These were extra special shows for me the couple of times Jules covered for Tong in 2008 as Jules had finished on Sat night the year before and so it was a rare treat to hear his house selections again, even if they were a mashup of his selections and the tunes Pete Tong was playing at the time. Two awesome tracks at least on this show brining back magical memories. PNAU - 'Embrace' [sam Le More] a very excellent under rated tune also, I think Fred Falke played that on his awesome essential mix that year. The first half an hour of that set was one of the most memorable a beautiful series of tunes I've ever heard in essential mix history. The other tune is just magical - Hidden Agenda - Lost Feeling. I haven't heard this in 10 years. Always great to hear long forgotten more obscure old tunes rather than the same old "classics" we've all heard 1,000 times. It takes the shine of for me a bit the more overplayed they are.

Feeling nostalgic about all the great days gone by, so though I would post a list of every time I have ever seen Jules play a live set since the very first over 10 years ago now aged 19, and invite others to do the same. Maybe many of us will find we were at the same gigs? I have quite a substantial log full of details and some of the momorable & crazy incidents that happend along the way so thought I would share it! I have seen him play 33 times to date, exactly the same number of times as he has been on the essential mix according to Pete Tong! Although most of the time I saw him was back in the day when I was rather obsessed lol. Well done to Tim and any others involved in still keeping this site going after all these years btw!

September 2008 @ Eden, San Antonio, Ibiza - Only time ever saw him Dj in Ibiza up to 33rd set. Technically you could argue it counts as 2 as he did main room set, then back room house set. Chatted at the end with my face covered in blue paint by Yorkie and his gang - Must have been f***ed cos was dragged out by bouncer at the end while trying to talk to jules for taking too long to leave and being last one there! lol - Had already spoken to him for a good minute or so 1st though! lol - Didn't want to leave it at that so spoke to him outside Eden after talking about my trubute tune, how fonzerelli was on his flight and how Fonzerelli was doing a remix of the tribute tune i did for his show. 31.) August 2009 @ Creamfields - Suprise "mystery DJ" set in the afternoon as he wasn't officially on the bill - He played stuff from house to drum and bass! - Video of it somewhere with Me, Laura, John, Miller, Lias, and maybe housey too - 1st time ever saw him together with many of them i.e Miller - Last time ever saw him in the noughties and for over 2 years. 32.) November 2011 @ Sessions, Vivaz, SCARBOROUGH! - After all the years and sets of his i saw and travelled to across the country and beyond, he finally came to me for a change! Finally came to Scarborough for the 1st time since I really knew of him well and for the 1st time in 12 years! - Only 4 to 7 years too late though for me in terms of when I would have gone the most crazy for it heh. 33.) April 2012 @ The Spa Complex/Theatre, Scarborough - Felt like a farewell set, one last salute to a by gone era as he had just left Radio 1 as well.

I have the recording of that show somewhere aswell lol. I remember him saying how it had come through as an mp3 that very morning and had to go "straight into record of the week mode" lol. Incidently about the new tracklistings design, i think it's an absolute disgrace. Under the new design it appears that only the most recent weeks tracklistings are now available and if u try and view previous weeks (which is combined now with the option to listen again), it just says "this program is no longer available" AND THERES NO MORE LISTINGS!!! :@. I find this absolutely mind boggling how the designers can be so ignorant and stupid, and in their puny mouse brains they probably think "Well if it's not available anymore, why would anyone want tracklistings?" JESUS! The big problem here is that they appear to have streamlined this new design accross all bbc radio pages, without seeming to show any concern or tollerance for individuality within shows. The producers of individual shows should be able to decide for themselves what is appropriate for a website for a particular show, not corporate morons who likely have no concept or understanding of what dance music is about or what it means. I regularly go back through the tracklistings from years back as i have many many shows over the years and they are of sentimental value aswell. Also I require past recent weeks tracklistings as i have them on sky+ or if not will listen somewhere where i can find them online. For example, I currently have a backlog of a few weeks of jules, tong etc shows which, as a dj, i need to listen back to as i havent been working recently and have been lapsing. Thankfully the archive is still available through the old links but only up until October when everything was changed. So from that date onwards to whatever the current week is, there will seemingly always be a gap. And of course great sites like this are the saviour and will hopefully insure the information is never lost, but it's the principle of it, and the whole flawed mentality and narrow mindedness of those in power with regards to the hugely negative consequences of their actions that they probably didn't even have the intelligence to realise or consider. I'm getting a bit philosophical here, and admittedly maybe veering off the topic of the thread slightly, but my fury over this led to me thinking more deeply and generally about the whole direction of society as this is just indicative of what increasingly is happening elsewhere in the world in terms of other scenarios/laws which violate civil liberties etc, all the time. It inspired me to create a quote which i think is quite appropriate... "A word full of people with different views, ways of life, and freedoms, will never be comfortably compatible with a world/society/authority which seeks to bring to together, control, generalise, and mainstreamise the tools, facilities, and institutions of that reality supposedly for the purposes of improvement but by hindering and violating what others hold dear in the process" Being a minority or a cult as society would likely class us for largely not being interested in the "mainstream", we will always be at odds with this "cattle led" mentality. As it is the cattle/public which are ultimately responsible for this as they simply accept things and dont stand of for change or to right wrongs. Often as they are not intelligent enough to realise how something is a problem for those who are superior to them. But by nature this makes us more intellgent than the "cattle" and therefore we can nearly always find a way round every restrictive change, rule, law which the cattle will not. So it's a fight, and i suppose we must look on the bright side of everything and realise that if the public/herd were as clever as us, then it would be much harder for us to get ahead in the world, and become far greater achivers than the majority of them .

Yes it is!!! Excellent, cheers! A tune like that should never go out of fashion. Thats the kind of record that should be played every week! Thanks again

It's not that track unfortunately :-(. Thanks anyway though. Hopefully someone else might still know. It does sound a bit like the style Haliwell would play though actually. And i just used cubase with the a1 synthesizer to make the re-interpretation. Along with just ripping the beat from a hoxton whores remix lol.

Hey guys, I have this incredible electro house record going round in my head from 2 or 3 years back, but i have no idea what it is! The style of it was a bit of a cross between that of the Hoxton Whores and Ben Macklin, and it sounded like a bit of an underground track so not sure if it was ever fully released. I think jules used to play it though, and I'm pretty sure Dormouse played it on a radio show he did a couple of years back aswell. I was listening back to the show a few weeks ago actually which is when it got into my head, but can't seem to find the file anywhere now . I tried shazaming the record at the time but it came back saying it was Another Chance - Sound of Eden, but that was clearly a mistake because it wasn't cos it had no vocals, and i'm pretty sure i've heard all the remixes of that track anyway. So, in the hope of jogging someone's memory, i have created my own short re-interpretation of the record. Link here... http://www.secondperspective.co.uk/Super%2...erpretation.mp3 I just have to have this tune cos it's so infectious! I'm even addicted to my own interpretation now which is nowhere near as good as the real thing of course! lol. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!!

Hey guys thanks for the replies! I would have replied sooner, but didn't receive any reply notifications as my email address was out of date! Part of me wishes i hadn't said it was a tribute to jules's sat show, then i might not have got so many laughs! lol. LOL about the gay come on one though! lol Note I said it was a triubute to his show, not a tribute to him! lol. I didn't set out with the intention of creating a jules tribute record, but it kind of evolved into that. I was happy to dedicate the end result to his saturday show though as it seemed very appropriate. Also, it's ironic that someone said i was right about it sounding like Duran Duran, because i was getting confused when i said that. I actually meant The Human League and Depech Mode! But then again a lot of bands like that were using that style of vocal in the 80's weren't they? As for the record it's self anyway, thanks for the feedback once again. Although i was looking for a little advice in the eqing department if anyone could help me with that? I'm just doing some eq work on the record atm as jules reckoned the vocal needed some eq attention so i hightened the 500hz+ range and pretty much muted anything below 250. The vocal then sounded a lot more crisp and clear and less "muffled". Then on top of that I then hightened the upper end and lower ends of the entire record as a whole, but someone else i sent it to reckons it's too top heavy now. Basically i'm just tryint to create that crisp "dance" sound. i.e most modern sound cards & cd players etc will let you adjust the eq levels to certain presets. The "dance" one always seems to reduce the midi and highten the bass and treble, and it ussually sounds better. So I figured why not make it sound like that by default, when the eq's of the cd player or whatever, are equal? Hence why i set out to do that. But then i figured what about people who always have the eq set to 'dance' by default? It's gonna sound all tinny and hollow to them! So i'm a little confused now. Surely a record that sounded crisp and basey by default would be preferable. Then it would sound better in a club for example without the dj having to adjust the levels manually? Or perhaps it's just not a good idea to mess with conventions like that even if the logic is sound?! lol The link to the "crispier" version below anyway, so feedback and advice appreciated. Cheers! http://www.secondperspective.co.uk/Second%...%20Mix)-128.mp3

I've produced this record as a tribute to jules saturday night show which ends of course this saturday and also really as an appreciation of all the great house and progressive music he's played on saturday nights over the years. I've emailed him aswell to ask whether he'll be continuing with house/progressive tunes in his new show and am now awaiting a response. In producing the record I have drawn on influences from some the greatest house and progressive producers whose material has been played by jules over the past few years. The major influences for me in making this track are Nu Electric - No Matter What (Jupiter Ace Mix), CRW - I Feel Love, Jupiter Ace 1,000 Years, Eric Prydz - In and Out (Eric Prydz Remix), and the phenomenal One Hit Wonders - Grace Of God. So it's meant to be a kind of mixed bag of all those influences really to reflect the general style of the greatest music (housewise) that jules has played over the years, aswell as my own influences of course. Theres also a hint of a hoxton whores style electro influence aswell in the baseline. The vocals, which i have also permormed myself sound a bit like something out of the 80's and I think theres a bit of Duran Duran influence there aswell. Link to 128 mp3 version below and feedback is greatly appreciated!.... http://www.secondperspective.co.uk/Second%...%20Mix)-128.mp3

Loving these 2 at the moment.... Leonid Rudenko – ‘Real Life’ [Chris Hoff] (White Life) Aaron McClelland – ‘Oklahoma’ (UMM) Good old McClelland/Fonzerelli just keeps on churning out the tunage. I must have about 12 of his records now even though I only 1st heard about him around Spring 2006 when jules seemed to play another new record of his every single week! After careful consideration, i genuinely would rank him as the best house producer and remixer of 2006 by a long way! Does anyone know much about him or if he dj's at all? Or even if he has a website for that matter?! I've found it extremely difficult to find out anything about him on the net.
