Last Night 22/11/2014

As promised, Dublin's RSCH 14 took over proceedings for this week's Standard Radio Show, so it's four x four for the full 90 on this one. Taking over the whole show for the night they dug through their record bags, and went back to back with a top selection. If you would like to keep up to date with their radio shows, head over HERE and have a listen .

Thanks again to the listeners, and to our special guests this week for dropping by.

Frankie Knuckles at Power House Club, 1986 Opening Night

So much has been said elsewhere this week; for me, this video says it all.

As a B-boy back in the '80's, I knew the resistance many felt to this music (oftentimes a second hand received opinion from the 'real music' brigade, the remnants of the 'anti-disco' years, and the covert homophobia of Hip Hop) as it began its encroachment into our lives. As a kid in school buying those first records that slowly dripped in from Chicago, those first tracks that were licensed to be sold in Europe, I along with my friends would study the sleevenotes, the names, read accounts of what was happening in Chicago (and starting to happen to the previously rare groove clubs across the Irish sea), and could only dream of what was to come. So, it's been a loss this week - but let's not forget the legacy. It's great to see so many people who weren't even born when these records were first heard paying their respects in recognition of the contribution Frankie Knuckles made to so many of our lives.

Rest In Peace.

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 8 - 1990 Part 3

Finishing off the 1990 segment of this essential mix series, Zinc brings us forward as things got just a little more hardcore, and the Akai S series became as essential as the Roland rhythm machines, and the UK began to assert its own musical roots on the sounds of '80's Chicago and Detroit, beckoning in what was to come as things got that little bit 'ravier'....

"...this is part 8 of a series of mixes called 'Trust Me I Was There' - this one is part 3 of 3 from 1990...

..this mix includes the first release on Reinforced, a couple of tracks that DJ Hype was involved in, some classic Warp (LFO!!!!) the massive 'Mr Kirks Nightmare' and one of my all time favs - Radio Babylon..."

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 7 - 1990 Part 2

The second part of the 1990 trilogy from Zinc has arrived...

"This is the 7th chapter in a series of mixes called 'Trust Me I Was There' - these are the tracks that were getting played on pirate radio in London and in the clubs I was going to and playing at..."

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There Chapter 6 - 1990 Part 1

Into the '90's we go as DJ Zinc brings us Chapter 6 in the 'Trust Me I Was There' series of mixes. Things are getting ravier...

"Welcome to the 90's. This is the 6th part in a series of mixes where I'm playing the tracks that were big in the clubs/raves and on radio where I was. I've already uploaded 86-89, this is the first one in the 90s - check em out if you didn't get a chance already.

Please share this and any other music on my soundcloud with anyone you think might like it....."

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There Chapter 5 - 1989 Part 3

DJ Zinc concludes the 1989 trilogy with Chapter 5 of this fantastic series. Whether you're an old raver like myself, or you're discovering these sounds for the first time, you're in for a yet another treat..the various mutations of House are evident in this one; acidic, deep, Hip House... definitely a case of hold tight for the 90's...

"This is chapter 5 in a series of mixes called 'Trust Me I Was There' - these tracks were being played in clubs i was going to and on pirate radio in London. Clubs like Echos by the bow flyover, Genesis, Sunrise, Energy and the first World Dance! By '89 I was DJing a bit, at house parties and the odd club.
Radio wise, Centreforce was the big one for me. I think Fantasy started in 89 or 90 and that was another good one. Back then they only broadcast at weekends, and even then it was on and off - so when they were on you'd grab a tdk d90 for the rest of the week.
If i dig out any other 1989 tracks i'll upload em somehow but for now this is the end of my 89 selection :D"

Billy Daniel Bunter - 1988-1991 (Forgotten Old Skool Gems)

One of my favourite Music Mondays from the man himself Billy Bunter went out last week - personal memories for me encapsulated in just under three hours, of a period made up of waiting to get out of the misery of school, and into the joy of raving.

The music sounds even better to me these days. Getting on.

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There Chapter 4 - 1989 Part 2

Part 2 of the 1989 trilogy has arrived...

"This is chapter 4 of my 'trust me i was there' mix series - the second part (of 3) from 1989 - an outstanding year for beats. check out what I've always considered the first jungle tune near the end (then argue with me that its not, no doubt...) - suad £10 to get in. and spot the track with dj rap singing on it!!"

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There Chapter 3 - 1989 Part 1

1989 the number - another summer. Sounds of the funky drummer.

DJ Zinc you are really spoiling us. Chapter three, the '90's are dawning, and the breakbeat culture of Hip Hop is beginning to encroach more on the sounds of Chicago and Detroit in the coming melting pot.

As explained below by the man himself, there's more from this crucial year on the way. Baited breath to be honest.


"This is the 3rd in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - music that i was playing and listening to - this time its all from 1989, and as i was buying more music by this time there will be 3 hour long mixes for '89.

By 1989 i'd left school and was working 9-5 then spending all my other time listening to pirates and buying music. I didn't have enough money for turntables at this point so i used to chop up tracks using a crappy home hifi using the pause button. Luckily nowadays i have turntables :D"

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There Chapter 2 - 1988

DJ Zinc continues this excellent mix series, moving into the glorious 'second summer of love' that was 1988 - from my personal opinion a musical high point; from the media's opinion the beginning of a cultural force that threatened a certain alienating way of life.

In Zinc's own words:

"This is the second mix in a series 'trust me i was there' - the music in this mix is what was getting played in the places with a more relaxed door policy (places that would let in 15-16 year olds) and on the London pirate dance radio stations in 1988.

One thing i find interesting about this year (as a producer) is the contrast between the really raw acid stuff and the super slick vocal tracks - one of which was exec produced by quincy jones no less!!"

Hold tight for part three....

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There #1 - 86/87

It may have been a fairly grim year for music, but it's certainly been a great one for nostalgia.

With that in mind, here's another one for those of us as old as our gums but older than our teeth, and for those younger ones who yearn for a time they missed. A great set from Zinc; a chronological run through of the records that crept onto the pirates from about 86 in the UK, making their way to European distributors and vinyl compilations, to even reach the likes of us in Dublin - before the acid house hype, and before those who couldn't dance were forced chemically to give it a go, and join the rest of the world.

Grab the download here and join me in feeling young and old at the same time.

This mix is part one of a series from DJ Zinc, hold tight for the next one as I'll be posting it here.
