bosstrabs Hugo using the word ‘melt’ having just caught on to something everyone did a decade ago.

@Dan also called someone a “melt” in the Oasis thread less than a day ago.
@LT42 called someone a “melt” in the RIP thread only a few weeks ago.

I don’t recall you making any such complaints or observations then, you fucking melt.

      Hugo wears his Global Hypercolour T-shirt while staring at a ‘magic eye’ poster through the shop window of Athena. Slowly the word ‘Melt’ starts to form amidst the fractal colours.

      Hugo chose his 2003 Clubbers Guide-style avatar because lesbians and DJs are absolutely revelatory to someone who was until recently listening to Do The Bartman on one of these…

        …realise its not cool to shit on anyone’s honeymoon period soundtrack, but FUCK ME THERE’S SOME TERRIBLE SHITE IN THIS THREAD! 😂

          Do us a mix of all the above please Damo.

            I don’t know what gives me a bigger headache - Hugo’s posts or Mario Piu ‘Communication’ (Somebody Answer The Phone)

              Unbroken1 honeymoon period soundtrack

              Nobody should use that rose tinted description as an excuse for poor taste.

                  Amps It only took me 6 months or so to start to climb out of it, but mine was full of cheesy trance and happy hardcore. Nothing to be ashamed of. 😂

                      303abuser Never did it myself, went straight from punk and hip hop, to DJ Shadow and Hardkiss and then Sasha and John.

                          Whoever started this absolute disaster of a thread should be shot / banned for life.

                          Amps I think it’s a function of location too. Proper house and techno here is something you really have to search out.

                              shut the fuck up, and post something shameful Damien

                              THIS IS OUR SAFE SPACE

                                  303abuser Yeah, fair point. I had to really search for the west coast punk stuff over here, but was spoiled for all things house and techno.

                                      Amps The first person I heard playing that West Coast Hardkiss stuff was Norman Cook, obviously pre Fatboy.

                                          Dan Yeah, there was a bit of a ‘all breaks, all in together’ thing early doors before the lines where drawn. The Chems used to play Raincry.

                                              Amps One of the smaller rooms at Bugged Out always had this kinda wonky breaks.

                                                NasserAlazzawi …got plenty of stuff that’s aged very badly (I’m certainly not like Mr C who never bought an embarrassing record in his life… apparently), but not much of it would fit into the Cream/'Crasher trance bracket- altho there was def some crossover with the prog-trance sound of the time (one or two bits above, Moguai mix of Seven Days, some of the Hooj stuff).

                                                I’ve always maintained that this was the end of ‘prog’ that I liked the least though (has certainly aged the least well). A lot of the more commercial trance completely passed me by. Quite a lot in this thread was what the likes of Jules/Dave Pearce was playing on R1, and Graham Gold on Kiss, and I’m honestly not sure was played in London that much, maybe with the exception of Peach and The Gallery (which also had some ‘proper’ prog DJ’s on).

                                                Amps …I dunno, as proven by this thread, ecstasy is a very powerful drug.

                                                Millsy …absolutely not.
