Good Evening and welcome to programme number one in a series entitled “The events as I see them, it may be different for you, and anyway who am I to say?” The summer of 88s club explosion not only radically altered the style and presentation of night time revelries, it also led (in certain clubs) [...]
Finger Light – Heaven (Bass Mix)
Some Italian Euro house grooves for you today, I picked this up on the Mammagamm E.P on the Disco Magic uk imprint many years ago, the pick of the three tunes on that release is “Heaven (Bass Mix)”.

Paradise Orchestra – Colour Me
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHCBV_NePGM] Another tune that features on the Visions of House 1990-1991 mix, not a rare record by any means, I think I have grabbed about 4 copies of this in the past from s/h shops on both X-energy and the Pulse 8 release. A perfect mellow paced house groove with great disco disco strings and [...]

The tune selection is largely influenced by a Mark Wilkinson who at the time was working for Flying records and playing at [...]

As soon as it came on [...]
