I was taken to a rave in a field in the summer of 89 and had my mind blown. By Christmas I had a set of 1210s.
Early record shopping trips to Slough Record Centre ended up with such tunes as RSW – The Phantom, Leftfield – Not Forgotten and 808 State – Pacific in the box.
Raving in fields locally and then hitting Slough Centre moved quickly into clubbing and warehouse parties in London. The Park in Kensington High Street and Rage at Heaven were firm favourites watching the likes of Fabio & Grooverider, Colin Dale, Trevor Fung, Dave Angel, Carl Cox etc playing a serious mish mash of styles that really got me hooked on visiting record shops in Soho on a Saturday afternoon, trying to find out what I’d been listening to on the previous evenings adventures. I found my rave mecca in 1990 when I started going to Dungeons on Lea Bridge Road, that place was special, I never wanted to leave…
Skip forward a few years to the mid 90s I met the crew that would become the Irreverence Soundsystem and discovered Big Beat & Nu Skool Breaks. From there we started putting on our own parties in and around High Wycombe. Due to the success of those, ChesterBothworlds and myself paired up and went out playing Nu Skool Breaks at various nights in London and around the country and had our first taste of pirate & internet radio playing on FM stations Point Blank & Trilogy locally, then starting a regular show on NSB Radio that ran on a Saturday night for over 2 years. On top of that we also played regularly on Cutters Choice Radio after its launch.
The Full 12 Inches Lucky Dip is my current labour of love on CCR, after a few show format changes in the run out after lockdown, I believe I now have a winning formula, you can catch me twice a month, 2nd Saturday 4/6pm and on the 4th Sunday 12/2pm, delving into my record collection for your listening pleasure and of course, my own self indulgence, The Full 12” offers up a full spread of Electronica, Acid House, Techno, Electro and Breakbeat all heavily leaning on the Old Skool tip.
