You mean the localisn of pirates? I used to like that a lot. Funniest example I ever heard was when a DJ (I forget who) lost it on air due to abusive texts and offered out the sender and told him to "meet me outside Leytonstone tube in 20m" whereupon he probably would've got a bar wrapped round his head.North London lot are real diggers in that respect. My parents live close to Stamford hill. Funny thing i was listening to a happy hardcore pirate radio rip a few weeks ago and the lad was giving a shout out to mill hill. I have a freak FM tape where they give a shout to fracture and neptune (most probably the later drumfunk/breakbeat dnb revivalist pair) and the barnet massive. Could hardly imagine anything like that today.

Re. digging/reggae.I think the proximity of Stamford Hill to Dalston and Stokey probably had a lot to do with it.
So then the terms of your original point don't really make sense, if you accept that youth culture is not produced solely by youths
so you are saying you want want of those, but specifically for people over 40s, who make music?
TAKE HIM OUTlisten to our next mix coming out. if you prefer Dean Blunt to that I'll meet you outside picadili tube station with a crowbar.
i've gone off all that gabbery stuff you like, i'm more into trad 70s british folk.
did you listen to that 1995 epilepsy thing that i think is mica levi? you might like it but probably not
ok i'll check it out
At what point do you think this tendency kicked in? I recall someone saying here once that they remember "Back To 95" house and garage nights as early as 1998. (Which was possibly an exaggeration, but if it was, then only a very slight one. I certainly remember flyers for them when I was a student ca. 2000.)You can dance Go 'Back to '88, back to 92' back to 94' back to 98, back to whenever and I'm not knocking it, but it's just nostalgia
