WHO IS THE LABEL RUN BY AND WHEN DID IT START? THE LABEL IS RUN BY MYSELF OR S RACHET AND WAS LAUNCHED IN JANUARY 1996. WHAT WAS YOUR INITIAL INSPIRATION TO START THE LABEL? IT WAS JUST TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT I CAN WRITE AND PRODUCE GOOD TRACKS AS WELL AS RUN A SOUGHT AFTER / INDEPENDENT LABEL HOW I REQUIRED. AT WHAT POINT DID YOU DECIDE YOU WANTED TO GET ON THE PRODUCTION TIP? AFTER MAKING MY NAME AS A DJ, I DECIDED IT WAS ABOUT TIME TO MAKE MY PATH AS A PRODUCER / WRITER. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST RELEASE AND ON WHAT LABEL? MY FIRST RELEASE WAS THE 'FULL MONTY BOYZ EP' ON LABELLO BLANCO RECORDINGS. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE THE MUSIC CAME ALONG? SINCE I CAN REMEMBER I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED IN MUSIC ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WHAT OTHER LABELS WERE YOU INVOLVED IN BEFORE AUDIO MAZE? I WAS INVOLVED WITH LABELLO BLANCO AND URBAN GORILLA. WHAT OTHER ARTISTS DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ON THE LABEL? WE HAVE C-4, EXPERT WITNESS, INTENSE & MYSELF. ANY NEW SIGNINGS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE? MORE SIGNINGS TO BE CONFIRMED FOR THE NEAR FUTURE, HOWEVER I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY ANYMORE FOR POACHING REASONS. OBVIOUSLY WITH YOURSELF BEING A DJ THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO PROMOTE YOUR RELEASES BUT WHAT OTHER WAYS WORK WELL ON THE PROMOTION TIP? PROMOTING MY RELEASES REQUIRE A LOT OF REVIEWS AND PRESS. MY OWN PROMOTION FOR EACH TRACK MEANS CHECKING ALL ANGLES ARE COVERED - SMALLER DJS AS WELL AS THE BIG NAMES GET COPYS OF THE TRACK AND PIRATE RADIO STATIONS ETC. WHAT DJS DO YOU USE TO PROMOTE YOUR TRACKS VIA DUB? LOADS, SUCH AS ALEX REECE, DJ LEE, FABIO. KENNY KEN, PAUL THOMAS, CHRIS PHILLIPS, BROCKIE AND DJ RAP. HOW DO YOU FEEL THE MUSIC IS PROGRESSING AT THE MOMENT? DRUM & BASS AND INTELLIGENT HAS GOT MUCH MORE OF A LIVE FEEL TO IT. THE USE OF MORE LIVE INSTRUMENTS AS WELL AS VOCALS MAKES THE SOUND ITSELF LESS COMPUTERISED THAN PAST RECORDINGS. YOU STARTED THE RELEASE SCHEDULE WITH 'REMEMBER THE ROLLER', IN WHAT DIRECTION WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THE VIBE OF THE RELEASES IN THE FUTURE? FOLLOWING 'REMEMBER THE ROLLER' I INTEND TO CONFUSE THE CROWD WITH EACH RELEASE, BECOMING STRANGER AND MORE EXPERIMENTAL. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY I STARTED THE LABEL, SO I COULD PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT I LIKE WHICH OTHERS MAY DISREGARD AS WEIRD OR UNSUITABLE. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BEST RELEASE FOR EITHER SALES OR RECOGNITION? 'REMEMBER THE ROLLER' WHICH WAS THE FIRST RELEASE ON THE LABEL. THE TRACK WAS A SIMPLE, CONSTRUCTIVE TRACK THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD WHICH WORKS. WATCH OUT FOR THE REMIX - SOON COME ! WHAT OTHER LABELS DO YOU RATE AND WHY? QUITE A FEW. FULL CYCLE, HARDLEADERS, BASEMENT, CREATIVE SOURCE, EMOTIF / SOUR, XL, MOVIN SHADOW, RAM, LIFTIN SPIRITS, RAZOR, SMOOTH RECORDINGS AND SOURCE DIRECT. WHY - SIMPLE, THEY ALL MAKE RUFF TOONS! BIG SHOUT TO VINYL DISTRIBUTION NICKI & TRACEY @ TON. MY SON & DAUGHTER KELLY & JAY-DEE, MUM & DAD, ALL THE AUDIO MAZE MASSIVE OUT THERE, MASSIVE SHOUT TO STEVE SURLEY MY PARTNER AND ENGINEER IN MUSIC. RESPECT TO KISS FM, RADIO 1 & ALL PIRATE STATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING THE CAUSE!! WRITTEN BY CLARE - BIG UP !! audiomaze records

DANCE PARADISE - SAT 23RD MARCH - TIFFANY'S, GT YARMOUTH AS I HAD MISSED THE LAST COUPLE OF DANCE PARADISE EVENTS I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK. WE ARRIVED AT TIFFANY'S AT 8 AND AS ALWAYS THERE WAS A BIG ENOUGH QUEUE - UNLUCKY TO THOSE WHO WERE IN THAT. THE VENUE ITSELF IS VERY SPACIOUS AND HOLDS A FAIR AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN 3 ROOMS. IN THE MAIN ARENA WHICH WAS ALREADY JAMMED, HIXXY HAD THE CROWD GOING IN FULL SWING. IN THE MEAN TIME I HAD A LOOK AROUND TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE OTHER ROOMS. THE INNERSPACE ROOM DOWNSTAIRS WAS BANGIN' TECHNO WITH RIBBZ, BRISK, CLARKEE, HMS, MASTERVIBE, BILLY WHIZZ AND THOSE WHO WERE IN THERE WERE LOVING IT TO THE MAX. HOWEVER BACK IN THE MAIN ARENA SLIPMATT WAS PLAYING TO HIS USUAL HIGH STANDARDS. THE MUSIC STYLE IN HERE TONIGHT WAS MAINLY HAPPY WITH DOUGAL, RAMOS, SY, BRISK, VIBES, CLARKEE AND IT WAS NICE TO SEE MASTERVIBE WHO STARTED HIS SET OFF WITH A BIT OF JUNGLE BUT WHAT A SHAME IT WASN'T MORE! MCS ON THE NIGHT WERE MAJIKA, SHARKEY, MARLEY, STIXMAN, AND MATRIX WHO ALL PLAYED WELL. THE ONLY DOWNER OF THE NIGHT WAS THE FACT THAT THERE WAS PEOPLE COLLAPSING SO EARLY ON IN THE NIGHT WHICH FOR A 2 O'CLOCK FINISH YOU DON'T EXPECT. OVERALL A WICKED NIGHT WAS HAD BY ALL AND I FOR ONE SHALL CERTAINLY BE RETURNING. CHEERS NIC FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD HOST. ENERGY - FRI 22ND - PALACE HOTEL, SOUTHEND THIS EVENT BEING THE 21ST EVENT AND THE 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY FROM BASSMENT RECORDS IN SOUTHEND. WE ARRIVED AT THE PALACE HOTEL AT 10PM AFTER A QUICK SEARCH WE WERE IN TO HEAR THE LAST FEW FROM DJ FADER WHO WAS FOLLOWED BY DR S GACHET WHO PLAYED A SMOOTHER SET THAN USUAL GETTING THE CROWD IN THE MOOD ALONGSIDE MC METHOD, THE VENUE ITSELF HOLDS ABOUT 600 PEOPLE AND HAS A CHILL OUT ADJACENT TO THE MAIN ROOM, THE DECOR OF THE CLUB IS VERY DARK WITH THE ODD BACKDROP HERE AND THERE FOR EFFECT, WITH SOME GOOD LIGHTING AND JUST THE RIGHT SOUND FOR THE VENUE. NEXT UP ON THE DECKS WAS ONE OF SOUTHEND'S FINEST BAZIL WHO STEPPED UP THE PACE TO THE NOW PACKED ARENA. ON STAGE TONIGHT WERE THE UHF DANCERS WHO WERE ENTERTAINING THE CROWD WEARING VARIOUS DIFFERENT COSTUMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. IT WAS NOW MIDNIGHT, TIME FOR DARREN JAY AND MC GQ I MIGHT ADD AT THIS POINT THAT THE LATTER WAS A NO SHOW BUT THE RESIDENT MC METHOD KEPT THE CROWD HYPER WITH A NICE FLOW. DARREN PLAYED A FAT SET, SO TOO DID MICKY FINN WHO FOLLOWED KEEPING IT ON THE SAME TIP. THE VENUE WAS PACKED AND THE VIBE WAS NICE AND AFTER ENJOYING MUCH CHAMPAGNE CARE OF SAFE SID THE NIGHT WAS OVER. OVERALL A GOOD NIGHT OUT AND THE NEXT ONE IS JUNE 21ST SEE YA THERE. NAU TICA DEEP SPACE - 22ND APRIL - THE END, WEST CENTRAL STREET ON ARRIVAL AS ALWAYS YOU ARE WELCOMED BY THE FAMILY OF INDIVIDUALS, WHO CLOSELY WORK TOGETHER SINCE OLD DEEP SPACE DAYS AT THE NOW LEISURE LOUNGE, ENSURING THAT BEFORE YOU EVEN ENTER THAT YOUR GONNA HAVE A BOSS TIME. ALWAYS GUARANTEED IS AN EXCEPTIONAL LINE UP OF TOP KICKASS DJS AND LIVE ACTS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE, PLUS ONE SERIOUSLY BOOMIN SOUND SYSTEM. THE CLUB ITSELF IS HIGH TECH IN EVERY WAY CONCEIVABLE, EVEN THE BLOODY LOO, WITH THE FLASHY BOUNCERS AND BAR STAFF ALL DRESSED UP IN THEIR DANIEL POOLE GARMS, TO THE ISDN (INTEGRATED SYSTEM DIGITAL NETWORK), WHERE A DIRECT LINK WAS CONNECTED WITH THE FUSE CLUB IN BRUSSELS AND THE END, A FIRST TIME EVER, TWO CLUBS SYNC IN UNISON. DERRICK MAY KICKIN IT LIVE AND DIRECT IN BRUSSELS AND LONDON SIMULTANEOUS, AS WAS ROBIN HOOD VISE VERSA, EARLIER IN THE EVENING, ALL OF WHICH WAS PROJECTED ONTO LARGE VISUAL BACKDROPS IN THE MAIN ROOM. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT DEEP SPACE IS THE UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE AND ENERGY THEY HAVE CREATED IN THEIR TIME AND EXISTENCE, AND HOPE THEY WILL CARRY ON DOING. THE WARM UP TO MY EVENING WAS SPENT IN THE BAR LISTENING TO JOSH, WHOM FOR ME ALWAYS PLAYS AN EXCELLENT SELECTION OF OLD AND NEW FROM HARD HOUSE TO ACID HOUSE, REVIVING THE LATEST AND GREATEST WITH QUALITY MIXING, WHICH SEEMS TO BE AN ESSENTIAL POLICY OF DEEP SPACE, ESPECIALLY WITH RESIDENTS SUCH AS COLIN FAVOR, BRENDA RUSSELL, JOSH, AND COLIN & MARK DALE, WHICH GUARANTEES ME SHOWING MY FACE ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

UNITED DANCE - FRI 19TH APRIL - STEVENAGE ARTS & LEISURE CENTRE ON ARRIVING AT THE VENUE I EXPECTED TO SEE THE USUAL QUEUE STRETCHING AROUND THE BUILDING. BUT NONE OF THE UNITED DANCE'S HAVE ADDRESSED THE ONE COMPLAINT LEVELLED AT THEIR EVENTS, BY SPEEDING UP THE QUEUE AND THE SEARCH UNTIL THIS ONE. SO BY 10:45 WHEN WE ARRIVED THERE WAS UNUSUALLY HARDLY ANY QUEUE AT ALL. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH WE WERE IN, GOING THROUGH THE PACKED AND JUMPIN MAIN ARENA TO THE SOUNDS OF FORCE & STYLES DOING THEIR THANG. ON INTO ARENA 2 FOR THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF FRENZIC'S SET WHO PLAYED A ROLLIN DRUM AND BASS SELECTION TO THE PACKED ARENA. THIS ARENA HAD BEEN SET OUT DIFFERENT AND THE SOUND SYSTEM SEEMED CONSIDERABLY LOUDER THAN THE LAST TIME WE HAD COME. NEXT UP WAS DJ SHARKEY THEN FORCE & STYLES PLAYING THEIR SECOND SET OF THE NIGHT, WHICH DID PLEASE THE RAMMED ARENA 2. AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR OF BOUNCING ABOUT THE CALL OF THE MAIN ARENA BECAME TOO MUCH, SO I MADE MY WAY THROUGH THE CROWD TO THE ROLLIN MAIN ARENA FOR THE LAST FEW FROM ELLIS DEE. THIS GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO CHECK OUT THE RENNAISANCE THEMED STAGE, WITH ITS PERIODIC LOOKING PILLARS WITH FLOWING DRAPES AND A HORSE STATUE EITHER SIDE OF THE DJ BOX. BEHIND WHICH WERE A BANK OF THE BRIGHTEST LIGHTS THIS SIDE OF A MICHAEL JACKSON CONCERT!! THERE WAS ALSO A VAST ARRAY OF THEMED BACKDROPS (I'M SURE I SAW THE MONA LISA AMONG THEM !) AND THE USUAL MAD LAZER DISPLAY. BRISK TOOK OVER THE DECKS WITH WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A BANGING SET FROM BEGINNING TO END. NEXT UP WAS VIBES PLAYING A MIX OF OLD AND NEW, INCLUDING MY OLD FAVOURITE 4AM. VIBES LAST TUNE WAS FOLLOWED BY MICKY FINN AND MC GQ WHO ANNOUNCED THAT THIS SET WAS DEDICATED TO THE RECENTLY DEPARTED MURRAY OF ESP DREAMSCAPE. AFTER A THOROUGH RINSIN FROM MICKY FINN, SEDUCTION BRINGS BACK THE STOMPIN TO LIFT US UP AGAIN IN HIS OWN UNIMITABLE STYLE. NEXT CAME HYPE WHO'S A FIRM FAVOURITE WITH THE UNITED DANCE POSSE, WITH HIS UNIQUE SCRATCHING AND B LINES. TIME WAS FLYING BY AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, IT WAS TIME FOR DJ SY TO LIFT THE ROOF OFF WITH A TURBO POWERED SET. FOLLOWED BY THE MANII SLIPMATT WHO BROUGHT THE NIGHT TO A CLIMAX AND LEAVING EVERYONE THIRSTING FOR MORE. I'LL SEE YA AT THE NEXT ONE !! ROY AND RHONDA TELEPATHY - SAT 11TH MAY - CLUB UN HAVING NOT BEEN TO A TELEPATHY EVENT FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO CHECK OUT "STEP BEYOND". IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO CLUB UN IT BASICALLY COMPRISES OF A LARGE MAIN ARENA WITH 2 BARS AND A FOOD BAR WITH A MERCHANDISE STALL AT THE BACK. ARENA 2 UPSTAIRS HAS SOFAS AND MORE OF A CHILLED LOOK ABOUT IT IN GENERAL. ANYWAY BACK TO THE NIGHT AND WE ARRIVED AT JUST GONE MIDNIGHT TO BE GREETED BY A QUEUE EITHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING SEPARATED INTO A MALE QUEUE AND A FEMALE QUEUE, WHICH WAS LOOKING QUITE ORGANIZED. ONCE INSIDE THE VENUE WHICH WAS STARTING TO PACK OUT BY NOW WE HAD MAMPI SWIFT AND MC SHABBA TAKING CONTROL OF THE SOUNDS AND GETTING THE VIBE FOR THE NIGHT SET, THIS DJ HAS BEEN DOUBLE RUFF EVERY TIME I'VE HEARD HIM PLAY AND TONIGHT WAS NO EXCEPTION. USUALLY AT CLUB UN THE BAR BEHIND THE DJ STAND IS FOR VIP'S ONLY BUT TONIGHT IT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. WE THEN SLID UPSTAIRS TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON UP THERE HEARING THE SOUNDS OF RICHIE COVERS PLAYING TO A VIRTUALLY EMPTY ARENA BUT IT WAS STILL RELATIVELY EARLY WITH PEOPLE STILL COMING IN AND AS THE NIGHT WENT ON THIS ARENA DID PICK UP. NEXT UP DOWNSTAIRS WAS RANDALL WHO ONCE AGAIN PLAYED EXCEPTIONAL TO A NOW PACKED ARENA. AT THIS POINT I MUST SAY THAT DESPITE PEOPLES PRE-CONCIEVED IDEAS TOWARDS THE MORE CUTTING EDGE RAVES LIKE TELEPATHY NONE OF THE FEELINGS OR RUMOURS RANG TRUE ON THIS NIGHT. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS GOOD AND THE CROWD WAS MATURE AND VERY RESPONSIVE TO THE MUSIC. UP NEXT WAS THE MAN MICKEY FINN PLAYING A FAT JUMP UP SELECTION TO THE MASSIVE WHO WAS SOON FOLLOWED BY FLIRT WHO PLAYED FROM 3 - 4 WITH A SET EVERYONE COULD RELATE TO WITH NUFF BIG TUNES. MC STEVIE HYPER D WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING TONIGHT BUT DUE TO A DOUBLE BOOKING IN CANADA HE WAS UNABLE TO SHOW BUT WAS REPLACED BY MCS NAVIGATOR AND SKIBADEE WHO BOTH PLAYED WELL WITH THE LATTER PROVING WHY HE IS FAST BECOMING ONE OF THE TOP MCS. WE SOON LEFT BUT THE REMAINING DJS NAMELY BROCKIE, SL, GROOVERIDER, SS AND ANDY C WERE ALL SAID TO HAVE PLAYED WELL, THIS LEAVING NOTHING MORE TO SAY EXCEPT GET DOWN TO THE NEXT ONE ON THE 6TH JULY AT UN. HENRI LLOYD

HARDCORE HEAVEN - SAT 11TH MAY - SANCTUARY MUSIC ARENA AFTER THE EXCELLENT SUCCESS OF THE LAST EVENT THIS EVENT HAD A LOT TO LIVE UP TO, THE TICKET SALES HAD AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE, WHICH MEANT TICKETS ON THE DAY WERE LITERALLY GOLD DUST. WHEN ARRIVING AT MILTON KEYNES WE MET EMMA AND KELLY AND THEN WE WERE GREETED BY PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUEUES THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN AT THE SANCTUARY. THE ATMOSPHERE OUTSIDE THE VENUE WAS ELECTRIC EVEN THOUGH THE EVENT HAD NOT STARTED, THIS WAS DUE TO A MAD RAVER CALLED AARON WHO COULD NOT WAIT TO GET IN AND HEAR THE B LINE, SO HE DECIDE TO PARK HIS CAR AND SYSTEM DIRECTLY OUTSIDE THE DOORS OF THE SANCTUARY AND THEN LET HIS STEREO DO THE TALKING. IT WAS ALMOST DREAMSCAPE 20 ALL OVER AGAIN WITH EVERYONE JUMPING AROUND AND MAKING A VAST AMOUNT OF NOISE OUTSIDE. WE WALKED THROUGH THE GUEST LIST ENTRANCE WHICH WAS EXTREMELY QUICK AND WE WERE TOLD BY PEOPLE IN THE NORMAL QUEUE THAT THEY WAITED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ONCE INSIDE THE PLACE WAS EMPTY AT 8:30 BUT THE LUCKY RAVERS WHO HAD QUEUED SINE 6:00 COULD APPRECIATE THE STYLE OF MUSIC WHICH KICKED OFF WITH THE ONES LIKE FORCE AND STYLES WHICH STARTED THE RAVE ON A HIGH NOTE AND AS THE CYPRESS HILL TUNE GOES EVERYONE JUST SIMPLY WENT 'INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE'. INSIDE THE VENUE THERE WAS AN OBSCENE AMOUNT OF BACKDROPS WHICH CAUGHT THE EYE TO SAY THE VERY LEAST, TO BE HONEST I WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE SEEN TO PROMOTERS BUDGET AS THIS WAS REALLY WELL PRODUCED. THIS RAVE PRODUCTION WISE WAS TRULY AMAZING, ONE OF THE UNIQUE ASPECTS OF THIS RAVE TO ANY OTHER WAS THE CAT WALK STAGE WHICH THE MCS MARCHED UP AND DOWN ON ALL NIGHT. THE NEXT DJ UP WAS JIMMY J WHO DROPPED SOME TERRIFIC TUNES (OLD AND NEW) AND KEPT THE CROWD JUMPIN. DRUID THE TECHNO ARENA REGULAR PLAYED AN AVERAGE SET DOWNSTAIRS PLAYING A CONTRAST OF TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF TECHNO BOUNCY AND HARD. THE NEXT DJ WAS VINYLGROOVER WHO PLAYED A GOOD SET WHICH KEPT THE BALL ROLLING BUT THE BALL GOT A BIT FLAT FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW WHEN SCORPIO WENT ON THE DECKS, PEOPLE WHO WERE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH SCORPIO MUST HAVE A LOT OF STAMINA BECAUSE HIS TUNES MUST HAVE BEEN HITTING THE 200 BPM MARK. ALL THE MCS ON THE NIGHT PERFORMED UP TO AN EXCELLENT STANDARD, MC LIVELY LIVED UP TO HIS NAME LIKE USUAL BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO STAND STILL ALL NIGHT AND AT TIMES HE WAS LIKE A GOLDFISH IN A FISH TANK NOT COMING UP FOR AIR. BUT AT THE SAME TIME HYPING UP THE CROWD TO HIS USUAL STANDARD WITH DJ VIBES, AS USUAL THEY MADE AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION. LITTLE RUDE BOY RANGER T THE UNDERRATED MC MADE A GUEST APPEARANCE ON THE MIC. HE WENT BACK TO BACK WITH STIXMAN AND MAJIKA (BIG UP). THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION IN THE PAST AS ALL THE THREE LYRICAL MAESTROS HAVE THE SAME STYLE. AS USUAL CHARLIE B JUST STYLED IT INSIDE THE VENUE LIKE USUAL, THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR SHARKY. UPSTAIRS IN THE TECHNO ARENA MC RIBBS WAS RUNNING IT RED ON THE MIC WITH ALL THE DJS PLAYING MILD SETS FOR A CHANGE WHICH WAS QUITE PLEASANT, EXCEPT FOR HMS WHO PLAYED FIERCE GABBA AND KEPT PULSE RATES FLYING AND CLARKEE'S SET WAS STOMPING LIKE USUAL. DOWNSTAIRS IN THE MAIN ARENA THE PROMOTER SEDUCTION PLAYED A ROLLIN SET AND RAMOS FOLLOWED ON IN GOOD STYLE. DOUGAL THEN DROPPED A SET WHICH WAS BASICALLY PURE DUBPLATE AND SY THE SCRATCHMASTER WAS A PROLIFIC SCRATCHER FROM THE START TO THE FINISH OF HIS SET. THE LAST SET WAS SIMPLY AMAZING WITH SLIPMATT AND MC CHARLIE B WHO SMASHED IT BUT IT SEEMED AT THIS POINT THE CROWD LACKED ENERGY AS THEY HAD DANCED ALL NIGHT. OVERALL THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT RAVE AND IS THE BEST 100% HAPPY RAVE AROUND AT THE MOMENT. RESPECT IS DUE TO THE SOUTHEND, COLCHESTER, SOUTH WOODHAM AND NORWICH CREWS BY NEIL & ANDY.

DESIRE - SAT 11 MAY - THE ISLAND, ILFORD A NIGHT I'M SURE MANY OF YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO 'DESIRE - ON A MISSION' AS WAS I. THIS VENUE NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION WITH IT'S HUMUNGOUS BALCONY AND A WICKED LAYOUT IN GENERAL. THE THEME FOR TONIGHT AS I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE IS STAR TREK. THIS INCLUDED MANY BACKDROP SHOTS AND THE STAGE WHICH WAS SET OUT LIKE THE BRIDGE IN THE SS ENTERPRISE WITH THE CAPTAINS CHAIR, SLIDING DOORS AND JUST BARE MADNESS. I MUST MENTION AT THIS POINT THAT THERE WAS A FEW ABSENSES SUCH AS PHANTASY AND MC STEVIE HYPER D WHO WERE BOTH DOUBLE BOOKED TO PLAY IN CANADA AND DR S GACHET WHO WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PLAY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND HIS CONTROL. FIRST UPON THE DECKS WAS LOW KEY'S SPECIAL K FOLLOWED BY KOOL FM'S WILDCHILD WITH MC RAGE WHO PLAYED TO THE NOW GETTIN' BUSIER VENUE. THE DESIRE RESIDENT ZINC PLAYED NEXT WITH HIS USUAL STYLE OF CROWD FRIENDLY SMASHERS, THIS IS ONE DJ THAT I'M SURE IS GOING TO HIT THE TOP IN 1996. UP NEXT WAS THE V KING JUMPING JACK FROST WHO AS USUAL DREW PLENTY OF PLATES PLAYING ONE OF THE BEST SETS OF THE NIGHT ALONGSIDE BEST MC OF 1995 GQ. BY THIS POINT THE VENUE WAS RAMMED AND GETTIN' HOT, RAP FOLLOWED SUIT AND BLEW EVERYONE AWAY WITH A FAT SET THEN CAME ELLIS DEE WHO DID A 2 HOUR MARATHON SET TO COVER FOR AN ABSENTEE. NOT MY FAVE SET OF THE NIGHT BUT STILL PLAYED OK. THE RAVE WAS IN FULL SWING NOW AND NEXT ON THE DECKS WAS SS WHO PLAYED HIS UNIMITABLE FORMATION STYLE BUSTIN' A MAD "WOO HAH" MIX AND PLENTY OF SMASHERS TO GET THE CROWD ON THEIR FEET. GETTING ON TO THE BALCONY AT THIS POINT WAS QUITE A MEAN TASK AS THERE WAS A FEW SLACKERS IN THE HOUSE WHO DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPSTAIRS AND CHILL OR MAYBE JUST TO GET OUT OF THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE ON THE MAIN FLOOR (I AM NOT REFERRING TO TROUBLE AS THERE WAS NONE BUT THE MAIN FLOOR WAS AS RAMMED AS YOU LIKE!!). THE TIME IS NOW 4 O'CLOCK AND TIME FOR THE HYPE WITH SPECIAL GUEST ANDY C DOING AN UNADVERTISED BACK TO BACK SET, I'M SURE THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE WILL AGREE THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE FATTEST OF THE NIGHT WITH THE COMPERE BEING MC FLUX WHO KEPT THE CORWD BUBBLING, I MUST COMMENT AT THIS POINT ABOUT THE DANCERS ON STAGE WHO WERE GOING ALL OUT AND HAVING IT ON A LARGE SCALE. MICKY FINN FOLLOWED KEEPING ALL THOSE THAT HAD ANY STAMINA LEFT ON THEIR FEET, THIS DIDN'T INCLUDE ME SO I DECIDED TO LEAVE, PASSING THROUGH THE STILL BUSY GARAGE ROOM ON THE WAY OUT. TOMMY H.

DISTRIBUTION

FIERCE. VITAL. TEARING. LISTEN TO A DJ KID SET AND THE RAW, KINETIC ENERGY THAT MAKES JUNGLE QUITE SO EXCITING, IMPACTS WITH A FORCE YOU JUST CAN'T IGNORE. VISCERNAL SNARES, THUNDEROUS CYBORG B LINES AND IN-YOUR-FACE HIP HOP FLAVOUR - LIKE HYPE, SS AND KENNY KEN - EDINBURGHS KID KNOWS HOW TO ROLL THE BEATS TO MAKE A DANCEFLOOR IGNITE. AND IF HIS SETS SOUND INCENDIARY, IT'S NOT REALLY SURPRISING, BECAUSE KID'S PASSION FOR JUNGLE IS INTENSE. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS HE'S NOT ONLY ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST UP-N-COMING TALENTS IN THE ENGLISH JUNGLE RANKS BUT HE'S FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAILS TO BREAK THE MUSIC HE LOVES ALL OVER SCOTLAND. "THE DRUM'N'BASS STUFF (AS OPPOSED TO JUNGLE) SEEMS TO BE THE STUFF THAT'S COMING THROUGH UP HERE," MUSES KID - AKA 23 YEAR OLD PETER SYMINGTON, "BUT IT'S ALL THE PRETENTIOUS FUCKERS IN THE WEST THAT ARE GETTING INTO IT. I'M NOT GONNA DROP THE MUSIC THAT I'VE LIKED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS TO CHANGE TO DRUM AND BASS BECAUSE IT'S POPULAR. I'VE STUCK TO MY GUNS. I'M NOT GOING TO START PLAYING DRUM AND BASS BECAUSE IT'S THE IN THING UP HERE. I'M GONNA LOOK TO BE THE PIONEER IN THE HARDER SIDE OF THINGS. "HOWEVER HIS LOYAL FOLLOWING NORTH OF THE BORDOR HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESSS OF CLUB NIGHTS LIKE STREET KNOWLEDGE, MANGA AND JUNGLE PARK IN EDINBURGH AND URBAN FLAVA IN DUNDEE, WHERE KID'S JUMP UP STYLE HAS RAISED THE ROOF. DOWN SOUTH, WHERE HE'S BEEN STEADILY MAKING HIS NAME SINCE PLAYING THE LEGENDARY QUEST IN 92, YOU'LL FIND KID, ROCKING THE CROWD AT EVENTS LIKE ROAST, JUNGLE FEVER, DREAMSCAPE, THE FRUIT CLUB AND AMAZON. RIGHT NOW, THE BIGGEST TUNES IN HIS BOX INCLUDE APHRODITE'S 'STYLE FROM THE DARKSIDE' "IT'S GOT A REALLY GOOD ERICK SERMON [EPMD] SAMPLE IN IT", IN DA HOOD VOL 1' AND DILLINJA'S MIXES OF FIREFOX AND 4 TREE'S 'WARNING'. DJ HYPE, IS A PERENNIAL FAVOURITE, AS IS THE NO SMOKING IMPRINT. "YOU CAN TELL HYPE'S GOT THE HIP HOP BACKGROUND," SAYS KID, WHO SHOULD KNOW HAVING ONCE BEEN HEAVILY INTO IT HIMSELF. "HIS STUFF'S ALWAYS GOT A DIFFERENT EDGE TO IT. HE'LL NEVER HAVE A STRAIGHT BASSLINE, HE'LL ALWAYS DO SOMETHING TO IT, HAVE A WOBBLE IN IT AND IT ALWAYS GETS YOU GOING - AS OPPOSED TO SOME OF THE DRUM'N'BASS STUFF." AND, AS MENTIONED EARLIER PETER KID'S FIRST LOVE WAS HIP HOP, BUT AS HE ADMITS "THE HIP HOP SCENE IN SCOTLAND NEVER REALLY HAPPENED." WHEN RAVE AND HARDCORE TOOK HOLD IN 1990 -91, HE STARTED TO DJ AND ONCE HE'D LOCKED ONTO STUFF BY SHUT UP AND DANCE AND ON IBIZA AND REINFORCED, THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK. "WHEN I USED TO PLAY BACK IN THE BREAKBEAT DAYS I WAS RIGHT ON THE SCRATCHING TIP, I USED TO SCRATCH LIKE MAD AND CHOP THE CROSSFADER UP BACK AND FORTH, BUT THESE DAYS I'M MORE INTO LONG ROLLING MIXES," KID EXPLAINS. "I REALLY ENJOY PLAYING AND HAVING A 2 OR 3 MINUTE MIX RUNNING - I'VE LEARNT THAT FROM WATCHING RANDALL AND ANDY C PLAY DOWN SOUTH." SO WHAT ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE SO CALLED 'DARK', MOODY STYLE OF JUNGLE AS MADE BY PRODUCERS LIKE ED RUSH? "I WAS NEVER INTO THE DARK PHASE WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, I JUST COULDN'T GET MY HEAD ROUND IT. THE ONLY TUNE I LIKED WAS GOLDIE'S "TERMINATOR" BECAUSE OF THE RUFF BEATS AND LONG DARK BASSLINES." WHILST KID'S SOUND MAY BE RAW, DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING TOO EERIE OR MINDWRECKING. AS FOR THE FUTURE, WELL, YOU'RE GONNA BE HEARING A LOT MORE FROM PETER KID OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. NOT ONLY AS A DJ, BUT AS A PRODUCER TOO. "IT'S HARD TO MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM PLAYING RECORDS AND MAKING THEM AND I'VE COME INTO THE PRODUCTION SIDE AT A RELITAVELY LATE STAGE." HE ADMITS MODESTLY. BUT AS THE OLD ADAGE GOES - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. AND, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, IT'S SURE TO BE WORTH THE WAIT. SHOUTS TO EVERTON, KINGSLEY, DOROTHY AND THE REST OF THE ROAST CREW. ANTONY, TANYA, JO AND THE FORMATION CREW. TO BOOK DJ KID PHONE SUE @ JUNGLE FEVER ON 0181 806 0996

FIRSTLY, WHO IS INVOLVED IN FUTURE BOUND? Future Bound is Paul Maker, John Collinson, DJ Ryan and Myself B.C. HAD YOU EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH MUSIC BEFORE FUTURE BOUND? Yes, Paul and myself released a track under the name of New Force Project about 4 years ago. Previously we went out as New Force. There were 5 people involved in that set up, but due to financial difficulties and lack of support from people up north, things as New Force came to an end. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DJING? I've always bought records since an early age, and as I was into the acid house scene in 88 - 89 I just went on to start DJing so I'd say about 7 years. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? The style of music I play is deep and sharp, mixing wise I try to keep the beats as tight as possible. I try to blend the music together, so as the next track compliments the last. BEING FROM LIVERPOOL, HOW DO YOU FIND THE SCENE UP THERE? Very frustrating, as I was saying about the New Force saga, we have been pushing Jungle / Drum & Bass up north for a long time. Over the years we have put on various events, with DJs like LTJ Bukem, Doc Scott, Ray Keith, etc...and we also had Goldie, Dego & Mark from 4 Hero doing a PA. This was about 3 or 4 years ago, but hardly anyone up north was into this sound and to cut a long story short we lost a lot of money, which set us back a year or 2. AT WHAT POINT DID YOU LINK UP TO FORM FUTURE BOUND? Future Bound is just a progression of our past ventures. Because we had a few set backs, we needed time to re cooperate and work on getting our own style and sound both DJing and on the production side of things. FUTURE BOUND RECENTLY RELEASED "SORROW" ON SKANNA RECORDINGS, DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS TO RELEASE TRACKS ON ANY OTHER LABELS? Yes, we have finished 2 new tracks for Timeless recordings, called "The Ephemeris" and "Blue Mist" and also we have remixed Digital's "Spacefunk" also on Timeless recordings, which we were happy about because Timeless is a high profile label. I am also putting a track on a forthcoming Moving Shadow compilation under my own name as 'B.C.' & also I'm working with Neil Trix, in which were putting the finishing touches to some new material, there's also other remix work in the pipeline. Goldie has asked for something for Metalheadz, so hardwork lies ahead. WHEN WRITING A TRACK DO YOU GO FOR A SET STYLE OR JUST LET IT TAKE IT'S OWN COURSE? We take as long as it takes, until we produce an original formula that were all happy with. Some people say we take ages on a track, but we would rather produce something special rather than putting out something that's just good or OK. ARE THERE ANY PLANS FOR YOUR OWN LABEL IN THE FUTURE? Definitely, when the time is right, but for now it's just a matter on learning more and hard work. WHERE DO YOU SEE THE MUSIC GOING IN THE FUTURE? I can see Jungle / Drum & Bass doing what it has always done, and that's progressing. The artists are keeping in touch with each other and pushing each other. One thing I hope doesn't happen is that some artists who go with major labels don't start making music for the trendies, everyone should remember it's been hard work to get the music to this standard. WHO ARE THE ARTISTS DOING IT FOR YOU NOW? There's so many, but if I had to cut it down to a select, I'd say Quiffy + Paul aka Q Project + Spinback, Source Direct + Odysee, LTJ Bukem, Peshay, Intense, Photek, JMJ, KMC, PFM, Doc Scott, Neil Trix and Wax Doctor. WHO ARE THE DJS DOING IT FOR YOU? DJ Lee, Peshay, KMC, LTJ Bukem, Doc Scott, and definitely my partner in crime DJ Ryan. WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? I've got DJ bookings coming up so I aim to keep pushing it as a DJ, but regarding Future Bound, to try and keep things original and to try to inspire the artists and DJs who have inspired us.

NORTH EAST LONDON BASED LABEL LONDON SOME'TING RECORDS STARTED UP IN NOVEMBER 1994. THE COMPANY CONSISTS OF 4 VERY CLOSE FRIENDS AND 3 BROTHERS OF WHOME ARE ALL ARTISTS. THE KEY FIGURE IN THE COMPANY IS DJ RON ALONGSIDE HIS BROTHERS DJ / MC STRING WHO IS NOT ONLY AN MC FOR JUNGLE EVENTS, BUT WHO IS ALSO A SUCCESSFUL DJ ON THE SOUL / SWING / R + B CIRCUIT, AND YOUNGER BROTHER DJ LENNY ROCK WHO IS A TALENTED UP + COMING DJ. THE OTHER 4 MEMBERS INCLUDE GOOD FRIENDS DJ SL (A FAMILIAR NAME ON THE JUNGLE SCENE), MC SIVE-O AND MC OF 1995 MC GO AND DJ SPOONEY ONE OF THE FAVOURITES ON THE GARAGE SCENE. SO WITH THIS TALENTED FORCE IT'S NOT HARD TO SEE WHY LONDON SOME'TING RECORDS IS A VERY INTERESTING CONTRIBUTOR TO THE WHOLE UNDERGROUND MUSIC INDUSTRY. SO WHERE, WHY AND HOW DID IT ALL START. ONE MAN MADE IT HAPPEN, A MAN ALSO KNOWN AS "THE GOLDEN CHILD" - DJ RON. WITHOUT RON'S TALENTS AND HARD WORK NONE OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. RON STARTED DJING FROM THE AGE OF 16, NOW SEVERAL YEARS LATER HE'S SPINNING JUNGLE & DRUM + BASS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. EVEN PARTS OF THE WORLD IN PLACES LIKE GERMANY, SWITZERLAND, MIAMI AND CHICAGO ETC. IN 1992 RON STARTED VISITING ISLINGTON MUSIC WORKSHOP. NOW PRODUCING HIS OWN TRACKS HE WAS REALLY GETTING THE FEEL OF THE ENGINEERING SIDE OF THE MUSIC. RON WAS THEN APPROACHED BY BDP PRODUCTIONS TO DO A REMIX OF "BRICKMAN" TO COME OUT ON ROUGHTONE RECORDINGS. RON DID THIS WITH MUCH SUCCESS AND IT GAVE HIM SOME RECOGNITION OF HIS PRODUCING TALENTS. HE DECIDED THEN HIS NEXT MOVE MUST BE HIS OWN EQUIPMENT IN HIS OWN STUDIO. RON'S PREVIOUS BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE GAVE HIM A FOUNDATION AND WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM TERRY (MR E, FROM DILLINJA'S CAMP SOUTHSIDE) AND A MAN CALLED G-FORCE (WHO HAS ALSO WORKED WITH LTJ BUKEM), WHO GAVE HIM SOME ADVICE AND MADE CERTAIN POINTS CLEARER TO HIM. RON HAD NOW GOT INTO THE SWING OF THINGS. OUT ON HIS OWN AND READY TO ROLL HE STARTED PRODUCING HIS OWN TRACKS. SINCE THEN HE HAS PRODUCED NUMEROUS TRACKS AND CONTRIBUTED A GREAT DEAL TO THE RAVE SCENE. A COU- london some'ting

PLE OF HIS MORE SUCCESSFUL TRACKS WERE PROBABLY "INFORMATION CENTRE" REMIX WHICH WAS OUT ON THE RUFF KUT LABEL AND "AFRICAN CHANT" ON ROUGH TONE RECORDINGS. RON HAS REMIXED A LOT OF TRACKS FOR VARIOUS ARTISTS ON THE RAVE SCENE, BUT HIS TALENTS ALSO GAVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO REMIX TRACKS FOR MAJOR MAINSTREAM LABELS LIKE WARNER BROTHERS IN LOS ANGELES AND VIRGIN RECORDS WHERE HE REMIXED A UB40 TRACK AND ALSO A REMIX ON EMI FOR RAGGA TWINS. SO NOW RON'S PROFILE IS STARTING TO LOOK VERY INTERESTING, WITH SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF STYLES IN BOTH UNDERGROUND AND MAINSTREAM. WITH ALL THIS GOING ON HE DECIDED TO SET UP HIS OWN INDEPENDANT RECORD LABEL. HE FELT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA, THE THOUGHT OF PUTTING OUT GOOD TUNES GAVE HIM A FEELING OF SATISFACTION. SO HOW DOES A MAN SO BUSY FIND TIME TO DJ - WHICH NOT ONLY INVOLVES TRAVELLING AND PLAYING OUT, BUT CUTTING DUB PLATES AND LISTENING TO TRACKS FROM OTHER PRODUCERS AND BASICALLY KEEPING IN TUNE WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON AROUND HIM, BUT ALSO PRODUCING REMIXES FOR OTHER ARTISTS AND HIMSELF, AND RUNNING A RECORD LABEL AT A HIGH AND PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. IT'S NOT EASY BUT THAT'S WHERE THE STRONG UNITY THAT LONDON SOME'TING RECORDS HAS HELPS RON. IF HE COULD DO EVERYTHING HE MOST DEFINITELY WOULD, BUT HE KNOWS TO STAY FOCUSED AND PROFESSIONAL HE HAS TO ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITIES. SO HIS BROTHER DJ / MC STRING TAKES CONTROL OF THE ADMINISTRATION SIDE OF THINGS. THERE IS A LOT OF WORK INVOLVED AND A LOT OF PAPERS TO BE ORGANISED, WITH STRING TAKING CONTROL OF THIS DEPARTMENT IT ALLOWS RON THE FREEDOM TO CARRY ON CONCENTRATING ON HIS MUSIC. ALL OTHER PARTIES INVOLVED DO VARIOUS WORK TO HELP LONDON SOME'TING RECORDS AND ALSO GIVE IDEAS, OPINIONS AND SUGGESTIONS, EVEN THOUGH ALL FINAL DECISIONS LIE WITH RON THIS KEEPS THE COMPANY FOREVER MOVING FORWARD. WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING ARTISTS FOR THE LABEL, RON ONLY TAKES ON ARTISTS TRACKS WHICH HE BELIEVES ARE SUITABLE FOR THE LABEL. ARTISTS THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE LABEL PREVIOUSLY INCLUDE FREELANCE ENGINEER, PRISONER 021168 AND ARTISTS WHO EVEN HAVE THEIR OWN LABELS HAVE FEATURED ON THE LABEL. SOON TO BE FEATURED ARE ARTISTS LIKE SHY FX (EBONY) AND COOL HAND FLEX (DE UNDERGROUND). WITH SO MANY UNDERGROUND LABELS SURFACING RON BELIEVES THAT TO BE A GOOD LABEL YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH GOOD AND BAD TIMES AND STILL COME OUT SUCCESSFUL, THIS IS WHY HE TAKES HIS HAT OFF AND GIVES RESPECT TO LABELS LIKE PHILLY BLUNT / V RECORDINGS, GOOD LOOKING RECORDS AND FORMATION RECORDS ETC. BECAUSE OF HOW THEY HAVE ADOPTED A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS ATTITUDE. RON ALSO BELIEVES THE MORE INDEPENDANT LABELS THERE ARE THE MORE STRENGTH THERE WILL BE IN THE UNDERGROUND AND INDEPENDANT RECORD SECTOR. RON IS CONSTANTLY IN THE STUDIO AND AT PRESENT IS IN THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING HIS OWN ALBUM, DUE TO BE RELEASED IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS ON RCA. HE DID AN ALBUM IN 1995 FOR VIP CHAMPAGNE BASH WHICH DID VERY WELL, BUT HE WAS ONLY THE DJ FEATURED TO MIX THE TRACKS OF OTHER ARTISTS, SO THIS ALBUM WILL BE ALL HIS OWN TRACKS. 100% DEDICATION, 100% DJ RON. ALSO LONDON SOME'TING RECORDS ARE LAUNCHING THEIR OWN MERCHANDISE SHORTLY, WHICH IS JUST ANOTHER ANGLE FOR THE COMPANY, SO WITH ALL THIS GOING ON WHERE WOULD RON LIKE TO SEE LONDON SOME'TING RECORDS IN 5 YEARS TIME ? - "AS A THRIVING INDEPENDANT LABEL WITH REFERENCES FROM BOTH THE UNDERGROUND AND THE MAINSTREAM WITH A CUTTING EDGE MUSIC DESIGNED IN THE UK." (QUOTE BY DJ RON) RON SAYS: "I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEND LOVE OUT TO MY CREATOR, MY MOM, MY BROTHERS AND THE REST OF THE CLAN, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, PEACE."

WHA'S UP KEEP ON MOVING FORMATION RECORDS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ROAR RECORDINGS ARE SOON TO RELEASE SOUL II SOUL'S CLASSIC TRACK "KEEP ON MOVING" DJ SS STYLE. ON THE CD THERE WILL BE 10, YES 10 MIXES INCLUDING HARDSTEP, JAZZ, ROLLIDGE, JUMP UP, ROLLIN ETC ETC TO SUIT ALL TASTES. THERE WILL ALSO BE A DOUBLE PACK 12". WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE INFO.. HOODS FROM DA CITY BRAIN RECORDS PRESENTS THE ALBUM "HOODS FROM THE CITY", BILLED AS A NEW CONCEPT IN DRUM & BASS / JUNGLE WITH ALL 13 TRACKS BEING TOTALLY LIVE AND SAMPLE FREE. WITH UK INPUT FROM VARIOUS ARTISTS INCLUDING BIZZY B, ZINC, PUGWASH, TDK, MARVELLOUS CAIN, WACO AND MARLEY MARL PLUS THE PRESHA CREW FROM GERMANY, AND CORIE & TISHAN FROM THE USA WITH LIVE KEYBOARDS, RAPS AND FEMALE VOCALISTS - COMING SOON. COOL BREEZE DIFFERENT RECORDING ARTISTS OR DJS FOR THAT MATTER SHARING THE SAME NAME IS NOT A NEW THING BUT IS BECOMING AN EVER INCREASING PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CLASH IN THE SAME MUSICAL GENRE. THE LATEST IN THE SERIES IS COOL BREEZE. IN THE (FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD) TRIP HOP SCENE THERE IS A COOL BREEZE RECORDING ON DORADO RECORDS WHEREAS IN THE JUNGLE SCENE THERE IS ANOTHER COOL BREEZE RECORDING ON VARIOUS LABELS INCLUDING 24 KARAT. AS THIS STOOD THIS WAS FINE AS THERE WAS NO CLASH ON THE MUSICAL SIDE OF THINGS UNTIL THE TRIP HOP COOL BREEZE HAD AN ALEX REECE REMIX DONE OF ONE OF HIS TUNES THUS BRINGING HIM INTO THE JUNGLE / DRUM & BASS GENRE. SURELY AN ARTIST ENTERING A SCENE AS AN UNKNOWN SHOULD GO UNDER AN ALIAS TO SAVE CONFUSION IF NOTHING ELSE. LETTERS GET YOUR PENS AT THE READY, NEXT MONTH WE START OUR READERS LETTERS PAGE.

dj lee's selection WAX DOCTOR - R&S - DUB IF YOUR INTO THE WAX DOCTOR VIBE THIS WILL BE YOUR TUNE OF 1996. FROM START TO FINISH THIS IS PURE EXCELLENCE. FIRST WAX'S TRADEMARK "APACHE" BREAK AND STRAIGHT INTO A SAX AND SULTRY ONE CHORD STRING THAT HOLDS FOR THE WHOLE TUNE. AFTER A SUPERB BREAKDOWN THE TUNE SLAMS BACK IN WITH A SUBTLE RHYTHM IS RHYTHM SAMPLE. JUST FOR THOSE WHO KNOW FROM WAX'S FORTHCOMING LP THIS IS ONE OF MY BEST TUNES OF 1996 SO FAR ! FUTURE BOUND - THE EPHEMERIS - TIMELESS DUB THESE BOYS BASED IN LIVERPOOL HAVE COME UP WITH THEIR BEST TUNE TO DATE. IT'S GOT THE LOT IF YOUR VIBE IS MUSICAL AND DEEP, GUITARS, LUSH STRINGS, TIGHT BREAKS, SUPERB VOCAL SAMPLES AND A ROLLIN B LINE TO KEEP IT ALL TOGETHER. THIS IS THEIR DEBUT 12" FOR TIMELESS AFTER THEIR REMIX OF DIGITAL'S "SPACEFUNK" WHICH IS OUT NOW. THESE BOYS ARE DEFINITELY ON A "FUTURE" VIBE, WATCH OUT FOR THEM IN '96. SPIN BACK & Q PROJECT - DELTA WAVE - LEGEND DUB SPIN BACK + Q PROJECTS MUSIC HAS PROGRESSED SO FAST THIS YEAR THAT THEY ARE IN MY TOP 5 PRODUCERS LIST OF ALL TIME. "DELTA WAVE" IS A CLASSIC AMEN TUNE WHICH IS TOUGH BUT NICE. IT INTRO'S WITH SOME DEEP & SPACEY STRINGS INTO THE HELICOPTER BREAK AND FINALLY WHIPS IN WITH SOME VICIOUS AMEN LICKS. WHAT'S NICE ABOUT THIS TUNE IS HOW THESE 2 KEEP IT VICIOUS ON THE BREAKS BUT MUSICALLY CORRECT WITH THE INTRICATE STRING WORKINGS. THESE BOYS HAVE ABOUT 20+ TUNES DOING THE ROUNDS ON DUB AT THE MOMENT WITH IMMINENT RELEASES ON GOOD LOOKING, CREATIVE SOURCE, TIMELESS, LEGEND, MO WAX AND THEIR OWN C.I.A., YOU DECIDE YOURSELF ON THE QUALITY OF THEIR MUSIC.

Happy Rollers (DJ Demo) - Musik - Universal records IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE LAST HAPPY ROLLERS TUNE ON UNIVERSAL ALTHOUGH DEMO HAS BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY BUILDING HIS CAREER AS A FINE RECORD PRODUCER / ARTIST WITH RELEASES ON 'CORROSIVE' AND 'AS COOL AS IT GETS'. "MUSIK" IS THE TITLE TRACK ON A 4 TRACK DOUBLE PACK WHICH WILL BE RELEASED AT THE END ON JUNE. OTHER TRACKS ARE "DEAF ROW" WHICH WILL BE FEATURED ON THE UNITED DANCE VOL 4 ALBUM PLUS 2 REMIXES OF "95 STYLE" BY HAM AND BRISK. THE TITLE TRACK IS AN EXCELLENT FOLLOW UP TO LAST YEARS ANTHEM WITH SOME FAMILIAR VOCALS, LOADS OF EXCITING STAB RIFFS, AN UPLIFTING PIANO AND AN ARRANGEMENT WHICH BRINGS EVERYTHING TOGETHER WITH PERFECT TIMING. GST - Boom - Benz records THE BOYS FROM SWANSEA HAVE COME UP WITH A BOUNCY LITTLE NUMBER TO KICK OFF THIS NEW RECORD LABEL. BENZ RECORDS IS THE NEW SISTER LABEL TO UNIVERSAL WITH A SIMULAR STYLE OF MUSIC BUT WITH DIFFERENT ARTISTS AND A MORE EXPERIMENTAL OUTLOOK. "BOOM" IS A SIMPLE SOUNDING BOUNCY TRACK WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE DANCEFLOOR JUMPING. THE FIRST BREAKDOWN IS A CATCHY RIFF WHICH MOVES INTO AN EVEN CATCHIER ONE WITH SOME VOCALS AND A PIANO TUCKED AWAY IN THE BACKGROUND. THE WHOLE TRACK BUILDS WITH ROLLS AND SOME NICE ACID SOUNDS AND VARIOUS STAB SOUNDS. THE AA SIDE IS JUST AS GOOD BUT WITH A MORE PIANO HANDS UP STYLE WITH LOADS OF EURO SYNTH PATTERNS. Eruption - Fantasy - United Dance recordings ERUPTION DOES IT AGAIN WITH THIS ORIGINAL STOMPER. WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR PRODUCTION THE TUNE STARTS WITH A SYNTH INTRO, THEN A KICK, THEN AN EFFECT THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR TAKING OFF AND BOSCH, FULL SPEED AHEAD WITH A BRILLIANT OFF BEAT STAB. THE FIRST BREAKDOWN IS THE SOUND OF THE 303 IN A WICKED RIFF WHICH EVENTUALLY LEADS INTO SOME NICE VOCALS WITH A LONG DRAMATIC BREAKDOWN WITH PIANO AND THE LOT. NICE TO HEAR SOMETHING OF SUCH QUALITY AND ORIGINALITY. Dougal + Mickey Skeedale - On a high (Exclusive rx) - Essential Platinum LUCKILY I MANAGED TO GET A DUBPLATE OF THIS FINE REMIX AS IT IS ONLY COMING OUT ON THE FORTHCOMING COMPILATION ALBUM ON KICKIN RECORDS "DOUGAL TAKES CONTROL". THE MIX IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL ALTHOUGH A LOT MORE DJ FRIENDLY. THE VOCAL STRING IN THE FIRST BREAKDOWN HAS BEEN GATED WHICH SOUNDS EXCELLENT AND THERE ARE SOME GOOD EXTRA TOUCHES BUT IT DEFINITELY GOES DOWN AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL. WATCH OUT FOR THE DJ FADE REMIX WHICH IS ALSO GOOD AND WILL BE RELEASED AS A SINGLE. Alchemist - Keep on trying (remix) - Burnout records A REMIX AND A HALF FROM RONNI THE ALCHEMIST OF THE MASSIVE TUNE ON THE BURNOUT LABEL. THE INTRO IS NEARLY 2 MINUTES BEFORE THINGS GET GOING, CONSISTING OF EERIE STRINGS, A SLOW HIP HOP BEAT AND EVEN A RAP. THE VOCAL BREAKDOWN IS AS SWEET AS EVER AND WHEN IT KICKS IN AGAIN IT REALLY KICKS ARSE. IF YOUR INTO ORIGINALITY AND SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN THIS IS FOR YOU. I'M SURE THIS WILL BE MASSIVE. ALSO WATCH OUT FOR REMIXES BY OTHER ARTISTS INCLUDING YOURS TRULY. slipmatt's 4 beat selection...

IN LATE '92, JUST LIKE NOW, THERE WERE MANY RECORD COMPANIES PRODUCING HARDCORE, SO WHO WOULD NOTICE "JUST ANOTHER LABEL"? WELL THE RECORD BUYING PUBLIC CERTAINLY DID JUDGING BY THE REACTIONS AND HEALTHY SALES OF THE LABELS DEBUT RELEASE "TAKE ME TO THE TOP / JUST A MELODY" BY SUNSHINE PRODUCTIONS (AKA A - SIDES, PRODUCER OF EARLIER HARDCORE CLASSICS INC "BURN CALI WEED" & E ZEE MAN"). THE ENERGETIC, UPLIFTING SOUNDS OF EARLY HAPPY HARDCORE (ALSO CHAMPIONED AT THE TIME BY LABELS "SLAMMIN VINYL" & "KNITE FORCE") WAS IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE DARK SIDE OF JUNGLE BROODING AWAY IN MANY CLUBS AT THE TIME. AS THESE HARDCORE TRACKS WERE VERY BREAKBEAT ORIENTATED, THEY COULD BE PLAYED ALONGSIDE JUNGLE. "TAKE ME TO THE TOP" WAS FOLLOWED BY MORE ANTHEMS FROM THE STILL YOUNG JAL SUCH AS "ABOVE THE CLOUDS" AGAIN SUNSHINE PRODUCTIONS & "FUNKY SENSATION" BY N-ZO & DJ INVINCIBLE. OLA & LAURA, DIRECTORS OF STAGE ONE - THE "MOTHER" COMPANY (WHICH IS ALSO HOME TO THE LABELS 'STOMPIN CHOONS', 'HAPPY JACKS' & 'NEW SENSATION') HAVE, OVER THE YEARS, DEVELOPED A CLEAR - CUT CRITERIA FOR JAL RELEASES: TIGHT BREAKBEATS, LIVE VOCAL TRACKS, PUNCHY PRODUCTION AND OF COURSE THAT ALL IMPORTANT UPLIFTING VIBE. TRUE TO THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND IT'S NAME JAL HAS NEVER RESTED ON IT'S REPUTATION, AND IS CONSTANTLY IMPROVING QUALITY, DEVELOPING NEW TALENT AND INSPIRING THE FUTURE SOUND OF HAPPY HARDCORE. A SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE OF THAT NEW TALENT WAS THE FIRST EVER PIECE OF VINYL FROM ONE BILLY BUNTER AND HIS STUDIO CHUMS JDS WITH THEIR CLUB FAVOURITE "LET IT LIFT YOU" FEATURING GEM (SOON TO BE REMIXED BY THE BIG MAN HIMSELF FOR THE ALBUM "JUST ANOTHER LABEL MEETS STOMPIN CHOONS - THE COMPILATION". THE LABEL ALSO LAUNCHED FAMILIAR NAMES SUCH AS JUSTIN TIME (A REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR) AND MORE RECENTLY HIGHLIFE & DJ DNA NOT TO MENTION THE STRING OF VOCALISTS STEPH CORELLE, MARLON, JENKA, DAVE JAY, DONNA GRASSIE, &YEMISI. APART FROM OLA & LAURA THE OTHER VITAL MEMBERS OF THE TEAM ARE THE ENGINEERS / PRODUCERS JASON CAMBRIDGE (SUNSHINE PRODUCTIONS), MATT QUINN (JUST ANOTHER ARTIST), MATT CARLTON (JUSTIN TIME) AND AUSTIN REYNOLDS HAVE DEVELOPED THE SOUND OF JAL, TRANSLATING SIMPLE IDEAS INTO KICKING TUNES THOUGH THEIR USE (& FEARLESS MISS- USE) OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE STUDIO. 1996 SEES THE LABEL THRIVING HAVING JUST PUT OUT IT'S 22ND RELEASE: "BETTER AND BETTER / THE NO. ONE" BY JUSTIN TIME FEAT. JENKA, WITH "GOOD TIMES" (JAL 23) FROM HIGHLIFE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. THIS YEAR WILL SEE MORE SHOWCASE NIGHTS (DJ'S, PA'S, FREEBIES AND A LOT OF FUN) AND A JUST ANOTHER LABEL MEETS STOMPIN CHOONS CD COMPILATION. FROM CLASSICS TO EXCLUSIVES THE ALBUM IS SET TO SHAKE UP THE HARDCORE SCENE DUE TO THE FACT THAT EVERY SINGLE TRACK FEATURES LIVE VOCALS, ORIGINAL MELODIES AND 'PUKKA' PRODUCTION: CHOONS YOU CAN LISTEN TO BETWEEN RAVES WITHOUT RUINING YOUR APPETITE!! IN OTHER WORDS IT SOUNDS EQUALLY AS GOOD AT HOME OR IN YOUR WALKMAN AS IT DOES IN A CLUB. THE CD WILL COME WITH A FREE VIDEO FEATURING PROMOS FOR A SELECTION OF THE TUNES, MADE UP FROM LIVE AND STUDIO FOOTAGE, ENABLING PUNTERS TO AT LAST PUT FACES TO SOME OF THE NAMES THEY'VE COME TO KNOW. BUYERS OF THE ALBUM WILL HAVE MANY MUSICAL TREATS IN STORE BUT SOME OF THE MOST SPECIAL ARE VIP MIXES BY SLIPMATT "HIGHER LOVE" AND BY BILLY 'DANIEL' BUNTER OF "LET IT LIFT YOU". ALSO A LONG AWAITED NEW TUNE FROM THE ORIGINAL JUST ANOTHER LABEL PRODUCER SUNSHINE PRODUCTIONS "TASTE THE POISON" FEATURING DONNA GRASSIE (WHO HAS ALSO FEATURED ON THE RAVE CLASSICS "SUNSHINE" AND "GOTTA BELIEVE" ON RSR), REMIXED IN TRUE, AUTHENTIC, EARLY JAL STYLE, COURTESY OF THE "RETROMIX" BY JUSTIN TIME. JUST ANOTHER LABEL HAVE ALSO BEEN INVOLVED IN THE JUST 4 YOU CD COMPILATION PROJECT: IN COLLABORATION WITH KNITE FORCE, HECTIC AND UNIVERSAL. THE THIRD IN THE SERIES IS OUT NOW ON DOUBLE CD AND CASSETTE FEATURING A BONUS MIX BY DJ SLIPMATT. JUST 4 YOU IS A USEFUL MEANS OF INCREASING OUR HAPPY HARDCORE PRESENSE IN THE HIGH STREET STORES WHICH DO NOT ALWAYS SELL VINYL. JUST 4 YOU VOL 1 IS STILL SELLING, HAVING BEEN FIRST RELEASED IN MARCH LAST YEAR. FOR ALL THOSE WHO MAY BE WONDERING IF THE BREAKBEAT ELEMENT OF HAPPY HARDCORE WILL DISAPPEAR FROM THE 4 BEAT AGENDA, HAVE NO FEAR. JUST ANOTHER LABEL HAVE NO INTENTION OF ABANDONING THEIR UK STYLE HAPPY HARDCORE. WE KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR US! WATCH OUT FOR JAL 25 AND CONSEQUENT RELEASES IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF UPLIFTING BREAKBEAT. THANKS TO THE DJ'S, CLUBS, PROMOTERS NATIONWIDE WHO SUPPORT JUST ANOTHER LABEL, SPREADING THE HAPPY VIBE, AND THANKS TO OUR LOYAL PUNTERS. KEEP VINYL ALIVE! just another label

LIFTIN' SPIRIT RECORDS

FIRSTLY, WHO IS THE LABEL RUN BY AND WHEN DID IT START ? TIMELESS RECORDINGS WAS FIRST STARTED IN 1992 BY THE INVISIBLE MAN AND IT WAS THEN TAKEN OVER BY US (BRILLO & DJ LEE) IN 1994. DO YOU PRODUCE TRACKS FOR THE LABEL YOURSELVES OR DO YOU JUST RUN IT ? AT THE MOMENT WE JUST RUN THE LABEL BUT WE BOTH HAVE PLANS FOR PRODUCTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WHAT WAS THE INITIAL INSPIRATION TO START THE LABEL AND WHEN WAS THIS ? GRAHAM (INVISIBLE MAN) HAD LOST INTEREST IN IT AND TRACKS WERE BEING OFFERED TO US, SO IT SEEMED LOGICAL TO RUN THE LABEL. WHAT WERE YOU BOTH DOING BEFORE BEING INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC ? BRILLO WAS A SCAFFOLDER AND A PART TIME MODEL AND LEE WAS WORKING AT RECORD BASEMENT ASWELL AS DJING. WERE EITHER OF YOU INVOLVED IN ANY OTHER LABELS BEFORE TIMELESS ? LEE RECORDED TRACKS ON VARIOUS LABELS INCLUDING LEGEND IN WHICH HE WAS CLOSELY INVOLVED. WHAT IS THE GENERAL VIBE YOU LIKE TO GO FOR WITH RELEASES ON THE LABEL ? JUST GOOD QUALITY MUSICAL DRUM & BASS ! WHAT ARTISTS DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ON THE LABEL ? WE CURRENTLY HAVE DIGITAL, FUNKY TECHNICIANS, MOULY & LUCINDA AND THE INVISIBLE MAN. ANY NEW SIGNINGS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE ? FUTURE BOUND, KMC, MIX RACE, THE SPIRIT, TOTAL SCIENCE AND SOME UNDERCOVER ARTISTS. DO EITHER OF YOU DJ AND IF SO DO YOU SEE THIS AS BEING A GOOD WAY TO PROMOTE THE FORTHCOMING RELEASES ON THE LABEL ? LEE IS THE MAIN DJ FOR THE LABEL, IF YOU WERE TO LISTEN TO HIS SET YOU WOULD HEAR THE FORTHCOMING TIMELESS PROTOTYPES. OTHER THAN THIS WHAT DO YOU SEE AS BEING THE BEST WAY TO PROMOTE YOUR RELEASES ? WE HAVE A GROUP OF DJS WHO PROMOTE OUR MUSIC ON DUBPLATE INCLUDING DOC SCOTT, WAX DOCTOR, FABIO ETC AND WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE MAILING LIST WHICH IS A KEY TO GOOD PROMOTION OF THE MUSIC. HOW DO YOU FEEL THE SCENE IS PROGRESSING MUSICALLY AT THE MOMENT ? THE QUALITY MUSIC IS SHINING THROUGH AT THE MOMENT! THINGS SEEM TO BE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, WE JUST HOPE THE CURRENT INTEREST HOLDS OUT. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THE SO CALLED "INTELLIGENT" SCENE SPLITTING AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE MUSIC, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS ? THE MUSIC IS BECOMING SO DIVERSE IT SEEMS IT CAN NO LONGER BE HELD UNDER JUST ONE BANNER. WE'VE CHOSEN TO JUST FOLLOW THE STYLE WE LOVE. WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST RELEASE FOR EITHER SALES OR RECOGNITION ? THE BEST IN THESE FIELDS HAVE BEEN MOULY & LUCINDA "CHILLED / SPIRITS" FOR SALES AND DIGITAL "SPACEFUNK" FOR RECOGNITION. ANY PLANS FOR AN ALBUM ? MAYBE A COMPILATION OF THE BACK CATALOGUE ON LP / CD IF THINGS GO WELL IN THE FUTURE WHAT GOALS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE LABEL IN THE FUTURE ? TO KEEP PUTTING OUT QUALITY MUSIC AND HOPEFULLY TO BRING THROUGH MORE NEW ARTISTS SUCH AS KMC, FUTURE BOUND AND THE SPIRIT. WHAT OTHER LABELS DO YOU RATE AND WHY ? GOODLOOKING, METALHEADZ, LEGEND, CREATIVE WAX, PHOTEK, SOURCE DIRECT AND ANY LABELS THAT HAVE STUCK TO THEIR MUSICAL GUNS. ANY LABEL COLLABORATIONS OR PROJECTS COMING UP ? WE'VE JUST STARTED A SISTER LABEL CALLED C.I.A. WHICH IS RUN BY THE FUNKY TECHNICIANS. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US ON OUR MISSION AND SHOUTS TO NEIL + ARF, ALL VINYL CREW, LTJ, FABIO, DOC SCOTT + SARAH, RONNIE LEGEND, KELLY, CLIVE, WAX, PESHAY, ASHLEY, PHIL + WITNEY TRIANGLE CREW + ALL THE TIMELESS CREW..

ebony records I'VE BEEN MAKING MUSIC UNDER THE NAME OF SHY FX FOR 3 1/2 YEARS. THE LABEL 'EBONY' STARTED IN OCTOBER 95 AND THE FIRST RELEASE WAS "FUNKIN EM UP". THE INSPIRATION TO START THE LABEL CAME FROM WANTING TO HAVE AN EXTRA OUT PUT FOR MY MUSIC. BEFORE THE MUSIC CAME ALONG I WAS A TRAINEE SOUND ENGINEER AT SOUR AND THAT WAS WHERE I STARTED PLAYING AROUND WITH JUNGLE, THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE LABEL FOR MY FIRST FEW RELEASES. YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE YOUR COLLABORATION WITH UK APACHE "ORIGINAL NUTTA" ON SOUR, WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE? I THINK YOU JUST GO WITH THE FLOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN. WHAT IS THE GENERAL VIBE YOU LIKE TO GO FOR WITH RELEASES? I LIKE TO CREATE A HAPPY PARTY VIBE. I LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE DANCING TO MY TUNES, NOT JUST NODDING THEIR HEAD!! WHEN PEOPLE BUY AN EBONY TUNE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GONNA GET. BESIDE YOURSELF WHAT ARTISTS CURRENTLY WORK ON THE LABEL? 45 ROLLER, MADDIX, DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DONE REMIXES SUCH AS ATOMIC DOG, KRUST, POTENTIAL BAD BOY, DREAM TEAM AND L DOUBLE. ANY NEW SIGNINGS IN THE NEAR FUTURE? WERE JUST ROLLIN ALONG AT THE MINUTE WITH WHAT WE HAVE GOT AND I'LL JUST SEE HOW IT GOES. I LIKE THE FACT THAT EBONY IS A TIGHT UNIT! WHAT DJ'S PROMOTE YOUR RELEASES ON DUBPLATE? ASH, BROCKIE, MICKEY FINN, HYPE, L DOUBLE AND MAMPI SWIFT GET IT FIRST. HOW DO YOU FEEL THE SCENE IS PROGRESSING MUSICALLY AT THE MOMENT? THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT STYLES AND PEOPLE COMING UP. IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SCENE. I DO WHAT I DO REGARDLESS OF WHAT OTHER THINGS ARE GOING ON IN THE SCENE. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BEST RELEASE FOR SALES OR RECOGNITION? OBVIOUSLY "ORIGINAL NUTTAH" WHICH SOLD OVER 50,000 ON SOUR BACK IN '94. "THIS STYLE" AND "FUNKIN EM UP" SOLD QUITE WELL AND JUDGING BY THE PRE SALES OF THE "WOLF" TUNE IT'S GONNA FLY. YOU'VE HAD A FEW RELEASES NOW, BUT OUT OF ALL OF THEM WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE? I CHECK FOR MOST OF MY TUNES. AFTER THE RELEASE OF YOUR ALBUM ON SOUR DO YOU INTEND TO PRODUCE ANOTHER? THERE'S GONNA BE MY SECOND ALBUM ON SOUR AROUND SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER WHICH IS GOING TO BE RELEASED IN JAPAN AND AMERICA AS WELL AS THE UK. THERE IS ALSO GOING TO BE AN EBONY ALBUM THAT IS IN THE PIPELINE THAT I'M COMPILING. WHAT OTHER LABELS DO YOU RATE AND WHY? THERE'S SOME LABELS OUT THERE THAT HAVE A BIG PROFILE GOING ON LIKE THERE THE ONLY ONES REPRESENTING AND WHO FIGHT DOWN EVERYTHING ELSE. I JUST RATE THE ONES THAT KEEP IT REAL AND DON'T FIGHT DOWN THE MUSIC. THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE! YOU'VE RECENTLY STARTED DJING, DO YOU SEE THIS AS BEING A GOOD WAY TO PROMOTE THE FORTHCOMING RELEASES ON THE LABEL? IT'S A GOOD WAY OF CHECKING OUT NEW TUNES BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY REASON I DO IT. IT'S JUST A WICKED VIBE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CROWDS HAVING IT, YOU SHOULD SEE PLACES LIKE GERMANY & JAPAN, THEY LOVE THE JUNGLE. issue31 ATM

DREAMSCAPE 22 THE LIVING DREAM eSp PROMOTIONS since 1988 Arean One Arean Two Once again the innovative ESP Promotions return to the home of Dreamscape, where it all began, bringing you the original multi arena dance event concept, hosting 25 of the country's top dj's and 7 mc's of lyrical delight. the Sanctuary Music Arenas Denbigh Leisure Park V7 Saxon Street Bletchley Milton Keynes Saturday 20th July 1996 9pm-7am ESP Promotions have always strived to give you the very best in all night entertainment. Keeping to our promise we return once again to the true home of Dreamscape, The Sanctuary Music Arenas. As you are already aware, the Sanctuary is a well established venue and your expectations of a Dreamscape party will not be shattered. We will put more sound, more lights and more production into the Sanctuary than anybody else giving you the unbeatable and unique style that only we can offer. We were the first to give you the original warehouse concept. We were the originators of the multi dance arena concept and we astounded you with the world's first satellite interactive dance party, linking up two venues some 200 miles apart. The Dream continues to live. As most of you will probably know by now Murray Beeston the founder of ESP Dreamscape was involved in a car accident and sadly passed away. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation of Dreamscape 22 The X Files at the Bath & West Showground. We felt it would have been unfair to you and us to continue with the event as we could not have given this event 100% commitment under the circumstances. Over the years we have always prided ourselves by honouring all our flyer policies: we do not blag, we do not skimp and we do not cut corners. ESP Promotions would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for your support and for keeping the Dreamscape vibe alive. We will continue to give you our 100% commitment to the dance scene, always breaking new ground.
