it’s so fast . May have to dig it out and see what it sounds like -8
Got on the 1200s last night and busted out Moroccan Blonde on Plastic Fantastic , which had to get played at -8. What was going on back then to make 134bpm the norm 
Interview with Sasha & Darren Emerson on the making of Scorchio
IndustryStandard you all had much higher T
Dan Well said.
Funny to hear ol’ baldy speaking so fondly of the Gardening Club (where I cut my raving teeth week in, week out through the early 90s). I’ll never forget him coming on to close at 4am - following a rip snorting couple of sets by the kings of the underground (!), Brandon Block and Jezza Healy - and completely clearing the dancefloor with a self-indulgent 15 minute, beatlesss epic house intro. We all fucked off through that dark, dank passage to the Rock Garden to dance to Rocky and Diesel (the fuck happened to them btw?!).
Halcyon days. If you’d told me then I’d still be doing this on the cusp of 50 I’d have been horrified by my future self. And rightly so.
elrobertos Rocky and Diesel have just released a new X-Press 2 album and still gig. We booked Diesel years ago… Top bloke.
Dan They were great DJs when I heard them back then. But I’ll never forgive “Lazy”. Conflicted.
elrobertos How dare you slate a Pete Tong essential new tune… He also recommended this one about the same time
I remember hearing some mixes from djs around then with some West Coast tech house, prog stuff and then they would whack in Lazy. Why… Just why… I never heard it on the dancefloor so maybe something magical happened then and it turned into a dancefloor destroyer. I doubt it.
Rhouses would have been there ‘rocking it’ to that.
zackster No wonder I had about 6% body fat in those days.
Have to say sasha played a blinder in derry in August, went a lot deeper than I thought he would. The old guys still doing it and out lasting the young ones, seems to be a revival going on at the minute.
Diggers MBB was doop. The bald one played it too. His MBB was Alex party - read my lips.
He also destroyed his 94 essential mix with Diddy - Give Me Love .
Rhouses and Dave along in a mo to tell us all how great Diddy is.
It was vibing in that room when tongy dropped it.
hated read my lips. worst thing on clevland city apart from tony de bart
Aye that’s also completely shite. Que club Sasha played it twice in one night. Slags loved it.
but is this worse
Cankles-McJeggings Totally ruins that EM. As does Direct 2 Disc on the unplugged mix.
I think i like scorchio more now than i did back then.
Same. It’s a top quality production for sure with the usual CM magical layers, but it didn’t quite do it for me at the time. There should’ve been another dub version that draws out the more heads down parts of it.
Who played that? The bald one?
