Late to the party, through going off the social gr Late to the party, through going off the social grid, but I watched ‘Drum & Bass: The Movement’ ~ documentary on YT last night. So I’m revisiting Groove’s Prototype Years this morn 🤘😆 I bought the vinyl way back then, so that I could spin ‘Secrets’ by @johnbbeta . I remember hearing that tune for the first time, high, in a mates car 🥴 (That used to happen a lot. But those days are long gone). What a seriously sick compilation! Decent doc too. #drumandbass #dnb #grooverider @djgrooverider #musicdocumentary #musichistory #musicheritage

This is the first record that I ever played in a p This is the first record that I ever played in a public venue. 21 years ago in Manchester’s iconic Dry Bar. One of my favourite intros to any track... Dave Wallace (of Aquasky) remix of ‘Walking Wounded’ by Everything But The Girl (1996). Resident DJ Chris Jam invited Esper and myself down to spin. Playing D&B back then was a risk. It had a bad reputation and many venue managers just didn’t want it. But Dry Bar was different. This was a quiet Thursday night, but we got people dancing to some beautiful D&B. Dry Bar sadly closed a few years ago. It was opened in 1989 by Anthony Wilson & Factory Records as a sister venue to the infamous Hacienda nightclub. Its groundbreaking interior was designed by Ben Kelly. Laurent Garnier was a chef at Dry Bar then, before making the switch to DJing at The Hacienda. I never made it to the Hac, it closed a month before I moved to Manchester in ‘97. Around the same time Hale Leisure acquired Dry Bar. After finishing university, in 2000 I worked for Hale Leisure in many of their city centre bars, as a chef by day and a DJ by night. At the turn of the new millennium there was a fantastic hip hop, live beats & mic night at Dry Bar called Eardrum. By then, the hedonistic spirit of peak Hacienda and those early Dry Bar days had long since evaporated, but Manchester’s Northern Quarter bar scene was beginning to flourish, Dry Bar’s influence was obvious. #everythingbutthegirl #ebtg #davewallace #aquasky #drumandbass #dnb #remix #vinyl #record #northerngrooves #drybar #manchester #dj #memories
A Tricky Situation... I recently had to get one of A Tricky Situation... I recently had to get one of my Technics 1200s serviced. Thankfully, I knew someone who could do it during lockdown. When I collected it I also bought a few records off him. So I took this 1995 Tricky ‘Pumpkin’ 12 for 50p - a blind purchase on account of the Alex Reece remix. ~ Tricky attending Speed nights with the likes of Björk and Goldie at Mars Bar back then. But Tricky popped up randomly in my life again yesterday, twice!... My daughter and I watched Beyoncé’s 2011 Glastonbury re-run on the BBC, when she invited Tricky on to sing ‘Baby Boy’ with her. What followed was a bit cringeworthy, as Tricky looked caught in Beyoncé’s full-beam sequinned headlights! (Who wouldn’t!), he then disappeared, saying later that his mic didn’t work. Then last night I watched the 1997 movie The Fifth Element - for the first time. Up popped Tricky as a baddie! He did some alright acting, while I really enjoyed the whole OTT sci-fi vibe. #tricky #alexreece #drumandbass #dnb #beyonce #glastonbury #northerngrooves

Rewind exactly 20 years ago... Thursday morning I Rewind exactly 20 years ago... Thursday morning I got my Desmond 2:2 BA(Hons) degree, then by the afternoon we were driving down to Glasto listening to DJ Hype tapes in the car. The rest is a bit hazy, but I deffo remember going straight to the dance tent around noon on the Friday to see E-Rollers. It went off big style when this tune ‘RS2000’ dropped - I got soaked in beer! Other highlights for me that weekend; smoking magic mushrooms to Cypress Hill 🤪, Moloko making the sun come out. Roni Size Reprazent, DJ Krush, Ozomatli, Happy Mondays, Chemical Brothers, Moby, DAVID BOWIE! #goodtimes #glastonbury #memories #glastonburymemories #dancetent #drumandbass #ezrollers #dnb #northerngrooves
First post! Had to pinpoint the first D&B track to First post! Had to pinpoint the first D&B track to melt my head! ‘Danny’s Song’ by PFM - shoutout to @progressivefuturemusic ! It was 1996 and I’d recently discovered Orbital’s back catalogue and their new album ‘In Sides’. I adored their track ‘The Girl With The Sun In Her Head’. Then I discovered D&B ~ through Goldie’s Timeless album and this Logical Progression compilation. Danny’s Song seemed to chime with everything that I liked right then. #momentsintime #drumandbass #dnb #pfm #ltjbukem #logicalprogression #orbital #northerngrooves

Buzzin! Been fettling all evening, I’ve put a mu Buzzin! Been fettling all evening, I’ve put a music centre in our Welsh cottage. First tune ‘The Long And Winding Road’ - apt! Cobbled together some spares to install a classic Dan Smith Holy Trinity Hi-Fi (low-end vintage Technics TT, Pioneer amp and Mission speakers). First time I’ve had a solid stone floor to work with. Sounds fab! Now I can play my Cob Records purchases while I’m here. #hifi #vintage #technics #pioneer #missionspeakers

With 2 sweaty, tired and hungry kids waiting, I managed to pull out 4 nuggets of vinyl in the half hour that I had. Happy shopper! ~ Santana, Sniff ‘n’ The Tears and Mondo Grosso albums in the bag. I’ve been popping in for a dig 2 or 3 times a year, since I met @naomiakl who’s been going there since Now16 came out. When I went in the shop Naomi jokingly said to ask for one of their famous bumper stickers. I came back with an original first pressing !

Recently rediscovered and restored, this was origi Recently rediscovered and restored, this was originally my Great Great Grandad James’ Italian violin. He was a musician, belonged to a band and was a teacher of music. The violin passed to his young son when he tragically died in an accident. My Great Grandad Ernest then learned to play it and took it to sea during the First World War. He managed to save the violin when his ship was sunk, wading to shore with it above his head. His sons, my Great Uncles, then learned to play it. A lovely heirloom with an amazing story that will stay in the family.
