i think i'm going to spend some time downloading some more of those late 90's early 2000's shows i've been meaning to download, ready for next april.

But come on dubstep i really really hate that shit the most annoying thing goin it is
it's down to the fact that the radio 1 management seem to be shortening their age range all the time for the station. i first noticed this happening in 2004 when mark & lard left and they replaced them with colin & edith, a show blatently aimed at people under 20. now it's all about celebs and gossip in the day (hence why i don't listen) with b-list celebs like fearne cotton. i think even kelly osbourne had a stint at radio 1 at one time.
the real beggining was moving and eventually getting rid of dance anthems in 2007/8. some may call it cheesy but i actually miss dave pearce on sunday nights, it's hardly like switch took off in it's place either. the radio 1 management seemed to have been ill advised and are putting all their focus on dubstep, a genre which will have it's day and burn out like 4x4 did before a few years ago. pete tong is next in line without a doubt.

He's a legend - and he played a massive part in my DJ'ing/clubbing interest - but at the same time, he's been past his best for a while. Time to move on.
Hopefully, with his departure from Radio 1, it'll mean that he's playing music that he enjoys - not music that he feels he should be playing to appeal to everyone.
very good point. his knowledge of the golden era if you like in trance and some house is wealthy, especially as he was pinnacle in the years where it was at it's biggest. hopefully he'll do some sort of podcast or go somewhere where he can play the tracks that everyone remembers him for. as for playing out he should do what scott bond did and play the classics from the big era.

i find the chances of me listening to radio 1 at all in a years time very very slim. but i'm more worried about trance being forgotten, especially those tracks from the golden era. as i said above nobody will be playing trance on radio 1 anymore.

You can't say it wasn't coming with the wave of dubstep and Radio 1 turning more & more into a pre-teen station. But it's still made me sad:-

These changes mean that Judge Jules, Gilles Peterson, Kissy Sell Out, Fabio & Grooverider will be leaving Radio 1 next year.
Ben added: "We’d like to thank Jules, Gilles and Fabio & Grooverider for over a decade of hard work and commitment to music at Radio 1, and also to Kissy Sell Out his contribution over the last three years. All are incredibly talented and we wish them the very best for the future.’’
Judge Jules said: "I’ve had an incredible time over the last 14 years at Radio 1. I’m going to continue DJ’ing and I’m having a bit of a career change - I’m off to become an Entertainment Lawyer at Sheridans."
It looks like Jules' trance show is getting replaced with a dubstep show. The end of an era for Trance on Radio 1 as well as Jules.

here's a short insight to what it was like there back then:-
someone took this when there was no video recording on phones.

this is quite a set. there really needs to be a big classics night put on where stuff like this is played.

thanks for this!
i recall hearing this coming back from holiday in the car, and i remember dave pearce playing the dirt devils track; the first time i heard it. i remember writing down the title and getting it from hard to find records the following week.
my mind won't let the fact that this was 10 years ago sink in!
Judge Jules to leave Radio 1.

radio 1 seem to want to phase out dance music completley, sounds a little brutal. but if you think about it, artists like michael gray, tom novy, ferry corsten, ernesto & bastian, eric prydz etc. artists who's tracks were being played on jules' show a few months before got onto the radio 1 playlist as little as 3 years ago.
now in contrast look at todays playlist. can you see - if any, tracks you could class as dance music?
