Monster mix.

Can distinctly remember hearing a few mixes around this time and thinking ‘fuck me this is slow. But reeeeeel goood’

Still stands up now against other warp speed pumpers.

Nice work on the track list @SM001 and thanks for posting @strummer

      Mad_Cyril Nice work on the track list @SM001

      There was a load of half-assed tracklists floating about. If you’re going to do something do it right! (A valuable lesson I learned posting a Spotify playlist once 😅 )

        SM seeing a poorly done tracklist get him FEWMIN and we’re all the better for it.

          alistair If you double the speed and replace all the tunes with shit ones then, yeah, I see what you mean!!

            This is actually true. 😅

              Homegrove the most surprising thing about that documentary was 2002 Sasha still talking about “shitting it” with nerves before a gig.

                Jesus wept. Nice one for this. Not heard it for decades. Memory memory fucking lane or what.

                    I don’t think you know what the phrase “Jesus wept” is supposed to mean.

                        I think you’re a gobby, ill-informed prick, son. But until now I haven’t felt the need to interact with you.

                        Now fuck off and don’t bother me again.

                            What in what I said to you was “ill-informed”?

                            I’ll bother you next time you make a tit of yourself - probably won’t be too long.

                                “Whats that you say, Jeff Mills has been playing this Serbian warlord-core in all his sets? Take my fucking 7 dollars and get that shit in my heavily discounted sale pile!”

                                @zackster was clearly most inspired by this period of Jeff Mills’ music:

                                      Remember getting CDs off Ebay from America with recordings of some of the Delta Heavy sets.

                                      Loved the warm up sets, was Jimmy Van M doing those?

                                      This is a stand out track from those mixes. Obviously lost the CDs like to dimbo I am.

                                      When I moved to the US in 2008 from the UK, Delta Heavy and Twilo were the catalyst of all my mates coming together and forming real lasting friendships. In a way this was their Acid House/Rave/Shellys/Eclipse period. Twillo even got various mentions at the wedding of two of them a few years back. Great group of people.

                                        Sister had got me tickets to the Boston night for my birthday and to this day I regret missing it. Couldn’t score any pills, so a bottle of Goldschläger, an irish car bomb, a chicken shawarma, and some mad doobies doing the rounds at the warm up party got the better of me. Barely made the line and had to be taxi’d back home.

                                        Friends and sis woke me up at about 3AM when they got back and introduced me to Domino’s “Burger Pizza” and I heard Northern Exposure East Coast for the very first time, Chicane, Little Bullet etc etc, so the night wasn’t entirely lost.
