Any idea what the last track, #18, is?
-
Tracklist correction:
21. Nick Sentience - 'Musical Rush' [Nukleuz]
I am surprised I didn't pick this up at the time or during my last listen as I was, and still am, a fan of the Nukleuz Purple sound. Jules announces it as Purple Twilight which is in fact the A side to Musical Rush (Discogs).
-
I remember being gutted I couldn't attend this night, as usual due to work commitments.
Quote14. Sosa - 'The Wave' (DJ Taucher Remix) [Additive]
This is an iconic Bond tune for me and one which is criminally under rated. Tension, release, emotion in the melody; great stuff.
Thanks for sharing this.

I listened to this show for the first time today whilst out for a run. I missed it when originally broadcast due to work commitments and I’d stopped listening to Jules when his regular show times changed.
Even though I had diverged from him musically by this point it’s still a sad occasion recorded here. I’d refrained from listening to this almost out of denial that this era had truly come to a close.
I know we had a separate thread for his departure (link), but it’s a shame to see such a quiet response from the board discussing this show given we are Jules’ strongest proponents, prepared to acknowledge and discuss his work at its best and worst.
Featuring Jules’ favorites from each year of his tenure in the second hour is a really memorable touch as are the shout outs from Armin, Marco V, Oakie, Dangerous Dave and Eddie. All of these are huge names in their own right, highlighting the massive influence Jules has had on electronic music. The Above & Beyond comment really hits the mark though; a radio persona larger than life but down to earth.
Perhaps bold to suggest, but Jules has to be up there in the annals of Radio 1 history with Tong, Peel and co, given the length of his career and the significant backing he once enjoyed from the BBC Radio 1 management team during the ‘golden years’.
Unfortunately, the emotional resonance declines as he heads though years in his retrospective mix. It was disappointing to hear Gladiator feat. Izzy and not the infamous Hans Zimmer - Gladiator (Judge Jules Remix). That said, it was poignant for him to drop Can’t Keep Me Silent and Alone Tonight both of which seemed very appropriate choices.
I’m not afraid to admit that listening to this has really generated nostalgia in me. Not the ‘happy nostalgia’ which is marketed and exploited commercially. Rather nostalgia in the old sense of the word; a deep home-sickness and longing for a time and place which you will never be able to visit again.
Listening to this show has also stirred nostalgia for this board, a longing for the time it was thriving and full of energy with regular new uploads of rediscovered audio, posts and a large following. Sadly, but understandably, we are left with the resolute regulars doing their best to share knowledge and memories of this time.
To echo Quadrant, a name we haven’t hear from in a long time, thanks for the memories Jules, you will not be forgotten. I wouldn’t have got into the depths of electronic music, DJing or production if it wasn’t for you. While I haven’t given it the energy and attention I’d like to have done, the boyhood dreams of following in Jules footsteps given way to a more humble career, it’s still a considerable part of my life. Huge respect.
The Judge won’t budge.

@Jonathan1990, there's a good chance the recordings you are after are in the archive so get searching.
As for your tapes, if they are no in the archive already and are newly unearthed recordings, there are a number of us regulars who would be more than willing to rip them for you and get them included.

Wow, Nice1!
Jan. 2002 sounds about right. He did a set in Denmark in December 2001 with Don't Want Your Love (Connector Remix) and Close Cover i think. And I know he also played the org. bootleg of '10 revolutions in 1' from late 2001 to mid-2002 if I'm not mistaken.
Fuzzy, have you though of having a YouTube section of the archive where you can post links to recordings like this, or perhaps the Gatecrasher @ NEC videos for example. Alternatively, is there an appetite to rip the audio and upload that?
Just thinking that things sometimes, though not frequently, go missing from YouTube. Also, while there isn't a huge quantity of recordings on there which aren't uploads of existing MP3s, there is definitely audio and video which isn't featured in the archive.

Track 21 sounds like a BXR remix of a York track to me!
Interestingly enough we were actually provided with such a thing but of a more commercial vein than techno BXR. The follow up single to The Awakening was of course On The Beach with the CRW Mix being the main feature of the release. CWR were made of some of the usual BXR players including Andrea Remondini, Massimo Chiticonti, Mauro Picotto, Riccardo Ferri. See Discogs for more: link.

Top quality show here from the beginnings of Jules' golden age.
-
There is something extra-special about 'bootleg' recordings that haven't been broadcast on radio or uploaded to a streaming platform; a hidden moment captured for eternity which only you, the DJ and the crowd at the time are witness to. This period, in the early 2000s before streaming took off and MP3s were the default medium, is fertile ground for these 'secret' recordings.
Thanks to Jules and Tim for the work here. It's disappointing that the rest of this wasn't captured, however, I think it adds to the charm.
I particularly enjoyed hearing Lost Witness which to me is another signature Jules' tune. Interesting also to observe the trends away from including the formulaic second breakdown from late-90s trance is gaining traction here.
-
Great set this.
I think it's really interesting to hear Jules from around '96/'97 as the genesis of his style we love from '99 onwards are all coalescing in an almost primordial way. The baleric house sound is there, drawing influences to his earlier house days, but full on dutch trance has yet to explode. Dashes of hard house, old style not the Nu-Nrg, are also filtering in.
Thanks for sharing this one.
-
Is this set just the Jude Jules segment or are there elements of Kelly and Seb? Or is this a three way back to back?
-
It is a conundrum; he's gone to the effort to bother recording/broadcasting these during lock down for which he deserves credit. At this point it's not like he's chasing the social media profile. The themes behind them are a nice touch too but the pre-recording and dodgy voice overs really detract from the output. What a shame.
I've listened to two now, this and the Kevin & Perry mix. Don't think I'm going to bother with another. Back into the archive I'm afraid.
-
I can't believe after all those years at Radio 1, live sets and studio work he can't be bothered to plug in a mic for these livestreams!
-
Great to hear these bootlegs; not broadcast on radio and recorded in the venue. Thanks for sharing this.
-
Grumpy Jase is part of the JJA experience now.
Just have a break from here and you'll be back at some point. You won't be able to resist discussing the tuneage.

Re-listened to this over the weekend and I think it is my favorite live Jules recording of all time.
Great tunes, solid mixing, tons of energy; Jules at his finest.
As an aside, according to this YouTube video (link), the female vocal is provided by MC Nova.

It's been a pleasure recording this with you Aza. Hopefully it will spark some memories for our JJ archive regulars.

Thanks for you feedback Aza. Watch this space; more good things to come!

What's wrong with CDJ1000s? Still have and use mine!
That said I am thinking of upgrading at some point.

I've been rather restrained with self promotion for my own product on this board. We all have little time to spare with backlogs of audio to get through, but I thought my latest mix may appeal to some of the audience here. A Hard Trance mix featuring tracks from 2000-2004. A few favorites from Jules, Eddie and co plus one or two less well represented classics. Wasn't really in the mood for 'progression' or 'taking you on a journey' so it's up tempo, main room, peak time from start to finish.

Top share and thanks to all involved. Really great to hear audio from this era even if it isn't from the man himself.
At the risk of sounding ungrateful for the efforts required to collate and edit the files thought, it would be nice to listen to the original shows these were extracted from.

Absolutely understand the drive for audio quality, however I would also suggest that a low quality recording is better than no recording.
To be clear, I wasn't suggesting having a YouTube channel for the archive to upload to, but instead having section of this site (like gallery, tracklisting archive, audio archive, etc) where you could embed those videos from others YT accounts. The suggestion of ripping YouTube videos to upload here was to mitigate the risk of loss on any platform and ensure these recordings are held for posterity.
I sknow I mentioned the GC@NEC videos from Rapture before, but I think these are a good example. It's Jules content which isn't just audio, potentially at risk of disappearing, of interest to this audience, historically important from than era and featuring it would be in line with the the ethos of archiving Jules' work.
I must admit that it hadn't occurred to me to approach the original up-loaders though, which would be a better all round but largely out of our control if the account is dead.
