  • Whatever happened to Chris & James?

-si- you’re not the only one. He does come across as a bit chippy. The honest answer is the high profile work dried up so there was no point in carrying on. Presumably didn’t fancy being low down the pecking order at a Clockwork Orange reunion in Es Paradis or Chelmsford race course

      A one hour set every reunion, sandwiched between Graham gold and Jason bye.

          My mate booked Graham Gold.

          20 people turned up. Including the staff.

            Completely forgot they remixed spirits don’t bring me down

              -si- 😄 Just above Danny Clockwork and Andy Manston. Bye is great at Mambo though. Class act

                Dan I have unfortunately seen Graham gold on four occasions. All absolutely shocking. Like a shit judge jules and that is a bad level to start with

                    Am good mates with Dave Lambert of Peach fame.

                    Being a Spurs fan aside, he’s sound.

                    Dreadful KLANG I know.

                    Also seen Dave DJ a few times at oscars and club art and he is certainly better the Graham. Was he not the A&R man behind positiva

                    Yep, worked at Strictly Rhythm and tonnes of others too.

                    Christian Can’t be as good as the Roach Motel Dub? Great tune that.

                        Dan never heard that version before. I agree it’s better than chris&james version

                          Graham Bold got buggered by HMRC i read. Loads of cash in hand jobs throughout the glory days never declared. HMRC had a special unit to focus on DJs and Bold was one of the unlucky ones. So skint he hoofed over to Thailand to continue banging out Goa Trance. Looks like he’s on the roids too

                            That was a feast for the eyes and ears…..from the scary screen placeholder, camp gold microphone to Mr Gold shirt off banging out Nukleaz back cat for 18hours……

                            Looking forward to the lockdown productions……

                            He looks carbon dated.

                            That’s what Ed will look like in 15 years.

                              Dan Graham is a good mate of mine. I’ve known him since 1999. He’s absolutely sound and his years as a DJ pre-date most of us even having been born - including myself.

                              He got a lot of flack for playing cheese, but some of that was due to pressure where he was being booked and also because he was on the radio, so there were certain expectations set upon him from promoters and punters alike. His heart has always been well and truly into the progressive trance/progressive house sounds. The stuff he’s playing and producing now is absolutely wicked!

                              He used to hammer my track ‘The Fear’ on Kiss when he had his show for about three months, so that obviously makes me even more loyal to him.

                              He’s also crazy fit for his age (66), absolutely hilarious, comes up to my waist and could out-cane any of us - so there’s that too. He’s a lovely chap whose DJ career spans five decades. He was more instrumental in the rise of house music in the UK than he gets credit for. Pete Tong was dreaming of playing records when Graham was actually doing it. Respect where respect is due!
