alistair Do any of you bedroom djs want to do a mid 90’s proggy house set for our general delectation?

That would be novel.

    Talking mid 90’s prog, truly epic from the man like
    pure Up Yer Ronson Sasha

    Mad_Cyril Enlightening. Would love to hear the Temptations remix. Still used to play shite like Loveland and The Nightcrawlers though

    Think also double dropped ‘calm down’ on a fantasia house cd too.

    Does that make Chris & James handbag?

    -si- Luvdup is another 90s blast from the past. Used to play lush and other places over here also.

    In the mid-1990s there was a rave promoter in Toronto called Better Days UK that pushed a lot of epic house and progressive house sounds. LuvDup were huge with them and became a consistent booking with them, along with UKG Soundsystem. The main promoter from Better Days was a Manc ex-pat.

    Better Days UK are arguably the reason I got to hear Sasha, Digweed, etc in the early 1990s and learn about the emerging epic/progressive house sound coming from the UK that I love to this day.

      Part of the University of Manchester’s global house expansion study.

      This particular one, as I recall, was called the Winnipeg Holistic Outreach Programme for Prog Education & Research.

      Good to hear it reached its target audience 👍

        You have an odd fascination with Winnipeg and Burger King mate.

        Piker10 used to love their River Ocean Love and Happiness remix… used to send the students nuts down the Union

        LT42 Great tune, obviously too young for the original release but it tears up a classics night.
