What are you listening to? XXIX : Foolsgold, your audialgasms will never be forgotten



ha.... dude, I grew up in Dagenham in the 90s, the garage is strong with this one ;)

I said I really liked the garage mixes of that tune I posted e.g. this tune - but that the tune I posted is a great rework... and I'd disagree anyway, that record is defo influenced by the garage sound... not like the old stuff you posted, it's a fresh modern interpretation, would work well in a garage mix - of the right kind of tunes anyway (I had to track a copy down on vinyl for this reason!) - Four Tet has done quite a bit of garagey stuff if you listen back through his discography.

I probably have 2000+ garage records covering everything from the early house & garage crossover stuff, through to speed garage and then the real mainstream classics and then the early bassline/dubstep stuff :)

Personal fav old garage tunes include:

24 hour experience - together
Big Bird - Flav
Sound of one - As I am
R.I.P. - Deep Inspiration

...along with the odd oldskool garage bassline wobbler for good measure like G.O.D - 4

these still sound fresh to me whilst also transporting me back to parties in Romford, Boogie Times records, John Day's vauxhall nova and Passion FM.

The 'sound of one -as I am' is the one I'm most familiar of of the list you posted.
Never been that in to the garage scene but I've always appreciated it and at times visited garage clubs, there was even one near leicester square down in the basement in the late 90's. That was one of those places where it happens that you sometimes cum in your pants before you've even left the club....

I used to love those events - security was a pain (and OTT violent). I often wonder how I made it home from any of the events in Milton Keynes :D.

When the event used to finish I never knew where the fuck I was :D - great times.

They were amazing events at that venue but the security was the fucking worst. I have a tl:dr rave anecdote about getting on the wrong side of them at a Dreamscape and getting thrown out but in in the interests of the other members and cutting a long story short it was really scary.

I'd stopped going to the big hardcore showcases by the Millennium and as far as that side of things was concerned I just do the odd old school or D&B night (or when I was going out I did). But I went back down to the Sanctuary one more time in 2004 for the Closing Night put on by Slammin' Vinyl.

It was fucking mint and great to be back down there once more, but the security were the worst I had ever seen them. It was like they knew they only had one more time to blatantly break the worst kid of laws and as soon as the music started, they did. All night they were grabbing both the piss takers and the pushers but even people who hadn't looked crooked at them would just be gripsed up. It was really trippy when I was outside about 4 in the morning (just when you're ultra wangled and just as it was getting light as it was early July) just watching them casually escort escort folk, in front of the the whole bastard gaff, around the back of the Sanctuary where it's just that grass bank and a ditch to kick there heads in and coming back 5 minutes later making a show of rubbing there hands and counting money and the like. I've seen some crazy shit at that place and that would rank up there in the top 10.
 
I always did like their cover of 'Whiskey in the Jar'.

It may be shocking but theirs was the first version I remember hearing. It's definitely surprising to me because I can't go a month without hearing some version of it playing somewhere, especially in summer because tourists lap that shit right up :D

Got a linky Stee? Or are you actually listening to one of them old fashioned CD things? I like a bit of Tiesto myself...

I have it on MP3 - I have a shitload of Essential Mixes I've collected over the years including the entire 'catalogue' from 1999 - 2006.

I know this guy really sold out but when he first started playing over here in the late 90's he was mint. That 2001 essential mix is one of the best from that whole year. I last saw him in 2004, twice, first at Godskitchen Global Gathering (amazing) then a couple of months later at the closing party for Cream Ibiza @ Amnesia (shit).

I'll try and suss out the best way to get the file sent over to you but in the meantime Youtube have hosted it - don't know what the sound quality is saying though.

Tiesto - EM 9/8/2001 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEOQkRtTuqA
 
Tiesto used to be great in the early years and I have a load of his early mixes saved - really deep house/trance stuff. We went to see him in Ibiza and the music was just 'meh' the crowd was mainly there to 'see' him and not really that into getting mashed etc (loads of posers).

Stee sorry missed your post about the Security - I've been to countless events, legal,street, warehouse etc and I've never seen security like it. Of course you should be wary of security and they should have a presence but when they are literally kicking the shit out of people in full site of the crowd there is something seriously wrong. They knew that they could get away with it as people who are high normally avoid getting the police involved and they never had ID badges etc. I personally never had a problem with any of them and the ones that I had to interact with were always ok with me (usually when I was spangled and wandering around outside trying to find my way back in :D).

It going to begin
 
Don't worry about it Bear lol - you didn't miss the post! You only just around to reading it =D

The crowd in that Cream closing party were actually really good that night - Tiesto was just boring but PVD came on at 3am until sunrise and from there on it was just bliss.

As far as Tij is concerned I saw him do a 6 hour set at Godskitchen @ Code back at crimbo 2002 'Tiesto Solo @ Godskitchen' which was really impressive and 'jouney-esque' (I hate that term but there isn't really a substitute)

There's a bit of a write up on it here and some clipz from the night I cant spot myself though.
