-si- Lol.
“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.

The state of your toilet, Rhouses.
jonattonyeah toilet got saved, I barfed it all out on the streets, some brownie points it wasn’t in the cab.
ScottBailey Love it! Fuck, I was just 20 years old then… for me it was a very special and exciting time to be party’ing. Everything felt so new and exciting.. I’m not sure if that was because of the time (the millennium etc) or the fact that this feeling is inherent to being that young..
Prob a perfect meeting of the elements. In the first part of the tape.. Is BT being a total douche hogging the interview.. lol
Miss the energy of those times.. everything seemed less defined.
zackster completely agree. in my third year of almaty prison in 1997 we had a burkenhead man who got locked up for a bit because no baksheesh. he played his bonkers cassette. even though the secret services were always trying to stick hot pokers under my testicles, I couldn’t get enough of it. and I am a very strict acid techno, and industrial, dark jungle gabber man. but that music was so innocently demented. that is why it is objectively less cheesy than sasha crying to epic house bt because it embraces being the joke of them all. Salutes from kazakhstan!
Jesus fucking wept.
IndustryStandard My mate lived with Jimmy in the mid 90’s said he’s sound.
