Electronic Beats TV: Blind Test

ScottBailey

Was expecting some more early Platipus to feature to be honest

ScottBailey I enjoy these. As well as revelling in the djs historical ignorance, it puts me in touch with some classics that I wasn’t aware of. X Cabs neuro for instance. It is insane how good much of the trance between 90 and 96 was. Trance Wax/Ejeca is a fab producer but only got half of them

alistair

Would love to hear a 90’s trance set from one of my DJ friends if anyone wants to take up the cudgels.

alistair I’ve already done a PvD tribute mix a couple of years ago, but it was more like early to mid-2000’s tracks.

I used to have quite a lot of 90s stuff on vinyl, but it all stayed at the family home when I moved to London on a whim, way back when. Subsequently found out that it all got thrown into a skip when they decided to decorate after I’d left. Broke my heart!

alistair I did an Oakenfold / Cream one if that’s any use

ScottBailey remember watching PvD record his live EM at the Gallery Turnmills in 99. One of my fave nights that. Atmosphere/anticipation electric and he smashed it. Much better than Oakie in my opinion back then.

SM001

Genuinely would never speak to them again.

wtf did PVD do of note during those years?! The last two tracks of his I remember being aware of at the time were Avenue and Namistai, and those were both 99/00.

alistair if you wanted to give it a whirl: -

SM001 I still have a very small fraction of hope that they’re still in the loft, but mum has rented out that house for over a decade and she’s said that there’s nothing left of mine in there now. It definitely didn’t move with her to their new place, so pretty sure it’s all gone. Probably did it out of spite for all those years I spent practicing!

ScottBailey

hugopal there’s a track called Time Traveller on there, think I played The Other Side, and I think I also played one or two of his remixes. The other tracks were stuff he was playing around that time. Remembered watching him a Gatecrasher Summer Sound System in 2000 and with all the lasers going it was pretty epic. Was trying to make something that reminded of of that time.

alistair

nicksneddon yes please, would like to hear. I am all for a bit of fun nostalgia at the moment.

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!

nicksneddon the tracklist is cut off half-way…

alistair

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

ScottBailey

baggers44 use to like watching Cream on Sky One. James Barton always came off as a decent fella.

Matt

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

hugopal

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?!
