Stay Gold is my desert island track from them

Seen them up end amnesia in 2001 played for 6 hours and absolutely thumped it out, also played in the Redbox a few times and were really good right on till flash dance came out and they became shit

Was the highlight in amnesia

    Heno Love that remix….proper thumping.

        Good tune that. Used to play the Gee Shock mix quite a bit. Oddly, the Trancesetters mix was probably my least favorite and I was a big fan of Jark Prongo/Pssst/other aliases they had at the time.

            Saw Deep Dish at Amnesia alongside Darren Emerson and Justin Robertson, may have been 2001 actually.

            Lovely stuff!

                  Heno flash dance came out

                  They started playing that in 2003, so you could say it was over then. It’s twice on the Amsterdam GU Toronto-release party-recording. 😔

                      It used to go off in the clubs (not that I played it), but I do agree. I have the vinyl though. 😃

                        His Underwater residency at The End was absolutely superb, one of my faves.

                          Homegrove I didn’t know it was them when I first heard it out. It defo went off, then it got played in every off license and supermarket I walked in to.

                            The only Deep Dish mix I have ever heard is Toronto. It’s awful iircc. They get the big s to the werve from me.

                              Stone cold classic Ess Mix:

                              What little I ever saw/heard about these, I loved them. I think I caught them at Shindig, heard a CD here or there and then I stopped hearing about them. They were loved in the North East.

                              Saw them a couple of times at Bedrock and they were ace. Then I heard one of their mixes from a later appearance at Bedrock and it was dreadful. It was the one with ’DDD - Let’s go’ on it.

                              Yoshiesque 1 and 2 were superb. Two of my favourite mix CDs ever.

                              There was also a Deep Dish ‘Cream Separates’ CD around this time that was solid. In fact, that whole mini-series is often overlooked. Paul Bleasdale put out one that was very good.

                              Moscow and Toronto were, unfortunately, dogshit.

                              If you’re seeking out more similar stuff from slightly later than that period, I’ve recommended it before, in my view one of the most underrated Essential Mixes ever:
                              https://www.mixesdb.com/w/2005-09-04_-_Murk_-_Essential_Mix

                                They went downhill fast with Flash Dance and when they tied up with Puff Daddy/Tommy Lee for whatever garbage they put out. And I can’t say any of their mixes did anything for me, though my first GU purchase was Moscow and I did enjoy it for a short time. During my internship with BPM magazine, I was their ‘bitch’ for an event, sweet fellas and they were going pretty hard in the green room. Can still smell the ‘coco puffs’ in that room.

                                Admittedly my vinyl collection is full of Yoshitoshi stuff. I once made a massive purchase from their site, and they ended up sending me doubles by mistake. Still have a bunch of them sealed. Some of the in house we trust mixes weren’t bad. Can’t find it on YouTube, but Brother Brown’s Brotha Brotha is such a banger of a track.

                                  You can’t have spent much time looking.

                                  Sounds a bit dull though tbh, they’ve def made better (Under the Water, Slap Me Some Skin).

                                      hugopal Naaah that video is the Wake Up release - the uploader got it wrong. It’s not brotha brotha.

                                      Comes in around the 24 min mark here - slow burning prog at its finest:

                                          rhouses the uploader is Yoshitoshi’s official youtube channel lol.

                                          But yeah it makes a lot more sense that the track in the mix you posted which says ‘Brotha Brotha’ in the lyrics is ‘Brotha Brotha’ and the other track is the B-Side.

                                          I still think Under the Water and Slap Me Some Skin are better though.

                                              hugopal lol Must be the same guy who sent me doubles of my vinyl order.

                                              Will give those two tracks a twirl, must have heard it before.

                                                Brother Brown at Fabric was good. Must’ve been 1999/2000. Under the water a definite highlight. Love that tune. Starecase with an underrated take on it too. Prefer it to the breeder mixes.

                                                  Remember that Mohammed is Jesus. They were very prophetic

                                                    Yeah funnily enough I’ve been listening to that this morning.

                                                      Saw Danny Howell finish a gig at the Electrowerks with the Starecase mix of Under the Water. Was Red Jerry’s night in about 2001. Scones

                                                        alistair Don’t think they could get away with that now. Same with Lexicon Avenue and Midnight on West 27th

                                                          BlainSA I can remember them doing some review in DJ Mag slating the Breeder mix.

                                                              I’ll always be grateful for DD for signing this beauty.

                                                                        Then in 2000 Yoshitoshi put out a ‘Remixes’ 2×12 which had both the Breeder remix and dub.
