On the list!

I suggest those who want to select a track each give 4-5 options on here and we'll whittle them down in the end. Remember it doesn't have to be your favourite tune; more something you want to hear Jules play again -or maybe it's 2 tunes you wish you'd hear mixed together but never did. Whatever you like. You are right, 2003 I set this up but I suppose I'm counting from the fatal DDoS attack we encountered in 2005 where we lost everything, after which we re-launched with a new host, new domain, and new forums

Fuzzy-Logic, let me know how much they are and I'll split the cost with you. It's worth the gamble!

I set up JudgeJulesArchive.co.uk exactly 10 years ago and to celebrate I have asked Jules if he'd like to do an exclusive board mix for us, with whatever tunes we (i.e. the members of this board) fancied. He has kindly agreed. I also wanted to donate to a cancer charity for my mum who survived breast cancer only a few years ago. So, it works like this: 1) You nominate any track you wish by replying to this thread, and in return donate £5 (or your chosen amount) to our charity (now in the top right corner of the home page) 2) Once we have (say) 25 tracks i.e. £125, I will obtain the mp3s and send them to Jules; 3) I will then double the contribution made by all members, and donate it to the chosen charity; 4) Jules mixes all your chosen tracks together, and later we upload it exclusively here on JudgeJulesArchive.co.uk for everybody's enjoyment. Rules: 1) You can choose absolutely any track you like, from any year - but only one, so make it good! (please put all your selections down though as we may pick a couple of your choices!) 2) You must have joined this messageboard and reply to this thread to have your track considered 3) The closing date will be 31 July 2015 4) The Admin's decision is final and these rules may change at any time Whilst I set up the charity widget on here, may we have people's thoughts, dreams, wishes, and as many track suggestions as you can think of please!

I can confirm it wasn't unfortunately. From memory it was an early test pressing of Darren Tate's version - definitely not the elusive Jules Qontact/Homelands version. See my post above

Hi Rayzo, the audio is on dedicated servers so should be pretty fast. Please message me if you are still having issues

Welcome to the site and thank you for your kind words! Can I ask if you still have your minidiscs? We can rip these to mp3 quite easily and we'd be absolutely delighted fi you still have them in case there is any Jules audio on here which we don't already have. Please let me know Regards sites, I don't know of any other archive like this one unfortunately. There was a Tong archive with all his R1 tracklistings going back to 1994 but it disappeared a long time ago and didn't have any audio for download.

Nothing better than reading people's long searches for sets and then finding them in our archives. Enjoy! SpinDoc - the 2 hour studio mastermix (subbing in for Jules) by Ferry Corsten is here - one of my favourite mixes ever: http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/archives/board/index.php?/topic/3356-2000-03-10-ferry-corsten-mix-covering-for-judge-jules-studio-session/

Mitchmix, if it whets your appetite I know Simcut still has a few 1999 tapes to upload.... As soon as we get them digitized, they'll be on here

I love it that people are IDing tracks some 15 years after the broadcast... Thanks very much SpinDoc, hugely appreciated.

I downloaded a ZX Spectrum emulator the other week, brought back some great memories of the late 80s and early 90s - and no tape crashes this time! The original Wipeout was mind-blowing on the PlayStation 1 - was too expensive at the time for me to purchase though

I concur with a lot of what is said above. Radio back during the late 90s and millennium period was, for me, the only gateway to underground music. The "specialist" music shows where a DJ would showcase his personal record box, like Jules's 9-11pm Friday night shows, were absolute gold dust and for me were the only source into the murky world of DJs and clubbing. Not only that, but you could find out the name of these underground tracks and then spend your precious tenner if you were lucky enough to find the vinyl out in the shops that weekend. Every show was exciting and I'd be gutted to miss even 5 minutes of a show for fear of missing out on Jules putting on some obscure Belgian white label that would totally blow my mind. Jules's live broadcasts were jaw-dropping because for 2 hours you could put your earphones on and be totally transported right into the club, non-stop - and I mean fully immersed. Nothing beats that as a music-loving teenager raring to actually be there but isn't quite old enough. I loved Jules's 9pm studio broadcasts on a Friday even more, because again all normal radio protocol was cast aside and you just had an expert DJ in the room putting on some new tunes. It was as if Jules was in your sitting room, privately spinning some new tracks and doing some mastermixes for you. Uninterrupted, pure bliss where music rightly took the front seat above any DJ chit-chat. Wonderful. No radio boss will ever allow that again, and that's a shame. Nowadays, that old "specialist" radio show magic seems lost amid a swirl of annoying jingles, adverts, and radio edits heard a million times. Podcasts and the internet provide so much choice now it is almost overwhelming where to start.

The forum permissions had reset (after an upgrade) which allowed guests to post. I've now turned this back off. Hopefully no more bots!

I copied that directly from the BBC tracklisting which is the only record we have of it written down.. From memory it simply said: Unknown - 'Martha Artha', but after some digging we are almost certain this is a shelved Hi-Gate / VPL project. Jules told me years ago that Paul Masterson would have the master copies of these shelved tracks (whether that's still the case now I'm not sure). I just wonder why it never made it on the Hi-Gate album.

That unknown track that Jules plays - Track #14 - is another one of those random white label gems that he would sneak in and surprise everyone with back in 1999. I know we bang on about the 98/99 era of Trance but it was very special for exactly this type of moment, when you hear it in context with the rest of the set around it. Desperate to know what it is.... Here (do turn the bass up): http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/audio/unknown/id220.mp3

Worth bumping this given Kate Bush's resurrection recently. Not sure I'm right with Tilt being the true artist btw... I had a bit of email chat back in the day with the owner of Conception Artist Management and he had a little story on it... Never found out though!

Yeah there was news on it last week I saw, the PLX-1000 Disappointing they didn't include any digital COAX output ports or even USB, but given Pioneer's history they will not doubt sell a more expensive model in the future with that included http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/newsroom/news/PLX-1000/page.html

Massively keen on the origin of this mp3... I pestered Jules for ages to record his set but he said it wasn't done. Slim hope if Scott Bond's was recorded, the rest were too. Jivemaster? I was there that night and Scott and Jules were the best (tracklisting here). Someone threw a pint over the mixer during Scott's set which cut out the bass for some of the beginning... thus cue silly volume boosters to treble and mid - thanks to Fuzzy-Logic for finding us all earplugs on the night as the music was definitely a million times over the comfortable limit!

Yes, Audiojelly went bust in February - a couple of labels had already pulled their support because of late payments. I did wonder at the time how they were managing to sell even WAVs at 99p... Still, a shame they never made their 10th birthday. DJDownload also went in administration, I think as far back as 2009 or 2010, but Juno rescued them.. was definitely my favourite store. It has now shut down but if you had a DJDownload account you can merge it into your Juno Download account and get 30% off - http://www.junodownload.com/djdownload/

A blast from the past, thought people might like this. Worth a listen if only to hear the magnificent Tekknova track at 17 mins in... what a track.

Tekknova - Last Trip To Paradise [MD Records Spain] 04. Luminance - Plutonium [Miracle Records] 05. V-One - Clouds in the Sky [bonzai Trance Progressive Italy] 06.

Yes apologies for that. Our webhost performed some essential Heartbleed updates to the server but in doing so somehow corrupted some tables in the MySQL database upon which this entire site runs... All fixed now

These days nothing pleases me more to see previously vinyl-only tracks being re-released digitally. One I rediscovered on Easter day and thought I'd share "Cast your mind back to 1997. Dance music culture about to ascend into its peak years." (Beatport) Enjoy

No exaggeration from Jules in that interview above; House music and therefore all electronic music owes a lot to the great man.

Knuckles, born Francis Nicholls, was a teenage fashion student who would occasionally stand in for his friend, resident DJ Larry Levan (who would later rule the city’s legendary Paradise Garage nightclub). Knuckles couldn’t initially mix one record into another but he liked the vibe and he stuck with it. By the time he helmed his own night at the Warehouse in Chicago, he could DJ all right – but Saturday Night Fever had helped turn disco into a cheesy fad. Knuckles took action. He manipulated magnetic tape, extending instrumental passages on songs. He added a cheap “rhythm box” – eventually a drum machine – to his live mixing. In doing so he defined a style; disco-soul to a taut minimal dynamic. Abbreviated from his club night, this became “house”. America has a history of giving European pop culture raw material. A deprived black southern American underclass created the blues but it took the Rolling Stones to wake the country up to Muddy Waters et al. A decade later US cities nurtured originals such as the Stooges and the Ramones, but it took the Sex Pistols and London’s media to blow punk rock sky high. Thus it was again with house music. Many club styles have appeared since, but house is year zero. Once Europe got hold of it, a true socio-musical explosion occurred, rave culture was born, followed by tabloid hysteria and a sonic juggernaut that’s been mutating pop for 25 years. Knuckles’s innovations were central to that. He went on to produce major releases but it was his broader contribution that caused Barack Obama in, as Senator for Illinois, to rename the street where the Warehouse stood Frankie Knuckles Way. It is right, then, that on his relatively early death at 59, Knuckles is being saluted. When his career started, the concept of a superstar DJ or of electronic dance music conquering America would have been unthinkable. He has long been a cornerstone in such developments. Knuckles may be gone but the ethos he set in motion, the release of wild energy all night long to a soundtrack of thumping electronic futurism, is as invigorating as ever.
