Part owns a Salon in Southampton Zabiela.

Does hair, nails and beauty treatments.

    Smallman1 I like to think this is how Hernan, Zabiela and Diggers will all end up. Side by side stylists in an up market salon. Mincing and reminiscing. It’s destiny.

        Brilliant thread mate. Can see you put a lot of work into it. Think Desyn would have made it to the top for me followed by Zabiela as a close second place.

        It’s been mentioned here already, but I think Desyn and other similar DJs really contributed to the evolution of the sound lifting the scene out of its recession in the early 2000s. Obviously this is what tends to happen anyway the sounds change and you get different trends but I think without it, prog wouldn’t have been able to evolve as it did. Not the only factor of course but a big factor from my perspective.

        The other ones that I think of apart from Desyn, SOS etc are Luke Fair and Add2Basket, both were quite underrated in my opinion but just revitalised the sounds and took it in a different direction. The Rogue Show, that Luke and Add2Basket did was just incredible.

        Nice one mate. Hoping to see other EM reviews for different years.


        Desyn wasn’t afraid of unleashing classics either. Remember him dropping Pennies from heaven in room 2 at Bedrock as we was swigging from his carton of Tropicana

          I did 1999 some time ago. Started this one and 2000 as something to do while working solo on covid. Help pass the time given it was just me in my house for weeks on end. Despite Dave’s misunderstanding, it’s a fun exercise for me all things considered. Even when the music is bad there’s usually something amusing or redeeming. Interesting to hear how things have changed and what holds up. But it does take time. Can only listen to so much in a day before it all starts sounding the same. All in all no complaints! Not that I’d expect anyone else to bother with such a useless exercise.

              Bet he wasn’t a smooth Tropicana drinker. Reckon he was all in on Tropicana with extra juicy bits.

                            Top effort @jonattonyeah

                            A right old pile o’shite you’ve waded through there. FIr play. Might want to consider self immolation before embarking on another one?

                            The category association / name-check might just be my finest moment of internet.

                            This is incorrect, I am not attending your dumb school.

                                jonattonyeah Fair play, mate. Wasted on here though as some bucket of monkey spunk will post a “Best EM of 2004” thread within the next 6 months which will morph into “Post your Favourite Sasha Mix” within 4 days of that.

                                I love my banger infused brethren.

                                    What a load of bollocks @LT42

                                    Your timelines are way too long to be realistic.

                                    Unless you’re posting from a K-Hole somewhere in the Turkish mountains
