Just having a clear out and found a mixtape recorded by my mate Nick as he DJ'd (fairly badly!) at a party in about 1993 (love finds like that and what a year!) But never mind his skills, I can't fault his song selection. Contains some absolute classics I'd completely forgotten about. I'm sure some of these have been posted before, but it's Friday so enjoy 'em again...

Robert Owens - Gotta Work

Class tune that.

Surprising choice from you mate, thought I'd be a too bit 'garage' for you.

Bit of a commercial one this.

This is one of her rarely played, seems to have been forgotten, but still very good songs.

Ce Ce Peniston - We got a love thang.

Ce Ce was always quite commercial but still good stuff.

So this is still one of my favourites from the mid 90s maybe not so well known or popular as other stuff possibly because it's nearly 15mins long.

That 2nd one's bonkers SG, needs pitching down a bit for me with a decent breakdown added [emoji23][emoji23]

One of the things I love about that time was how much variation there was. One weekend we'd be at Renaissance with Sasha and Digweed the next at Hard Times with Todd Terry or at Donny Warehouse with Carl Cox with an occasional Wigan Pier or at Gatecrasher night thrown in.

Is the little vinyl shop still there on Market Street in Chorley, opposite where McDonald's used to be? I was in there every weekend buying and sometimes everyday.

Yeah loved all the different genres of house music in the 90's. Only sounds I never took to was jungle, drum and bass and happy hardcore.

Townends Records is long gone debs. It's a Barbers shop now sadly. Used to spend hour after hour in there listening to vinyl with a guy who ran the shop called Ade. He was sound. He used to put all the promo's to one side for me and my mate and sort us out with VIP tickets to all the big dance events. Good times. Sounds like I might have been in there when you visited. Small world eh.

That's the one and yes Ade was sound and he did same for me too, in fact he leant me records if I was doing a party and wanted stuff I wouldn't normally buy.

It defo is a small world, I pretty much grew up there but have been the wrong side of the pennines for most of the last 30yrs and although it's sad to see Townsend records gone I believe Malcolms music land is still there up Chapel st.

Omg that was my go to shop for all my northern soul imports back in the 70s. Probs a bit before your time [emoji23]

That Jimi Polo one is a cracker Debs.

And the 'Don't wanna go' is so much better that the remixes from around '94.

I always thought that it started to go downhill in '94, the old vibe was gone. Maybe it was the quality of the pills, maybe the fact that it all started to get commercial, or probably a bit of both.

Living down on the south coast in '91 I had the chance to go to many free parties like this...

Skip to about 6 mins as you can't see fuck all....

9 mins and about 14.49 are both fantastic tunes

It's a great video to watch as it just encapsulates the mood at the time. Everyone off their heads and not giving a fuck, conversations going on everywhere, and there is a sense of togetherness but as ever, people are in their own little world.

Great times.

I know what you mean about the commercial side but there were still good clubs if you looked for them.

We started going to Hard Times in Huddersfield around that time and had some great nights but yeah the pills didn't help, I had some real shockers that scared the living shit out of me.

My music tastes have evolved or matured over the years, I still love the nostalgia of the early 90s and the memories when I hear certain tunes but I still collect new stuff, it's just I do it online now instead of rummaging through records in a shop.

I was thinking earlier today whilst listening to a recent playlist that I ought to start a thread on dance music now but then a late 90s one would be good too. As would a 00s one [emoji16]
