It has been a long time since I have posted anything relating to the early progressive house tracks that emerged in 1991 and continued onwards, championed by some bloke up North called Sasha, and quite a few people in the South in that big over sprawling mess called London. A decent chap called Colin Gee [...]
Mix Tape Favourites #8 – DJ Mark Wilkinson 1992
Another tape from the dusty shoebox that has followed me around for the last 19 years and survived the failed tape lending scheme, tape tea leaves, blaggers and session hawkers. This one of three tape I had from DJ Mark Wilkinson, one from 1991 and two others from 1992. Sadly I have lost one of [...]
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)”. The track Mammagamma is a 90′s Euro House remake of Alan Parsons Project 80′s Balearic chugger, not [...]

The title track is remake of the infamous Vangelis song, from the cult film Bladerunner, but there is also a gem on the B-Side called Blade In which is [...]

The Diceman – Quad
As mentioned before on previous post I was a sucker for the early UK progressive house tunes that were coming out in late 91 and early 92 on labels such as Cowboy, Guerilla, Limbo, Junk Rock etc. I have fond memories of attending the DIY party tucked away in the Sussex downs at Plumbton, East [...]

Eskimos & Egypt – UK:USA (Cheetham Hill Mix)
Eskimos & Eygpt were a bit of an oddity to me back in the day, I was never a big fan of them. But there was one mix if a tune that came out that sounded so far apart from the original that it was very palatable, in fact this tune was an underground monster, [...]
