Timely thread resurrection, I’ve been listening to this mix by KI/KI this week. Banging but very nicely done – and reminds me that the build-up in Access is one of the great moments of dance music.
I remember seeing him at some of the free parties in the early 90’s
Saw him play as recently as January in Hebden Bridge and he was as good as ever. I don’t know how he maintains the energy and enthusiasm. Once a year is enough for me 🙂
We used to go to the one in London. I went to the 2nd bday party and it was so packed and hot they opened the doors into the shopping centre. Hundreds of people sat on the balcony overlooking woolworths off their faces. It was like day of the dead.
Charlotte de Witte was on BBCR1 Friday PM. A celebration of the 303 so some acid techno vibes. I like Charlotte sometimes, and this is one of those moments (although I do also occasionally think sometimes she’s left the same track on repeat for an hour).
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000tp1k there is a comedy moment when Pete Tong selects two of his Acid tracks and it goes from CdW’s up front modern acid techno to two very old school selections.
I remember B.Traits original broadcast that started this thread. I miss Bea on the radio and this was one of her best shows. I found a copy on Mixcloud once many moons ago but can’t seem to find it now…
Top thread. Acid/Techno was always my preferred sound ‘back in the day’. The proper hard stuff, not poppy Handbag House and Garage. Love some of the stuff posted up here. I have to refrain from a proper YT wormhole session, I’ve too much to do! But if you like your harder Acid/Techno type sounds, then check out HÖR Berlin; literally hundreds of DJ sessions. Boiler Room as well. So much stuff out there. Ellen Alien, Amelie Lens, Bloody Mary, Boris Brecha, so many. Fernanda Martins, Lukas, Sheefit if you want something harder and faster. I’ll even go as far as Angerfist and Miss K8, but that should come with a health warning. My neighbours aren’t keen on it…

I’ve got the scary feeling I might have been there. Does sound very familiar. I never quite worked out exactly where Club UK actually was; we’d wander the streets for what seemed like hours, to get to that place. Nowhere near a tube station. Used to really enjoy Megatripolis at Heaven; saw Sven Vath play there at least once. Bit more towards hard trance. **** nuts, that place. Trade @ Turnmills could be fun, but most people were so out of it by the time it opened!
