  2. 2012-04-08 - Scott Bond - Like it's 1999, Republica, Sheffield

    in Judge Jules Audio

    Posted

    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!

  3. Favourite download store (for dance music)

    has Audiojelly.co.uk shut down ?? says that , 1 month ago it closed !!

    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.

    isn't >>> djdownload the same as juno ??

    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. And one of the hardest pieces of Trance to get hold of.

    l was about to post the t/l up yesterday but found the site was down. So pleased it is back up again, :D

    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 :)

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

    Turn it up and dance :)

    The Continental was where Bette Middler and her pianist Barry Manilow got their first breaks. 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.

    Hello all

    Unfortunately looks like last night we have been attacked by the spam bots!

    We are working hard with the webhost to fix it as there is another issue with our MySQL server.

    Hopefully we will have the threads erased and issues fixed very shortly within the next 24 hours :)

    Thanks for your patience.

    Regards

    I can only agree with all of you, although it was Jules's Friday night 9-11pm shows that captured me in 97/98 which just opened the floodgates to a plethora of dance genres for me. The musical memories I have from 1998-2001 will never be bettered in my eyes!

    It frightened me how short people's memories were and the realisation that this special period was being lost by BBC's non-archiving of Radio 1 tracklistings led me to creating this website and forums you see here today, to make sure we archived and captured the golden era's magical dance moments for others to enjoy and explore for generations to come.
