hittin the sack to charge the batteries, goin out tomo eve after watching that..............
Ah, the heady days of the early 90s. Dancing in a field before a misty sunrise.
Will.I.am. ****.right.off.
Apart from that, not a bad program!
Oh dear god. I've got work at 9am in the morning, and I'm sat watching the start of this 6hr music marathon!
REALLY REALLY worried I won't go to bed! 😳
Grandmaster Flash?
Bugger.
*opens beer*
Aye, should be in bed, but grandmaster flash just came on. Just one more stella, then bed!
So mboy, you don't think there was cheesy mainstream clubs playing commercial music in the 90s too?
Course there were mate
I was there too!
There was LOTS more underground clubs than there are now though, by some margin!
I can vouch for the fact I'm a fairly rare breed, as I was a clubber back in the mid/late 90's and I'm still one now... There's not many of us in that category!
That man is a legend. Glasgow QMU about 10 years ago, one of my best nights I reckon.
Grandmaster Flash?Bugger.

Brycey, did he use the line "this is history right here!!!"....did in london 😀
check out his watch!!!
Think he may well have!
Christ, I've got a lot to do tomorrow.
I remember nicking some of those industrial masks (from where I was working) back in the mid 90s. Jollied up with some glo-sticks we thought we were mustard.

God...I gots to go bed. Reckon I will download the whole shebang tomorrow and just rip the audio. 6hr mix for the iPod 8)
good to see him loving the house vibe - he IS the Grand Master 😀
Enjoyed the programme and now enjoying the house party...however it would be so much better if there was a crowd rather than an empty studio!
Would like to see Eric Morillo, and Annie Mac but I'm fading fast.

If you can host it anywhere, or even just fileshare it, you'd be a mate for life!!! 😀
check out his watch!!!
A Technics SL1210... Quality!
Not digging him playing Avicii's Levels though...
Otherwise, very good so far!
true, he keeps wanting to see those hands in the air.....at least get some webcams going 😀
grand master smahing the audio bullies. rip those doors off
If you can host it anywhere, or even just fileshare it, you'd be a mate for life!!!
oooh yes please
David Guetta-esque crap that have the queues outside... But it's cheap drinks that draw the crowds in, and orange girls in high heels, not top name DJ's!
Nail on head.
My reaction upon entering a club is eurgh not that shit again, when it should be: Wow that sounds amazing, I've never heard something so amazing before...
There are a few house artists about, but the best music is in the past... My generation seldom get anything original, underground or revolutionary. Dubstep... crap just crap, can't even dance to it.
With no E, clubs are just like pubs with music.
Cheers your STW resident 18yo
I'm going to have to sack this or I'll be here until dawn.
Grandmaster Flash -
same as it ever was
word
Not feeling most of Flash's track selection...its all really obvious or crap commercial tripe.
Missus just popped her head into the man cave....
"We could be raving in the living room, what are you doing?"
"Bitching about it on the internet"
"Fair enough"
In other news my cat is chomping his way through several florets of broccoli.
its all really obvious or crap commercial tripe.
executed with no ****ing small degree of pinache though .. a rare ****ing commodity in this day and age..
especially on the telly box
good program, worth a watch i thought! makes you miss the good old days of clubbing, their are underground scenes still going but their not as big & widespread as they were, as odd as that sounds.
Interestingly a club in Liverpool that ran at the same time as cram through the 90's called club 051 has had x2 reunion parties this year in its old venue, both selling out & getting 2000+ clubbers in, I went to the first one, ame faces but all 30-40 now, same tunes, very odd but bring the great memories flooding back!

You're just being defeatist now mate... Just cos the best music isn't in the same clubs as it used to be, and it's harder to find, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The Dubstep you're being exposed to isn't proper Dubstep as it would be known. It's essentially the pop-ified version required to shift lots of units, same as the "House" music you hear in most clubs these days is just David Guetta making the same olf formulaic tripe. There's plenty of quality music out there though, you just gotta search a bit harder than you used to have to.
Good music never dies, it just evloves and changes and finds new genres and sounds.
With no E, clubs are just like pubs with music.
WAY too much emphasis put on E by WAY too many people IMO. Yes, lots of people are/were taking it, but you'd also be surprised just how many people weren't. Most of the enduring names of the genres weren't taking drugs (some were of course, but most of them burnt out), and the drugs usually resulted in what I'd determine as "short term crowds". That is to say those that came, tried it, liked it for 2/3/4 years, then outgrew it and the scene and don't bother any more, cos for them going clubbing was about the drugs and not the music.
Then there's me, and a select few, I don't even drink much less take any drugs. Been clubbing now for the best part of 2 decades, and long may I continue to do so I hope! The difference is that for me, it's all about the music and getting lost in that, not drugs/drink/pretty girls etc.

Biggie Smalls isnt your usual commercial tripe. Fair play tho' he's a bit vocal but he crams them in.
Missus just popped her head into the man cave...."We could be raving in the living room, what are you doing?"
You are a VERY lucky man, hope you know that!
Now get in the living room and show her a good time, stop bitching on the internet! 😉

There's a night doing that locally down here now. Monthly get togethers for what was a regular night back in the mid 90's, just before my time. It's funny cos I've been to the last 2, mostly music from when I was just getting into DJing in about 98-00, mostly quality stuff, even a couple of big names have played from back in the day (John Kelly, Jon of the Pleased Wimmin) have played. But like you say, it's full of crusty old gurners! Some people that took waaaaaaaaay too many drugs in their youth, coming out for a reminisce and not many new faces. Enjoyable for sure, not pushing any boundaries though. Still, it's nice to feel young on a night out which doesn't really happen any more! 😉
Fair play tho' he's a bit vocal but he crams them in.
I'm proper buzzing just watching that heavy OG just LOVING his job.. 😀
lets clarify something here mboy, no dubstep shifts lots of units, its really doesnt sell well (in the UK)
dodgy mixing, fat tunes, loads of energy, yes grandmaster!
that mix is genius
snap/chad jackson
he IS the grandmaster.. right, I'm tipsy now... must stop posting 8)
mboy speaks wisdom
Dunno about that fella! 😉
In all seriousness though, I class myself as very privileged not only to have experienced so much first hand, been involved with so much (both DJing and running my own nights), knowing some influential people and being able to learn from them, and having an enduring love for the music and a passion to keep it going. I feel very fortunate indeed!
And knowledgable as I am, to learn off someone who can lay claim to things such as being the guy who taught Goldie to mix, and owning one of Birmingham's most cutting edge (if not the most) record shops through the 90s, is humbling!
You're just being defeatist now mate...
Oh yeah, I've virtually given up on clubbing.
What was that last time you had a good clubbing night out like?
To go for a night out and not hear a single song that is currently being played on 4Music atm would be great.
🙂
the guy who taught Goldie to mix
....didn't do a great job, from what I remember of his sets 😀
Funniest was seeing him and his crew have a fight and leacing the room mid mix!

LOL
Show me the figures mate... I'll show you a liar! 😉
Don't do a Jeremy Clarkson and confuse your opinion with fact. Dubstep was born in Croydon, South London. It has had a number of years as a very underground genre, before it kind of exploded and got grabbed by the mainstream before it got turned a bit more commercial, but there's artists out there shifting huge volumes of *Dubstep* records right now, so much so they're consistently breaking into the charts.
*Dubstep - Not as you or I may know it officially, but at least what the artists that participate in it are calling it. Not quite the Skream, Benga, Zed Bias, Plastician and Mary Anne Hobbs style, but Skrillex and the like are really shifting units!
mboy i get the sale chart figures every day, do you? Id suggest you show me the figures that show a trend of dubstep selling serious units...
EDIT: ofcourse there will be the odd exception to the rule, but in general, it doesnt sell.
What was that last time you had a good clubbing night out like?
Last 3 times I've been out have all been awesome. I'm a LOT more selective about the nights I choose to go out on these days. I won't bother just going down town on a normal Saturday night, in fact I haven't been like that for a number of years unless it's for a mates birthday or something. But if there's a decent night to be had anywhere, I'll sniff it out!
....didn't do a great job, from what I remember of his sets
Goldie's unparalleled as a producer, but yeah you're right, not the greatest DJ. But he couldn't mix 2 records together at all a long while back, yet was getting signed to gigs on the back of his productions so he needed to get a whole lot better! He's still a lot better than a lot of guys you hear though, that can't do a mix without their laptop syncing everything for them, or totally mis-EQing everything.
Id suggest you show me the figures that show a trend of dubstep selling serious units...
Did House music ever have the mass market penetration that Guetta and the likes experience today in years gone by?
I'm confused now, cos all I see is an underground youth energised only by Dubstep, and I hear a lot of it on mainstream radio (ergo people are buying it)... Must be something of the age group, and their lack of desire to pay for music and download it for free, but it's very popular amongst the youth of today!
ill reply in depth with my 2 pence worth tomorrow
