Back to the Old Skool

Posted by: John Channing on 02 November 2002

If you were too young or too old to catch the early nineties rave scene you can relive it at your computer through sites like
Back to the Old Skool. This has music and video of many of the defining tracks from that era such as A Guy called Gerrald's Voodoo Ray (1989), LFO's LFO (1990) and hands in the air piano tunes like Your Love by the Prodigy (1991) and Feel So Real by Dream Frequency.

I've been DJing on and off since 1990 and have some online mixes on my site @ brandnew.co.uk
The 'Instant Mix' is a good place to start for some classic early WARP/Underground Reistance stuff - to be followed by a slice of the 'KLF mix' perhaps.

Ahh, them were the days...

That's a cool site inkipak, I'm listening to one of the mixes right now.

Damn, Underground Resistance, there's a label I'd completely forgotten about. Where you ever into +8 and Novamute back in the day too?

Good memories for sure, I think I might have to dig out Clonks Coming EP when I get home.

Yes - I got some of the Plus8/Novamute stuff - Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman/Fuse) springs to mind, his 'Circuit Breaker' track was just the business.
'Acid Eiffel' by Choice (Laurent Garnier/Ludovic Navarre_FNAC records) is also a biggy which still blows me away.

Richie's just relaeased a best of, which is a good trip from the old Plus 8 stuff right up to date.

Richie's latest, a 12 " with "The Bug" is a corker, a real low frequency throbber.

This months magazine has a CD titled COME AND HAVE A GO IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HARDCORE, it's mixed by Brisk and MC'd by Storm. It's described as "no chipmunk vocals, just big hard-dance anthem". It's nu-skool hardcore and its pretty good, even if the MC'ing is a bit pirate radio. Definitely worth £3.85 for the magazine and CD.
