This what you're talking about Tom? Says it's from a show of his called 'Spin Cities'. Don't remember it myself, just saw this elsewhere a while back. Edit; apparently he presented a ten part show in 2002 called Spin Cities, on a previous incarnation of BBC3.

Actually, there's a load of great older videos on Ferry's youtube site, in the 'From the archives' series. Would seriously love Jules to do something like that.

You'd need some bucks to get those three in the same room to play for you now. I saw some old Ferry clips recently where he was on some Dutch tv show with Armin from years ago, must try find it. Proper gurn on Armin on that second pic!

Just catching up on these Tom. Good stuff as always. Absolutely loving Black Printer and 777 System.

Nice one Tom. Been a while hasn't it? Will try get tuned in mate.

Just going through some old cds, and realised how many I keep going back to despite them being among the first I owned. This was the first mix album I ever bought I think, and I still love it today. http://www.discogs.com/Pete-Tong-Essential-Selection-Summer-1997/release/1750024 So many brilliant tunes, from the trip-hop sort of stuff that was big at the time, to some classic funky stuff (The Knowledge, Until The Day, Solar Mix being a personal fave), through to the thump of Schonenberg. Love it. http://www.discogs.com/Prodigy-Music-For-The-Jilted-Generation/release/663722 The first cd I owned. I asked my parents for it, to go with my new hi-fi for xmas. They soon regretted it. I don't, even 17 years (jesus!) later, I love every angry, thumping, bleepy minute. http://www.discogs.com/Judge-Jules-Pete-Tong-Clubbers-Guide-To-Ibiza/release/261238 Was a toss up between this and Clubbers Guide To 2000, but this edges it for me, as it first opened my eyes to Jules and made me go 'wow', while 2000 probably has the better tunes. http://www.discogs.com/Eminem-The-Slim-Shady-LP/master/12172 This blew my mind. Funny, disgusting, obscene, tragic, angry, manic. So much stuff going on, and opened my mind to a whole other genre and style. Was a revelation for me when it came out. Yours???

That's one of the very first vinyl's I bought, and funny enough, it came into my head about two weeks ago, went hunting for an mp3 of it then. Awesome tune.

Yeah, agree. I think he asks people to suggest a classic based on a theme on twitter ever week. Actually, had a look there, this weeks said: Please nominate a classic dance track for @RealJudgeJules, on the theme of Back To School.Jules will play his favourite on the show tonight!

Thought this was a great remix of it myself, but a real bitch to mix, really odd beat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwQUHuouvLU

I had this without the vocal, it was on the ZYX label iirc. Was about for ages before it got big, I think I had it in 98. Hooj released shed-loads of remixes. Great tune.

Welcome to you!

Sounds wicked man. Any new audio from that era is always welcomed with open arms! Not too sure about the uploading part, Fuzzy is the man for the audio I think. I'm sure someone who knows will notice this and get back to you.

Love 'Knetter'. That bass!

Nice one Craig! He's hammering your tune at the minute. Made up for you. Not keen on the sax on City Lights. Reminds me of those old Ibiza sets where he had that guy playing live sax over the tunes. Ruined most of them for me.

Much obliged. Thank you.

Is this the whole set? Anyway, I can't seem to download. It goes to the 'your file is available below' screen, but there is no link.

John Askews take. Spot on about the poll imo. http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/intl/50787/John_Askew_weighs_in_on_the_trance_scene_ie_vipers_nest_of_cnts “I play the music I have always been into. And so does John ‘00’ Fleming. He’s one of the few genuine people in this viper’s nest of cunts that has his integrity intact.” So begins the scathing rundown that trance veteran and recent Perfecto recruit John Askew delivers on the current state of the scene, which he claims has been heavily creatively compromised by DJs and producers seeking to scale the ladder towards fame. Askew’s recent movements have seen him slot right in alongside Fleming as one of the scene’s most outspoken critics, not to mention linking hands with Paul Oakenfold to help drive a renewed Perfecto Records stable (under the distribution of Armin van Buuren’s dominant Armada stable, no less). He’s also drastically scaled down the amount of DJ gigs he’s playing. “I have also cut away all unnecessary and hugely time consuming online self masturbation that seems to have become so essential for those who care about ‘working their way up the ladder’,” he told ITM ahead of his October visit as part of theGodskitchen tour. It’s this insistent climb towards the top of the DJ Mag Top 100 poll that he claims has much to do with the perceived stifled creativity in the wider scene. “The attraction of making more money and getting a higher position in the DJ Mag Top 100 is a seductive prospect for a lot of impressionable young DJ/producers and I entirely sympathise with those who get sucked into it, but I’m not impressionable. I make the music I want to make and enjoy playing it to an underground of like-minded people who are also fans of that sound.” Askew will take the stage at Godskitchen alongside Marco V, Ben Gold and Richard Durand. If you’re one of those “like minded people” who’ll be on the dancefloor, add yourself to the roll-call for your city!

And on the whole pyro timing thing, i just don't buy it. Surely someone should be competent enough, to be aware or even know in advance at what point the pyro needs to go off. It's not hard. If he has a team with him who do it, surely they've heard the tunes before, or at the very least could learn the one tune where 'big bang' button needs pressed. And if he's saying it's due to time, then if the earlier part of his live set is in any way out time-wise (as I'd imagine nearly all are), the pre-made mix cd will be too, unless he bashes it on half-way through a tune, right on cue.

There's more. See? We are just 'haters'. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/c8vsf8 Can't believe you guys are still going for it . don't you have better things to do then make up bullshit to write about me faking a whole set when i just explained that it was the last 11 mins of my set so they could fire of the special fx and all the fireworks , stop with your bullshit and get on with your lives , if it would be up to you guys we would all be stuck in cells without electricity and banging on a floor without a big show so you would feel better for yourselves not being there , i would never fake a whole set in my entire life and those 10 mins are part of the show . if you don't wanna see fireworks and a massive finale stop buying tickets to events where that happens and stay home instead . i hate when people make up a big story and feed on it like sugar to ants . make something better of your time instead of wasting mine !! if you would put as much time on your own careers as you do talking shit maybe a thing like this wouldn't affect you , i know who my real fans are and you haters are not my real fans , cause if you would be you would get what i´m saying after seeing the shows we do , you probably haven't even been to any of my shows and won't ever come so drop it , get on with your lives ! - SA

Even down to the lackey getting him a hair band and all. Uugh. Just total feigning of interest. And I'm pretty sure he moves the volume at one point on the mixer as if mixing it in himself at the appropriate time on the set. That's cheating the people who payed, regardless of whether he has reasons or not. Fecking set up ableton or something, don't take the piss. But na, we iz just all haterzzzzz innit.

Edit, he's responded. It's ok to play pre-mixed cds because he already knows how to mix, and doesn't need to prove it, not least to the thousands who coughed up God knows how much to see him. And he's saying it's to match the pyro? Doesn't seem too much pyro on the early part, that he's still clearly not mixing in. I just reviewed the clip everyone is talking about . so let me explain, when i do some festivals i have a team there that does all my pyro, fx and co2´s , + most of them have a synced “fireworks show” that is synced to the music so nothing goes wrong for the fireworks show since timing everything is extremely hard for them , so i have a medley mix i close with so they can have everything synced , most big festivals have that and its nothing new , as soon as your closing under a big finale you have that going on.. does that explain it ? i know some of you will still hate cause of the fact that hating is your game but i have now explained it and take it or leave it . i don’t have to prove myself that i´m able to mix i´ve done that my whole life and spend more time mixing then with my daughter so thats it . hope some of you understand , if you don’t sorry about that .. S A

I always suspected this was going on, but this is just so blatant. I don't think he even has headphones on at any point. Shameless considering the size of the event, and he's bound to know it's being recorded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAdMc_e3MpU&feature=player_embedded

Loving this man! On full blast to clear away the Sunday morning cob-webs. Thanks!!

Some of us are still there, but he's right we don't go clubbing very much any more. But I disagree with his view that the "older crowd... aren’t likely to be so musically knowledgeable because they’ve stepped out of the loop" - this is clearly not true; if anything, we are more knowledgeable, just perhaps not as up-to-date :thumbsup: I had just quoted that text to write a response, when I noticed you'd said something along the same lines to the same part. I do think this is part of the 'yes' man theory we have going, cos I really don't think Jules would really believe that part about over 25's not being in touch, just because they don't like his music. It's a bit of a dig at some of us nay-sayers imo. And besides, what age is Jules? Maybe he's right after all.

Really not impressed. More generic sounding, produced by numbers stuff, that as Tom says, had it been produced by some lad in his bedroom, no-one would bat an eye-lid. After all these years, and the fact that he was the last dj (to my mind anyway) to make a name for himself soley on his dj'ing alone, I'm sure he's had a lot of time and thinking to mull over this, and make sure it was something really worthwhile, or just don't bother simply because he didn't need to. Maybe he felt he needed to start releasing to stay current, I dunno. I mean, why bother with that though? I haven't seen him live in a while now, but any recent clips I've seen,it was still the harder edge, tech trance stuff he was playing, so why release that slower paced, lighter stuff? Is he playing that stuff now? I'm sure there can't have been that much pressure on him to put a track out, considering he lasted this many years and was still very successful. Puzzling and disappointing if I'm honest.
