Historical Acid House footage If anyone is interested in seeing the moment when the old jazz/funk/soul underground dance scene was suddenly brushed aside search for Prestatyn1989 on YouTube. Actually as is explained the footage is from a 1988 at the Showstoppers soul/dance weekender (the...

I can't believe no-one's mentioned the passing of Pink Floyd's Rick Wright on here... This after all was a man who was a part of the group who were easily most favoured chill out soundtrack for anyone involved in the early Acid days and to be honest for many years after..."Echoes" for instance...

...other classics Unique "What I've Got is What You Need", the Jammers "Be Mine Tonight" Hot Streak "Body Work" (wicked intro and eighties synths) Major Harris "All My Life" Serge Ponsar "Out in the Night" (I think this was a rare European (French) track) track)...absolute classic managed to...

This was British and I had a tape for years from the Spring 1986 Bognor weekend where Paul Oakenfold as a kind of record promotion bloke is trying to speak to the geezer behind this and the producer doesn't want to know and Oakenfold is trying to calm him down. I had this up until the early 90s...

Same here along with going to my first Caister (and Pete Tong* not reading our request out on Caister Radio) and Bournemouth weekenders, coachtrips to the Goldmine, Flicks, regular nights at Windsor Safari and the Rio, JFM and Horizon, dodgy "If it Moves Funk It" sunstrips, Robbie on Saturdays...

I know just what you mean from my time at university as a mature student in the late '90s. I think it was because the used Oasis etc as an excuse for a kind of vicarious laddism that used to make it so unbearable. Laddism is unpleasant at the best of times but the kind of NME sponsored fake...

Oh yes Funkmasters...sounds of the long hot summer of 1983..I suppose it was pop jazz-funk.... The summer of 1983 to me was just about the time that hip hop ( ie "White Lines" crossing over, The Rake "Street Justice", Cuba Gooding "Happiness is just around the Bend" (sort of soul with hiphop...

Obviously not but as with most guitar rock a large proportion of their fanbase will NOT be working class. And that (notwithstanding the Gallaghers background) even goes for Oasis who owing to the massive way they crossed over in the 90s obviously transcended the usual indie=middle class...

Apologies for that someone had vandalised/made a mistake on wikipedia with the Gerald Ronson stuff and it and it hadnt been corrected when I'd looked him up...just when I thought they were getting better too...

Don't think it was particularly Northern (at least not at its peak) I was living down south up until the late 90s and happy hardcore (along with jungle) was the sound of vast swathes of working class kids in the South East as it is up here. Surely most of the MCs and DJs like Slipmatt were...

his dad is Gerald Ronson one of the top 50 (?) richest men in Britain (nothing to do with Mick Ronson)...his stepfather is Mick Jones of Foreigner...
