There's a good quality version on here from his NEC set at Gatecrasher in April 2001. The video is on youtube for it, but the audio isn't so good on that.

I recall finding another set he did taken from Rapture on youtube a few years ago, earlier in 2001 I believe. I remember hearing the Lucid Remix of American Dream by Jakatta on it.

I actually enjoyed this at the time. Dave Pearce always did this every Monday to Thursday out of Newsbeat. From when he was put into that time slot. I think he started the show that way even when Moyles finished at 5.45.

I do recall it left the 1210's vinyl, trance and house stuff about 2003. There used to be a mix, but it was more commercial and Radio 1 playlist based. I remember Faint by Linkin Park featuring in it that year one time, digitally slowed down quite a lot. I guess Dave Pearce didn't do it by then and ut was preped before the show. He was replaced by Sara Cox a year latwr, and then Scott Mills. As Mark & Lard left Radio 1 and Chris Moyles moved to breakfast.

Tiesto featured on Jules' Global Gathering live broadcast, on Radio 1 in July 2005. I have that recorded on an old harddrive.

Tiesto was virtually unheard of in 1999, he seemed to hide behind the Gouryella alias with Ferry Corsten. Until 2000 when his remix of Delerium's 'Silence' blew him out into the open. Now look at him, remixing Beyonce's Drunk in Love...

The mix of 'Down With The Underground' isn't Jules' own mix he played on here, or at least I don't think. It's less bass heavy than the one that made it to the vinyl release.

Ir maybe he played a demo remix that never saw the light of day.

This is still one of the greatest mixes Jules has ever done. All the speed garage reminds me of Resident Evil 2 on the playstation, simply because I remember my older cousin playing it when it came out. And he was always playing garage and trance tapes when I was a kid.

Just seen Judge Jules on ITV News talking about him. Astonishing what he helped start off, they'll still be playing his tunes when Guetta is long gone.

This is a great chance for the newer Jules fans to see what he used to be about in the late 90's and early 00's too.

They post some interesting stuff about Portugal. Apart from that I can't make sense of it!

For me Jules seemed to be at his best right from about 95 or 96 during the euro house era, right through to about 2005 for me. The trance era is always his most noticable time, but his sets through those 10 or so years always contain so much energy and effort. Can easily listen to a 97 show, then hear something from 2003 like creamfields.

The last Jules "point" if you like that I can relate back to, is probably that Essential Mix he did in summer 2006 with Sander Van Doorn. I remember staying up and recording it from DAB, he was playing stuff like Cherry Blossom by Marcel Woods, Team Sr Leaving London, Super8 Get Off. 2006 was probably the last year before things spun away for me.

One of my fave DJ's/producers right now is Shadow Child (aka Dave Spoon). He's championing the style which is a greatful breakaway from this EDM crap. Leftwing & Kody, Foamo, Hannah Wants, Gorgon City aren't doing some bad stuff either.

Unless the late 90's early 00's Junior Jack/Roger Sanchez style also makes a comeback, then it's about the only strain of dance music that interests me right now.

They did have CDJ's back then, looks like they kept them far away. Must of still been too unstable to use at a place like that.

Special times. Remember hearing quite a lot of these tracks played by a few DJ's, including a particular pirate station I used to hear around here back then. Such a long time back now.

I've actually heard that once or twice, all be it on a pirate station around here that used to exist back in the early 00's.

Jules Radio 1 show from sound city in October 1997 has to be one of my favorite downloads on here. The quality is a little bad being as it sounds like the cassette was played (a lot) in someone's car, but you can tell it was at that time where speed garage was huge. And trance was also starting to gain bigger recognition. It's the perfect blend between the two, and reminds me of certain times in my life back then and points where I started to notice dance music. It has a place on my headphones, full blast whilst I'm on the treadmill in the gym!

I was too young. I turned 18 in 2006, just as things started to turn 'electronic'.

Although I wasn't able to go out back then I did live the music as much as I could. House/Trance/Garage was my main interest, or dance music in general as to say. The three tracks that caught my interest back then was Double 99 - RIP Groove, Stardust - Music Sounds Better, and the biggest one that made me sit up and take notice was Adagio for Strings by William Orbit in 1999.

After that I caught the bug at an early age and listened to DJ's like Tong, Dave Pearce, a few others on local/pirate stations. And of course Jules on Saturday Nights. One of my main memories is watching Jules on Rapture TV back in 2001, playing at Gatecrasher @ NEC in Birmingham infront of thousands of people.

I lost interest when the EDM sound started up in 2007/8, but have regained a lot of interest now that is fading away with the Deep House/UK Garage sound re-emerging. But it still doesn't create the same buzz as hearing tracks from back then.

How about tone on about wanting your account details so they can move your monies to sort out a pigeon infestation in bank vaults!

I thought they were 'steam cleaning the vaults siirrr'!

I'm waiting for the one that's selling viagra, and wants my bank account details. You can always trust those.

I think the Kaiser Chiefs' 'everyday I love you less and less' works well at weddings.

I guess if there are 20+ year olds in there you could go up to 2008/9 way, can't really think of any big lasting dance tracks from around then though.

I'll suggest more if any come to mind. Maybe have a gander through Dave Pearce's old tracklistings archive, I actually find a few forgotten gems in there.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/davepearce/tracklistings.shtml

I'll have to have a look. I'll probably just stick them online in their entirety at some point when I have some time.

I assume if he still is playing out or even DJ'ing in some capacity that he isn't doing trance anymore. Was a really good show, always sounded as he put 110% in every week.

Does anyone here remember him? Whatever happened to him?

I found a few of his solid state shows from 2005 on an old harddrive, he used to present them on Saturday night back when Capital was Galaxy FM. I never caught much of his show after Jules moved to 7-9 on Saturdays, but it was always a good show. I'm sure he used to go under the alias 'Atlantis' for a few productions if I'm not mistaken.

Somewhat related. Sad to hear Andi Durrant seemingly being pushed out of Crapital, his was about the only decent dance show on mainstream Radio for me (around here at least). Loved the way he gave the nod to the old classic from time to time, I remember him playing Hands Burn - Good Shot late last year on my way home from Birmingham. He's been replaced by a playlist based show and Craig David... radio really is dying.

I was really hoping for a mix covering his entire Radio 1 career.

Let's hope he does arrange something like that before he hangs up the headphones for good. This E-Mix would have been the perfect opportunity.

That would be good to hear. If he does ever do it, I can imagine it being in the very last year maybe even weeks before he finishes.

I still can't figure how Annie Mac has taken Radio 1's flagship dance show and ends up playing R&B on it.

Andi Durrant is now leaving Capital after a disagreement with management there it seems, they are too obsessed about who Harry Styles is dating there as well. Massive loss to them, as I don't think they actually have anyone now who covers what he did.

All in all, I really think this could be his last ever appearance on Radio 1 considering he's finishing in under 4 years if he sticks to his plan. It could of been the final essential mix to span his Radio 1 career like everyone was looking for about the time he left, this time around you have to admit the entire choice and style of tracks was probably Jules' decision alone. I don't think Radio 1 management interfere with one off essential mixes. I didn't think it was all that bad to be fair, and he didn't totally ignore the classics which is a good thing.

Anyway I think he'll stick with this style to the end, even if UK Garage/Deep House/Bass will take over from EDM or not. I don't think he'll be DJ'ing either way when it's in full swing.

Since Radio 1 pick the B list celeb now and again to drop in, I thought it was Jamelia the singer when I first read her name in the press release. Should of put my glasses on, Doh!

Radio 1 always had those type of celeb obsessed presenters, but they always countered that with Mark & Lard, Moyles, Simon Mayo etc. Who did talk about things in the papers but had more to their persona. There isn't one presenter on daytime now that isn't foaming at the mouth when they are talking about Union J. Amazingly I think Sara Cox is probably at her best now and they are pushing her out, I find her more bearable than the others.

I guess employing Kelly Osbourne at one point proved everything what Radio 1 are about nowdays.

Eventually I think the Americans will get bored of the EDM sound and go back listening to Ja Rule or whatever they did 10 years ago. It just seems like a fad to them or the 'in thing', they don't seem to embrace it in the same way like clubbers over here have done even as far back as the Northern Soul days in the 1970's.

In some ways I'd like the Dirtybird type sound that Tong plays to take over, with a re-emergence of UK Garage too. There are already commercial strains of it this year with Disclosure and MK seems to have come back a storm since the 1990's, remixing everything. But on the other hand I'd like it to stay as it is now and keep it to ourselves.
