STUDIO MIXES

TO POST, , DISCUSS OR REQUEST PIRATE RADIO SHOWS WHICH WERE RECORDED LIVE, YOU CAN USE THIS FORUM. ENJOY YOUR STAY :):):)

I thought maybe it's about time we started to post mixes from our old pirate radio tapes, to bring back that original old pirate radio & warehouse vibe of yesteryear. All mixes are welcome from throughout the 80s to 1993. All styles, but especially any shows on pirate radio from 1987-1992.

I've started the proceedings from a Fantasy FM show in 1989, converted from a tape. The mixing isn't all that to be honest & damn right sloppy at times, but it's all about the tunes at the end of the day. Also, there are cut-outs as I did edit out DJs talking, jingles etc at the time. I think the tracklist is ok, if I've left any out, please feel free to edit or point out. Thx & Enjoy :)

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DECIDE TO ANY RADIO SHOWS ONTO ANOTHER FORUM, BLOG, YOUTUBE VID, EXTERNAL SITE ETC WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THIS GROUP/FORUM/THREAD FIRST. PLEASE HAVE THE DECENCY TO GIVE US A MENTION ON YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL, BLOG OR FORUM AS OF THIS THREAD HAVE GIVEN THEIR TIME AND EFFORT TO RIP AND FROM THEIR OWN RECORDINGS ON CASSETTE FROM BACK IN THE DAY. THAT IS ALL WE ASK. THANK YOU :)

I still have the very famous DJ Hype sets from Fantasy FM, including the one with the L.F.O. mix.

I don't think anyone needs to ask which mix I mean.

Also, Sheffield had a pirate radio station also called Fantasy FM. When I was up there in 92/93 the mates I knew from there did a weekly spot. (DJ Ox and Mc Cunny) I was lucky enough to go and record the whole show with them, making billions of requests and answering all the phone calls from the listeners. I still have the tape of that as well. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh memories LOL.

langster
I still have the tape of that as well. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh memories LOL

What you waiting for then? Get converting my man :)

Thanks Teknonutter!! Have ed, will listen to soon...in the meantime...

Here's some mixes to start with from a big box of tapes that I recently unearthed from storage, and thought I had lost along the way!

There's a couple of shows from Centreforce FM in 1989, one from Danielle & Rochelle, the other from Players Kenny. The play-list from the sisters is a bit more on the commercial side, but it does really show how the DJ's back then were a lot more open-minded than they are now...how many DJ's play house & hip-hop in a set nowadays? Well it was 1989, and the year for hip-house anyway!

Luckily, I didn't edit out their voices on these two tapes (which I have done on most of my other ones), as that makes it more of a nostalgic experience, for me at least...those were mad, crazy days, the pirates being very much part of the rave scene...you can hear Kenny give out the phone number for one of the Energy raves ;-) Enjoy...more to follow shortly!

2 - Chillin FM London Dec 1992 side A
http://www.mediafire.com/?5l4lznmj9vg

Cheers bro! Did you live in & around London back in the day by any chance Tkon? Chillin FM used to be my fav pirate between 91-92. And Centreforce one of my favs throughout 88-90. Well appreciated :)

langster

I don't think anyone needs to ask which mix I mean.

No, you're right there. That particular show has become legendary. Excellent stuff :)

pramster
as that makes it more of a nostalgic experience, for me at least

You know what m8? I wish I didn't edit some of my tapes as listening to them rambling on, really does take me back to exactly that time, besides, some of the stuff they used to come out with was damn right funny :)

No teknonutter i never lived in london but i had mates who used to send over tapes now and then,chillin,fantasy,green apple,centreforce and rave fm being some of the best,'Anton in the house' he he.
Here's another great one from 1990,Njoi :)

Dj Randall on Rave fm 1990

Tkon

All i have to say is your mates must've been safe as houses! :)

Just been listening to that Chillin Dec 92 tape & i had exactly that mix, but I swear it was Dec 91 or the first week of 92 rather than end of 92. Oh well, my brain must be mashed after all these years lol :)

you could be right about that chillin fm mix,i picked it up on an oldschool site so could be named wrong

just had a quick run through of that mix m8 and i'd say your spot on there :))

Tkon
'Anton in the house' he he.

Indeed!:)

Have people given up on this 1 already,come on guys,there has to be more of you with some rare radio mixes for us all to njoi :))

Here's a good one lads,acieeed -

Richie Hawtin - Power 96 Detroit radio 24/11/1989

http://www.mediafire.com/?4x1ghdgqyjs

Can anyone tell me the tune @ 1 min 20 secs :))

I've also a Jeff Mills fom 1989 'ill post soon,you wanna hear the speed he's playing the tunes at,crazy,never heard the likes on an old tape b4 lol,must have fiddled with the 1200 inner screws,if you know what i mean ;)

No tape player to use to convert any of mine ATM.

It's not the radio shows I am bothered about, it's the 250 original hardcore/jungle/techno/house sets I have ranging from 1988-1994/5 and the 100 odd house/trance sets I have from 1995-2000 that I am bothered about converting :(

langster
It's not the radio shows I am bothered about

In my opinion though langster the radio shows were better than the sets,they usually had a better range of tunes and a lot of tunes you didnt hear anywhere else,i've about 1'000 sets from various clubs and raves and they mostly have the same tunes,so thanks again Teknonutter for starting this thread,should have done it myself lol

langster
100 odd house/trance sets I have from 1995-2000 that I am bothered about converting :(

I wouldnt bother with them to be honest lol ;)

I am not dissing the radio sets, just stating that I want my other sets done first. Seeing as they are all original they will be going on ebay as soon as I get them converted. My original Top Buzz @ Fantazia Second Sight sold for £60 not so long ago so even if they get £10 each I will be more than happy.

Tkon
In my opinion though langster the radio shows were better than the sets,they usually had a better range of tunes and a lot of tunes you didnt hear anywhere else,i've

Hmmmmmm, I don't find that with mine. Maybe though I prefer the tapes as I was at 90% of the events that I have tapes from and they bring back amazing memories for me, also the diversity of them helps. And I have pretty much completed or own my wantslist, there are only maybe two tunes I cannot name that I want to buy.

Nah some of the progressive house and funky house stuff from 95-97 was amazing IMHO. It also signalled the real end of my clubbing life as I pretty much stopped going out to what I would call clubs in about 96/97. I liked the clubbing years after years of illegal parties and massive events of 40,000 idiots and mad club nights where the place was rammed beyond capacity. It was a refreshing change for me. I have only been to maybe 5 or 6 clubs in the last 10 years.

langster
Maybe though I prefer the tapes as I was at 90% of the events that I have tapes from and they bring back amazing memories for me,

Thats fair enough,i didnt live in England so i didnt go to the events but i did dj here in Dublin at the time and i still stand by my point about event tapes not being as diverse tunes wise as radio shows,i have tons of sets from all the big name djs and for most of them you cant tell the difference between one or the other,all the same predictable anthems and very rarely hear an obscure b side which tended to be the better tune

I would agree with the big name sets from big raves like Fantazia, Raindance, Dance Planet, Obsession etc, but the Universe sets were extremely diverse, especially when they started having about 20 different areas of music. But mainly I mean sets from local club nights, especially my local area of Plymouth. There were so many different promoters using either the Warehouse or Academy (the two main clubs) and they were in constant rivalry with each other but to the benefit of the ravers. They became extremely diverse with their styles, especially between 1990 and 1993. They each had more than one room and the styles varied immensly. I seeing Sasha in 1991 on the main stage followed by the mentalist hardcore nutter that is Chocci with Mr C in the second room playing mad techno followed by some acid house style dj. Honestly the diversity in the club sets from smaller local clubs, especially from the 88- 91/92 years is so diverse they are almost like radio sets in the way that they were always very experimental and definitely not pre-rehearsed or genre specific, and aside from the odd one or two tracks that pop up consitently, they are all amzingly different.

When I eventually get them ripped I will post a few of my favourite sets on here so you can all have a listen.

Fair enough langster i look forward to hearing them then :)

Kev - Im a CLOG and therefore I nwever heard that 'famous' LFO thingy, u/l ya fekking scarecrow ;)

langster
88- 91/92 years is so diverse they are almost like radio sets in the way that they were always very experimental and definitely not pre-rehearsed or genre specific,

Exactly how it should be, tbh in my experience had a much better time at smaller venues than the big ones (although there were a few that were just incomprehensibly awesome! Especially 1989/90)& had more of an intimate vibe.

Here's another set I've found in this box of tapes I've recently found...this time from Green Apple from 1989 I believe...the DJ's are Shabazz & Nicky Taylor, which now don't ring any bells with me...

Anyway, typical of the era, this is actually quite a balaeric set...there is no mixing, and i seem to have kept all of the voice-overs.

http://discogs.descargarjuegos.org/release/52316
unfortunately all my old pirate radio tapes have been edited by me over the years and i just ended up with a few tapes with all my most wanted unknowns on(i posted them here several months ago)
so....
thx to everyone here who has ripped and ed their tapes as they hold some fond memories :))

Right, as per normal my timing is rubbish and I have ed this thread way too late.

TEKNONUTTER, your timing in starting this thread is perfect because after two second hand tape decks, one new sound card, too many cries for help, hours of frustration and months of false starts I have finally got up and running with the project to digitising my pirate radio tapes.

To say I'm excited is a little bit of an understatement...:)

# one is digitising itself as I type. It is A-Z on Pulse FM

Tkon
Have people given up on this 1 already

No I haven't. I only just started me ole china.

OrangeRider
No I haven't. I only just started me ole china.

Im irish.....lol,looking forward to a few mixes off you then OrangeRider :))

LOL! I'm not laughing at your misfortune, but at the irony of it all :)

Well, how did you sort it out in the end?

I went to PC World, purchased a boggo sound card and fitted it myself. Put my machine back together and hey presto it worked!

Bit of a miracle if you ask me. But technology was on my side last weekend as I managed to sort out my wireless issue, without the assistance of a voice sitting in a call centre in India.

The tide has turned cos mediafire has just informed me that it will take 10 hours 10 minutes to side a of the A-Z tape.

WTF is all that about??

Regardless, I'll keep digitising my tapes and will post up here en masse...

Tkon
Dj Randall on Rave fm 1990

This one is a beauty - thanks Tkon

TEKNONUTTER
Fantasy FM show in 1989

TEKNONUTTER - This one is a beauty too. Cheers mate.

Does anyone here have any mixtapes from Smart Boys FM?

If so, I would love to hear them.

I don't think that they were around too long, anyway definitely in 1990, and they were one of the first London pirates who consistently did amazing mixes...I think they even used 3 turntables, and certainly used effects boxes a lot for adding echoes to voice-overs etc.

I the style was quite breakbeat and dubby, ie they used to play stuff like like Depth Charge, Renegade Soundwave, The Moody Boys, Bonesbreaks EP's etc etc.

Tkon, just got around to ing and listening to your DJ Randall mixes from 1990...amazing set!

Sends shivers down my spine just listening to it, reminding me how good the pirate scene was back then...cheers mate!

Here's one folks - Hype on Fantasy - enjoy!

I don't think anyone needs to ask which mix I mean.

I obviously missed out on this one...would love to hear it...langster, can you put it up for us?

I will do my best mate. Keep you posted, although it may take a week or so.

I will create another link - this arvo...

pramster - as promised. enjoy!

Here's another fantasy one for all the peeps out there.

DJ could be Hype or Krome. No tracklist - sorry

http://www.mediafire.com/?jkm5hwtrxy3

Enjoy!

Another one...

Fantasy FM - Krome followed by Hype...

Enjoy!

http://www.mediafire.com/?smtmzm2mtmy

Another one...

This time Innocence FM - the file is called 17 11 1990 but it's more likely 17 11 1991...

Unknown DJ - no tracklisting sorry. Back in the day, I did have a tendency just to bung a tape in the machine if there was some good music coming out of the speakers.

Enjoy.

http://www.mediafire.com/?yzdveokmj42

Another one...

This is Jinx on Pulse FM (my favourite pirate). Lots more to come.

Early 1992. No tracklistings I'm afraid.

enjoy!

http://www.mediafire.com/?omjxsj1tjsc

Thanks mate you're on a roll! Anything played on fantasy always brings back the memories. Innocence FM they started out playing some brutal stuff.. Pulse FM Jinx - damn, how could forget this DJ? Anyway, won't be able to d/l just yet, but when I do, I'll give some :)

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my tape deck, so haven't been able to do any conversions of late, need a new soundcard anyway :(

TEKNONUTTER
you're on a roll!

Yes, I am but I think you know what challenges I had along the way :) Similar to the ones you're having (duff soundcards).

Fantasy for me was the daddy. I was obbsessed with Pulse FM and used to drive up to London and record the shows whilst sitting in one of the parks getting stoned - excellent fun.

TEKNONUTTER
Innocence FM they started out playing some brutal stuff

Fully agree - I'll post a Helium tape that cuts to Innocence for the last 15 minutes. Reminds me of the sounds you would hear in a Spiral Tribe / Bedlam rave. Crusty!

Cheers rider, will be d/ling & will check out. Pulse FM bring it on :)

The Bug Kann track is Triple XXX

That Space Work track is the bollox, I've definitely heard it before..

The New Era track is 'New Era - New Era'.

Btw how could Psycho D not know the Analogue Bubblebath EP? Shame :(

TEKNONUTTER - Thanks mate for the tune id's - most of the tunes in that Psycho D tape are good, the DD Hass is one of all time favourites.

jokinla
DJ Helium rox

All tunes that man dropped are as hard as fuck - he must have had good s in Belgium :)

TEKNONUTTER
how could Psycho D not know the Analogue Bubblebath EP

Strange innit? Especially seesing as he plays it after talking about not knowing it...

OrangeRider
Especially seesing as he plays it after talking about not knowing it

Lol! Exactly. Perhaps one of the other djs came in later & gave him it to play, or he had it but never knew what it was called.

OrangeRider
All tunes that man dropped are as hard as fuck - he must have had good s in Belgium :)

Apparently, he was good mates with the Automation boys, & you know they produced some wicked stuff. I him playing a wicked set back to back with the Automation boys at the roller express. He did like his Belgian, Dutch, & German stuff back then. Kind of stayed away from the cheesier end in general. Together with Anton, Dizzie Dee (both on ChillinFM), Jesse Jay & a few others. Helium played on Chillin aswell before moving to Pulse in 91. PulseFM was born from ChillinFM btw.

TEKNONUTTER
he was good mates with the Automation boys

ah, that does shed a bit of light...

TEKNONUTTER
PulseFM was born from ChillinFM

didn't know that - when did PulseFM all kick off then? The first time I heard it would have been September 1991.

Here is another one...DJ Stomp - Pulse Fm (17021992). Tracklisting as follows (any help with the gaps would be great)

http://www.mediafire.com/?mwzzbkweykc

Timebase - Fireball
? (wicked, wicked tune whatever it is)
DJ Seduction
?
2 Bad Mice
Rough Justice
?
Razor Boy & Mirror Man
?
?
?
Outlander - Vamp

Apologies to one and all for all the "?" - the mix isn't that obscure - perhaps, next time I will use our friends over at tuneid.com :)

Enjoy!

Ironic, you guys were just talking about Automation. That's your second tune, wicked wicked indeed. Automation- Ups and Downs.

OrangeRider
when did PulseFM all kick off then? The first time I heard it would have been September 1991.

Around late summer ie late Aug as far as i'm aware, I listening to Helium & Anton on Chillin plugging their new, spin-off station around July/August 91. Although Nick Power who owned Music Power Records in Harringay & Ilford had something to do with it aswell, if I'm not mistaken. So you probably heard it very soon after it was launched.

16:06 = Q-Bass - Hardcore Will Never Die (E Type Remix)

The one after Q Bass is >>

Blame - Music Takes You (War Mix)
then
Urban Shakedown - Some Justice
around 30:00 = Escape From Brooklyn - The Rhythm (Mental Atmosphere)
Then it sounds like mix of "Axe Corner - Tortuga" which I can't think of but might be a different track altogether?
around 43:00 it's X-E's - Vol. One - Rollercoaster (the one before Outlander "Vamp")

It rocked my world and got me into raving!

thanks guys for the tune id's - much appreciated.

Another couple of tapes will be ready for this weekend.

I think the track after "Sweet Harmony" on the DJ Helium mix is from the Oral B EP. But I am not sure.

edit: Hmm..maybe not. It sounds really familiar. I'll have to go back home and check.

The track after 2 Phase EP is True Devotion from True Devotion / Ghetto Boys

^First appearing in 1991

Hiya m8. terry123 is a guy who was in the thick of all things acid house & oldskool hardcore back in the day, & a dj on Pulse 90.6 FM. One of the leading breakbeat, hardcore, techno pirate stations north of the river. Big welcome m8, hope to hear lots of stories & missing links from you :)

Ok. So that track that I thought was on Oral B EP is not on that EP. My other hypothesis is that it's something on The Dreamaster, I should know, I have two copies but I haven't listened to it in a while so not sure.

Top man, top dj...

what became of A-Z? I used to make a weekly pilgrimage up to London to record his show whilst "relaxing" in some London park.

What became of all of them for that matter? I saw nutty jim on another oldskool site somewhere about 5 years ago. No mention of Helium anywhere, DJ Sky was on Eruption 101.3 fm for awhile a few years back. Jinx, Helium, A-Z, Jaydee, Funky Junkie etc etc

He's a member of this forum btw. Periodically pops in every now & then, hasn't been here for awhile though, nice chap.
Damn, I used to listen to that aswell, but in my much younger electro, funk, hiphop days!

R.I.P. & respect to the man aswell.
