ScottBailey who are those absolute muppets that can’t name check Mars pump up the volume? They should be disqualified from ever dj’ing again

    nicksneddon brings a tear to my eye these tunes mate, Wide Eyed Angel beautiful piece of music - BBE Flash - not heard that in years. Mild klang story: Last year this chap moved in next door with his family - nice chap - scouser - Everton fan. Bit of football chat, best pubs locally, restaurants.. ….usual thing. So anyway lockdown happened and i ordered some new decks and was on holiday when they finally arrived very delayed. 2 mins after arriving home knock on the door - its the scouser with a large box which he had kindly received - Pioneer on the outside. Asked me if I did a bit of DJing and I said a bit of this and that - bit of prog not expecting him to really understand - well no one ever does do they? . But he says he used to do a bit himself in the 90s - I said where was that - he said at Cream - I said "“what Cream in Liverpool” - he said yes - and in fact he had owned it with his brother and run it for years. Gulp! Turns out next door is James Barton who has a million stories of Oaky in the Courtyard and being the centre of the world for a few magical years. Tragedy is that he has binned all his records and decks - just does festivals now. So I am working on getting us all a JC slot at a festival on a tiny remote stage ……my wife laughs at me when I say this of course! The irony is that I only went to Cream once and can remember very little of the experience such were the priorities of the time!

      Great Klang.

      James used to pull a decent groove on in the Annexe

      baggers44 will still have a soft spot for trance in that era. Amazing nights.

      Yeah, wouldn’t call that a mild klang. 😂

      baggers44 Nice one. Had some class nights out at Cream in the mid/late 90’s!

      ScottBailey he’s a really nice bloke. The missus got me that Acid House Love picture for my birthday last year - the one based on the 303 diagram - and he’s on it but he sort of plays all that down and is very modest. Anyway he never complains of the noise when I blast out the large tunes! Can’t believe he gave all his records away.

        baggers44 Turns out next door is James Barton

        Blimey, where do you live?

        At one point he was also Live Nation’s “President of Electronic Music” and was named by Rolling Stone as ‘The No.1 Most Important Person in EDM’ in 2015.

        It seems he’s currently the CEO of the company which runs festivals such as Sziget, elrow and South West Four…

        surely he has quite a gaff?!

          Smallman1 Baggers is a heavy hitting lawyer so will be worth gazillions too!

          a peak-time wrecking ball power prog lawyer?!
