most recent tune is more of a UK Garage affair Still has a Dred Bass 'waaaaaaarp' in there though

Keep meaning to get back into it a bit more, so many ideas, so little time

I used to sell tickets for World Dance and the like, so always had VIP entry . . . and lots of friends

Been DJ'ing since '89 and will never give up Never lost my hardcore

specialx - who were you known as then ?

specialx

I'm known as XTC or (XTC Nottingham)

I was very lucky at a young age and got a residency @ amnesia's club rage in Leicester 4 nights a week back in 1991 playing alongside everyone from fabio/grooverider to Derek may, Carl *** etc this led to guest spots at the eclipse (some of the best nights of my life! ) and fantazias massive outdoor events.

I then got a good agent and went off from there djing at most clubs throughout the uk cue club,sanctuary,milwalkies,amazon,NJC,fantasy island,etc for years until I started to produce tunes.

I was ready to release a tune in 95 it was on Greensleeves records a nice Barrington levy jungle remix called "here I come" then I started producing for Djss @ formation records and released the 1st of 3 ep's that did very well on the d&B circuit and with all the big lads Fabio,mickeyfinn playing the **** off it! One of my all time Djing highlights was when Mickyfinn played one of my tunes in a packed warehouse club (sanctuary Milton Keynes) and the place went mad I'll never forget that moment as long as I live!


but yeah I did well out of it for over 9 years and I made some good freinds L double,djss,ltj bukem,roni size (no more name dropping!lol)but the bottom dropped out in 97 and I needed a mortgage! so had to go off to pastures new and take a back seat from the djing but kept my ear to the ground, popping out the odd white lable and co-mixing tunes with other producers,
Today I work with scoobs all day at the office and then straight up to "The attic of power" when I get home for some music mayhem it's in the blood!



so got the usual toys 1210's,pc,sampler,keyboard,desk, etc oh yeah and **** loads of tunes!!



dunk you should finish your stuff it is the hardest thing to do but do it!!!

Adam, seeing you in a whole new light now mate!!

Got any old mix cd's lying around you fancy letting me have a listen to next time I'm up at the clinic?

paul-s

dream weaver : you named that tune on the link as Elysium +, iv managed 2 locate a copy of the original Elysium (on happy jack recordings), is this much different ? i take it the + mix is the one on this thread
cheers

Daft Lad

Paul, may be wrong mate but I think Elysium + is a newer trancey sounding remix, so probably not the one that has been posted on here. Just wait for someone else to confirm this though!

specialx - I know the Barrington Levy tune very well It forms an essential part of my selection.

Sounds like you were in the thick of things. A mate of mine, Pooch, also played alongside the legends you speak of If only I had the bottle to play out Many missed opportunities.

We were more in the south, but I did sell tickets for Quest oop north as well. Will have to pop up some time and have a chat about the good old days. Maybe have a little flex on the decks too . . . if you've still got it that is

Daft Lad

Is that Pooch as in 'Pooch & Wivvy'? Still in the beginnings of my vinyl collection but I've got 'Think' on United Dance, cracker of a tune

unclebuck

Ads - not come across you myself.

I was in Bristol in the golden age. Did you ever know Nick Warren, Jody Wisternoff, Daddy Gee, Krust, Di etc. I used to be pretty good mates with them as I worked as a club promoter during this period.

Ok.

Nick Warren - Cream resident (to this day afaik!!)
Jody - Nick's partner in crime - together record under the name Way Out West
Daddy Gee - Massive Attack
Krust and Di - best known as members of Roni Size Reprazent.

not really happy hardcore though.

Just dug out my DJ Hicksy John Peel (RIP ) session recording from about a year ago. "I'm a raver baby you're a drug addict - just accept it..." superb!

Daft Lad

sp - "Hixxy" I've got that too mate, released just after Bonkers 12 if memory serves, cracking little mix it is also, good choice! In fact every one of Hixxy's mixes on the Bonkers albums has been brilliant, especially the old skool one on 13!

Daft Lad

paul-s
